Cnat the tram is about to beat him to
the road crossing and whips up his
team to cross first and then slows
down to watch the train pass and he
says there are lots of this kind. Ano-
Their kind is the one who will walk
along the track when the train Is
catching up with him and pretend he
does not hear it coming.
Blacksmith Bennett says he did not
nail on four shoes and rasp the work
and get through in four minutes ana
that it was fourteen minutes it took
to do the job. The Hired Man said
it was fourteen minutes. and that is
some shoeing.
The Hired Man saw a team come
out of one of the alleys on to Kim
ball one day this week at a two-forty
gait and nearly run into some people.
You cannot do that sort of stunt in
a really true city where they try to
keep things up to date and the first
thing we know right here in Caldwell
some driver will get pinched for tear
ing down an alley and out over the
sidewalk at dangerous speed.
The Hired Man came out of Boise
last Friday night on car full OF
fellows trying to make Boise dry be-
tore the first of the year. One fellow
poorly clad, without an overcoat thin
and worn looking, said he would
show these folks how to keep him
from getting drunk. He was tanked
up gloriously and was getting even
with just any body who CHANGED to
think that he was not free American
citizen. He said the saloon men had
made more money during the holiday
week than they had made in a vea-
before and that he was powerfully
glad of it, He twitted and Uttered
north of Star. where they perhaps
about, going home to his family on
some dry sage brush farm somewhere
north of star, where they perhaps
didn't have any more grub than the
law allowed, but he was getting in his
wonderful American freedom-work
beautifully.
Why can't we take possession of
the big basement under the Method
lst church and make place for COM
munlty men-and boy fellowship
Some good organization could be
made with good government and con-
troll and things could be run in tip
top shape in this basementi or
course the very best place for BOYS
and men is at home evenings making
the whole family happy with their
presence, but then boys and men
like to get out once in while and
have regular masculine time of it
Then some homes feel better when
the men folks go down town, for then
they can have regular feminine tim.
OF it. All in all. the town needs a
place to which men and boys may re,
sort, and the Methodist church base
ment can be made into that place
economically. Then besides, there
are two classes of men in the city
and 1t will take two places to fill the
bill. The clean tribe would not Ions
enjoy the vulgar and obscene set thai
: delights in things dark and low anC
mean, and these latter fellow would
not enjoy the company of the clear
E set, so there you are. 1t will take tive
e resorts. The Lord says that he ha:
even had to make two final resorts ir
e order to accommodate all classes, anc
we have to be governed by what tn,
e Lord has learned from his larger ex
perience with men and women. TIL,
Hired Man would want to pick hi

his fault. People reserve the RICH
to come to him and ask questions

whether there is hell for the wicked
