about with 4 good many men who
have talked with me about it. Their
wives are better when somebody is
around, but here you complain that
yours is just the other way TO. Let
her rub 1t in a little when company Is
around, 1t won't hurt you and might
be the means of keeping matters so
adjusted that you can go right on
being the head of the family while at
home, and ! should think you will be
at home the greater part of the time.
The neck is so closely allied to the
head that 1t often can turn the head
any way it wishes. Some pretty fair
wives get it into their heads that it is
real beautiful to make other women
think their husbands do but little else
than cater to them and love them day
and night, and your wife NAV be
catching this disease. 1t is sort of
paralysis of the nocturnal nerve of the
Viaduct connecting the medulla and
cerebellum. Keep sweet.
81 am really in misery because of
my former mistakes. Is there no way
to get help? Is there no balm in
Gilead? IS there no physician there?"
Answer: | know you read the bible
some or else you would not be able
to quote those two scriptural texts.
1t you are woman you may come
see, or write to, Mrs Hired Man, who
is my wife, and to me direct if you are
a man, and if we do not have a way
to help you we will make a way. We
have some men and women to whom
we can go and swear to eternal Sc
crecy and get help for almost any
deserving case. Yes, there is plenty
of help just when you need it most.
Don't hug some misery to your
bosom, tell it to some c1ose-mouthed
friend and get rid of it.
Here is a joke on friend of mine.
He is lover of women, but his wife
tells everybody that he is a regular
woman hater. He says nothing about
it, but it annoys him muchly. Can
you guess who he isl" l might guess
at some fellow, but not hit him. His
wife is pretty clever, to say the least
She don't want her husband to be-
come ladies' man, which is just
about as unenviable reputation as a
man can get A ladies' man, of all
men, must be pitied. He is just soft
enough to be noticeable and just
coarse enough to be watched, and just
simple enough to deceive himself If
your friend is really annoyed by this
cuteness of his wife, he has it alright
and ought to be classed where he be-
longs. If he is enjoying his wife's
jealousy in the matter, it is not bad
sign, for it is hard to make me think
that there is any love where there is
absolutely no jealousy.
"My little five year old boy prcvari-
Gates beyond measure, tells little
stories (and big ones) whenever there
is a chance and if the chance is not
at hand, he makes it. What ought we
to do?" Answer: Your laddes is but
proficient in an art that we all have
more or less. If you had told me
what his daddy does for a living, or
how much you are prone to sidestep
the simple truth, it would help me
prescribe. l read of a preacher who
did as your boy does, and he was
finally taken to task by his session.
He admitted his guilt, begged forgive
ness and aid to- recoverey. He said,
"brethren, it is true. do eXaggerate.
have done it all my life but by the
grace of God and your love | am
through. l have wept and cried for
days and nights about it. In fact |
have shed barrels and barrels of tears
about it, actually casks and casks of
tears, but l am through now When
your laddie comes UP with an inn
probable story, treat him with the ut
most indifference, pay no attention
to him, let him see the utter lack OF
interest in himself as we'll as in his
story. Don't allow HON to suppose
that you believe him. If you are a
Christian, pray God for your boy.
81 am twenty, my girl is about to
fall in love with another fellow, it will
about kill me, honestly, if she does,
can't YOU say something that will open
her eyes? Hurry" You do not love
your girl nearly so much as you will
the first year after you are married,
and yet young husbands must give up
their brides in death if the demands
are made, and they rarely ever go in
sane or die from it. Better let your
sweetheart come out into the open
right now than later when she is your
wife, for if she is leaning that way, its
only matter of time. Don't do a
lot of boshy things and get agitated
and promise all sorts of foolishness
but stand right square on your dignity
and say to her II am out for a square
deal, you are my hucklebcrry it you
say so, we will travel along together
until the undertaken overtakes one oil
us, and if some overtaker undertakes
scalcy piece of business between us
it won't work so far as | am con-
cerned. Now its half past ten and
have hard days work to do tomor-
row, let's say good night" Drive your
horse right straight home and go tc
bed. If that girl is worth shucks and
you ought to have her, you will get
her. If you fail out, pshaw, just look
around little bit.
"A ncighbor has two little girls ant
thew don't look anything alike. One
has brown eyes, the other blue eyes
Can there be any suspicion justly
thrown at this family?" Yes, you
