The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1916-03-10

Tom Hartley and Nellie Cook were |
married December 18th, 1907. Tom
is the son of James Hartley, and
James, you will remember, is the bro
Their of H. K, who died several years
since on north .Kimball. Nellie is one
of the daughters that have graced the
home of our fellow townsmen, the
old timer Mat Cook, who yet makes
his home here. So both Tom and
Nellie have in them that pioneer
stock of yore that was willing to pay
what thing was worth. and never
tried to get something for nothing.
II. X. when dying, told the Hired Man
he did not believe he was saved, be-
cause he had never paid a price big
enough for thing of that kind. The
Hired Man explained to him what the
preachers say the Bible teaches con-
corning salvation, and the dim eyes
of the old man who died a very few
days later, filled with tears and he re-
piled that under those circumstances
the gate was wide open for him, and
two days later when we stood around
him working with his aching body and
Strengthened out his tired old legs, he
misunderstood us and thought we
thought he was already dead. He said,
boys, | think you are a little pre-
vious with this laying out program"
but in another two hours his spirit
was at rest and his body silent. But
what | started out to say was this,
Tom and Nellie have had a happy
voyage thus far, the eager winds have
always hit their sails and the star has
been above. Well, the other day, dur
ing that big snow we had, they both
got down with this grip disease. They
did not want to bother neighbors and
neither supposed it would last more
than day and night, but it kept hold
ing on. They did not want to send
TOR nurse just yet and so they wor-
ried on alone. They got sicker and
weaker, until one day, 10 and behold,
they could not get out of bed, still
they did not phone for anybody. Then
they began to get hungry. Their emp
ty stomachs began to cry for bread.
, They had already eaten up everything
they had cooked when they took sick,
and now they just had to cook some
thing. Tom crawled out and made
fire and pulled himself into the we'll
filled pantry, thought of the prosper
Gus cellar and of his winters supply,
but he broke over all doctors rules,
) put on big kettle of lima beans,
stuck in big chunk of pork and went
back to bed to wait DEVELOPMENTS.
Twot hearts that beat as one and two
!, stomachs emptied from their long
fast received lima beans with perfect
delight. and their strength returned
. Immediately and now Tom swears by
! beans.
t The Hired Man has had his atten-
S ton drawn to the splendid price po-
S tatoes are now bringing, and has had
i it put up to him to talk about plant
J, ing potatoes this year. On general
e principles it is always best to plant
n cheap seed. That is, when you have
0 to pay dear for seed, it has put it into
: the heads of every body that there is
2 lots of money in that product, and
+ consequently the thoughtless planters
e will all rush into that particular stuff,
E and the next fall they have a lot of
: it, but a mighty small price. When
o seed is cheap, the thoughtless farmer
s says, there now. l won't get stuck
g again on stuff that won't SELL Any
: time the great majority of farmers are
It wise to this cheap seed proposition,
: the truth stated above will not hold
e good, for they act on what they think
d they know; that is, they all go con-
e trary, just supposing that all the 9TH
It ers will not. The time has come when
s this idea that farmers don't have to
$. have any brains would just as we'll be
II sent to Grover Cleveland's inocuous
g desuetude, for the farmer must now
+. have more gray matter in his Uranium
q than ever before, and it HAS been a
e. whole generation since they were
d fools. and the Hired Man makes this
v statement right in the face of mer.
h chant telling me the other day that
Ie he had bought lot of eggs thrown
e out of incubators last year and was
rs watching out this time.
