THE HIRED MAN

l get the pest OF her IN the argu-
ment and then to tantalize me She
begins to sing such songs as / must
tell Jesus, all OF my trials and o,
Happy Day and Let me to thy b.
som fly and it makes me so hot at her
that | am often tempted to slap her
quite hard. What would you dor"
Answer: | know of woman who
formerly lived here in Caldwell who
was converted for the fourth time in
a tent over on South kimball, close
in. She used to go home and stick
her saved face up close to her un-
saved husbands and jip him with all
sorts of expressions about having the
best of him. She was saved and he
was not. Well, she kept this up day
after day for two weeks. whereupon
he slapped her jaws good and hard.
/ never advise man to slap his wife
no matter what the provocation. In
your case l should get in the habit
of accidently spilling at the next meal
big batch OF grease on the table
cloth every time she sang one of
these songs for meanness, but you be
right sure that you are not mad be-
cause the devil has you on his side
far enough for any religious song to
roll you.
Tell US plainly, does the Hired
Man think that what we believe and
do, has anything to do with our here
after?" There are some matters that
are settled. There is no more debate
to be made about them. They are
settled for all time. When a man de-
bates these settled matters, he is sim
ply debating with buzz saw. A snake
one time went into a saw-filer's shop
and tackled new file. He showed his
mouth against the file until presently
he saw blood He worked harder and
harder thinking he was bringing the
blood from the file. Presently he saw
dust mingled with blood He though
it was coming out of the file and
worked still harder After while he
wore his head clean out. The file, OF
course, was not harmed. OF course,
what we believe settles what we will
be and do, hereafter. When you die
and the undertaken begins to pump his
your folks say kind O softly, 1--WE
thought we would have him partially
embalmed so he would keep till Jane
gets here" You will then SEE the
dust mingled with blood-you debat-
ers about your hereafter, that you
think you are annihilating, you, !

The Hired Man has received the
following question written r a wo-
mans hand, and | cannot tell whether
it is the young woman metioned in the
case, or some other one who is Jeal-
Gus. "In the next issue of The Trib-
une please state your opinion oil
young man who has been keeping
steady company with young woman
for a month, when he buried his wife
in April?" Answer: / did not get
your question in time for last week.

grade men at the time | opened your
letter and it being so convenient |
simply asked them for an answer
Real estate man Harrington said that
this Young man was very slow indeed
that some men really commenced
their second case before the wife had
died by two or three months. At
torney Jackson said that since Presi-
dent Wilson had set the rapid pace
on the second marriage business. 1t
was perfectly legitimate to get ready
Immediately after the death of ones
wife, to get married again as soon as
one could. Judge Harger was in
clined to take the matter more SER
iously and said that one who had been
we'll pleased in wedlock the first time,
could not be blamed for re-entering 1t
at once. The Hired man states as his
own opinion that this young man IS
rather outside of his rights when his
first wife is considered. 1t IS never
nice to marry under a year after the
ALWAYS a matter for Dame Gossip IT
one starts the second wooing immedi--
ately after the death | know several
really fine men and women who have
been separated by death during the
past several years, and to this day
thew cannot make up their minds TO
marry. OF course nobody can really
take the place in the heart that has
been occupied by the first companion
but there is another place next to
the first place that is frequently Just
as big and good as the first BY all
means let widowers and widows marry
in due time, but let the time be due
Some times it is really a comforting
thing to have some dear friend near
YOU in your Borrowing months, ana
this Young man may be blessed III
that way, and neither of them have
a single idea about love for the other
with all that it would later mean
They may just be good friends, wy
auestioner has struck deep into
real matter of interest.
Don't you think that sprinklins
with water is more convenient ne, .o'
baptism, than the plan OF the imner,
sionists, for sinner far away IRON
pools of water, like men riding. on the
dry plains with little water IN the''
bottles, could be thus baptized? II.

Mr.. Davis of The Tribune has no ide'
that he will be able to settle this bap
tism matter through the columns o
his paper, but he will allow the if iha,
Man to answer any question tina
seems to be for general good. We dc
have thunder storms of course. an'
