like his wife when he found a good
warm supper for him upon his return
and find also that the chores were
done. but the dress looked bad. The
industrious woman did not notice the
Hired Mn at all. The woman was not
representing herself correctly When
there isn't but one dirty dress worn
to the township, that unlucky woman
is handicapped. Its no disgrace,
suppose, to get out into the barn-yard
and make things move, but then why
not slip on a pair of the husbands
overalls or pair of her own, and not
slop around in skirts that are in the
way for that sort of work?
The Hired Man has always been
sorry that the fly that time did not
walk right into the spiders parlor. 1t
would have saved much vigorous
swatting that We are going to have to
ever more do. One fly put out or
commission away back there would
have meant great deal. | figured out
this wisdom the other day when | read
where New York state has paid out
more than million dollars for pro-
scouting the descendants of one wo-
man who started her line of brood a
hundred and seventy-hve years since.
| think there have been 70 of her
descendants imprisoned, as many sent
to reform schools and as many to aim
houses and aylums. That one wo-
man has cost the comm onwealth as
much as the Boise-Payette project,
what pity that some gigantic spider
did not show her through his winding
stair about the time she was starting
the string of criminals out for flu
ture generations to deal with.
The Hired Man has received long
| forecful letter from our fellow towns
man, w. H. Schenck. He rounds up
of two columns in The Tribune for
present financial and social systems
and ushering in that proposed by the
Socialists. 1t seems to my old friend
dozen should have brought about re-
form that has been the cause of wars
and poverty and wealth for two thous>

indeed The real question asked by
3-4-5 verses of the first chapter of
me for a remedy that will even up
generation. The inspired writer is tel
ling uninspired men that two and two
are four, and if they don't believe it,
1at than, trr Tacrc Cbr;ct &c n
light" metioned in these verses and
the wording means just precisely what
it says. The only remedy in sight
now, ever was in sight and ever will
be in sight, is good wholesome re-
spect for God, and firm belief ir
what He says. If the millions of mer
in the trenches in Europe would al
begin at tomorrow morning and lif
their voices to God for deliveranct
from the war, and every man of them
or any considerable percent of thu
whole number, should believe tina
God does not lie. they would be ou
of the trenches by noon, even if Coz
, had to shift the PERCENTAGE of nitrogen
, and oxygen little, thing He coul,
do as easily as to mix them in tn
: first place. If the unemployed mil
) lions in the world would kneel dow

leve that God does not lie when H

us treat Gods promises is simpl
S equal to us having no God, so far a
r our side of the question is concerned
: The Hired Man was out to Greer
