THE HIRED MAN

Hammers Sanitarium of ST. Louis
Among other good things they said
the cost of her treatments, lodging, ap-
planes and all, would be reduced
from $675.00 to $575.OO. So far as her
limb and spine ailments are concerned
they promise satisfactory repairs and
state that she will make rapid recovery
thereform.. The poor physical heart,
however, is out of reach of human
doctors and must take its chances with
time and fate. Ruth has the heart that
requires the best of treatment while
passing through the years between
twenty and thirty. She is getting that
treatment where she is and is making
steady Improvement. A Dollar
Shower is being arranged by letter
this week for Ruth and it is hoped
that all who receive the letter will
shower in their dollars promptly. A
remittance to the sanitarium is made
on the 10th of each month.
ga family moved into our school
district this spring and now the
woman wants to run the women and
the man wants to run the school. Is
that democracy" Answer: The new
move things. The old-timers may
have gone to sleep on the job. I will
tell you about a young rooster we
have got hold of. He is just like you
say your new family is. The other
day Mrs. Frank Rose came to see us.
Directly she began to give us things,
and among these things was this big
fat young rooster Well, we put the
rooster under tub to keep the gentle
man until we could get whack at
him. That night he got out. We
have a cat that came to us about ten
months ago. The cat was just thirty
seconds old when he came, for he was
produced right here on the place His
mother came to JUS in distress, hungry.
Well, no sooner had our newcomer
rooster discovered the peace and
tranquility of the serene cat than he
began a vigorous protest against it
remaining longer on this part Of the
earth. He wanted to drive it off the
earth altogether. He was then "a
hours with us. About two days from
now we are going to remove the
Uranium of our young rooster and
thereafter our calm minded cat will
be at peace. I don't offer this treat
ment for your boosters, but I am tell
ing you this as an illustration. |
really do not see why newcomers do
not have a perfect right to get right
into the doings of the neighborhood
and make things move. The real
kernel of this paragraph is the fact
that Mrs. Rose did not stop with
giving us the fat rooster, but she gave
the Hired Man personally $500
check and an interest in sack of
new tomatoes and bananas that she
left on the table and then she ratified
some bright silver coins in Mrs.
Hired Mans hands, wished her bless
ings on us, and silently went toward
her home. If your newcomers arc
leaders, let everybody follow.
"My wife bets you are Presby-
terrain and | bet you are Methodist.
Decide our bet for us?' | sometimes
think that if the Nuthin-garians would
come along l would poin them. | am
not educated like the Presbyterians
and presume do not have religion
enough to be a Methodist, although |
might be able to get into either of
these ranks if l would keep quiet
about my shortcomings.
"Would you advise us to plant po-
tatoes next year," Be just a little
careful about spuds next year. Wait
until Christmas before you decide.
This question ought to be put to some
sensible man on that subject. | have
never shown myself to be a money
maker, and questions about making
money ought to go to those who can
make money. When you see very
poor men advising others how to
make money, it is funny to say the
least. Go ask Shelp Tor Platt or Ray
mond or Smith or Voght about spuds
for next year, and yet either of those
successful potato growers may have
to laugh in the other sleeves another
year. They took the long chance this
season and won out, but the hoodwink
for next year is on their eyes the same
as on yours.
ave have a little baby that is NOT
doing well, get Mrs. Hired Man to
tell you what to do for it and you tell
us in your columns" OF course no
BODY can guess what is wrong with a
baby he has never seen and has never
heard any more about than this. The
chance is the babe needs punctuation
and reflection. A babe must have its
commas, semi-colons, dots and dashes
and periods. Don't make it sleep be
tween two grown people, nor keep it
sleeping on its back all the time, and
fed it regularly, keep the flies and
pnats out of its mounth and eyes,
don't let everybody wake it up to wool
it around and kiss it, don't fear that
it is going to die, although babes do
die, don't think its mamma is killed on
account of the new little tot, let the
household run right along, and call
Doc if the babe really gets sick.
my wife is sweet and loving and
takes her rightful place with me when
we are going along by ourselves at
home, but just let anybody come in
to see us, or let us be out away from
home, and she does everything she
can to show that she is the head OF the
family and that l yield to her every
wish and obey her. She keeps me on
