might wait six months if she found
that mother had big objections. But
in the final analysis the l9 year old
girl has come to be 20 years old and
if she does not have good sense then
she never will have. Let them marry.
"Mr. Hired Man: We understand
that you are going to write sermon
each day for the new daily at Nam
pa. but we have not seen a one in it.
What's the matter?" The editor read
three or four of my sermons and said
they did not suit. He wants better
stuff than mine.
What is the thiro to do when a man
finds he cannot treat his wife right%
He ought to quit flirting with that
other woman. That will generally be
enough. If that don't bring the de-
sired relief, let him suggest to his
wife that she go to telling folks all
about it. They usually know it any
how, but for his wife to go to telling
it puts a cracker to the whip.
Does God actually forget our
meanness if We get pardon?" God
actually does forget it if you will for
get it, but if you keep thinking about
it, of course God can not forget, it for
he reads our thoughts.
| Can the heather who have never
heard of Christ be allowed to go to
Heaven" l am perfectly willing for
the heather to go to Heaven in BODY
if God wants it that wa. But il serve
notice on them here and now that
they will doubtless be expected to
lop off lot of their heathenism when
they reach Heaven.
"Mr. Hired Man: Are frog legs
good to eat, any way?" A good
many folks will eat frog legs. good or
bad. 1 have eaten them before now
and if could forget at the time they
deal like eating reptiles. An oyster is
on the same level.
"Why does one child live and an
other die?" God is trying to keep
Heaven proportionately filled with
children. Children are not born in
Heaven, consequently God has no
other way to ~ooulate Heaven. He is
obliged to ask fathers and mothers to
part with their darlings for while.
What did you thing of the |. o. O.
F. doings in the Methodist church
the other night We saw you there
don't believe in secret societies my
SELF" The Hired Man does believe in
secret societies, because of the good
work they are doing. Anybody can
get all their secrets by living honor
ably enough to be let into the lodge.
The Odd Fellows is one of the use
!, full lodges and if you will recall that
!. procession as it tramped along you
are bound to admit that you saw but
few runts and scrubs. A tree is
known by its fruits and according to
t that rule the l. O. o. F. is perfect
Jim Dandy.
"Mr. Hired Man: What per cent Of
| dead people are buried alive?" In this
country it would be bad guess tc
suppose that one person in Canyon
, Hill was alive when buried. | have
, no idea that one was ever buried alive
! in the state. Whatever else an un
. dertaker may do, the one thing he il
. taught first to do, is to see that hi!
5 man is dead. The wise minister alsc
also sees to this without making an.
demonstration about it. In my worl
t here for 16 years, only once did
. find it necessary to hold up the fun
f eral services an hour or two. | wa
e little afraid in that one case, Blu
D we removed all doubt

"Mr. Hired Man: What does it cos
in Idaho to get divorce?" That de
$ ponds. Usually one hundred dollar
t Twill lift one clear out of the tangle
v Sometimes it runs away up to a, thou
: sand. Divorces-arc like automobile
e You paw your money and take you
: choice. Then again, some divorce
G are worth more than others. Yo

"Mr. Hired Man: Why is it that S
many Christians do not trust God, an
It what is it to trust him?" If yo
e trust anyone you will believe what h
d tells you, won'tyou? When God ca
II trust you, you will trust God. Nc
n otherwise. When man tells you thu
Is he cannot or does not trust God, h
e at the same time tells you that h
d knows that God can't trust him.
y works automatically and there is n
e deviation from this rule.
