THE HIRED MAN

Feed him little less. Name him
Awful Awkward Alganon.
Our daughter twenty years old
tells lies and she wants to quit it but
cannot. She will be joyfully relating
some experience she has had and will
add to it until it is another story alto
gether. What remedy is there for
herr" The next time she tells some
thing and draws on her imagination
and makes it bigger and better than
it was, just let her stop right in the
middle of her radiance and glow, and
simply say, "now young people I
have started in to lie about that That
last I was saying is the lie part of it.
This is really the way it was" By the
time she does her old lying nature
that way few times, she will be able
to adhere pretty closely to the truth.
But you must remember. that a good
many pretty fair folks tell things just
q little better or little worse than
they were. The wise head always
figures on just how much of this bosh
there is under the skin of the talker.
GLOW many arms do you suppose
are broken each year by the crank on
the Ford?" There are five million
people cranking Ford cars. One out
of every two hundred brakes an arm
more or less seriously each year That
figures that $4,000 broken bones each
year is the crop IN it costs $4,000 for
surgery and loss Of another fifty
dollars for time and salary that means
that $2,500,O0000 each wear vanish in
thin smoke because of that little crank
on the Ford. But it is worth it, think
you?
"Is it healthy to sleep in a room so
cold that you see your BREATH" Bet
ter sleep where you can see your
breath than where you can smell it
Some of our citizens Come home in a
way that the family can smell their
breath and this is not considered quite
so healthy as where one is able to see
it. Where you can both see and smell
ones breath it is usually considered
time to also see if anybody is feeling
it.
"How much ought family of five
to save off of salary of $4,000 in
Idaho" Depends upon the size OF
the eighty dollars. Some eighty dol
lar salaries don't amount to much. A
janitor getting $50 ought to save SIS
of it. That is, | should .hink that his
wife would not need to have all the
clothes that another wife might need
to keep UP with her social crowd. a
bank clerk getting $50 and whose wife
is almost forced to keep UP with the
wives of men who get two hundred
dollars will find that his eighty dol
lars goes glimmering on short order
and if he is not careful he will pick III
a few odds and ends about the staml
drawer The eithy dollar family
ought to put away fifteen dollars of i
whether or no, and if higher salariec
folks don't like their style, let then
lump it.
1--WE have two or three youns
couples who sit and spark in church
is there any help for it," I do no
see what harm there is in it. | do no
see why you would want any help TO
it. The preacher certainly has no
forgot his young days when he wen
to church for no other purpose thar
to have some place to go with hi
dearie. People in that state of minc
might make you suppose they arr
listening to the sermon, but they ART
not listening to anything except tn,
invisible something that ooze
through the eternals about them. TIL
young fellow is making up his mind t,
agree with the girls father on polite
and with her mother on baptism, an
outside of that, he is absorbed lie
, the preacher hammer away with hi
, old Jerusalem gospel in its purity an
/ be slow to callLthe young folks dow
t and he will do all their christening.
