and family altar doings. And then there
is Christian church deacon Stewards

and then getting killed i'll a saloon; and
then there's the cutting up of Mrs.

But the funny part of all this business
is that not in one single instance i'll the
whole state of Kentucky is any Jew or
inidel i'll it
Every one of this whole gang that
| have mentioned has not only been a
/ Christian, but they are all the kind that
psalm singing and halleluiah shouting,

DIR. T.. II. Ward is an Episcopal cler-
gyman of this city. He paid me for my
paper one day on street car, and asked
ne not to speak about it, and said |
wouldn't, and I'll bet there is not man
i'll this town who will tell YOU he ever
heard me say word about it. and am
not saying a word about it now; am
only writing
He had a prurient curiosity to see
what was saying in my paper, and he
hadn't the backbone to let the world
know that he read it, and he was trying
to get i'll on the sly.
So when wrote what did about old
Peter getting up that scheme of Lent to
sell his fish that time he caught two
ship loads of them in one haul of his
sein, the Episcopalians just raised sand
and DIR. Ward and Mrs Woodward one
of the richest ladies i'll Kentucky, who
had always been my friend, and who
had sent to me the money to pay for hei
paper by her very polite and liveried
negro servant, wrote me to stop theil
papers. | am for the women whatever

! mother and my grandmother, and my
wife and my daughters, and all my sis

aunts and half my cousins were all wo

, woman, or girl. or man, or two or thre'
men, whichever it was,-for it's all mix
ed up-that he didn't even know Jesu
Christ. and that story in the New Testa
ment about his catching all those fish i
E one of the biggest of all the millions o
fish lies that have been told.
