Is Billy BreckinrIdge Coming Oyer
to US Heathen

The Commercial Gazette in talking
about what Billy Breckenridge said, in
his Cincinnati lecture says:
"He declared he could but admire the
hereto, whom he described as one Just a
little in advance of his generation, yet a
part of it, and who was probably open
ing the door to better destiny for his
people"
This sounds very much like Billy
wants to come over and join us heretics,
since they have fired him out of the Pres
byterian church.
Under any circumstances am in favor
of receiving, into our communion, any
man who says he is sorry for ever having
believed in religion and now wants to
repent and be better man, without ex-
amining him any further; and then we
can kick him out if he does not show
that he is true infidel by leading an
honest and exemplary life. But if Billy
Breckenridge applies for admission into
our fraternity, hereby say to all the
faithful, that am in favor of introduc-
ing, in Billy's case, the Methodist prob
alton plan. and take Billy in only on a
six months trial
1t is quite probable that Billy never
has believed in religion any more than
do, but am not willing to risk him un
til he brings forth fruit meet for repent,
ance, and whole lot of the fruit

Ihe chicago Times on bIIly Brsckinndge.
"Col. Breckinridge aims too high. He
seems to think that he may gather in
telligent audiences that will be interest
ed in hearing from one of his career and
notoriety. Instead of arranging for ap-
pearances such as Terre Haute, he ought
to contract, if he will persist in thrust
ing himself before the public, with dime
museum managers, who can give him a
place side by side with the contortionist,
the skeleton man, and, at safer dis
tance, the tat woman.
Col. Breckinridge does not seem to
understand the difference between rep
utation and notoriety, between fame and
infamy.'

Mr.. Charles c. Moore.
Dear Sir:-In the Blade of Dec. 80
notice letter to you from Mr.. H. L.
Green, editor of the Freethinker's Maya
zine of Chicago saying he would like to
publish sketch of your life.
l have been constant reader of the
Freethinkers Magazine for two years,
and find it one of the fairest and ablest
exponents of reason, justice and common
sense, in the magazine literature of this
country.
In token of my appreciation of and
gratitude to you, for the magnificent
service you are rendering the world, by
throwing the light of the torch of rea-
son, into the creed, code and custom
bound minds of men and women, and
for being yourself, though stepped in
muratgiant, aud 4 shining
example of pure living and high think
ing, ask that I may be permitted to
prepare this sketch of our Kentucky
heathen, for the Freethinker's Magazine.
Should you consent I will say that
will be unable to perform the pleasant
task until after my return from the
National Suffrage Convention which
meets at Atlanta, January 3Ist, as have
my hands full of work until after that
time. Very truly,
JOSEPHINE X. HENRY.
It looks like lots of honor for the
amount of man meat involved, but am
getting right much stuck on myself
these times, and, as have had my full
share of cussing, if anybody wants to
give me any taffy am just exactly going
to let them do it, and shall take my
hair out of the curl papers and have me
a photograph taken up to date, and do
my level best to look stunning in fine
engraving as frontispiece to splen-
did Chicago Magazine.

when / was preacher and she was a
not gone for her and got her, and an
other girl had not gone for me and got
me, there is no telling how different
things might have been.
She was one of my parishioners when
I was a clergyman, and you can catch
some hints Of my religious training OF
her sticking out of her yet.
You can bet your sweet life will give
her the job of writing that sketch for the
Freethinker's Magazine, and shall mail
the original of the letter, with directions
to return it, to Bro. Green at Chicago,
that he may make arrangements for the

Astounding in ready illustrations OF
difficult points, his thoughts being
clothed in choice and simple express
sion.
After the formal lecture was over

ask questions, all of which were
promptly answered by the lecturer.
