WHIST IN THE CHURCH.

And that's what's the matter with En-
porie-too much whist. The painted
china set Is married 60 cards. Women
have no higher thought from weeks end
to weeks end than viii n NC head prizes.
They grow nervous. irascible. bad tenn
pcred, and ugly playing cards. Little
crows feet appear ut the corners OF their
eyes afer an evening with whist, and
deep, vertical lines plough themselves
Just above their noses. There are more
plain women in Emporia who lost their
bloom at the rented card tables than there
are women who have worn themselves out
over the kitchen stove. IL is worry, not
work. that makes women fade, and cards
are sapping the juice out of the town.
Only the young people patronize the pub
lie library. The old folks make "What :
trump the chief end of man. Cards
have invaded tine churches. One church
has big factional row blooming upon
the horizon because the pastor has
jumped cards. Another church narrowly
avoided il last winter. A third pastor sees
his b,st customers whoopipg it up in
whist clubs and hasn't the, nerve to say n
word. In the meantime poker rooms,
which are just as improving and elevate
ing and just as helpful To the town as
whist clubs. have opened on Commercial
street and the town is enjoying the II nj
of the seed the women have planted. -
