THE DOLLAR.
Hits the Bulls Eye-"Money Talks

Los Angeles, Cal, June /, 1903.
Mr.. James e. Hughes:
Enclosed is SO cents for extra pa
.pfrs of the Atheistic number and 81
~ I. : y =. " ~
h{ll how Indifferent Freethinkers are
IA sustaining the papers devoted to
mental freedom, and when | read OF
the hundreds of delinquents on your
list. | feel to say: Damn 'em, why
don't they pay up?" There is nothing
Of more importance than free and
untramelled press, for ideas find the
widest and cheapest circulation
through papers and magazines OF any
method of dissemination If we had
no papers devoted to Freethought we
would see, mighty quick, how ignor-
ance and superstition would thrive
and flourish without opposition. Ideas
must be kept in motion to produce
results. and if we want to see pro
gress and advancement in human al
fairs, we must sustain radical ana
rational publications. Christianity is
preserved and perpetuated by untir
ing zeal and persistence In Keeping IL
before the people; by proclaimihg II
in every possible manner. If we wish
for the spread and increase OF Free
Thought we must push it along and
keen advocating it, and not let our pa
ners die out and starve those who
manage them. do hope the appeals
made for assistance will be needed,
and YOU will at least get what is due
ON overtime subscriptions.
Always Yours,
CLAIMING SEVERANCE.
Comrent-I do not want to be brag-
cling, all the time, on what the Blade
has done, though, even If do so, am
certainly not taking the credit all to
myself. for anybody can see that when
I was thousands of miles away and
did not know what it was saying 1t
was doing certainly as well, and prop
ably better, than when | was here.
The lines in that letter that strike
me are: If we had no paper devoted
to Freethought, we would see, mi9hty
quick, how ignorance and superstI-
ton would thrive without opposi-
ton"
When | started the Blue Grass
Blade in 1884, it was regarded In the
South that Infdelity was one OF the
Northern issues that are advocated by
long-haired men and short-haired wo-
men-I had never heard of Brother
Shaw's Independent Pulpit then-Dut
my town, Lexington, KY, spoke Tor
the whole South, when it said 1t would
be damned if it would let an lnfidel
paper start here. So it started with
| personal assaults of me and insults
! and threats on the streets made by
| Christians that they would kill me
and a public meeting, in the Court
| house in Lexington, represented by
the pulpit and the saloon, all WORKING
| like hand and glove together and all
of this cheered and supported by edl
tors and papers of that day in Lex
| ington and that are now obsolete
| Then they tried Imprisonment, begin
ming with putting me in jail and then
in the penitentiary and ! now, ever
at this day, have second peniten
tiary conviction ON the books OF the
/, United States Court against me, ano
il gives me so little uneasiness thai
| coula not tell, now, which of severa
cases against me ii was that ! was
convicted on.

interests everyone. The M. X. & T.,
doesn't claim a clear recipe, but its
publications treat of the enormous
growth of fruit culture in East Texas,
the money-making possibilities in the
gas, oil, lead and zinc regions OF
Missouri and Kansas, and the delight
full climate of Texas and Old Mexico.

Hntuorous department.

SHE DIED GAME-A tailor, having
amassed fortune by trade, cut the
shop and removed to the country, to
live in dignified leisure. His wife was
a bit Of a shrew and apt, as wives are,
to find out her husbands weak points.
One Of those was shame OF his
former occupation, and she harped up
on the jarring sting until the poor
wretch was nearly beside himself.
Her touchword, Scissors" spoiled
his grandest entertainments; 1t was
flame to tow. He stormed and raved.
The obnoxious instrument was being
constantly brandished before his eyes.
They were walking one day on the
bank Of river bounding his grounds.
You observe" said he, "the delta
formed by the fork Of the river; its
beauty decided me to close the con-
tract"
Every probably, my dear; 1t re-
minds one so much Of an open pair Of
scissors"
One push and she was in the water.
Il will pull you out If you promise
never to say that word again!" yelled
the still enraged husband.
"Scissors!" shrieked she, and down
she went.
"Scissors!" as she rose again.
The third time she came to the sur
face too far gone to speak, but as the
water closed over her, she threw up
her arms, crossed her forefingers and
disappeared.

EASILY ExPLAINED.-So many quick
retorts are ascribed to the "Autocrat
OF the Breakfast Table" that it some
times seems as if the witty poet could
scarcely have taken time to eat or
sleep. The last reply is quoted by a
man to whom 1t was made only a few
months before the death Of DR.
Holmes.
The talk between the two men had
fallen on the subject Of age.
you're five years my Junior" said
DR.. Holmes. but I believe I don't envy
YOU"
Il can't see why you should" said
MS friend. You carry your years
much more lightly than I do mine"
That's natural" said the autocrat
i've had five years more practice"

"THE DARK AND BLOODY GROUND
Almost at the same hour that John B.
Marcum was shot by an unknown as
sassin in the court house of Broathest
county, Sid Baker, who married the
sister Of Jim Howard, recently convic-

bel, was assassinated and Hugh Burns,
who accompanied Baker, was shot
through the arm in the Clay county
battle, which took place near Enedai-

away, it marked the reopening of the
Baker-Howard feud, which has long
been one of the bloodiest Of the Ken
