''UNDER A CROSS FIRE FROM THE CHAIR-wARMERS."

Did you ever drop in of an evening
and try to play pool under a crossfire
from the chairwarmersl
It's the limit.
It has golf slapped to a standstill,
and pony polo isn't one, two, nine.
From the moment you reach for your
cue the sofa-pounders cut loose and chin
you to q call-down.
"Breaw 'em easy, now!" says old
Thirsty Bill.
All the afternoon he's been sitting up
with some ice and q bottle of Wilson.
That's all.
He has to close one eye and squint
the other when he looks at you, but
he's as wise as weasel.
If you stood him up he wouldn't
know the IA ball from the cuspidor.
One of those old dubs that's never
happy unless he's teasing his throat
with booze or talk.
Then Red Necktie rolls his barrel in
the shop and cuts conundrum:
"Why don't you play the 8 ball in the
slider"
Red Necktie only played one game in
his life and that was tag.
Somebody caught him then with the
goods, and all he has done since is cud
die down in chair and tell people how
to make fancy with the cue.
Then the three Bixby Brothers
Shine, Polish and Glisten-start in to
write epigrams.
"Play the round BALI" suggests
Shine.
"Chalk your feet and you won't slip!"
observes Polish.
'Play the yellow ball in the coy
corner!" chirps Glisten, and old Thirsty

Now, comes the Miami Record and de-
clares, after an investigation, that the

age district and therefore paid no taxes
on such land.

but declares that he made serious

The Jacksonville dailies continue to
misrepresent the drainage question.
They misquoted the speech delivered by
Governor Broward in Jacksonville some
time ago by asserting that the Governor
declared that all the papers in the State
are corrupt. For such prominent papers
to make the assertion, many of the pa
pers of the State believed it and criti-
cised the the Governor harshly. Now
it is learned that the accusation was
false. Prominent citizens who were
within few feet of the Governor when
he delivered the address declare that he
criticised only the Metropolis and the
Times Union.
But in order to get even, in order
to bring down condemnation of the press
of the State on the Governor, these pa
pers did not hesitate to deliberately mis-
quote the Governors speech.
The Times Union is nightly against
the drainage proposition. All kinds OF
argument have been used by that paper
to show the absurdity of the proposition.
Yet less than four years ago, the same
paper occupied the same position on the
question that the State administration
now does. Does the Times Union expect
the people of the State to perform an
acrobatic sOmersault every time that
paper doesf. A few years ago the Times
Union was talking about the State drain

The Preacher.

At the unitaron church yesterday
morning Rev Frank Fay Eddy declar.
ed that TIE world is outgrowing the
Christian religion. and said IN part.
"Nill the world outgrow the Chris
tau religion? would answer most de-
cidedly yes, II We mean by Christianity
the religion OF authority, OF one church,
one book, one central dogma of SAL
walton through a crucified Christ, The
eternal OPERATIONS which were IN the
heart of Jesus will not be outgrown.
The morality Of Marcus Aurelius aud
Confuoius, the philosophy OF Socrates
and Plllo-these ana many other etcr-
naNy iiuo things will never be out

the gree. majority Of those who call
themselves Christians the privilege ~

centra dogma 10 be a crucihed Christ
by whose blood the redemption Of the
world W9s purchased. This religion OF
mira lc. Of peculiar revelations and
abnOrmI beings Is the aspect Whlcn
Christianity still exhibits.
The sweetness and beauty ana
greatness which we may find In the
heart Of the human Jesus Is not aeld
representative, as yet, OF the Christian
religion. II Is representative OF re-
.iglOu however. 1t does not matter
what II g called. The adjective Chris
tan has narrowed and bllghted every
thing TO which II has been attached
through the centuries, and II stil re-
talns much Of the old content Unless
the Christian world Is satisfied 10 point
TO the man Jesus and say seek there
the way, the truth and the life, 1t is
most certain that all men and women
Of large aspirations and intellectual
honesty Will surely outgrow the Chris
tan religion. In fact look over The
list OF the great souls Of the past two
centuries and see he's many of them
escaped from the bondage Of the re-.
ligion Of authority. TO outgrow Chris
tianity win bring no disaster on lhe
world, To lose Christianity because OF
degeneration would work harm But
the growing soul only loses the old be-
cause it confines and limits. and before
the old Is abandoned the soul is filed
with new and diviner things"

Preached Yesterday Morning In First

of Methodist missions in this state,
preached yesterday morning IN the
First church from the text. "Who can
forgive Sin but God?" Luke 5;2l. Rev.
Talbot oad IN part:
III we are to have peace, now or
ever here or anywhere, we must re
forgiven, and that for the reason that
we have flnned This word sin is
one Of the colossal words OF Revelation.

There's a roller rink out at the end

bet with each other as to how many

"A wonder. isn't he?" said the cinch
bettor to the man with him. queer
how he can skate on one toe that way,

while roller skating in his life.

about 81 worth of that, just to give the
house n tone" said the other man.

fall down." said the lead pipe man, re-
garding the bet as common theft on his
part.
Two minutes later the fancy skater
came down with a thud while essayins
a difficult one-heel trick, and the cinch
man paid up and made noise like ar
