Religious Foundation.

OMAHA. May 19.-To the Editor of The
Bee: In your issue OF this evening, COM
menting on the action of the Omaha Minis
terial union in calling for the dismissal
OF our efficient chief of police, you sa!
"If some OF these energetic professors OF
religion were to amend their habits so al
to conform a little more closely to the
teachings of the gentle man who founded
their religion, much good might result and
much petty dickering would disappear"
There is one thing l would like to knowt
who was that gentle man who founded
this religion? 1t seems to me II one man
founded a different religion for each MEM
ber OF this ministerial union he must bc
just as crazy as any of these gentlemen
believe that each religion which these
gentlemen represent had its own different
founder who favored a religion to suit his
own taste. READER

CUT OUT THE HOT WORDS
buffalo BiIps Press Agent Tells How
the "Wild West" Has
Reformed.

Major John NJ. Burke, Buffalo Bills right
bower, press agent and general manager,
was in Baltimore with his usual beaming
face and, as ever, redolent of optimism.
IT am not professional reformer," said
the gallant major but 1 would like to see
the American people abandon the swearing
habit We are. as a nation, too prone to
use cuss words whenever things don't go
right or our feelings are hurt. 1t seems TO
me that real profanity should be taboOed by
all who aspire to be considered gentlemen,
SO as to create sentiment that the use of
such expletives Is a mark Of vulgarity and
ruffianism.
Instead of ugly oaths when laboring un-
der excitement, the coming generation
should be taught to employ only near-swear
words, such as BY the jumping Jehosa-
phat' by lingo gee.' by the beard of the
prophet and the like. The late Jim Hogg.
governor of Texas. one of my best friends.
used the Innocent, but blood-curdling, cuss
phrase by goolings whenever his hot
southern blood got inflamed.
"a great number of prominent Ameri-
cans got on very we'll without using actual
profanity. Colonel Cody, though a from
tiersman all his life and accustomed to
the society of men who handle the mother
tongue carelessly, is not given to blasphe-
nous speech. The colonel, when worked
UP, has been known to say 'dog-gone IT,
and 'dag-blame It, and now and then 'dod-
CAST It., but this is the limit of his impas-
stoned vocabulary" ."-Baltimore American.

LEARNED 1T AT WEST POINT
Son of a Diplomat Shows n Trick or
Two to Guatemala Poker.
Players.

1t wasn't exactly 'the old army game"
but it was its young and active brother.
the West Point game of draw poker, that
surprised a number of members OF the
American colony at Guatemala City, in
cluding the American consul general, and
caused a shrinkage in bank rolls that made
a financial panic look tame by comparison.
The story of the game, which has caused
something as nearly approaching a sensa-
tion in the sleepy Central American city
as climatic conditions will permit. was
brought to New York yesterday by Don
Arthur Calvo. The young man is the son
of Don Joaquin Bernardo Calvo. minister
from Costa Rica to Washington, and his
father was a highly amused listener to
the tale in the Hoffman house.
One day recently. Just after the siesta
hour, the club at Guatamala City began to
fill. Several Americans arrived. and
poker game was suggested. There were
only four men present who answered the
call. and no one wanted to play four
handed, so they began to look about for
recruit.
Seated on the balcony Of the club was
young South American. He was guest
Of the club, but none OF the Americans
knew him. Nevertheless, they wanted to
start the game and he was asked If he
played II know little about it," he re-
piled, and the other players congratulated
themselves in advance 1t looked easy"
When the game broke up the stranger
was several thousand pesos to the good.
Consul General Kent was one of the big
losers at the game.
And where did you learn to play poker?"
