THE TRUE CHRISTIAN SPIRIT.

Carrying chip on the shoulder, at all times, is not
conducive to peace, quietude and the well being OF
society.
The Blade realizes the fact that the Christian
Egion, through it's paid advocates and ignorant,
fanatical votaries, has invariably failed to miss
single opportunity to wreak it's petty vengeance upon
all who refuse to worship at the shrine of it's tyrant
of god and bow the knee in humble submission to
it's mandates
Not until few years back could any be found
strong enough, brave enough willing enough, to dare
to question its authority deny it's divine origin, ques
ton its power for moral influence and virtue, or
press doubt about the milk of human kindness
tanned within the breasts of Christian fanatics Now
the woods are full of such and women and these
refuse to submit to the orthodox yoke great honor
and glory to them ALL
Seldom any Christian fanatic be found with the
courage to express his or her opinions especially
when those opinions of violence deprivation
Of legal constitutional right and expressive of
desire to impose nfict punishment for mere opn-
ions sake. Once in while some person, but little
removed from the ape, still dominated by savage and
barbarous instincts minus reason lacking intelligent
opinion yet strong in faith and extremely anxious to

BLUE GRASS BLADE


ter up courage enough to express himself and such
person has been found in the author of the COM
municaton which appears in last issue, denounc-
ing the Blade for it's socaed irreligiOus utterances
condemning it's writer's as being bgOted, egotistca
profane, immoral, blasphemOus, etc., and on ad
libitum, ad nfnitum.
For bigotry and egotism commend us all to the
author of that very article He not only sets himself
up judge of the personal character of other
and women, whose aspirations are higher and nobler
than his own, but he confesses purpose to seek aid
from brute force to suppress that with which he
not agree, fearful to leave the matter to conflict of
intellectually. The personal pronoun plays a con-
spicuOus part in his creed and clearly betrays the
hatred, the passion, the envy the malice the i'll
temper which moved him to write in fancied defence
of his "hoy religion Assuming that the Christian
religion produced him and made him what he is we
glad that make pretensons in that direction
but have undertaken to oppose and resist it far
we are capable of so-doing. One such in nation
of eighty millions is just too many. His parents
ought TO be proud of him.
The Blade does not care to undertake any dis
ousson of the contents of his letter 1t would be time
wasted. We are content with an expression of our
opinion of the writer thereof. AS gentle reminder
we would suggest, should copy of this issue fall
into his hands, to practice kindness and charity and
he will get along far better in the world than to
attempt an undertaking that is too big for him.
Suspecting a desire upon the part of the author of
that letter to curry favor with particular ortho
dOx official institution by publication of his letter
in the Blade, caused by seeming anxiety to get it
published we have omitted printing the name but the
original letter will be kept file in Office. IT,
future developments indicate that the motives that
actuated the letter honest and sincere, matter
how erroneous would have objection to letting
the authors name be known
Occasionally some Christian worshpper will write
the Blade and offer mild reproach for assail-
ing that which they hold sacred and usual custom
is to consign scurrous communications to the waste
basket without publication But the article
to which refer is beautifully illustrative of the
Christian spirit of liberation that cheerfully
cept the challenge of publication thereof and have
given it a conspicuous place in the Blade columns.
If we could get few communications like

Refused To Receive Verdict
 From Jury In Monroe.

A very interesting case appealed from the Monroe Circuit Court. was settled in the Supreme Court this morning. when that body decided that the circuit judge has no right to refuse to receive the verdict returned by a fury in his court, in the case of H. C. Harris ct. al,, vs. aham & Brodley. contractors. =.
 Harris the contractors claimed, con- tracted to allow them to erect as house for him. the cost of which was about S2,5OG. He refused to accept the house. wben, finished, on the ground that the contract as to specifications has been reached. Suit was brought by the contractors but the jury return ed a verdict for the defendants, an nouncing at the same time that the contractors were to have the right to remove the house from the lot. 10 which Harris consented. The presid- ing judge refused to recognize the yer dict and discharged the jury, with in- structions 10 get together the following morning to reconsider. They returned a similar verdict the following morning, whereupon the court still refused to accept it. They were sent out again. under certain instructions, and returned verdict fer fer the the plaintiffs for about Sl.4Oo. instead of S2.5o0. the amount asked. This verdict the judge s-.rse.y- ed and the defendan's appealed.
 The Supreme court holds that the judge haS,no right to receive the yer dict from the jury. That the law al- lowing person 10 refuse to accept a building. when built on plans widely varying from those in the contract, may at times work a hardship. but that it must be enforced because Of the moral effect of the law in genera sense. It was shown that by the de- cision of the jury. considering either verdict. there was a great variation from specified plans; hence Harris had the right to refuse to accept the build ing; The decision of the lower court was accordingly reversed and remand ed with directions to enter Judgment in accordance with he jury's first yer dict.

Felix Smart and his wife had d narrow escape from being injured ill an accident on West Sixth avenue Sun day afternoon. They were riding in their auto and after an eastbound cal. had passed them, MT. Smart ran across the tracks to turn into side street. As he did so a westbound car collided with his machine and had it not been for the prompt action of the motOrman he and his wife would have probably been seriously injured. The car showed the heavy machine several feet, but luckily It did not overturli. The motorman finally brought the street car to a stop and the badly frightened occupants of the auto then got out of the automobile. The machine was slightly dented, but was not put out of commission. Many persons witnessed the accident and it
 is said to have been so frightful that women screamed.

HThis is good sized house accord
ing to modern ideas, being % feet by
40 feet and 6 inches on the ground
and the roof Is high enough to make
room for three bedrooms and a bath
room on the second floor, besides all
the closet room any one wants, which
Is making strong statement because
some women want two closets for
each bedroom and an extra one in the
hall for house linen.
The roof on this house Is differ ut
from the ordinary house roof in that
1t has an extra wide projection with
out having the cornice boxed In. We
are liable to get into the habit of
doing things in one certain way until
we think nothing else will do, but the
fact is the extra lumber nailed into
the cornice adds very little to the
comfort Of the house.
Generally speaking, 1t is good pol.

1t looks lighter it certainly looks neat
and attractive.
The design may be built Of any kind
OF material, but 1t probably looks the
best just as the drawing shows with
clap-boards up to the gable ends and
the gables covered with cement on
metal lath; and as for color, a drab
with pure white trimmings looks es-
pecially well. White trimmings on a
house gives suggestion OF cleanliness
inside just as q clean white collar
and cuffs seem to say that the In
dividual wearing them Is particular
about his personal cleanliness. The
white trimmings have the effect of
showing the clean lining turned out
ward just as collar and cuffs suggest
clean shirt.
First impressions go long way.
II the house design Is right, the col
or pleasing and the combination such
as to impress you favorably the same
as you are impressed favorably with

the people that live there. A great
