SUNDAY, THE SCOFFER.

The notorious Rev Billy Sunday
is now drawing 81 900 a week for con-
Quoting so-called revival in Wichita,
Kansas.
He preached a sermon the other
day from which the following word
for-word extract is excepted:
II stand here as a representative
OF God. Come on you damnable
blear-eyed, dirty dogs of corrup-
tion. defy you to your teeth
Take some of the stuffing out OF
your prayers and straighten up"
We know saloons in which no man
would be~permitted for moment tc
use such shocking language
And yet churches over the countr,
are frantic to engage the services O.
Sunday and his ilk.
In the name of the Man of Sorrow
who said, Suffer little children Il
come unto me- how can they do it?

A BACHELORS CHRISTMAS.

The Christmas chimes hung over all,
the streets were full of snap;
The cars and cabs were Iammed with
folks with bundles In their Ian.
A world of joy everywhere. the
twilight stars were out,
But ON that little Pussy's face i seemed
to see pout.
An anxious look shone fin her eye, a
look that spoke of dread,
And then she seemed to speak, "Don,t
any one want met" she said.
Twas then 1 bought that grieving top

And placed 1T mid the treasures round
about nay own hearthstone.
The anxious look upon its face had fad
ed quite away,
And where the glance of dread had been
were wrinkles bright and gay.
It's presence sIoriaed rhe room, and
seemed to speak of times
Before this empty heart of mine had
lost its Christmas chimes;
Before the silver touched my locks, or
care my spirit stunK,
In those glad days of long ago when m,
poor heart was young.
1t Iured me from my solemn thoughts al
grim advancing age.
1t took my book of life In hand and
turned back many a page.
1T tempted me from ways severe. from
broodings dark and vain,
And ere knew seemed to feel ths
springs of youth again.
Youth, did 1 say: Nay, more than youth

Before the hearth. and like n child pIa y

A stranger sight than that of ours Il

And fell asleep. that little toy huggc

"Wednesday night Hon. Is F Sher.

mayor of the city of Jefferson
This step comes "a surprise to
all and is deeply regretted. for the
city has prospered under the Sher-
rell administration.
Mr.. Sherrell assumed the duties
of mayor i'll 1905, was reelected
1907 and 1909. When he went
into office the city had no credit
and no money. ln fact there was
floating Indebtedness of over
So 900 and judgment of about
the same amount.
Notwithstanding the appeal of
the occupation tax and the loss of
the whiskey license, by reason of
prohibition. from which the city
derived an annual revenue of
about 81, 500, the above debts have
been paid. The city credit re-
leased, the semi-annual interest
have been promptly met, and
about 50, 900 Of the bonded indebt.
ness has been paid and cancled.
The streets and bridges have
all been kept up in good shape
and the city well lighted; the tax
rates have been reduced from 81 .65
in 1906 to s1.1O in 1910. There
is now on hand a cash balance in
every fund as shown by City Sec.

total of 50, 970O1.
Mayor Sherrell has made a
splendid record as head of tn e

hoped that he will reconsider his
resignation, as just now there is
much in prospect for a brighter
future for the city and a steady
hand is needed to steer her into
