other and tries to prove that the
nigger is the beast of the field"
spoken of in the Bible. He rears
back on his Good-Devil dignity
and vehemently declares that the
nigger is nothing but a two-leg-
ged animal-a member of the
brute creation; that he has nc
soul and is not a human being.
According to Mr.. Good-in- his.

harm to kill a nigger than it is
to kill a hog. That is the sub.

GRASSLAND HYPOCRITEs.

I : =.
you think The Fool-Killer has
ever said one word against the
true religion genuine Christiani-
ty- you d better take your think
er to the blacksmith shop and have
it cleaned out and repaired. The
thing that this old sin-soaked earth
needs most and has the least of is
genuine old fashioned, honest
Christian ,religion-the kind that
can take low-down besotted
wretch, a drunkard, thief, q
lawyer, a deacon, or even a con-
gresham, and transform him into
a decent critter There used to be
that kind of religion on earth, and
| am convinced that there is a little
remnant of it here yet, but it is so
scarce that mighty few people
ever get to see it in operation.
This fine fddle-diddle sort of
religion that is so popular and so
plenty everywhere is worth about
as much toward redeeming a world
as a half bushel Of seed-ticks
would be worth in making a fam
lily pie. The Fool-Killer does con-
denim the modern Mammonized
churches for their hifalutin form
ality in which there is just about
as much true Christianity as there
lis CUTS in milestone.
/ If this world is ever lifted up
and transformed into decent
world, the spirit Of true Christi
anity must do it. There is no
other power that can. But the
churches of to-day are largely
filled up with white washed hypo-
tcrites who can kiss you on the
lips and then turn and stab you in
the back before you have time to
wipe their nasty slobber off.
That kind of cattle are to blame
for the great wave of unbelief
that is sweeping over the earth.
, Those on the outside are not so
+ much to blame for being doubters.
, They know very we'll that most of
the so-called religion they see
around them is a rank humbug,
i. and they naturally conclude that
it's all alike. From their worldly
standpoint they are not able to
! see the difference.

A SERMON ON CARD PLAY
ING.

Jeeminy crickets! Maybe you
thought wouldn't jump a-strad-
die of society's pet sin and ride it
a-bug-huntin'. Well, you'll see.
During my thirty years Of knock
ing about here in this old sinful
world | have been an unwilling
eyewitness to a good many kinds
of club-footed cussedness; but
my peppers have never penetrat-
ed into the hiding place of a more
useless and senseless and devil
inspired business than this infer
nal card-playing habit.
When I see a gang of boozy-
breathed bummers gathered a.
round an old dirty table or goods
box; when see the cigar and
cigarette smoke curling above
their heads like an old woman
burning a plant-bed, and strong
enough to stifie a polecat, can
always guess what they are do
ing. They have got bunch of old
greasy paste boards that look like
they had been used for shipping
tags to send a niger baby's
laundry to hell and back. It's a
sight to see them double up over
those old nasty cards and smoke
and cuss and play. One feller
grabs up the bunch and fips off
little punches to the other fellers.
Then they all pick up their
lunches and look at them and say
Dam" and throw them down a
gain. They keep that up for hours
and it seems to be awful interest
ing. But the only effect such {
performance ever had on me was
to fill me with an unspeakablt
disgust and a profound pity fo1
such a set of internal fools.

God -forsaken card player.

OOOOOOSAS IuSN OOOOOOOSN CsAAN
God forsaken card player.
When a card player starts into
the business, he usually plays
Just for fun although where
the fun comes in at is a nut |
can't crack. But Of course the old
devil has got some kind of an at
traction hidden among those old
greasy cards, and when he gets a
fellow started to playing for
fun'' he soon has the poor fool
graduated into the betting and
gambling class, where fortunes
come and go with the flip OF a
card and where guns and butch
er knives abound.
Old Satan is the champion card
player of the universe, and he al
ways holds a full hand. He has
introduced into society and the
church a number of new and
respectable card games. They
have high-sounding names and
look so innocent that high-toned
society just falls over itself to
give them a hearty welcome. The
new-fashioned> ''mammas' of
good old Israel just can't manage
to raise money for the heather
any more withouta a card party or
a gambling game at the church,
and the daughters Of Zion prance
around among the devils ole
stud-hosses till they tear all the
lace off of their new Sunday
petticoats. Starting with the les
sons learned at the church social
it is an easy matter for the young
bucks to get them deck Of the
"old reliable" and go on to the
limit, perhaps winding up with
hemp neck-tie or a zebra suit.
