What Billy is Doing

Lidgerwood Broadaxe: Billy Sunday
seems to be the evangelist unusual.
He is out to save the "ninety and nine
just persons who need no repentance"
to the exclusion of the lost sheep who
strayed away foom the fold. Perhaps
that is what is really naeded-a little
injection Of Christianity i"to the
churches and the church members. The
strayed sheep and the prodiga' son,
with all their faults and sins, seem
more human, more lovable and more
capable of affection toward their fellow
men than the church member who
thanks God he is not as other men
neither this publican. If Billy ever
makes Christians out of the church mem
bers, he will stand some show of get
ting the stray sheep back to the fold.
Sometimes there seems to be but a
small difference between the church
member and the common or garden
variety of sinner. The great command
ment is: That we love the Lord your
God with all your heart and soul and
strength and your neighbor as your
self. Now the church member loves
the Lord-and not his fellow man; and
the sinner loves his fellow man; and for
gets his God. When the two are COM
bjned-that's a Christian.

OLD CUSTOM is COMING BACK
Fashionable Ensiishmsn Are Carrying
enutt-boxss Now and Dip Int
Them.

The old family doctor In the sos,
who had been In London and seen Sir
BENJAMIN Brodie, used to tell stories
about his distinguished colleague and
point them by taking snuf. When he
entered the bedroom Of q patient his
beard and clothes were redolent or
snuR; he would brush It OF his how
cred waistcoat. We now read Of q re-
turn to snuhing in England: that .
snuff club has been established In
Leeds; that motoring favors the prac-
tice because the motorist cannot In
the open enjoy a cigar.
We also read, Philip Hale writes in
the Boston Herald, that snuf is bad
for the nerves, and that the modern
brands d%eteriorate quickly; that snun
is also bad for the digestion and for
the nose. since 1t is sometimes adul-
terated with lime. George Tvs snun
was sold for G4OO, and how long did
the fragrance of 1t last?
In many ways this taking Of snun
was a fine, courtly old habit. 1t sc
centuated an epigram; 1t served as an
answer when speech failed; 1t gave
weighty Importance to a tritiing oh.
servation. James I. did not inveigh
against it in his "Counterblast to To
bacco." What more royal present to
an actor or violinist than a gold snuf
box incrusted with diamonds and filed
with ducats or louis dor? Then there
were the %snuffboxes with lids ex-
quisitely painted, with the portrait OF
some frail beauty, or inscribed with q
ribald motto!
If the practice Is revived. should
the pinch be taken with the left hand
or the right? Some one objected to
Richard Mansfield's Beau Brummei
because the comedian took snu1 with
the right.
