BILLY SUNDAYS SWIPERS.

Billy Sunday has opened his gospel
batteries in New York and is Smelling
the ancient haunts of vice as we'll as
the modern palaces OF sin. A New
York reporter copied some of his solid
shot few days ago as follows:
IF church members did their duty,
hell would be for rent and the devil
would be in the hospital before the
Fourth of July.
There isn't enough spiritual power
in a tango dancer to cast out devil
the size of a peanut.
Church members forsake the pray
er meeting for a show, where they see
woman dancing without enough
clothes to make pants for cockroach.
When ! began to preach l wrote
sermons with sentences so long that
they'd make a Greek professors jaw
squeak for week after he said one
of them; but | soon found out that
that didn't get any results. So
loaded my gospel gun with rough on
rats, ipecac, dynamite and barbed
wire, and the gangs been hunting for
hole ever since"

This is the first time that convicts
