UNDER OUR SKINS.

Billy Sunday is holding a revival in
Boston. Boston is nota BILE or notorious
for beans and hateur. Previous 10 the
beginning of the Billy Sunday series
it was freely predicted that Bill
couldn't overcome the atmosphere. The
idea was that the Boston infeld would
hold against any hitting Bill might be
able to do. Some Of the ministers had
feet as chilly as the Boston manner OF
greeting strangers. But what does Bill
the Batter do? Just walks up to the
plate and cracks out a home run UP
the sawdust trail for LAO men out of
an audience of $4,000 on a dark and
rainy night-the record Of all the trail
hitting experiences of Mr.. Sundays
revivalistic career.
1t is quite probable that more than
half of the trail hitters do not agree
with Billy Sunday on many points
upon which he is vehementiy insistent;
but Boston or Butte. when we get down
to the few actual essentials of religion
and righteousness and right living all
men agree on those whether they are
rich or poor. ignorant or educated. Bill
Sundays task is as easy in Boston as
elsewhere. Atmosphere" is artificial l..
The deep seated impulses and convic-
tons Of men and women are natura.
and alike everywhere. There is moth
ing sacro sanct about the essentials Of
righteousness. They are common as
air and water. 1t doesn't make much
difference whether they are express ID
in polysyllables or the vernacular Of
the sidewalks. The main thing is that
they be brought home TO US; and when
they are it doesn't matter much wheth-
er we are college professors or farm
hands, live in Boston or Oskaloosa, they
get home under our hides and set US
thinking. And when men get TO honest
thought on the subject of the essentials
Of righteousness they ali agree.
We cheat ourselves into thinking we
are different from other men and wom-
en-, kid" ourselves, as the boys say,
bu THE surest thing is that the coll
onels lady and Judy OGrady are sis
ters under their skiing and that goes
double for the colonel himself and Pat
O'Grady.

government by them is assured and
that being so we shall begin before
many years to reap the harvest we
are sowing now.
Show the boys a good time. Let
them know that we are glad they are
here. Make friends with them. They
are friends worth having. They are
your heirs to citizenship and popular
sovereignty. If the things you be-
lleve in are TO be carried on they will
have to carry them. The only earth
ly immortality is youth. They are the
recruits to our faded youth, the
armies of our purposes.

The front hail closet is place where
people put things which other mem
bers of the family would give one year
of life to locate.
Despite the great advance in archi-
lecture during the past century, this
dark, hump backed dungeon is in
serted into almost every home by
architects afio do not care what hap
pens after the contract is let. And
what is the result? We see it all about
us in the hopeless, despairing look OF
husbands who after hunting thru every
room in the house for pair Of last
springs rubbers are obliged to carry to
their daily work pair OF cold, moist
fee: and a nose which trips a sneeze
every thirty seconds. How husbands
maintain their temper and standing in
the church, under such handicap Is
one OF the unfathomable mysteries
Of life.
The trent hall closet is alWaya con-
structed about two feet wide and runs
back to neat peak under the stair
way. The architect lines the interior
with shelves and hooks, so that when
a near highted husband goes to look
for his fur cap he will run into them
head on and back out thirstins for re-
yenge. The front hall closet IL never
lighted by anything but the kitchen
window which makes 1t a handy place
to crawl into on both knees and look
for pair Of gloves which are good for
another winter. Many man has

bers objected and they took their mat
ter into court for settlement. The
Judge, after hearing all the evidence
and thinking It over. decided against
the contentious Of the villagers.
Il have reached the conclusion that
the legislature enumerated only such
amusements as are subject to police
powers said the Judge, adding: Tn

the game OF golf is commendabble
recreation and is not an exhibition.
show or amusement, in the sense In
which there words are used in the
statute
That reads like common sense to
all who know anything about the
game of golf. which IS indeed, a
most commendable form of recreation,
a form in which many more ought to
indulge themselves, before the hob
COLLINS get them. It Is nothing more
than walking thru green fields with
the intense interest of game which
Is so absorbing that the walker is un-
conscious Of his physical exertions.
In this country the gains has been
lorgely played in the past. by what
are called semi-leisuremen, but 1t IS
being transformed into an exercise for
very busy men whof realize the need
of some of the outdoors in their sys-
TENS. In Scotland. where the game
has been played longest. the working
men have their golf grounds and they
go out and play a game after their
days work is done. There 1t Isl not a
fad, nor looked upon as mania OF
men with nothing to do, but 1t is re-
garded as necessary part of health
full and vigorous living.
