Said property sold as the property of Mary Ruffin, Deceased, This 7th day of November, 1917. L. H. BALDWIN, Administrator of Estate of Mary Ruffin, Deceased. Livelier Talker Than Stepper. “Step lively,” yelled a conductor to two old women who were trying to board a cross-town car at Broadway and Thirty-fourth street the other day. “Step lively there, will you?” lie called Lois Mill Well. Mi-ter, ,ve done it—we sure aid. Yes, sir, we had a dandy school lust. Sunday. A billy goat buster, and if size amounts to anything, we had a good one. Yes, sir, we went out in the by-ways and highways aud gathered ir. a few stray ■sheep that had been wandering around without even a bell on. And we just told them that this was not the time to he Hopping about in mental darkness like a hob tail lion on a rickety roost, especially when this old world seems to be going flapdoodle and hipspraddle into tlie lumberhoute ot oblivion, and our different ln>»fidsof religion were being torn and s cattered about like a ragged shirt on a brush fence and (to use Billy Sunday’s words) hit the trail for Sunday school and get a fresh supply of red hot Gospel knowleege pum ped into them before old Gabriel tooti^Hns horn for tlie last time aVttfTiegin to rake in and thresh out what little good there is in tiiis conglomerated mixture of worldly shypoks. And we got. some of them war dering sheep and led them lo tlie fold. Some of ’em didn’t look exactly like a sheep They look ed more like a goat that had been wandering around in the wilderness of useless knowledge or a long eared mule that hgd been sloshing around in the mud of oblivion until he had lost all his harness and kicked the dash board off the band wagon and brayed until his throat war. sore for some one to come and find hjjan and lead him out into green pastures where there was plenty of free grub and a good place to vallow. But people can’t help their looks—that is, men can’t. But a woman can take a handful of flour, awhisp of another woman’s hair and a looking glass and knock fifteen years off her age in about three scats of no time and then turnaround and wink a wink that will knock a man’s golden crown so full of holes it will look like a Ia9t year’s bird nest, As to Sunday school: We can drag them to the fountain but we can’t make them drink. If we could I guess we would want to drown some of them before they backslid. I asked a lot of people once their reason for not attending Sunday school, and you would be surprised at tlie answers. One said every time he went they passed the hat around and wan ted a nickel and he thought all brands of religion was free and he’d be doggoned if he didn’t do without it rather than pay nickel. And there were various other answers about as good as the above. T just want to say to tyem kind of people that religion is just like a dentist filling a big old rotten wisdom tooth, He lias to prize open your mouth with a crowbar and then take a case-hardened steel drill and bore all the rottenness out of it or the filling won’t be worth a hoot to you as it will soon drop out. Just so with religion, only it takes more and better tools for some people. You have first got to hire a preacher that’s got plenty of nerve and he gets his diamond drill and a good sized sledge hammer and goes to work and drills a small hole in your head BIGGER OPPORTUNITIES lively now, don’t we?
