you like a ak of hounds? You have

Now lot mo tflve yon a Hinall amount
of advice. It pays to lo homt. You
may not "tfo much on religion," and
think that doetrino In for children and
weak-minded women, hut you will find
that before another century rollti around
tho "cell" that enilnated from your or
ganization, called a church, ha reacted
and you are tho fellow that i8 "sold."
Tho people, and tho friend of tho
people, who havo lout money by this
rohblahop will commence a fljfht
agalnmt you and your church; and
twice the amount will not be able to
ra tho evil effect caused by it
against your church.
You are pluyliitf ho wild, Ik it not

If our contemporary in cornet, wo
havo a true account of "papal evolu
tion." This 1 not the only instance;
there are many and it In wonderful what
a capacity tho papal machine ban to
evolve anything that tho (papal) heart
can wish. Wo read tho following:
The poe has given notice that tho
"holy coat" of Argonteul must not bo
confounded with the camlcag coat of
Treves, though both are to bo connlder
cd genuine. As upwards of twenty
coals have been assorted as a part of
the apparel of Him who took no
thought for what He should put on, it
Is not strange that this endeavor to
nuike tho matter plain to Humanists
should bo ma do.
High Five or Euchre Parties
should send at once to John Skhahtian
O. T. A., C. H. I. & 1. U. R, Chicago.
TEN CENTS, in stam)s, per pack for
the slickest cards you ever shuffled.
For 11.00 you will receive free by ex
press ten packs.
In order to prevent a repetition o
tho recent disgraceful efforts to abridge
the right of free speech, Tim Ameri
can has undertaken to raise a fund
with which to prosecute all persons
hereafter guilty of such an attempt. It
matters not how small tho sum, every
American who prizes that boon should
help swell the fund. We do not ask
any one to go into this, hut will receipt
(or any amount sent In for the fund.
We have received contributions from
Oregon, Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska and
other points. Tho money so raised will
be used to prosecute all violations of
the law guaranteeing free speech. Our
proposition is contained in this blank
which contributors sign:
