RAISING TrRKEYS-

Miss Anita Martin is known throughout Texas a.
the Turkey Queen" on account OF the many tur-
keys which she has raised her ranch in that
State. So great has been the increase in Miss Mar
tins business since she started with four turkeys
five years ago that she now employs two women
and a boy to help take care of her one hundred
stock birds. Miss Martin sells the turkeys to regu-
lar customers and claims have cleared $500 this
year. The most expensive birds are those which
feed on nuts and other fancy foods. which render
their flesh SWeeter and more palatable-
All the eggs Matched by incUbatOrs and the
food which the turkeys eat Is grown on the ranch,
thus saving much expense.
Miss Martin heartily recommends TO enter
the turkey raising industry.

ROCKING THE BOYS 10 s1EEp


I sit me down in the twilight cool
or a busy summers day,
And close my eyes, and live again
The time so far away.
When Eddie and James and John were here:
And the tears to my eyes will creep
For seem to sit in the old brown chair
A-rockin' the boys to Sleep
I bring John back from home of wealth
Where fame and honor dwell
And sing, and rock him to sleep once more
More happy than tongue can tell
brave the storms on a shoreless sea
Where tempest and surges sweep,
And James is here and 1 rock again
My wandering boy to sleep
I build stair to the heavens tall
And reach In it's sweet domain
For little Eddie and bring him back
To my lonely home again;
My throbbing heart Is heavy now
With a yearning strong and deep
AS smooth the curls of my only babe
And rock him once more to sleep.
They say the old chair is useless now.
'Tis creaking, and dull with age
And must be forever put aside.
Like a well learned. worn out page
But the old brown chair sings a song to me.
AS II whispers of other years
And it tells of the roughened places smoothed,
And murmurs of childish tears.
Yes, the old chair tells in an unde-tone
In a voice creaking and old,
OF the comfort 1t gave through summers heat.
AS well as In winters cold
How those little dependent lives were soothed
Through their childish sorrows deep,
As II did its best to ease each pain,
While rocking the boys to sleep.

Dr. Keigwin, OF West Presbyter-
ian Church preached a sermon on
Sunday morning from the following
text: 1--WE know that we have pass
ed from death unto life, because we
love the brethren John 5-l4. In
illustration OF his meaning he
quoted a portion of the 18th chap
ter of Paul's epistle to the Corin-
thlans, instltuting the word love i'll
place OF charity, as given in the
revised edition, concluding with the
words without love we have be-
come as sounding brass or tlnkling
cymbals. He thought much of pro.
fessed love was unadelterated sell
fishness, and that feeling would
have to be changed before the king
dom OF heaven could be entered.
Creeds were notnecessary to saliva
ton, the love OF Christ, and the sim
cere love of our fellow men were the
essentials to open the doors of par
adise. Professions were nothing,
long Pharsaical prayers were
nothing, they could not deceive the
Almighty, and even men judged
the tree by its fruit. We do not
gather grapes from thorns, or figs
from thistles. Malice has no place
IN the heart of the true Christi an.
There abideth faith, hope, love,
these three, but the greatest OF all
is love-"

JUMPED !.
THE TRACK.
Engine No. 81 Jumped the
Track at the West Yard
But No One Was
Hurt.

The passengers on the Delaware
division OF the p, w. e. B. railroad
which left French street station at
S.13 o'clock this morning were given
lively shaking up in the west
yard. Engine No. % which was
pulling the train jumped the track
at the interlockiug switch and
stopped with such a sudden jar
that the passengers in the forward
car were thrown forward but be-
yond good shaking no one was
hurt. Conductor Ellis who was in
charge of the train at once reported
that the engine was off the track.
When train No. Sc of the Delaware
road northbound came into the west
yard it WIS found that engine No.
% was directly across the track.
The train was backed off that
track and went to an adjoining one.
The end Of the baggage car was
slightly damaged in passing the
engine. The cars cleared the OBJ
struction by less than half an inch.
A shifter was sent for the train
and it was hauled back to French
street station where engine No. "a
was attached. The train pulled
out at 9.17 o'clock being l hour
and minutes behind time. Train
No. "a Of the Maryland division,
due here at SIS, was delayed by
the obstruction. The wreck train
went to the scene and succeeded
in removing the engine which was
but very slightly damaged. The
railroad ties where the engine
jumped the track, were consider
ably cut up by its wheels. Where
the engine jumped the track there
is regular network OF rails and
that helped the engineerin stopping
the engine so that there was so lit
tie damage.

STARTLED.
Rev. G. W. Nevin Wants a
Vote on Confessional
ReStatement of
F. Faith.

Philadelphia, May Sat the regular
monthly meeting Of the Philadelphia Pres
bytery, held yesterday afternoon in the
Witherspoon Building, there was some
thing of a sensation developed when a res
olution was presented by Rev. Charles w.
Nevin, pastor of the South Broad Street
Presbyterian Church. to the effect thai the
Philadelphia Presbyte req usst the Cen
eral Assembly to secure a confessional re-
statement of the faith Of the Presbyterian
churches in the United States. When the
resolution was presented largo number
Of the memb left the room, consequent
ly action was postponed until Friday after
noon, when o special meeting will be held
for the purpose Of discussing 1t.
In presenting the motion MIR. Nevin said
that he had been waiting for. some one else
to do so. but as tho matter had not been
mentioned he thought best to speak CT it
before the delegates left for the assembly
in St. Louis. The resolution read:
Resolved, That the Preaby terry of Phil
adelphia does hereby overture the General
Assembly of our church, to meet in st
Louis Nav II, to take such action as 1t
may deem best to secure confessional re-
statement Of faith OF the Presbyterian
Church Of the United States Of America"
"The gauntlet has been thrown down"
said Mr.. Nevin. 1.-The authenticity and the
inspiration of our 1b0oks, the divinity Of
our Saviour and what not has been at
tackled, and not ineffectivsly. There Is the
general impression prevailing that reso.
luton has taken place in the Presbyterian
Church and that the doctrines. as set forth
in theConfession OF Faith can't be defoad.
ed. We have a now Bible text and the
development Of archaeology has thrown
a new light upon many points which were
clou led in the past. 1t is certain that II
our faith is to stand we must hold it up
in the light of the nineteeth century and
put an end to the miserable contention
that is only sitting our work."
When Mr.. Nevin finished speaking half
dozen other clergymen arose. Rev. Robt
B. Wallace, ofGrace Presbyterian Church
spoke against the passage of such a reso-
luton in the strongest terms. Rev. G. A,
Diokey said that in his opinion the great
est caro- should be takon In the discussion
of such an important question. He said
that It should be approached with tho pro-
per Christian spirit and entirely without
prejudice. On the motion of Mr.. H. l..
Lambirth it was decided to postpone vo,-
ing on Mr.. Nevins resolution until Tues.
day, when special meeting will be held
for that purpose.

being the five-act drama, 1.-THE

The acting of Miss Jessie Sawtelle
was one of the features, and her
costumes were a revelation of the
dressmakers art. The supporting
company was one of the best seen
here this season. The scenery was
new and attractive. The six speci-
atty acts introduced were above
the average. The bicycle given
away by Manager Baylis was
drawn by Miss Clara Grub, of No.
