G. III. Markham, the new vice
president of the Houston Il Texas
Central, is a believer in the devel.
opment Of the dairy interests. In
a conversation recently he stated
that the possibilities in this con.
nection we're unlimited. lie re-
marked that in Oregon the business
along the Southern Pacific lines, Of
which he was then general freight
and passenger agent, had been
built from almost nothing to a very
considerable source of revenue b.
the farmers. He believes in the
dairy business by the gro Fers Of
garden truck and by farmers gen.
orally who in the main neglect this
branch Of their occupation. "The
possibilities in Texas are simply
magnificent" he said. "From
what | have seen, am sure Cen
trail Texas can be made to equal
Iowa in the matter Of butter pro-
duction, and thus add over twenty
millions to the wealth Of the state.
The climatic conditions, the ease
with which good stock may be Sc.
cured and the splendid tronsporta-
ton facilities Texas enjoys, should
put the state in the fore rank Of
both butter and cheese producers"

THRouoH A SEWER.


New York. March ii-EdWard Boyle
plumbers helper. Is the hero OF
trip through the sewers % New fofk
which rivals In interest and danger
the wanderings Of Victor Hugo's Jean
Vatican through the labyrinth BY
which the streets Of Paris are drained.
For quarters OF mile he was
swept helpless through the dark by
a rush OF water running like 4 mill
race. Overhead the rattle and roar Of
the bury streets went on. AZ last he
was thrown, dazci anl bewildered,
from the mouth OF the sewer into the
East river. Men on a seow. moored
near by. hauled him out and brought
him 10 land again.
For a time be could not speak for
the shock Of his terrible experience
had paralyzed his nerves. Then. while
the little crowd that had gathered
about him stlll were asking where he
had come from. be found his tongue
and asked for smoke" Half an hour
later he had refused the assistance OF
the ambulance wagon surgeon who had
been summoned and had started on his
way home. seemingly none the worse
for his strange adventure.
Boyle Is employed by a plumber who
has the contract for keeping In order
the sewer which runs through East
Fifty-thlrd street and emptIes into the
East river. There had been some trou-
Bile with the drains al No 252 and
Boyle was sent with two other men 20
remove the obstruction. Immediately
opposite the house Is n man hole OF
the main sewer. and the men decided
10 start their examination there a
ladder was lowered into tho sewer and
Boyle. with a guide rope dangling
ready. went into the manhole. He had |
almost reached the bottom when n
rung broke and he lost his balance. Ho
screamed as he grabbed NJ the rope, /
and his companions bent over in time
10 see him miss It and disappear with
a splash. Boyle said the water was
rushing through the sewer AZ terrific
speed. II was three or four feet deep. /

not keep on his feet. The Fifty-thiri

nents more. which. he says. seemed
Ike hours. he saw the light at the end

most into the river and struck out for

REVIVAL SERVICES.
Work OF Evangelist Mcconnell at the
Baptist Church.

The preacher, Rev. F. NJ. Nc.
Cornell, and his singer, Mr.. +. j
Harrell, are at work. Thursday
night the congregation was good,
and the sermon and services were
( very impressive. The evangelist
spoke on "The Purpose of a
Church" He is a forceful speaker,
close, clear-cut Bible preacher
and those who hear him will be
pleased and profted.
Yesterday morning, good crowd
met to worship. The speakers
subject was, GLOW to Obtain Power
from the Holy Spirit. Zach. 4:6,
Phil. Alb.
/. We must settle The question
as TO whether we actually want
power.
2. Spiritual power may be re.
ceiyed from God in abundance.
Eph. 1920.
3. 1t is that power that goes out
but from Christians, and not that
which they retain, that blesses the
world. Acts 5: 3, 8: II, LIS.
NIGHT SERVICE.
The subject for last night was,
"The FOOLS Saying" Ps. Ia: /.
We may learn from our own
mistakes, and from men, a FOOLS
unreasonable creed. 1t is said,
Experience teaches dear school,
and fools will learn in no other. A"
The saying is wrong. The truth
is that fools will not learn even in
that. Wise people learn every
where-fools nowhere.
1. The atheist says this ain his
heart" A crooked heart makes a
crooked creed.
2. The thing he said was not
true. (a) The belief in God is 20
universal as to prove il true.
(b) Under proper conditions even
atheists will call upon God.
c)Design proves a Col. (e) Mat
ter is powerless undirected by in
tolligence. (d) Intelligence proves
personality, hence the frs. cause
must be an intelligent God.
3. What shall we say Of the
man who believes in Gods exist
ence, but who will not serve Him?
He is more foolish than the atheist.
The atheist is misled by a fallacy;
the believer in God faces all the
dangers of his robellious life with |
his eyes open. He believes in a
judgment, but makes no prepare
ton for it; future punishment, but
does not try to avoid it; in heaven,
but does not Try to gain it; know
