Abolishing Reviyals.

Bishop Vincent, of the Methodist
Episcopal church in Kansas, is re-
ported as attacking the revival sys-
tenn of his chnrch and declaring that
it should be abolished. Kansas de-
velops some queer products. The
truth is the revival system Of the
Methodists has been one of the most
powerful agencies for the spread Of
the gospel Of Jesus Christ and
the uplifting of humanity this world
ever has known, says the Richmond
News-Leader. We have not the
happiness of an acquaintance with
Bis , Vincent, but the idea of a
criticism by this gentleman OF the
methods Of John Wesley suggests
some comparisons not entirely de-
void of humorous suggestion.
In the early history of this coun-
try the Methodists had to work with
a strong, sturdy, rough and rude
people and they worked in a strong,
sturdy, rough, rude way and secured
wonderful results. Their hymns:
their preaching, the conduct OF
their services, appealed to the daily
experiences. the common troubles,
lows, sorrows and the practical hab-
it's of thought Of a population unac-
customed to abstraction and lgno-
rant Of theories.
If a record of these things is kept
anywhere in the world invisible. it
may be that some time we will leare
that the one strong old hymn, "Whn
I can read my title clear to mansl nc
in the Skies" with it's simple, clnse
metaphors, the swinging rhythmar
which used to swell from powerful
throats at the camp meetings, has led
to heaven more people than all the
ornate, fne-spun rhetorical or doc
trinal sermons that have been
preached since the reformation.
Of course relapse. and sometimes
collapse, follows after stirring ap-
peals to human emotion. That is a
matter in the experience Of every
preacher. politician and orator in the
world. It is equally true, however.
that vast numbers of the people can
be reached and stirred through their
emotions who could not be reached
in any other way and that with g
large proportion Of them reason anc
will power reinforce and sustain anc
make permanent the purposes form,
ed and the desires aroused in the
time of excitement.
Nearly all the other denomination:
have borrowed from the Baptists anC
Methodists what are called theil
"evangelistic" method Of direct
earnest vigorous appeals to the
hearts Of the masses of the people
Therefore, it is especially remarkable
that a Methodist bishop should repu
diate and attack those methods
They may be and usually are modifi
ed to fit surroundings and conditions
Processes and ways which are effec
tive among a crude, perhaps an ig
norant people, would be inappro
pirate in a more staid, settled anc
refined community, but as a system
we hope the revival idea never vii
die out.
1t has carried religion into the vii
derness and comfort. hope and high
thought to the pioneers on the ex'
treme outspots Of civilization. 1t ha:
reused smoldering sparks into fam
es, has maintained the public senti
ment and kept alive the principles or
which our society and our govern
ment are founded and sustained.
Abandonment of it would be a gen
eral calamity to people of all relig.
ions and of no religion.

On q Butterfly Farm.

Most people, when they look at q
magnificent cabinet of butterflies,
think that each butterfly was caught
by hand-caught, after chase Of
mile or two, with net. AS matter
Of fact. large numbers Of butterhles
are raised on farms. There IS such
steady demand for them that it pays
to rear them. The stockroom OF a
D. -.terfy farmer is rare and oeaun-
fui sight. It is a room Of glass. in
which hundreds Of butterflies futter
and float.

No Little Ones.


You're glad you have no girls and
boys
To fill your home with romp and
noise?
Well, maybe what you say is true,
Yet friends, somehow, pity you.
No shoes TO shine. no strings to find,
No bumps to bathe and gently bind;
No little dress nor shirt to mend,
No piles Of darning to attend.
No muddy tracks across the floor,
No tiny handprints on the door;
No one to beg for tarts and pies,
To fondly tease with whats" and
why's"
No one To hurry off to school
With tender chide to heed each rule;
No little willing, wayward feet
To gladly run on errands feet.
No pretty baby girl to get
Out of some pout or fancied fret;
No boy to tell big sisters beau
Something unique he need not knew.
No wee, wee ones at night to steal
Close, close to you-no arms to feel
Around your neck--to never hear
These words come lisping in your
ear:
Sweet mother, we, we love you so,
And not boy or girl we know
In all this town, has mother quite
AS good as you-good-night, good
night .
No little ones to grow each year
More fair and tall. more wondrous
dear;
Your quiet keep want the noise,
I want my merry girls and boys.
Eve beautiful seems most to me,
With Cain and Abel at her knee;
And Mary, virgin purest, best,
With Christ, her baby, on her breast.

a Famous Victory.

Peace hath her victories no less re-
nowned than war, and Miss Martha
Fredericks, of Philadelphia, is the
exponent Of one Of the greatest. She
deserves place in the Hall of Fame
for meeting an insidious foe Of So
ciety and putting him to flight; for
performing an act that will be hail
ed with JOY all over the country. In
fine, she has vanquished the idiot
vino rocks the boat and if he has not
got all that is coming to him it is not
her fault.
When a young gentleman named
Perry Springer asked Miss Freder-
icks to go boat riding he conceived
the capital idea of frightening her by
fitting the boat. The girl was not
Immediately dazed into condition
of gibberihg idiocy, as girls usually
are in similar condition. Instead,
she was reused to immediate action.
She reached over and dealt the
Springer gentleman cuff on the side
of the head that landed him in the
water. And she kept him there
awhile, clinging in terror to the side
of the boat, then she cracked his
finger with an oar and made him
wade and swim to the shore, where
he became at once the center of at
traction for a jeering crowd.
If there are any crowns for hero
ines going about, one should be sent
to Martha Fredericks. She not only
did the right thing, but she has
shown how other girls can conduct
themselves so as to put an immediate
stop to the most idiotic pastime of
the summer fool.

SENATORS HAVE THIRST.
Spent Biz Sum for Drinkables at the
Last Session.

The annual report of the secretary
of the United States senate is in some
ways queer document A good
many of it's items might lead one to
think that the senators are an eXpen-
sive luxury.
For instance the sum of $1,000
was spent during the last session of
Congress to provide the members
with drinkables, such as various
mineral waters and lemonade. Of
this amount SIS was spent for lem
ons and sugar.
Besides these items, there are
many other curious things mention
ed. Nearly S12.o00 was paid for sta
tionary and engraving, and even for
such articles as gloves and toh'ccc
cases. Among the other items were
an old trunk, dollar mouse trap,
altar of roses, quinine, hair vigor,
snuff and castor oil.

THE STAGE

"under Southern skiesn Tonight.
One OF the chief charms of Under
Southern shiesr lies In the quaint cos
tuning Of the characters. The period
in which the story is laid is In the
cary '7o's. and the dressing of the
actors Will be found by those whose
memories carry them back to be faith
fui and accurate IN every respect.
One OF the liandsomest scenes ever
placed upon n stage Is shown in ..un.
der Southern Skies in the first act
setting. The scene represents south.
ern country home. and Is true in ey.
cry detail; as the models were made
from photographs of famous old
southern home taken by Lottie Blair
Parker. while on visit to one Of her
eirihood friends who lives In Louis
lana.
II has been the aim Of the manager
of Under Southern Skies. and the
Insistent demand of Lottie Blair Par.
ker, author Of the play, to secure
young and beautiful women who typi.
fy the famed beauty OF the women of
the south. Much care has been taken
In this matter and a lovslier beyy OF
femiuinity would be hard to find than
that which will grace our local stage
when the famous success. Under
Southern Skies. is presented In our
city
One of the features Of Lottie Blair
Parker's Under Southern Skies will
be the rendition, by textette OF
trained voices, Of the old plantation
melodies that were famous genera.
ton ago and which today are as pop.
uIar as ever. Judging from the haartl-
ness of the applause which they evoke.
Under Southern Skies" which will
soon be presented here, carries an act
ing company OF twenty.three people
and the same completeness Of produc.
tion that made It's New York success.
notable. when II ran in that city for
sixteen weeks at the Belasco Theater.
Few women dramatists have scored

Outdoor Life of English Women.

English ladies cook not at all and
their servants cook horribly, but still
the English lady is free to go out for
her walks and drives and rides-and
she does. Then there's the climate
the dear old soggy climate that you
can be out.of-doors in all the year
round. One doesn't stay in the house
and work ones self to shreds over
elaborate cakes for the children-they
eat stale buns. Altogether / believe
the well-spring of our contentment
over there is the adorable gypsy Brit
ish spirit that's always driving one
out of the house-it's so restful to be
out in the open air! They are terribly
envious of the real wildernesses over
