Where the italian skies
Arch with their azure span.
Silent OF lip he lies
There in uhe Vatican.
What of his high estate7
That does not make him great
Prelates and popes and kings,
They are but petty things
Unless in the mortal urn
The fires immortal burn;
sympathy. charity. faith.
The simpler. larger trust
Love that mounts like a wrath
over the grosser dust
Place and pomp and power.
They are OF little worth:
Creeds abide for an hour;
Deeds. they sweeten the earth!
Not for the robes he wore.
Not for his churchly ties.
But that his fair life bore
All that ls good In man,
DO we honor him who lies

 But not more astonishing than the

OLD JIMMY sHECKARD WAS THE CHAMPION
 BASEBAIL ssJUJNfPER,,

During the last baseball season the geptie art of Dumping was rn,1el, practieeo by baseball stars put 1he1, were pikers compared witI sorle of the Bumpers of that peroid when the National and American leagues were waging bitter and relentless war on each other. It was almost a daily occurrence for some player to jump from one circuit to the other, and turn around, and jump right back again.
 Of all the jumpers of that palnly period of the players. the champion was Jimmy Sheckard. He set up a new worlds record for .tjumping's which will probably never be sur passed. Jfmny,s tickle ways are re- called by the fact that this is the thirty-fifth anniversary of his birth. James Ti1den Sheckard was born in Pennsylvania oa Nov 23, 1S79 The present crop of fans remember Jimmy principally as the able Ieftfelder of Murphy & Chances pennant-grabbing Cubs, but Jimmy was playing big long before that. When he was only fifteen he played semi-pro ban with Marietta, O., and Lancaster, Pa. and at sixteen he became a real league player with Portsmouth, Va. In 1897 he was outhe1der for the Brockton club of the New England League, and was the sensation of the season, bat ting 37O. Such performance na- tura1Iy attracted wide attention, and ~AA 1&Aa Ina weNA NaMaAaA law tho Rxa@sk-

casions Sheckard jumped from one league to the other It was great fun for him-and he played the clubs against each other to the limit. In the end. however, Brooklyn won out, and when the cruel war was over Jimmy was wearing Brooklyn uni- form.
 He remained with the Brook1yns until the close of the 1905 season, when he went over to the Cubs. And. speaking of luck, that very year the Cubs achieved the pennant, and re- peated in 1907, 1908 and 1910 Jimmy remained with Chicago until 1912, and the following year rounded out his National League career with St. Louis and Cincinnati.
 As an outhe1der. Sheckard had few superiors. As a batter. he passed the BOO mark three years during his big Hague career. and was always de- pendable man with the stick, But it is as a jumper that he is entitled to enduring fame.

 It was at this period-a dark. and gloomy one for the magnates-that Jimmy pulled off his great jumping stunt John McGraw was then man aging an American League club in Baltimore, but it was a hopeless sec ond division aggregation, and the fans, accustomed to the sensational playing of the old Orioles, refused to enthuse over the new leagues outfit. McGraw needed a good outfielder, and, as Sheckard was about the best in those days, he went after him. Star players were then able to name prac- tical1y their own terms,. but although Sheckard was not unduly modest the Baltimoreans came across. But Brooklyn also wanted Sheckard, so every time Baltimore offered a boost in salary Brooklyn came right back with another raise.

TURKEY MARKET
 IS UNSETTLED
Natives Scarce and Western Birds Unknown Quantity,
 Say Dealers.

Owing to a complication of causes, iEhe turkey is likely to lose his prestige as king of the birds this Thanksgiving and an increased number of chicks will give their lives as a sacrifice in order to appease the holiday appetite.
 Hartford market mems plans have been considerably upset over unsettled conditions of the turkey market, but those who will want turkey for their Thanksgiving repast need not worry. as they will probably be able to pro- cure the coveted bird from some source Uncertainty, however, as to just what they will be able to do has held back the Bridgeport market men from announcing their prices.
 There will be scarcity of native turkeys in the market. One market man said yesterday that there were certain towns in the state on which he had depended for years to supply him with his natives and these towns reported this year that their supp Iy would no more than i'll the local de-
 mands. Whether the turkey raisers
 have found the birds unproftabIe and have raised fewer for the Thanksgiv- ing market this year or whether there is an increased demand in these
 towns. is not known. The latter is not likely. however. for the local dealers
 look for a falling off inthe demand for turkeyt his year.
 The uncertain business conditions have caused an unusual practice of leconomy in nine families out of ten and 1t Is believed that many families which have always had turkey for their Thanksgiving dinners will dis pense with the bird this year and sat- isfy themselves with chicken. Advance orders for turkeys in this city, and what the market men have heard tli- rectnly and indirectly, have prepared them for falling off in their turkey trade this year.
 The western cattle trouble-the | epidemic of the hoof and mouth dis l ease-has also affected the turkey l business and has interfered more or keys. Some dealers have even re- I ceived word from those to whom they 1 had looked for their western supply 1 that the orders could not be filled for
 this cause Armour & Co, yesterday. received a. consignment of western
 birds from a section which has not
 been invaded by the foot and. mouth
 disease and the folWs are said to be of unusually fine quality.
 While the market men will proba- bly, not know the exact conditions un- l til tomorrow, and will be prevented until then from establishing their
 prices, 1t was said yesterday that tur-
 keys would probably bring a prevail
 ing price of between 5 and 40 cents ] Fowls will bring about 28 cents a pound, chickens for roasting about 3z cents and broi1ers 30 cents. Ducks
 and geese will probably sell for about l 80 cents a pound.
 All the trimmings for Thanksgivfne are in the market now and the pre- 1 vaiIing prices are in line with the usual Thanksgiving prices. Vegetables 1 of nearly every description are of an
 unusually fine quality this year Tur-
 key or no turkey, the Thanksgfving dinner will be a success.
