Clyde Hayes, Who Calls the Trains In Chicago's Big Northwestern Station, Has a Voice Like a Foghorn. Chicago.?Clyde B. Hayes is the railroad Caruso. Every day from 3:30 p. in. to 11 be proclaims the departure of more trains than any other station caller. His concert platform Is of all steel construction and it Is located way up near the splendid celling of the new Northwestern railroad station.

Presidents of the United States, boy orators, world famous evangelists, divinities of grand opera, baseball umpires?none of these ever aad the constant opportunities of Train Announcer Hayes to enlighten and Electrify a listening multitude. Passing swiftly over the poor boy and burning ambition section of his life, we find Hayes in full charge of a night accommodation train in Nebraska. Yes, until recently ho was a rail road conductor, and was treading the threadbare aisle of a Nebraska accommodation, occasionally unhooking a brightly nickled lantern from his left elbow and dropping ofT Into the night to wigwag the engineer. (Jne day the division superintendent of the Northwestern line at Omaha summoned young Conductor Hayes Into his grim presence. "Are you aware, Mr. Haves, that you have been 'turned In' a number of j i iMiiMii .sawr jrnnnnf Caller Hayes. times lately?" said the superintendent to the conductor after the latter had nervously placed his cap on the edge of the glass topped table. Hayes trembled and his heart sank. To be "turned in," in railroad patois, means to be the object of complaints by passengers. "What have I done, sir?" he murmured anxiously. "You have disturbed the sleep of a largo number of passengers on this line," said the superintendent. "Letters have come to jue from traveling men who ride on your train, and they say that when you announce a station at night your voice not only wak^R them, but scares them and knocks them out ot a proper frame of mind to do business the next day.

Hut It seems that Mr. Hayes is a walking library for volumes nnd volumes of stentorian noise. It couldn't be suppressed, and as he bad no time to attend a ball game and let out steam on the bleachers, he had to resume his old habit of standing at one end of a yellow car and closing the joor at the opposite end by sheer force of his low register. Also he would cough when Impelled by the platform draft, nnd the stovepipe would collap.-e with a jangling noise. For a time the gentle patter of cinders would be stilled nnd the volatile dents in the water cooler would take up tbe echoes. At least, that was the description given by the sleep-eager passengers who signed a petition which was sent to the big chief at Omaha ere another month had passed. The railroad officials were deeply pu/.zled by the case of Conductor Hayes, who hail proved himself relia hie and efficient It! every other way. Some one suggested putting him on a day run, whore people sleep at their own risk, or tit the mercy ol the train butcher. In the meantime the hilarious story of Conductor Hayes and the sleepy drummers found Its way to Chicago and Conductor Hayes was ordered to report here. He came wondering and promptly he was set to work learning the list of train departures. Then when the new station was opened, like an admiral on the porch of a battle-hip. he stood in his high balcony and b? gan his interminable recitations In ear in s; For a day or so he wrestled with echoes and acoustic snares, but now he has mastered the problem of resonance in the great sta tion.

GOLDEN TEXT?"The Lord 1b rry light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?"? ! Psa. 27:1. TIME?Joslah was slain In battle B. C. 608. In the 31st year of his reign. Jeholaklm his son began to reign the same year and reigned eleven years, B. C. 608 to 597. PLACE?Jerusalem and Judah. JEREMIAH began to prophesy B. C. j 626. In the 13th year of Joslah. soon after Joslah began his first reforms; and he j prophesied 40 years, to B. C. 586. the year that the Temple was destroyed and Jerusalem burned to the ground. We turn now from the career and character of a good boy who became a good king, to a bad young man who became a bad king; while the same prophet who aided the first for 16 years tried now to stem the tide of evil favored by the other during the 11 years of his reign. Thirteen years of labors to make his people serve and obey God have passed since Joslah entered upon his great reform. The Pharaoh Nccho of Egypt marched along the scacoast of Palestine northward to meet the armies of Assyria. Foolishly and needlessly espousing the Assyrian cause, Josiah met him at Megiddo on the plain of Esdraelon. was defeated and killed. Professor Kent calls this dla: aster unquestionably the most tragic event in Hebrew history. The reform party at once placed upon the throne Josiah's third son, Jehoahaz, 23 year* old, evidently because he resembled his father, but as soon as the victor- | ious Necho returned from the Euphra- | : tes he reversed the arrangement, car- j | ried Jehoahaz in chains to Egypt after a reign of only three months, and left on the throne his elder brother, Eliakim, 25 years old, rightly Judging hira to be of a character more suited to his purpose. In token of vassalage Eliaklm changed his name (in form, but not in significance) to Jehoiakim, I "Jehovah raiseth up." He proved to j be a tyrant, of whom Jeremiah speaks always in condemnation. His mag- ) niflcent palace, built by forced labor, his murder of the prophet Uriah and ! his persecution of Jeremiah show his ! character. Jeremiah was a native of Anathoth, a little villaeg three and one-half miles northwest from Jerusalem. His ; father was Hflkiah, a priest (not the high priest who was Josiah's aid). He .. oo r>f o rnfirlnp- PVnilisitf'lv Sensitive V* a * VV.. ?o? ? ? nature, and yet had a spiritual courage that triumphed over all weakness, and compelled his body to the most difficult and dangerous duties. He never failed. Ho was the butt of ridicule and scorn. He was put in the stocks. He was publicly whipped. He was misrepresented as an enemy. He was imprisoned several times. Hut he kept right on. He was like an elm tree, whose branches yield to every breeze, but which no storm, not even one that upheaves rocks from their beds, can cause to move one hair's breadth from its place in the ground. It is no wonder that he was sometimes discouraged, disappointed, almost despairing, i He has been called "the weeping prophet" because he lived in such dark and evil times, but the only wonder la that he ever had such glorious gleama of hope, and that his prophetic eye ever pierced through the darkness of the night tempest and saw the silver lining beyond, and the rays of the coming dawn. He was a "meliorist" rather than an optimist. He saw the evil, but he was ever working to make it better. Like a doctor in a hospital he looked at disease from the curative standpoint. In the beginning of Jeholakim's reign <H. C. 608) Jeremiah makes an earnest appeal to the leaders and the people, almost like an inaugural address, or the annual sermon preached in Hoston on the inauguration of the governor of the state. The prophet stands in the court of the temple. The people not only of the city but of the surrounding country are flocking Into the court to Join in the worship. The reform was halting. The kingdom was Impoverished by the heavy fine of 100 , talents of silver and one of gold ($220,000) which Necho of Egypt had imposed. It was a fitting time for at . earnest appeal to repentance. 1 Jerusalem was acquitted by tht : princes. They realized that he had ho?n the sDokesman of God. Then some of the elders, the leading people, Instanced the case of the good king Hezeklah. He did not slay the prophet MIcah, who boldly threatened the destruction of Jerusalem?that Its Bite wo^ild become a plowed field, and the temple a heap of ruins, unless they repented. Hezeklah did not kill MIcah, but on the coutrarv he led his people to repentance, and Hie lx>rd averted the danger. The verses following tell us of another prophet who fled from danger to Egypt, was followed by the ernis- ' , sarles of Jeholakiin. brought back and | executed. This story Is meant to showhow serious Jeremiah's danger was and perhaps to contrast Jeremiah's faith and courage with the timidity of Uriah, who vet aid not escape his enemies, but found a sad end Is the strong adverse wind that make, i ? . u fly high toward heaven. pro\ 'ed tlu-t It is hel i fast by its cord . ;the ;* the s'ring the adverse winds . ould simply blow it to its fail and ru n.

It ass, a well-known writer of Stevens Point, Wis., <*ho is himself a cured consumptive, holds that un less resting becomes a business to the tuberculosis patient, ho might as well give up his fight for health. "The ! period of infection with tuberculosis," he says, "is not a vacation. It is r, 24-hours-a-day job. True it is a period of idleness, but one of intelligent, directed idleness. The day's work should consist of rest; rest should he the only business on hand. The light exercise, or hour of reading, should be considered as the reward of a good day's work, like the evening of slippered ease to the tired business men at the end of the day. This recreation, however, should he considered only as an Incidental result of the pa- I tient's work, not the main object." His Thoughtful Wife. "I hate to boast." said a Cleveland lawyer, "but my wife is one of the most economical women in the world. The other day she told me she needed a new suit. 1 said she ought to have it, by all means, but asked her not to spend a big bunch of money without letting me know about It. Well,.the next day she said: 'The tailor said he couldn't make the suit for less than $150. I thought it was too much, but told him to go ahead.'

HAVE NO FREE I LAND TO OFFER1 DIFFICULTIES SOUTHERN RAILROADS MEET IN SOLICITING IMMIGRATION. SOME INTERESTING FIGURES Western Lines Have Vast Areas of Government Land?President Finley of Southern Shows Contrast?Industrial Department Co-Operatcs. Washington, I). C.?The radically dl.Terent conditions that confront the raliroads of the Southeast as Compaq d with those of the Northwest and Canada in the work of soliciting agri- j cultural immigration into their respective territories are strikingly shown !n a statement made by President W. W. Finley of the Southern Roitwav rnmnanv. replying tc crltl cisms made in an interview recently printed in a progressive Southern newspaper, in which it was stated that the railroads of the Southeast ara not doing their full duty in endeavoring to attract desirable immigrants into the South, their efforts being contrasted with the activity of a railway in Canada. President Finley says: "In comparing the work of this character being done by the railway companies of the Southeast with that being done by the Canadian company referred to, and by some of the western transcontinental lines in the United States, we should hot lose eight of the fact that many of these western lines, both in the United States and Canada, are owners of large tracts of agricultural lands, granted to them in aid of their construction. The revenues which they obtr.in from the sale of these lands constitute funds on which they can draw for expenditures in connection ' with the solicitation of immigration and other development work. "The companies operating in the Southeastern States, however, must draw on their operating revenues for all expenditures of this character. What this means may be made clear by citing some figures from the last annual report of the Canadian line : mentioned in the interview referred to. The land grants to that line have j amounted to 33,416,202 acres, of which 12,013,816 acres were stiil unsold as of June 30, 1910. In the year ended on that date its revenues from land sales amounted to $6,106,488.15 and its agpregato revenues from the sale of lands had amounted to the very considerable sum of $83,418,141.59. "The Southern Railway company has no such large tracts of la ml i which can be disposed of to immi- ; grants and, consequently, does not enJoy the advantages of large revenues from land sales, but must draw on its | operating revenues for expenditures in connection with the solicitation of immigration and other development work. The western lines mentioned, in addition to having large sums of money at their command, realized from j the sa'e of lands, for use in the soli- i citation of immigrants, are in posi- I tion to offer their own lands direct to immigrants at definite prices; whereas. the lines of the Southeast, having no such large bodies of lands of their own, can do no more than bring pros- j pective buyers i.ito touch with those ! having lands for sale, and cannot always be certain that the prices of lands may not have been advanced since they were quoted to our immigration and industrial agents. ' Notwithstanding the fact that the Southern Railway is without these advantages enjoyed by some of the Westnrr, linno if ll!>? f mill ttlP titll0 of jtS organization maintained a land and Industrial department for the purpose of co-operating with the communities j along its lines for their development. It is striving to make its work in this direction in the highest degree help- | ful and in the year ended June 30, 1010, its expenditures for developo.ent work exceeded those of any other railway company in the United States with the single exception of one of the transcontinental lines."

THEY CHEATED AT CARDS Experienced Shopper, Who Was Wise, Put Hubby Onto Facts of the Case. Speaking cl family poker parties, this really happened: A young married couple attended such a session at the home of a neighbor the other night. And when this young couple got home, the female end of the sketch said: "Jim, I hate to say anything about the Halls?they seem to be nice people. But I'm afraid they cheat at j cards." "Nonsense!" "I knew you'd say that, and it's dear of you to be so unsuspecting. But?well, what was the price of the chips, tonight? Five cents each? That's what I thought. Jim, I ex- : amined those chips carefully, and ' they're the very same thing that I ' could have bought at Jones's store for a dollar a hundred in ail mree i colors, too!" BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT "When my first baby was six months old he broke out on his head with little bumps. They would dry up and leave a scale. Then It would break out again and It spread all over his head. All the hair came out and his head | was scaly all over. Then his face broke out all over In red bumps and It kept spreading until It was on his hands and arms. I bought several boxes of ointment, gave him blood medicine, and had two doctors to treat him, but he got worse all the time. ' He had It about six months when a friend told me about Cutlcura. I sent and got a bottle of Cutlcura Resolvent, ; a cake of Cutlcura Soap and a box of Cutlcura Ointment. In three days after using them he began to Improve. He began to take long naps and to stop scratching his head. After taking two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes of Ointment and three cakes of Soap he was sound and well, and never had any breaking out of any kind. His hair came out In little curls all over his head. I don't th'r.k anything else would have cured him except Cutlcura. "I have bought Cutlcura Ointment and Cuticura Soap several times since to use for cuts and sores and have j never known them to fail to cure what I put them on.
