Chicago.?Clyde B. Hayes is the railroad

more trains than any other station

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.

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

Hut It seems that Mr. Hayes is a

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

of his low register. Also he would

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

Some one suggested putting him on a

In the meantime the hilarious story
of Conductor Hayes and the sleepy

and Conductor Hayes was ordered to
report here. He came wondering and
promptly he was set to work learning

LESSON TEXT?Jeremiah 26.
MEMORY VERSES?13-H.
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

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,

Hezeklah did not kill MIcah,
but on the coutrarv he led his people
to repentance, and Hie lx>rd averted

Resting Must Be a Business.
Will M. 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.'
" 'Well, 1 suppose it is all right,' I
said, 'but why didn't you consult me

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."

the damaging hail that often arcotnpanics

Dogma Leads to Jail.
Centertown. Ark.?E. P. Fair, a
banker of this town, has been sentenced
to jail for one year and assessed
a $500 fine for drawing a pistol on
his brother-in-law, James H. Stroud.
The trouble arose because Stroud is
a disbeliever in Infant baptism. Fair
Is a Methodist and holds that dogma
as one of his choicest articles of 1
faith. A baby recently arrived at the
Stroud home, and Fair wanted It
sprinkled. Stroud objected, and the
quarrel followed.
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- :

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. Cutlcura Soap Is the
best that I have ever used for tol!ot
purposes." (Signed) Mrs. F. E. Harmon,

Athletes Who Made Good.
Walter Barnes of Iloston, who keeps
a close watch on things athletic In
New England, says:
"Burr, Fish, Withlngton and Fisher,
the successive Harvard football cap

the scholar in athletics at Harvard.
Hamilton Fish's appointment as an in

BLACKMAILING MUST BE ART1
Amateur Makes Mistake Wien He ''
Seeks to Make Money in Such j
an Avocation.
Police Commissioner Waldo of New '
York was talking about blackmailers. 1
"They are, as a rule, stupid," lie
said. "Their threatening letters are '
as ludicrous in their stupidity as a , '
letter a friend of mine received the t
other day.
And Commissioner Waldo, with a
laugh, produced the letter. Written 1
in a large, boyish hand, it said:
"Deer sir?Your winder was broken
by a had bol wat throo it throo
four three pirpus. The hall beelonged (
two mee, but an eneme of mine 1
?neaked It and did the deed to put
the blame on mee. I am sorry he did
it, and that it have give you grate
pain, and I have persecuted the per- 1
peetrater wot done it. Hut you would f
not have thee Innocent sutler tor the

Not Sufficiently Eager.
A little miss of five years was under
the ban of disobedience. She iiad been
told to put away her playthings, as it
was near bed time. She did not obey
the comamnd and, when forced to do
so, gave way to a petulant display of
temper. Her father, who was upstairs,
heard the commotion and, being made
acquainted with the cause, summoned
the child to his presence. Irma started
to the stairs, but su denly mr.de a
turn, dashed along the hail and out of
the house. Of course she was soon
captured, but her excitement was so
great that she was put to bed at once.
Mother's effort soothed the child and
then she was asked: "Why did you
run away when your father called ;
you?" The reply came promptly I
j enough: "You don't suppose, mamma,
i that I wanted a whipping bad enough ,
to go upstairs after It?"
