The Hartman interview referred to
was given out In New York yesterday
and In part is as follows;
Il think that we are running into an
era OF competition in railroad building,
just as we have had an era OF Competi-
tive buying. The Union Pacific is ready.
It is in the best position Of any OF them.
and the Union Pacific does not fear nor
does 1t care"
He added that the reported suits be-
tween the Union Pacific and the Chica-
go, Burlington & quincy Railroad COM
pany over a right -of-way in the North
Platte country were not an indication
OF an outbreak of hostilities between
the Hartman and the Hill interests.

new day is sure to bring. glorious new
day, fresh from its Makers hand. all golden
with possibilities, vet unscarred by our
shortcomings. o glorious new day, we
hail thee and rejoice that we are per-
n1itted to make our record cleaner and
fairer.
Let us think. too, of the goodness and
rot of the meanness of our fellow-men.
If We have rubbed up against cranky In
dividuals, If our lot is to be cast with those
who thwart and fret us, let us put over
and noble lives with which we also may
come in contact from day to day Be thank
full on waking that this old world still
holds SO many persons of this type. We
may not this day touch many of them, but
just to know that they are somewhere in
the world radiating constantly truth and
virtue ought to inspii'it US as we rub our
eyes, struggle into our clothes and face
again the old routine.
And our waking thoughts ought surely
to include some recognition of the Divine
protection and guidance that constantly
surround our lives. Phillips Brooks once
come back from Inconsistencies to the
world of action without sending their
thoughts upward to the source Of all life
and blessing. Some families still maintain
the beautiful custom, either at breakfast
table or elsewhere, of joining in some sim
pie act of worship In view of all the risks
and exposures to which every one is sub
ject every day of his life and in view of
the limitations of ones strength and wis
dom it seems only natural and right to
claim the care and leadership of power.
unseen but real that holds all humanity
in its grasp There Is a little prayer of
Robert Louis Stevenson's which suits itself
to the break Of day and which. If said
honestly by any one, is sure to make the
waking moments peaceful and happy.
THE day returns and brings us the petty
round of irritating concerns and duties.
Help us to play the man. Help US to per-
form them with laughing and kind faces.
Let cheerfulness abound with industry.
Give US to go blithely on our business all
this day Bring to our resting beds
weary and content and undiscovered. And
grant us in the end the gift of sleep"

1t is a curious and an important fact that
our Lord Jesus Christ gave charity the
final test and supreme proof of His mission
and divinity. by this shall all men know
that you are my disciples. If you have love
one for another" He had performed many
and most extraordinary miracles. He had
given hearing to the deaf, speech to the
dumb sight to the blind. He had COM
manded nature, and the wind and wave
obeyed Him. He had spoken the omnpo-
tent word, whose efficacy went down to the
home of death and brought the dead one
back to life again. Nay, by His innate d.
vinity He was to rise glorious and immor-
tai from the dead. He fulfilled the proph-
ecies of ages. and after Him the chapters
of prophecy closed-like the gates through

SUNDAY SCHOOLS
FOR CHINESE

One of the most quiet and unobtrusiyely
conducted mission works OF this city is
that among the Chinese. and, to judge from
the statement of those actively interested
in it, it is yielding quite profitable results.
The Outstanding OF the Cinnamon is a
work requiring the greatest patience and
perseverance. and the results often do not
manifest themselves until years have
passed. For this reason many have be-
come discouraged and given mp in despair
and yet, to the right persons. the mission
workers say the field is a very fruitful one

Calvary Baptist Church Of this city both

the successes of that day and asked His

In the prayer the Band of Gideon was

They Immediately went to work to carry
out their idea. They wrote a number Of
letters to men on the road, explaining the
matter and requesting them to attend a
meeting to be held at a given time and
place.
To these letters a number of replies were
received, but when the day of the meeting
arrived there were only three men pres
ent, our two friends and another man. Moth
ing discouraged they went to work and
formed an organization. Everybody was
satisfied, because everybody had an Office.
In fact, In order to make the offices go
around one man had to accept two.

for the organization came up these men
went to God in prayer. and.they fully be-

Louis H. Griffin national trustee of The
Band of Gideon is in the city making ar
rangements for the convention to be shortly
held in Buffalo, N. Y, by the organization
he represents The Gideons are a band of
Christian travelling statesmen who, while on
the road and at home, too, never miss an
opportunity to point persons to Christ. The
history of the organization is an interesting
one.
In 1899, in little town out in Wisconsin.
the last train pulled into the station and
among the passengers who jumped off there
was travelling salesman. He left the sta
ton and walked across the street to hotel
and asked the clerk for a room. He was
informed that the place was full and he
could not be accommodated 1t was the
only hotel In town and there were no more
trains out until morning. The salesman had
been the road all day and was tired and
sleepy and did not relish the idea of walk
ing around or sitting in chair until morn
ing.
He appealed to the clerk to find him some
place where he could lie down and sleep.
After studying awhile the clerk said:
There's only one chance for you. Do
you see that man sitting over there? He
has room with two beds in it. Perhaps,
if you ask him, he will double up with you"
Our friend jumped at the chance, went
over and told the man with the two-bed
room just how things were, and 1t was ar
ranged that they should sleep together.
The salesman went upstairs and got into
bed. short time after he was followed
by his roommate. After being in the room
a short time he got his grip and took some-
thing out of it. The salesman, although in
bed. was not asleep, and he was anxious
to see what his companion had taken from
his grip, he watched him closely. He could

to make out just what it was he finally

SUNDAY MORNING TALK.
The First Thoughts on Waking.

AAc EITSC Thoughts ON w ak1QK.
A father of my acquaintance makes it a
point to be at the bedside of his little
three-year-old boy as soon as he wakes
every morning. and in the fathers absence
the mother goes there. The idea Is that
the touch of the parents love and interest
upon the child 1t comes back to con-
seriousness after sleep is far better than
that Of a hired servant and is likely to
prove of great and permanent worth In the
child's development.
Back of this interest of fatherly fore
thought is the fundamental principle that it
is important for any one to start the day In
the right mood. Who of us older people
does not feel the need of come such sweet
ening and steadying influence at the outset
Of each new day? Too often the cares Of
yesterday come trooping back as we slowly
emerge from dreamland, and If some vexing
problem must be dealt with during the next
twenty-four hours how quickly that comes
before us also. If we could only secure
before the plunge into the whirlpool of ac-
tivities, just few minutes of happy, inspir-
ing thoughts, what difference it would
make in the entire day!
Our parents cannot long secure this desir-
able mood for u.s. but our own wills, IL res
olute enough, can do much to induce 1t.
Determine first of all that your waking

tunities. The former have passed Into his
