West to Look After Recent
Actions of the Railroads.

Chicago, Sept "A special to the Rec
ord-Herald from Washington says: Inter
state Commerce Commissioner Franklin
X Lane will leave Washington tomorrow
for a protraeted tour OF the west, which
is likely TO bear very important results
In addition to looking into the matter of
how thoroughly certain big railroad sys-
TENS have beeen living up to the anti
rebate provisions of the rate law, Mr.
Lane will devote particular attention to
the car shortage situation with a view to
preventing a recurrence of the deplorable
conditions that existed last, winter. The
commissioner undoubtedly will use his in
fluence to have the carriers meet the de-
mands Of the western country and prevent
If possible agitation to force more dras-
tic legislation than already has been en-
acted.
Due in Chicago Today.
Mr. Lane will reach Chicago Wednes-
day afternoon and will spend Thursday IN
the latter city discussing conditions with
general officers of some of the lines cen
tering there.
He will then go to St Paul for a con-
ference with, officers of the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern roads, intending
to talk personally with James J. Hill if
the latter be at home. From st. Paul he
will go to Spokane, Seattle and Portland,
thence down the Pacific coast, looking mi
nutely into affairs embracing the Harri-
man lines, the Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific. The whole trip will consume
five or six weeks, the car shortage stu
alton affecting cotton and lumber in the
south being looked into on the return
journey

Aqed Three, Reads Shakespeare.

At the age of three years and three
months Charles Ross Buchanan, son Of
a farmer at st. Francisville, reads
books that the majority Of children do
not read until they are ten years older.
He has excited the notice OF educators.
Asked what kind Of reading he liked
best he replied:
Il have just finished reading Shake
speare's AS You Like It. but I like
Charles Dickens much better"
His mother, who was a schOolteacher
at vincennes. Ind, says Charles spends
about four hours each day in reading
to her. He has never been to school
and seldom plays with other children.
Ever since he was able to talk he
has possessed a craving for learning
that has not only puzzled but at times
has worried his father and me-" said
Mrs. Buchanan. "When reading the
newspapers he must have details Of all
the worlds happenings and often asks
questions. He never has to be told a
second time.
Charles spoke his first words when
he was six months old and four months
later could talk fuently. He knew his
alphabet even before he could talk
nly."--Chicago Times-Herald.

.hings unless you at the same time go
forward in triumphant faith, planning
to work out your prayers, expecting
God to answer your petitions in due
time.
He Got the Funds.
"The great trouble with some peO-
pie" said famous speaker l once
heard lis this: They ask God for
pertain blessing; they declare that they
make their petitions in good faith; then
after they arise from their knees they
never expect God to answer their
prayers. Now, when ! was in the army

certain amount to meet necessary ex-
penses. So I wrote home to my father
and told him my needs. I told him
what I wanted. knew he would send
me that money. because what l wanted
was right TO have, and my father was
financially able to meet my wants. So
I wrote to my father to send my mon
ey to a certain postofflce as l expected
TO be there in about three weeks Up
on the faith which had in my father
1 went dnEuA anu 1AANliAANA my ANNNasA
ties. and when I arrived at the post
office I got my money as I expected.
Now, that Is the way we should honor
God. We should believe in him. We
should ask big things Of him. And
then we should go forth in simple
faith. expecting that he will answer
our prayers" No man ever spoke truer
words than these.
The more I pondered upon this part
Of my subject the more ! remembered
that the greatest workers for Jesus
Christ have been men who had no
financial capital save their faith. They
lived in one sense up to the last cent Of
their income They prayed for big
things. and then having deliberately
and calmly made up their minds that
God wanted them to undertake big
things. they went ahead and built their
hospitals and started their refOrmatory
movements, and their money came
when it was needed, as the mama OF
the wilderness came day by day to
feed the Israelltes when they were on
their way to the Promised Land. Some
time ago there came lHtO my poSses-
sion a book with this suggestive title,
Tales OF Trust" 1t is written In the
anecdotal style There page after page
is filed with the answers men have re-
ceived to their prayers. As l turned
these leaves over said to myself: IF
all these stories are true, how negli-
gent have l and other men been OF this
mighty poweri One fact knOw-if all
the answers that God has sent to pray
er had been written down, If only the
instances in which God came to the
financial help Of those who were doing
big things for him because they had
asked of him big things, l suppose that
even the world itself could not contain
the books that would be written"

Amplify your prayers. Make them
big enough to take in the necessities
of the whole human race. But do more
than that. After you have prayed thus
20 forth with the confidence that God
will answer your prayers upon big
scale. The trouble with a great many
Of us is that we pray big and then
plan small. We lay out our designs
for a st. Peters or Milan or a Sc
vile cathedral. Then we materialize
our designs into mortar and brick by
building a little meeting house or a
village church or a TOOhess barn or a
hencoOp.
One of the small cities Of England
wished to build a large cathedral. The
citizens came to a famous London
architect and asked him to design one
which would cost S1,0O0,000, After the
elaborate design had been completed
the committee came back and asked
the architect if he would cut down his
design and build instead a church
worth $4,000. With that the sarcas-
tic architect said, Gentlemen, cannot
you make it 80 shillings more so we
can throw in a fine spire" Thus some
OF US in our prayers have been petit
tioning God for st. Peters cathedral.
We have laid out our prayers upon the
most elaborate scale. We have asked
for the conversion Of the world. We
have pleaded for the emancipation Of
the human race from the tyranny of
sin. We have asked for everything
we ought to have asked for. But
when it comes to filling up the water
pots to the brim we say: "What is the
use? If we can get God to answer
our prayers a thimbleful, that is all we
have a right to expect" We ask for
fine cathedral; then we are satisfied to
plan for a village meeting house or
little mud hut. Now, my friends, you
have no right to ask God for big

have a faith brimful enough to believe
that God can as readily answer our
prayers today, this hour, IL we will on
ly ask him, as he can answer them
next month or next year or In the dim
future after we are dead. Those serv-
ants who filed the water pots did not
suppose that Jesus was going to turn
that water into wine by slow fermen-
tatiOn, so that it could be bottled and
stored away In the cellars. What they
wanted was wine at once. Thus, as
God can answer the prayers Of his
people at once If he will, can there be
any better time for US to ask for an in
crease in our faith than just now?
Have you the kind Of faith which
have been describing? DO you ask
big things from God? After you ask
big things, are you willing to go for

Faith In Men.

Faith In Men.
But not in prayer alone is a brimful
gospel faith necessary. We must have
faith in the men and the women by
whom we are surrounded If we would
accomplish great things for his honor
and glory. We must believe that God
can enter into the hearts of our friends
and recreate them into mighty spir-
itual forces for good as he can enter
into our lives and make US mighty
spiritual agencies. Paul writes in one
of his epistles, Il can do all things
through Christ. who strengtheneth me-"
Paul had a right to say that. have
a right to say that about myself And
l also have a right to say that about
every man, woman and child with
whom l come in contact in daily life.
Now, there is no human power which
will more quickly make a man a use
full servant of Jesus Christ than the
divine faith which we have in our
brothers and sisters that through God
they can do all things.
But the great trouble with our at
TEMPT to reclaim men is this: When
men and women start to do wrong,
when they begin to wander down into
the paths of sin, the world loses faith
in these sinners. When these sinners
try to come back to the straight paths
of purity and truth the world fights
them back and turns toward them the
cold shoulder Of Indifference and doubt.
And after the world loses faith in a
man. then the time is not far distant
when that man will lose faith in him
self. and then-GOd pity him! For
with a jump, he will leap over the
precipice Of despair. Oh, faith, thou
mighty faith, thou faith by which Abel
sacrificed and EnOch walked and Abra-
ham went forth into an unknown land
to find an inheritance for his children;
oh, faith thou mighty faith, by which
Joseph ruled and Moses led the chill
dren Of Israel forth from their Egyp-
tian bondage and with which Joshua
rocked down the Jericho walls; oh,
faith, thou mighty faith, with which
Peter and James and Mary Magdalene
bended the knee to worship Christ;
oh, faith. thou mighty, divine faith,
shall we not lay hold of thee and
through the power of the Holy Spirit
save our fallen fellow men for God?
Mothers Are Faithful.
Did I say that all the world would
lost its faith in a man after man has
sinned seven times severn Yes, 1 said
that. but l must make one exception.
There is always one human being who
will never lose faith in US when we
have done wrong, and that is our
mother. That is the reason why the
Christian mothers love is the most
potent of all loves for the salvation of
a sinner. The mothers faith will not
give her children up, and that is the
reason why they win so many Of their
wayward children for Christ The
warden Of one of our prominent state
penitentiaries a few years ago was
asked If the prisoners friends, as a
rule continued to visit them. "No,"
was the reply; "they are usually men
who have been a scourge and disgrace
to their families. 1t is a relief to be rid
of them. Their friends, their wives
and even their children make one or
two perfunctory visits at first and then
give them up. In the course of a year
or two they are forgotten by ALL as If

where he is to get the munitions for

The object of the new crusade will
be the conversion Of the people to the
doctrines of municipal and state own

will be schooled. A call will be sent
