NOW ! LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP,

NOW 1 LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP.
Eugene Fields love OF children Is
nowhere better sensed than in his
beautiful lines, Now Lay Me Down
to Sleep" 1t was John Randolph who
said, II have never been able to shake
off the influence of little prayer my
mother taught me at her knee" Who
has?
1 The fire upon the hearth is low.
And there is stiffness everywhere,
While winged spirits here and there.
The freight shadows muttering go,
And as the shadows round me creep,
IA childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from the further room
Comes. Now lay me down 10
sleep"
And somehow with that little prayer.
And that sweet treble in my ears.
i My thoughts go back to distant years,
And linger with the loved ones there;
And as I hear my child's Amen"
My mothers faith comes back to me.
Crouched at her side I seem to be.
Anu 'mOtAer NOUS Aiy AaAu oSoiu.
oh, for an hour in that dear place!
or, for the peace of that dear time!
oh, for the childish trust sublime!
( oh, for a glimpse of mothers face!
Yet, as the shadows round me creep,
/ do not seem to be alone
Magic sweet, of that treble tone,
And Nov lay me down to sleep"
Eugene Field.

Eight years ago I said it would re-
quire $500, 100000, or s1.10O, 000, 600
year for five years. to make our
railroad facilities equal to the de-
mands upon them. The figures are
staggering, but time has confirmed
them and enhanced the dificulty of
securing such investment

When traffic is blocked and the
railroad yards of the principal cities
are filled with cars that cannot be
moved, the railroad suffers the loss of
a portion of its earnings; but tn )
business men loses larger share OF
his trade, and the workingman his
employment No Industry can do more
;,ian protract a starved existence
when the currents Of transportation
caase moving freely.
Whenever we have big crop or a
gen sra1 revival Of business, the coun-
try hears most of the danger of a car
shortage. The public assumes that II
enough cars are provid ed they can be
moved on schedule time from point of
origin to destination, wherever these
may be. This is not the real trouble.
What is really needed is the greater
movement OF cars.
The average movement of freight
car is about twenty-four miles. or two
hours per day. Delays in loading and
unloading by shippers are partly re-
sponsible, but much of the lost time is

his failures were less due to chance

the organization stood facing actual
peril; and it's one possible chance Of
salvation lay in the fact that no ones
face was known to his neighbor. He,
Vroon, and the boss alone knew who
and what each man was. But the
plans, the ramifications of the organ
ization might become public property;
and that would mean an end to an
exceedingly profitable business.
The daughter of Hargreave rode

sought the country road. She was in
