A Valuable Accession

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad has just made an important ad.
dition to its extensive system of roads,
one that will enable it to compete with
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad
on business from the Indian Territory
and southern Kansas From private
advices received here yesterday from
Boston, it appears that negotiations
have just been successfully concluded
between the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe and the Kansas City, Lawrence &
Southern formerly the Lawrence Leav-
enworth 4 Gulf by which the former
is to take possession at once of the latter
road. The Santa Fe company issues
Its five per cent. bonds for all the stock
of the Kansas City, Lawrence & South
ern, which it accepts at 95.
The object of the Santa Fe company in
securing this property was, no doubt,
for the purpose of securing line that
will be able to compete with the Missou-
ri, Kansas & Texas, which is controlled
by Jay Gould. It is the Intention of
the Sante Fe people to extend the line
as soon as possible through the Indian
Territory to connection with the Tex
as roads, Chicago Tribune.

n znan teaches when he least seems to
BE- teachisg. AL that man does and
Ithinksgoes to make up his character,
land . man's character impresses ITSELF
Fapon al with whom he comes in con-
Ftact. If his life has been filled with
good deeds and thoughts, Z certain good
influence will flow from him and exert
|itsef upon al with whon he deals, even
upon those who know nothing of his
former life. On the contrary, if he has
been bad man, has committed crimes
or INDUCED to great extent in wick
ed thoughts, : bad influence will ema-
nate from him, and influence all upon
whom it falls.
We all are to some extent, character
readers. We read persons by their
names, By their conversation, and by
their leoks. Small children, even, are
good readers of character, although they
csnsot tell you by what rule they Judge.
We take liking or q disliking to .
pessoa, and we cannot tell why.
81 do not love you, DR.. Fell.
The reason why cannot tell,
But this alone know full we'll,
do not love you, DR.. Fell,
But this much is true, q good man
will be generslly liked by everybody,
that is, they will like him personally,
though they may hate his actions, or his
principles, because not in accordance
with his own notions; and hypocrite
will be generally despised however we'll
he may play his part.
Every thought and action from infan.
cy to manhood, has bearing more or
less direct on your work as teacher.
In other words, the teacher commences
to develop in influence and constantly
adds to his character that which make
him either 8. good teacher or an inferior
one.
Remember then, teacher, that you are
always teaching when in contact with
others. The teacher should be in every
man. Strive to cultivate that true
manhood. Keep a watch upon your
thoughts and actions, and daily and
hourly build character that will con.
stantly teach the good, and the good
only.
But there are some men that are not
very good nor very bad, sort of wooden
men, mere aatomatons or puppets, who
can tell what they have learned, as q |
parrot says its phrase or an inferior
stage-actor his piece. You often find
them in the school room. Such men
have 80 little character Chat they do but |
very little unconscious teaching.
Their presence teaches but little be. |
cause they have so little character to |
exert an influence. For all the good |
their presence does the knowledge
might % well be sent into the school |
room through telephone.
Again there are men whose very
locks and manners teach lessons. You
feel their magnetic force when you
take them by the hand, and gather
inspiration from their eyes. The suc>
cessful teacher as we'll as the men who
move the world, belong to this class. |
