70 sueceed in any indnstry, a man
should be solemn and disag1eeabse9
Especially does this rulk apply to those
whose aspirations or sudden wealth
have carried them into the profession
OF lconducting railroad trains. The
genial man never succeeds in any
thing, and the genial conductor is
doomed. to a life of disappsintmens
and penary.ss i 1.te54ass4aa ias5ssI
The conductor should first assume
that the road is run for his sole be-
hoof. Inaerno circumstances should

Hesitating conductors have been sasls-

On q local train the conductor
should devote his attention to the
school girls. As general rule. this
class of traveller. can't find anybody
willing to airt with them, and. there
fore, they are more or less dependent
on the conductor. To certain ex-
tent the roads depend on the school
girl custom for subsistence, and,
therefore, it is to the interest Of the
road to have men who see that the
line is made attractive to this impor-
tant branch Of the community.
The proper place for the conductor
is in the bagge-car, for there be can
smoke and sleep unmolested by in
quiring minds who want to know,
you know. From that vantage ground,
also, he can see the engineer jump, in
the event of an accident, and under
stand what it 10 best 10 do in order
that heimay get out speedily and as-
sure the press that nothing has oc-
cured, and that the people in the
burning cars didn't travel on that
train. The killing Of conductor
puts road IN hole. The impulse
is to advertise the line by giving him
'a send-offs but that is an admission
that there was an accident, and, there
fore, the conductor should take. care
of himself, rather than subject his
employers to any such Inconvenience.
1t is well for the conductor to have
favorites among his regular passen-
gers. These should be selected with
discrimination from among the smok-
ling and fiask-carrying traveller. Fa.
miliarity with them pays. for they
will applaud anything the conductor
does, and feed him from their stors
whenever he has added to their i'm
portance by cutting some man wht
has the merit of only regarding
functionary as a public servant.
