TIE OLD MAN.
Its Significance as Applied to the Head OF
the Business House.

Its Significance as Applied to the Head OF
the Business House.
Were / the head of large concern
or the responsible executive officer of a
great corporation, whether my age were
81 or 70, l should want all of my en-
ployees or subordinates to call me 1.-THE
Old Man" Not, of course, to my face
or when they were addressing me, but
among themselves or when they spoke
of me to their friends.
"His Majesty" His Royal High
ness, " His Excellency" and the like
all indicate that the persons to whom
they are applied possess power, but in
this commercially democratic age and
country the one appellation of undisput-
ed autocracy is 1.-THE Old Man"
Applied to the head of a concern it
frequently indicates love, generally re-
spect and always.complete submission
to authority. 1t is as free from any sug-
gestion of age as is reverend. " 1t is
never given when there is question of
authority or a smoldering rebellion
against it.
When 1.-THE Old Man" says q thing,
that settles it; there are no questions to
be asked; there is no comment to be
made. When ''The Old Man" does some
thing, or fails to do something, there is
no criticism to be INDUCED in.
"The Old Man" is the one person
about the establishment who is absolute
ly his own master, whose coming in
and going out are unhampered, whose
encouraging word carries real weight,
and whose reprimand indicates real dan
ger, to whom "sir' is a right and not
a courtesy.
Long live 1.-THE Old Manp' And
when, through his half closed private
Office door, he hears the boys term him
thus kindly, let him congratulate him
self that loyalty is in his service and
that he has attained the acme of dignity.

THE CITIZEN.
CALLING THE STATIONS.
little Mistakes That Sometimes Occur II
Their Frequent Repetition.

Little Mistakes That Sometimes Occur In
Their Frequent Repetition.
Occasionally" said man, lone
hears a guard on the elevated road call
the next station back Instead of the one
ahead. Coming down on the Sixth ave
nue. road, for instance, he might, on
leaving Grand street, look in and say,
The next station is Bleecker street,
when he meant Franklin. Still, this Is
rarely done, not nearly so often as one
might think it would be, by men call
ing the stations over and over again all
day long. To be sure it might seem that
the names would be by frequent repeti-
ton so deeply craven on their memory
that there would be the less danger Of
calling them wrong, but what 1 sup
pose happens is this-that sometimes
the mind unconsciously switches over,
and the guard calls from the up list in
stead of the down, or vice versa.
Sometimes when a guard miscalls a
station he lets it go-perhaps he doesn {
think Of it himself. SonAimes he cor
rects in a mild tone Of voice, as though
the least said about it the better. Some
times he sets it straight clearly and un-
mistakably. l rode up town the other
day on a Sixth avenue Harlem train
with a guard who, as the train left For
ty-second street, looked in and said,
'Fiftieth next, Fifty-eighth street tran,
change there for Harlem. But the next
minute he looked in again and said,
with equal if not greater distinction and
deiberation, Fiftieth next, Harlem
train, change there for Fifty eighth
street.
Here was a case that was a little
different: A newsman who got off
Sixth avenue train with bundle of pa
pers at Fifty-third street handed a pa
per to the guard and asked him to give
it to the ticket chopper at One Hundred
and Thirty fifth street. The guard look
ed into the car as the train started and
said, Hundred and Thirty fifth street
next, but this was so far off that it
really needed no correction, and very
reasonably the guard let it go at that,
but he smiled as he closed the door. -

The Greatest of Rivers,

The Amazon is the king of streams.
From first to last it receives over 1, 200
tributaries, of which more than 100 are
large sized rivers and rise SO far apart
and have their floods and ebbs at such
different seasons that the Amazon is at
about the same height the year around.
At some points On its lower course one
bank is invisible from the other. The
beholder seems to be looking ON a great
yellow sea Of fresh water. When discov-
cred, some tribes Of Indians ON the low
er portion knew nothing of the existence
Of the opposite shore and did not believe
that it existed, saying that "the great
river flowed all around the world" Its
mouth, including that of the Para, is
$50 miles III width, and it is navigable
for large sized ocean steamers for l, 900
miles from the sea, and so vast is the
flood that the ocean is tinged yellow for
400 miles from the coast of Brazil st.

The diamonds i'll another symbol of his

There is also jeweled saber, valued at
