Mr.. Knowles replied that the cout had

Result Of a Bad Impression.

Several years ago a father
was visiting his son in an eas
tern college. In the evening
four students dropped into
the room where father and
son were staying, and one of
the boys confessed with some
embarrassment that he had
skipped" a recitation that
morning.
IL wouldn't let a little
thing like that bother me-"
exclaimed a certain student
whom We will call John.
The father of Johns friend
looked at John sharply, and
took a mental estimate ofhis
character on the basis Of that
mark. The father happened
to be an official of a large
railway corporation. Some
years later, in the course of
events, John was a candidate
for a desirable position with
that railway. and was in a
fair way to gain it. He had
made n good record af t e r
leaving college as a young
railway man, his !recommen-
dation for the position in
question was high, and he
seemed in every way qualifi-
ed. The decision rested with
the father OF his irleno.
That gentleman told his
fellow directors that he could
not consistently give t h e
young man the place, as he
had once heard him make a
remark indicating nntrust-
worthiness. jain failed to se
cure the position and all be
cause of a remark he made in
thoughlessness.
1t does aot hep the matter
to cry unfairness, injustice.
He alone was responsible iol
the impression he had given.
