THE NEW MANAGER.
why He Did Not Discharge n Certain
Railroad Conductor.

Among the first railroads built in the
United States was a little line about
twenty miles In length. In the course
OF time a big tunnel line was construct

inal line became merely a branch. For
many years II was run in a cheap way,
with one locomotive, one engineer and
two or three freight cars.
Finally a new general manager was
appointed. He had been in the office
but week when he sent for the one
lone conductor who had held the posi-
tlon ever since the road was built.

Emerson said that 'in q letter any
expressions may be abbreviated rather
than those OF respect and kindness.
Never write Yours aff'ly.'" But, be
1t said with all respect, this smacks Of
pedantry. The close of letter Is mere
formula and Is precisely that part
which in writing to friend may with
out risk of misunderstanding be cut
short or dispensed with. But no haste
or degree of familiarity excuses care
less expressions in the letter itself.
Written words stand by themselves.
The tone of the voice and the glance
OF the eye. which often convey more
than half the meaning, are not there
as footnotes. Many and many an un-
intentional sting has been planted by
clumsy phrase or halting expression.
The same principle holds good In con-
