ro Make Complaints Duty.

The Railroad Gazette cites Incl.
dents to show the opposite results
of complaining generally about an
abuse, but refusing to make specific
complaint at headquarters, and Of
making reports to headquar-
tiers. The Incidents are such as may
have come to the notice of any one
who travels much on railroad trains.
The argument is all in favor of max
ing complaint and helping to inn
prove the service.
The average American, though how.
ever angry he. may get over impo.
sition or insult by the employe of a
railroad company, is 10th to take any
action which may cost that .employe
his job, and, after the first burst Of
wrath, lets the matter slip--to the
hurt of the service and the inevitable
repetition Of the offense at the expense
OF some one /9lse. Some complaints
are entered at headquarters, it is
true, but no one will contend that
such is the case as often as it should
be. The Railroad Gazette unques-
tfonably takes the right attitude in
the matter, but it cannot hope to make
many patrons of the railroad agents
for the cultivation OF courtesy among
employees. Buffalo Express.

THE GARGOIL.

The Gargoil often makes its perch
On a cathedral or church,
Where, mid ecclesiastic style,
He smiles an early-Gothic smile.
And while the parson, dignifed,
Spouts at his weary flock inside,
The Gargoil, from his lofty seat,
Spouts at the people in the street,
And, like the parson, seems to say
To those beneath him, LET us spray
] like the Gargoil best; he plays
So cheerfully en- rainy days,
While parsons Ono one can deny
Are awful hampers when they're dry
