that Bryan is in favor of publicity Of

A Story With a Moral

The following from the Lakeland
News is commended to every man,
woman and child in Ttusville, espec-
tally those holding official position or
engaged in business. 1t shows how
strangers Judge town by the people
they first come in contact with:
"A short time ago the writer pass
ed through a town in another state,
stopping over for only two or three
hours in order to make connection
with an outgoing train. 1t was mid
night when the train which bore us
to the city arrived, two or three
hours late, and everybody was tired,
cross and dispirited. Schedules
were disarranged on account of high
water and people were anxious and
uncertain about reaching their des-
tination. So like all people do in
such cases, they began to ply the sta
ton agent with questions.
They lined up before his window,
some timid, some arrogant, some
merely idly inquisitive, some male
violent. All expected the short snap
by answers usual under such circum-
stances. One by one they came away
to make room for an impatient sue
cessor, and every face as it was turn
ed from the window wore an express
sion more cheerful, more kindly, less
tired and anxious.
For this railroad man was one
among thousand of his kind.
Quietly, distinctly, pleasantly and
explicitly he gave the information
asked for or politely expressed regret
at his inability to do so. His I'M
varying good humor and even tenn
pered manner was restful to the
wearied travellers and soothed the
tense nerves like music.
Then, there was the lunch cOun-
ter man. A man with a cross and
sleepy baby found there was nothing
to drink from at the water cooler, so
he asked the loan of a glass. 1t was
Forthcoming, with a kindly and SYM
pathetic word. But then there was
no water, and the man brought back
the glass. The lunch counter keeper
apologized as if he were responsible
for the sins of the railroad company
and, leaving his customers, waited
ON these unrenumerative patrons as
pleasantly as if he had no other con-
Germ in life.
These were little things. But as
the tired travellers boarded the south
bound express, which Numbered in
about dawn, one Of them was heard
to say:
