A suNsHlN CONDUCTOR.

We all know that most conductors,
Notwithstanding their trials and ag-
gravations, are gentlemen, but it is
not often we see one full Of sunshine
when his car is full of passengers and
his time limited, so 1t is not surpris-
ing that "A Traveller" upon discov-
ering such one on the Shore line
road found 1t necessary to tell the
reading public about him through the
columns of the Providence Journal
This is what he had to say:
Most of the New Haven trainmen
are polite enough, but you do not al
ways encounter an employee who seems
glad to help you in your quest for in
formation. More than once / have
gone without. rather than run the
risk of an over crisp reply.
"Of course there is another side;
some passengers are simply querulous,
others ask fool questions, and some,
suppose, are fresh but it Goes seem
as if conductors and trainmen could
adopt a certain stereotyped form Of
courtesy, If nothing better, so that no
intelligent and reasonable passenger
need be deferred from putting a nee
essary query.
There comes to mind another con-
ductor who is at once dignified, eff
cient and approachable. Nobody ia
miliar with his methods would ever
think of abusing his kindness by ask
ing him lot of questions, especially
when he was obviously busy, and yet
could under any conditions.
THE other day I saw him jump
from his train at a station, and run
to where train bound in the oppo-
site direction was standing, to hold it
for lady on board Of his train who
would be seriously disconnected if she
did not make the connection The re-
suit was that, by putting himself out
a little she was saved a delay OF sew
eral hours and long and expensive
cross-country ride. I said to him,
That was a mighty nice thing for
you TO do Tt was worth while he
quietly replied, it saved the lady
good deal of trouble
After all, the true test of efficiency
comes pretty near to being this: Is
the employee anxious to do his best, or
is he thinking only of his pay enve-
lope, and the unkind fate that has not
placed him in a higher position?"
These conductors deserve good
words, of which they receive too few.
The men who are up against the pub
lie every hour come pretty near know
ing what & crown OF thorns is, and
10 be polite and ohliging and sunshiny
through it all requires fine personal
control by which is implied every 9TH
err good quality. May their class in
crease and their reward be certain.

Peculiar Pheromena.

when DIR. Cook spoke of the sun
swinging across the heavens he wished
to impress on his readers one of the
most peculiar phenomena Of the Polar
regions. At point far north the sur
is not blotted from the sight as the
earth rotates. For twelve hours II
seems to pass from east to west, as II
does here, but at the moment when the
sun should set 1t appears to move
back from the west to the east, this
appearance being caused by the fact
that the spectators on the rotating
earth is moving in an oppose direc-
ton. The same effect would be pro-
duced in this latitude were 1t not that
the earth gets between us and the sun
and blots it out. In other words, IN
the Polar regions the sun has a motion
similar to that of a pendulum, swing
ing back and forth. This phenomenon
ceases when the spectator is at the
Pole itself. and could have been used
by the explorer TO determine the fact
that he was at the Pole.-Charleston
News and Courier.

Satisfied Visitors Curiosity.

Edward H. Box, publisher, is moi
infrequently the subject of a merry
Jest, and it is not impossible that
Mr.. Box is acquainted with this fact
But he continues to smile blandly and
continue the even tenor OF his way.
A few weeks ago Frank n. Double
day was calling upon Mr.. Box in his
office and was enjoying a pleasant lit
tie chat with him. Mr.. Doubleday OBJ
served above Mr.. Bok's desk a double
row Of electric annunciators-twenty
in all.
What are those for?" Mr.. Double
day asked
"At the end of each wire is pretty
girl" Mr.. Box replied with smile
Mr.. Doubleday arose hastily and
pressed both hands fat against the
entire set OF electric buttons, ringing
every one of them firmly.
There was an instant response from
various parts of the building, and
twenty neat, alert and charming maid
ems trooped into the private office.
Without a CULVER of hesitation Mr.
Box made a crisp business request OF
each as she arrived. AS she received
her commission she departed grace
fully and without suspicion that she
had been called as an exhibition.
Then Mr.. Box peacefully winked the
other eye at Mr.. Doubleday.

THE ICEMAN

The iceman sadly lifted the piece in
to the refrigerator and gently laid it
down.

BEHAVIOR.

a great deal may be judged by be-
RBvior. and in the controversy over
fhe rmevits of the discoveries OF the
M@ceh pole it will count for much in
0&ecting public opinion.
The fact is now patent that Com
mander Peary knew that Dr. Cook
claimed that he had reached the pole
before he communicated with civiliza-
ton, for he says he talked with the
Eskimos, and they told him DIR. Cook
had not been far from land, and, in
view Of this knowledge and the free
dom with which he brands DIR. Cook
an impostor, it is apparent enough
that if the averments credited to the
commander are really his, he was ter
ribly excited and somewhat ratified BY
the news. From the forewords il
looks as IL Commander Peary had
concluded to GUST DIR. Cook at once
and without the formality of q hear
ing, for he telegraphed to every civ
iliZed country that he was the discov-
erer cf the pole, and that DIR. Cook
had not been there
Where these men have been or
whether they are truthful or not does
not depend upon what brace of Es-
limos say, or what they themselves
may screech with all their lung pow
er. They each have the record of their
movements and the data collected
from day to day and these will give
significance to their claims.
Commander Peary should be more
careful Of his claims-he couldn't
nail the flag to a geographical North
pole or bring the pole home with him.
The Eskimes are not his, any more
than any guide is the property Of the
guided. Guides are free in civiliza-
tion and beyond it to lead any one
able and adventurous enough to en-
ploy them. While Commander Peary
is preparing for a war of words, DIR.
Cook Is conducting himself in the
most dighifed way. He appears to be
conscious that the honor he claims
cannot be wrested from him. We
hope that he will have the perfect
self-control which his conduct thus
far betokens.
II DR.. Cook is an inpostor the world
will find 1t out without a scandalous
brawl, but 1t cannot find IL out by ly-
ing about him and declining to give
him the consideration and scientific
hearing which he has a right to de-
mand.

PREPARING TO RECEIVE THE
PRESIDENT.

The great western circuit the presi-
dent has mapped out for himself to
travel in the next two months is
awake to the future promise and is
getting its ears ready to hear what the
president has 10 say not only to the
American public, but to soothe the
disgruntled factions in the far west
and in this journey Of 1900 miles
a great many pertinent and imperti-
nent questions may be asked of Mr..
Taft. Here is what Wisconsin paper
is hoping to find out:
What does the president think
about Mr.. Ballingef as compared to
Mr.. Pinchot; what is the percentage
of the late revision downward; what
are the advantages Of policy OF CO.
operation with Mr.. Aldrich and Mr..
Cannon; what has been done for labor
by the secretary of commerce. and
labor; what was the reason for re-
opening the doped whiskey contest;
what are the chances for the conser-
walton policies; what has been done by
Mr.. Wickereham with the cases
against the beef trust; what was the
reason for abandoning the case against
the New England railway consolida
ton; what are the chances for q GRIM
inal trust prosecution; what is being
done to check the water power trust;
what Wall street thinks of the cabi-
net; what the president thinks of con-
gress; what is the prospect for a new
progressive party; what is the date Of
Roosevelt's return; what-when that
return takes place-he will say to
Roosevelt, and what Roosevelt will say
to him"
These things are not just what Pres
ident Taft is expecting to talk about,
but with his genius and aptitude for
meeting all kinds of inquiries there is
no reason to doubt his ability to just
delight his hearers upon any one or
all Of these themes. He is no dodger

PREACHING TO THE AuroIsrs.


There are two things the autoists
do not like to submit to-preachine
and being fined. They have their trials
and their remedies and their com
plants just like every other class
There are q great variety of motor
drivers and their experience is doubt
less colored very much by their de-
meanor. Complaints are made that
the farmers do not turn out for them,
and that they often misdirect them,
sending them miles out of their way.
An exchange discoursing along these
lines to tine auto complainants says:
ITO one who can display modicum
of courtesy rural folk were just as
friendly as they ever were. For the
hostile attitude the motorists meet
with they have themselves to blame.
I'm the days before the automobile
there was an etiquette of the road. 1t
certairty exists yet among horsemen,
II was not sportsmanship to attempt
to force your dust upon others who
were driving. A pedestrian obtained
some consideration He was not made
to leap to escape flying wheels, com
PEELED to swallow clouds of dust, and
held in the light of butt for every
body's practical joking. To run down
chickens and pigs was the last thing
a horseman ever thought Of And to
sneer at the farmer, to consider his
orchard public property and his rights
to part of the road unworthy of
thought were unforgivable inpropri-
cites. With the coming Of the auto
mobiles these unwritten courtesies
have largely gone by the board"
There II liz in a nutshell. To the
gentle and humane. the sweet spirited
and polite. country people are just as
respectful and true as ever, but to
the conceited lunkheads, lubbers,
hrutes and incompetents. ii is sassy,
by gosh. and it's bound to be.
