Green and Polite.

Frank Ryan. railroad commissioner is telling a new railroad yarn He week, and usually brings back a good story.
 He tells that one morning he was or a little Central Kansas branch line Ii when the mercury hung close to zero The train started and the conductor was taking up the tickets in the lone passenger car. Directly he heard 6 knock at the back door. He paid no attention to it, and the knock was re- peated. not noisily. but unmistakably.
 He looked up and through the glass door saw young man about l9 years old. standing out in the vestibule. The youngster knocked again.
 Whats the gamer" asked the con- ductor to a passenger. The latter couldn't enlfghten him.
 T guess I'll sec" said the conduct or. and going to the back end of the car he opened the door.
 Well" said the 'con.'
 Good morning" said the young man. very politely, and took off his cap.
 Good morning" said the conductor.
 May I Come in, siI-?' asked the lad, smiling pleasantly. and still very po- lite.
 The conductor pretty nearly tainted, and the brakeman. who stood near him, was on the point of collapse.
 '1 have a ticket, sir" said the young man, in even more polite tones, and I wanted to know if I can come into the car?"
 The brakeman was the first to re- cover He walked toward the young man, took him by the hand. shook it a Ia Newport, and with as much grace and ceremony as a grand opera leader escorting miIlion-dollar songbird to the footiights, led the young man into the car. The latter f1dgeted his cap, and then asked in the most polite tones: May have a seat?"
 The brakeman, hardy of nature. wob- bled under the second shock. but cane to before the conductor. and gallantly taking the youth by the arm, set him down on the cieauest looking seat, and lowing like a Chesterfield, answered, ''The whole car. sir. is yours.
 And ths conductor, who had come ''to,v waltzed in with: 'I'fn mighty sorry, young man. that have to take your ticket only do it because the rules compel me to. If had my way about it your money wouldn't be any good on this train"
 And Ryan insists that the boy took the whole thing seriously He kept up that fine six-inch vein of politeness to the end of his journey.-Kansas City Journal

HIS DEATH SENTENCE.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
He sat in a telephone booth.

He sat In a telephone booth.
The man was weary and worn and
heartsick. and he was calling up his
wife to tell her some bad news
A few months previously he had
failed in his business and had accept
ed place as bookkeeper. Now his
little daughter was sick. Worry over
her condition had prevented concentra-
ton on his books, and he had just been
discharged.
1t was about this last stroke of Ill
fortune he told hts wife over the
phone.
He told her OF the loss OF the Job and
how be was full OF despair over the
wife made answer:
Don't come home until you get q
job"
The poor fellow left the booth In q
daze- He had asked for sympathy and
got a rebuke He craved advice and
got harsh mandate. He was on the
verge Of desperation. and the stern
message pushed him over the precipice.
He did not go home; he shot himself,
coward in the battle OF life? But
was he? Did he take the final plunge
in his right mind? Poignant suffering
had made a mental crisis. One word
OF hope and sympathy might have
tided him over
The story haunts the memory
And there is pity for the poor fellow
who got his knockout blow from one
he loved. But the wife Is to be pitied
most
She never will be able to forget that
she sent him to his death; that it was
her voice that pronounced his fatal
sentence; that it was her GOODNESS and
thoughtless impulse of anger that slew
him.
She will always remember how she
put all the blame on the shoulders Of
the poor husband: how she, his last
and only haven of hope. refused him
refuge. and. with no pity in her heart,
how she denied his yearning plea for
sympathy
The recollection of that message Will
always be her sorrow's crown of sor-
row.
Suppose she had said:
Come home. dear, and let US talk It
over Surely there is some way out
Whatever happens, we will face it to-
gether- Keep up your courage"
If she only had!
Men and women: Souls about you
are in extremis Balanced between
hope and despair. word of cheer may
save. word of harshness may send
them to the depths
Humanity is a strange blend Of
strength and weakness. Under awful
strain strong man may be as veal
as little child and a single blow may
send him dizzy to his end
Oh, there is more than one way to
kill a mortali
