COURTESY IS AN ASSET.
Gilbert Hubbard Tells of Passengers
Experience on Train.

Experience OH Train.
Elbert Hubbard has a piece in his
current PhiIistine about Courtesy as
an Asset The article was inspired
by an incident on a train. when the
conductor took up my ticket, he
thanked me-" Mr.. Hubbard said: His
manner toward me was not different
from that toward the old woman
across the aisle who asked him what
time it was and, on being told, asked
if his watch was right. Good man
ners spring naturally from the kindly
heart A good railroad man is proud
of his business, and his desire to as
sist and benefit is a genuine, positive
quality"
Continuing, Mr.. Hubberd says: "a
GOOD railroad man will never guy pas
sengers: give short or f1ippant answers
to questions; nor will he laugh at the
mistakes of the rustic and the rube.
He will look especially after the COM
fort of elderly people, country folks
and women travelling alone or with
children. He will answer the needless
questions of all these in such manner
as to make them feel at ease: and in
various ways, which right intent die
tates he will supply an air of courtesy
which is contagious. No doubt. pas
sengers are often very trying, but it
is the business of a good railroad man
to meet discourtesy with unfailing
patience. II the man you are dealing
impudent, do not initiate him.
Everybody is really decent in spots;
and [ have seen the gentle answer
completely disarm a crouch who was
bent on chewing the red rag of wordy
warfare. Yes, courtesy is catching. A
good railroad man can make whole
coach of passengers feel good.
"Of course it is not railroad men
alone who see how kindness lubricates
courtesy in every line of life is now
the growing rule. No strong man
lowers himself by giving somebody a
lift-no matter who that somebody is
1t may be an ignorant foreigner, I'M
versed in our ways and language, but
there is a right way and a wrong way,
even in pantomime.
''Of course, 1 do not know how.
much this courtesy counts in actual
dollars in year. but surely it is a
tidv sum. It increases revenues in
both. passenger and freight depart
ments. because it means friends. and
friends mean patrons When you di-
vert patron from your road through
discourtesy you lose his business. Con-
versely. when you increase the num-
Der of your friends you increase your
business. Thus, out of kind thoughts
crystallzed into courteous acts, are
dollars coined"

HEREDITY
Can Be Overcome in Cases.

The influence of heredity cannot. of
course, be successfully disputed, but it
can be minimized or entirely overcome
in some cases by correct food and
drink. A Conn. lady says:
For years while 1 was a coffee
drinker I suffered from bilious attacks
of great severity, from which I used
to emerge as white as 4 ghost and
very weak Our family physician
gave me various prescriptions for i'm
proving the digestion and stimulating
the liver, which 1 tried faithfully but
without perceptible result.
HE was acquainted with my fam
fly history for several generations
back, and once when I visited him he
said: If you have inherited one of
those torpid livers you may always
suffer more or less from its inaction.
We can't dodge our Inheritance, you
know.

ginning to think for myself I con-

st have used Postum for three
years, using no medicine. During all
that time [ have had absolutely none

suffer from, and 1 have been entirely

CAN MAKE NO MISTAKES.
Lives of People Depend on Railway
Employees Actions.

'The railway employees of the
country. taken as class. are paid
fair average wage; they receive bet
ter pay than those of any other coun
try in the world says the Santa Fe
Employees Magazine. Some of the
groups fill positions of hazard and re-
sponsibiIity. The dangers of their em-
ployment are known to none better
than the commission. Men in the
ordinary walks of life make mistakes
and live them down, or their mistakes
may go no further than the loss of
money to an individual, a firm cor
poration: not SO with the mistakes of
those in charge of the commerce of
the country and the lives of the mill
lions of men, women and children
yearly transported by the railway.
These active operating employees get
in a comparative sense, good pay
they deserve it. They will still con
tinue to ask for more if the economic
conditions of the country continue to
develop as they have in the past ten
years. The wage standards of these
classes have been increased approx
mately 40 per cent in the past ten
years. Yet they have done but little,
if anything, more than kept pace with
the increased cost of living in that
same period. ''-.--4--

The railways are offering no opposi-

GALL FOR LABoRERs IN KANSAS
Union Pacific Getting Trackmen by
the Hundreds.


Salina, Kan, Feb. 25.-From a re-
liable source it has been learned that
the Union Pacific Railroad company
has just sent out of Kansas City 215
trackmen. They are to work on the
Kansas division from Ellis to Kansas
City.
Furthermore, the man at the head
of the Union Pacific's employment
agency, has been ordered to get 500
more Greek or italian trackmen for
the Kansas division by the first day of
March.
This is the greatest number of men
the Union Pacific Railroad company
has ever sent out on its Kansas di-
vision since the years of the flood,
when a veritable army of men was re-
quired to repair the enormous damage
from the high water.
This is regarded by railroad mon
as the most favorable sign yet that
the Union Pacific Railroad company
intends to make some improvements
to the Kansas division which have
be N reported for so long.

A bill in the Legislature providing
for a pension for teachers is engaging
the attention of good many club
women. The measure is introduced
to secure an income for teachers who
have taught thirty years and is to be
effective for cities of the first class.
Not all teachers, according to the bill,
need to be retired after thirty years
service, but in case they leave the
work after that length of time, it is
designed to provide them with a means
of support. Most of the opposition to
the bill seems to come from the small
towns, which would not be affected by
it anyhow. since it applies only to the
larger towns.
