He Seemed Conscious of
His Important
Position.

He seems to be in perfect
health and is quite conscious of
the Importance OF his position.
But there is one thing Of which
he is not conscious. That is
THE IMPORTANCE OF COUR-
TESY AND POIITENESS to-
ward the patrons Of the road.
Not that this young conductor has
been guilty of gross impoliteness,
He has simply been too brusaue,

his methods. to make him stand
in his position g an admirable
example of ambitious young man
hood forging his way to the top.
Three ladies' were boarding the
car with all possible speed, two
with many parcels and one with
a suit case, when this young con-
ductor called out, brusquely,
step lively! Step lively! And
the words were accompanied with
an aggressive pull at the start
ing strap which almost pitched
one lady backward.
It is sometimes necessary for
passengers who are standing on
the platform of cars, and block
ing the passageway while they
bid adieu to friends on the street,
to be reprimau Jed by a request
to "step lively" But these three
ladies were hurrying and using
more speed than grace in their
effort to enter the car.
Therefore the young conductors
advice was superhuous and impo-
lite. One lady wished TO leave
the car 1t was moving with
great speed, and she arose to
make sure of getting to the door
and making her exit.

young conductor gave her a look
of scorn. "Sit down." he com
manded, in a most dictatorlal
tone. I'VE stop at the corner"
But before he finished speak
ing the car had reached her
street. The lady wanted to tell
him to learn the great art of

How many remember his name? This writer at the

Why this desire TO be remembered this passion to

Is it only fooshness the human mind this craving for
the immortality which is unattainable?
There nothing useful in this world

foolish feeble little individual DESIRES TO BE REMEM-

We are ruled THROUGH OUR OWN ATTRACTIONS AND
PASSIONS. That which is good for the WE WANT.
We MADE TO want that which best for and hest for
others.
And men WANT TO BE REMEMBERED, BECAUSE
ORDINARILY IN ORDER TO BE REMEMBERED, 1T is
NECESSARY TO DO SOMETHING BRAVE OR PERMA-

away their property unsehshy and devote every of

his state of mind; but when a
youth sets forth upon this voca-
tion it seems misfortune for
him to begin his work in this
state Of nervous tension and
needless irritability with unof-
Tending passengers.
In any position which necessi-
tates being thrown with thou
sands Of ones fellowmen Of all
classes good nature and courtesy
are rare assets. They are fac
tors In future success. They lead
to promotion and growth. They
conserve ones forces.
Nothing wastes and dissipates
our energies more than the habit
of being easily irrttated over
small matters.
One of the most important re-
solves any young man can mako
when he sets out IN any vocation
in life Is to cultivate AVAILABILITY
and poise in his dealings with his
fellows. And to add courtesy and
an agreeable manner.
He will be astonished as he Gull
tivates these qualities to see how
many Of the worrisome happen
ings of daily life disappear before
smile and how many troubles
vanish when met with poise and
equanimity.
Every street car conductor
needs to realize that to greater
or less degree he is influencing
the feelings of every person who
boards his car.
A nervous, tired and despond-
ent passenger can be made still
more nervous by a disagreeable
and brusque conductor, and can
be made correspondingly less
nervous and irritable by a gra-
cious and kindly presence in the
person Of the conductor.
Each one Of US sends forth vi
brations through every waking
moment. And those vibrations
are influencing everyone who
comes in our vicinity. Whether
they are good or bad, peaceful or
warlike, restful or Irritating, de-
Ponds on our state Of mind.

He is well pleased with the progress
OF the work and the favor with which
il is being met throughout the state
Farm advisers are practically new

Mr.. BeSse learned that farm ad
viscrs have grown in favor about 500
per cent in the counties where they
have them. The different advisers
and their boards attribute this 10 a
better understanding of the movement
and the actual results obtained.
This summer the farm advisers will
organize farm home management
schools in each district that wants
one in their respective counties
There will be fifty such schools. The
farm management department will
send to each school for one week a
graduate student to teach home eco
nomics in the afternoons At night
she will teach preventive medicine
and subjects which will be of interest
10 the men as we'll as the women.
Another part of the advisers work
