HELPED THE DESERVING MAN
New Yorker Spared a Few Moments
to Put Compliment Where
1t Did Good.

The Woman's Home Companion
prints an editorial about man who
wrote Il letter praising young rail
road man. 1t says:
"A busy New York man returned
last summer from his country home.
The station agent in that little coun-
try town had been particularly help
ful to him, in caring for his trunks and
arranging for the comfort of his
family"
THE New York man was grateful to
the station agent. He told him so.
lie wondered, as he rode along, what
chance the young fellow had in that
country station. Would any officer of
the road ever pass that way? Would
the lads willingness and efficiency
ever gain him II reward?
"When he reached his office he
wrote II letter to the president of that
railroad. 4 want to congratulate you
on the young man who represents you
Mt Snithton,' he said, he is courteous
and Intelligent, and the good will that
he secures for your road In that sec

Is young chap worth watching
"A little thing 1t was. The cost was
only few minutes of II stenographer's
time and two-cent stamp. Yet that
letter stood out like diamond on the
presidents desk amid the bundle of
querulous complaints. 1t frightened
the day in that big office. 1t may have
changed the whole career of the young

ONE OF EARTH'S QUIET SPOTS
Very Little Movement Noted in the
College Town During the Drowsy
Summer Months.

Only the dead sleep more serenely,
more beautifully than the college town
in summer. When you enter it you feel
that peace that passeth all under
standing has somehow descended upon
the place. 1t is a woman whose lover
Is away and who spends the lazy days
dreaming of him and waiting for his
return.
Downtown in the evening, girls
saunter the streets in pairs and are
not too scornful of the wandering COM
mercial salesman. At the hotel lights
are low and the lobby is quiet; in the
bar are a few citizens, n drummer and
maybe two or three students who are
tutoring through the summer.
Mornings on 'The Hill" you get still
more surely the sensation of loneli-
ness. The clock in the library tower
chimes the three-quarters, and like an
echo come the soprano voices of the
little group of leftover goods, singing
behind the open windows of con-
servatory.
The blue lake below you is I'M
marred by crew or sail. Even the
bronze image of the friend of the
founder, in the quadrangle, seems to
relax bit in its chair-and to be
waiting for September and the breath
of life.-Clevelan Plain Dealer.
