LEE LINE STEAMERS
RESUMING SERVICE

The Lee line steamer Eclipse left
Memphis early Tuesday morning for
Ashporft, Tenn, after having been out
OF service for so days, during Which
time the vessel was repaired and paint
ed. Beginning with the departure of
the steamer Tuesday. her regular sched-
ule will be carried out, and two round
trips will be made between Memphis
and Ashport weekly.
With the restoration of the Eclipse to
service only the packet Ferd Herold re-
mains out of service, and the officials
OF the Lee line expect this vessel to be
back in service in a short while.

ried, inconsiderate public. l would

those high-strung creatures who lose
their heads completely In any kind of
~confucion and who are constantly get
ting fused over trifles.
Yet there are people who occupy
those positions day after day-people OF
a nervous temperament, too-who
somehow manage to keep quite unaf-
fected by the strain, who even seem an
conscious that there is any strain.
There Is a man, for instance, at the
information bureau of q certain big ter
minal with which | am familiar. 1t Is
really a pleasure to watch him. That
station, in its confusion. its heat, its
general conditions, comes pretty close
to my idea of Gehenna, and all day long
this man is besieged by a surging mob
shrieking inquiries at him which are
for the most part either foolish or un-
necessary.
Yet he never becomes disconcerted
for q moment, never raises his voice,
always is smiling. Swiftly, methodical-
ly and accurately he furnishes In each
case the exact Information desired, and
he actually seems to enjoy being OF
help. And such is the effect Of his IN
failing courtesy and his smooth, easy
efficiency that even the most fretful
and importunate questioner leaves his
window satisfied and at peace,
/ have watched other men In similar
positions. Only too often they allow
themselves to become fretted and up
set. They lose their tempers and re-
turn short, grumpy answers which only
result in more questions for themselves
and possibly a time wasting wrangle
with the information seeker and the
crowd held waiting by this becomes in
turn impatient and cross, so that in
less than no time he has a dozen quar-
rels on his hand and nothing is accom-
plished.
The same thing can be observed II
the telephone service. The telephone
company has, as / understand, a list OF
about so phrases which are supposed &c
cover every possible emergency con
fronting it's operators, and which are
invariably couched in courteous Ian
guage.
