HE IS THE BEST MAN WHO
SERVES BEST

The flush times did more than
make money plentiful and bus:enSs
good. Perhaps its worst effect was
that it made contemplate fools OF
tens of thousands of people who
serve the public, people who make
their daily bread serving the public
The bank clerk, the street car con
ductor, the railroad ticket agent,
might be named, are there to serve
people who are buying something
from them, or paying them money or.
indeed, lending them money. Yet
the instances are myriad where such
servants of the public treat the peo-
pie especially the masses of people
with offensive impatience. disre-
spect and very often brutality.
When, these days, there is rush
at ticket office window, at par
ticular sales counter, in street
car, there you will as often as not
find peevish attendant, talking
snappishly or ,insultingly, refusing
to explain intelligently, or treating
with scant courtesy the very people
who are waiting TO hand their none;
over 10 him
Can you beat it?
Where are their brains? Do they
not realize that tbs very presence of
the crowds at their windows or their
counters means business for tn cir
employer-that it means the SAL
EATION OF THEIR JOBS? Cant
they understand that the rush is
such good thing for them persopa:-
~ that they ought to beam instead OF
scowl over it?
1t is an old story that courtesy
brings trade. And now that the
easy days have gone and competi
tion rules again, the snappish server
OF the public probably wonders why
he is out of a job while the man who
was pleasant and courteous through
it all, is hanging on at the old stand.
Let not the snappish clerk think
he is even moral. Real service is
the highest morality. WE ALL
SERVE-from the highest to the
lowest. Look up his business or
private life and you will find that no
man is so rich or so independent that
he doesn't serve somebody. 1t is
the way of humanity-yesterday to-
day and forever. He who serves
best is the best man. Consequently,
those whose practice is to serve peev-
ishly and extensively are cheap spe-
cimens of mankind.
Don't forget that fact the next
time you are treated like an insect
at the ticket Office window or the
sales counter.
