Why I* It »o llttla taught, teamed or practlaed? Not long elnce I entered a itatlonery ealabllBhment where all klnda of printing are done. , . ... Like the majority of American*. I waa In aomethtng of a liuriy—-with many dutlea and engagements to till the day. I wanted to aek the price of a cer tain piece of work I desired done, which might have reaulted In my permanent patronage. There were three men and a young woman within apeaklng distance; all were busy with customers: two of them glanced nt me. but otherwise Ignored my presence. I waited live ininutea and no one had approached me or spoken tn me. Then I went elsewhere. How easily one of these attendants rould have said In a gracious and polite manner. "Madam. 1 will be at liberty In a few moments. Will you wait?" It would have satisfied my sense of the decencies nf business association and secured my patronage. Uver and over I have had thla expe rience In New Tnrk and other Ameri can cities. 1 prefer Amertra !• any other coun try I have ever aeen. hut I do not be lieve this lack of courtesy rould be found In one shop In a hundred abroad. It not only coals nothing In be po lite and affable, hut It pays How cu rious that the dividend-loving, shrewd, progressive American eo frequently for gets this tact. I am confident, the more I see of life, that all employees In whatever situa tion reflcet the color of the mind which directs them. Without question, the tnan who Is at the head of that printing estab lishment which Is herein referred to lacks courtesy, and his Influence per- meates the whole Institution. I remember an apartment house where the crankiness and brutality of a landlord who had never learned self-control was reflected by all the elevator boys and attendant* In a lesser form. . I know another where the good nature and kind heart of the proprietor Is to be found In some measure In the deportment of all hie employee*. If a haughty, dleagreeable or Impertinent man or maid maeta me at a door where 1 call I know the ruling aplrlt of that household promises simi lar qualities, unless Ii rhance* lo be n transient attendant who ha* not been long enough In the new position to shake off the meqtal habits of the * To* Hie manager of any department In any of our large ehope can lie traced lu prevailing spirit of either courtesy or brusqueness which pa- irons encounter. There nre shops—a few only—which It I* a pleaeure to enter: there nr* ..(hers-many others—where Inattention, sullen'neas or a lofty air of conde scension prevail from manager to elevator boy. It It well to remember one thing: The really great people of thy world - those horn with great hral»i sod hearts—have altvaje been courteous, simple and kind In manner to their fellow men In all stations of Ilf*, and If you wont to Imitate real greatness, as well ae to make life sweeter for everybody*, you will cultivate tbeee accomplishment*. mm ENTERED SEVERAL HOMES BEFORE CAPTURE Hety for Burglary After New Evidence It* - Received. Additional evidence It accumulating against. Oscar Ahlgran, the suspected professional crook, and the Indications are that he will have to answer in the aute Courts to aeveral different cases. Mra.
