Probably you are not married if you are, we are sorry for your wife; and if—which we you have children, we are Sorry for them, You remember how it was, don't you, Mr. Conduct The small sch who hi forgotten her sche ase, and whe Wanted ‘a een Anne; the girl who would have had to leave the car, go back home, get her pass, and be an hour or more late had every one on the car been as finty hearted and bu headed as you were? Oh, you do remember that little girl, do you? Doubtless she remembers remembers how snarly ye and how, after her fri given her a nickel, you re give her a school transfer Mighty strong for the technical letter of the law, aren't you? But, thinking it over, and re membering that of all men on the car you were the only one who wouldn't gifidly have dug down and paid that girl's fare, don’t you think that maybe you are just a Dit too precise about the letter of the rules? There is euch a thing as sympa- they, and kindliness, and ordinary Rood sense, and if everybody you do business with held to the very letter of the rules and the laws, you would have a lot tougher time of it; so would we all. Mutual forbearance, a rv tion of the Golden Rule occas ly; a willingness to oblige, a sym pathy for the other fellow—these @re the things that redeem the world and make it possible for you to hold a good job without having to sit up nights with a shotgun to guard it. Almost every day somebo@y prod- ably gives you the best of it, Mr. Conductor, Don't be a hog: pass it along. And you tel your boss, and let him tell his boss, and keep on tell- ing until you get right up to Mur- Phine and Mayor Fitzgerald, that 99.9 of the white folks in Seattle say you are to ALWAYS shave the ‘Btraight edge off any rule when it Means the happiness of a child. q ‘There is a verse in a Book that » Maybe your mgther read to you, way back years and years ago, and in this verse it says something al mbout it being better for a certain , sort of a man if he had a mill stone around his neck and were cast Into the sf, Look it up, some time, Mr. Con- \CCASIONALLY, when tn search of light and jolly reading, I scamper thru a few pages of the dic tionary, No other book beMhas within it so many jests, and puns, and gay repartee.
