He cams Into the office Just as I arrived, and relieved the clerk who had previously been there. He re moved his coat deliberately and knag It up without haste or agitation, straightening the collar and smooth ing sat the wrinkles In the sleeves. He adjusted his tie carefully and brushed back hit hair, speaking to a follow clerk In the meantime, all the while oblivious of the gathering line be hind me. When he was ready to wait on me, he went at the Job without haste or agitation. He confirmed my reserva tion calmly; he made out my ticket slowly; he consulted all sorts o( tables and guides with a deliberation that revealed the fact that he waa not In fluenced by the pasaage of time. He was unmoved by the Irritation ot the woman behind me who wanted to catch the six fifteen train. When he finally had everything looked up and written In and pasted together and calculated and the ticket slipped Into Its outer clothing, twenty minutes had passed. The man had poise; he had self-control; be knew | that the line behind me would keep up all day and all night and he was not going to allow a little thing like that to worry him. It the woman did not get the six fifteen train there was another going later. And this state of mind explained why his cheeks were so round and his brow so unfurrowed and his actions so calmly deliberate. He could go on doing his work for ninety years with out a nervous quiver; he would al ways seem uninfluenced by the rush ing crowds constantly going by him. I am not sure that he was not over doing this seK-control a little, but most ot us could take a lesson from him. We worry too much. We rush into things headlong and do them badly. We lose our heads In a crowd or In stress of one sort or another or In meeting the unexpected because we do not center our attention upao the main business In hand. We are thrown off oar balanoe by little things ; we have no poiae.
