FAITHFUL SERVICE
I HE Pennsylvania Railroad publishes
1tM jl T a list of 316 employees who have
1 served the road for half a century
II 4 or more in a humble capacity One i i
if I I111II I has the extraordinary record of 69 j
r I I years of service and twelve have I
I been in the companys employ for
4 J t I I I I II I above 58 years
ito
of lifetime devoted
y Ya Other cases a
s r l W j iII J of N O t4 to one employer are those of the
t I < n Brooklyn printer who set type for I
66 years in the same newspaper
office and the New York clerk who received a complimentary dinner on
the conclusion of his half century of service with the same firm But
the dean of all faithful employees is the gardener on Lord Palmerstons
estate in England who has worked there continuously for 76 years A
parallel instance of a life passed in a narrow environment was that of
the Catskill farmer who lived for 98 years within a radius of four mlles
of his birthplace i
These examples of faithfulness and contentment command respect
Such lives illustrate homely virtues which are growing rarer and con
trast with the careers of the rovers and rolling stones from whom so
cietys vagabonds are recruited Yet they excite melancholy reflections
on the opportunities lost and arouse sympathy for the humility which
aspired no higher Their sober wishes never learned to stray from the
beaten patch They revolved in the most contracted of orbits content
with their treadmill round and deaf to ambition

Men of this stamp are necessary to a nations stability They give I
It fixity and permanence They anchor society But in them lie none
of the qualities which make for national greatness They produce no
pilgrims who cross the sea and plant new colonies They furnish no
explorers or pathfinders Not from them come the great captains of
war or industry With such men in the majority there would be no I
California and no Alabama There would be no great West and not
American republic The American continent itself would be unknown i
Civilization would be at a standstill
If these conditions of contentment prevailed boys would never leave
the farm to win the great prizes of life The log cabin would never lead
to the White House A Rockefeller
would remain satisfied with a small II 1111
commission business in a country
town Fanners would plow with
1 forked sticks as the Egyptians
picked Who would amalgamate II
our railroads or loot our traction t 1
systems There would he none to
loot The nation would disintegrate
from dry rot
The faithful employee is the
foundation of business security 11 t 111ut 1t u
f But there are other virtues which
slould accompany fidelity to an employers interests fidelity to ones
own energy industry with a view to improvement and the development
of capacity for higher things These homely lives of faithful service are
admirable examples of their kind but they are not recommended to
American youth for emulation >

Instead of lugging them Into siuffy cars
just to show them off He said Just a
little while ago that If he had his way
all the genies who raised a howl In the
oars would be taken off at the next
corner and chloroformed
Mrs Starveem gently reminded him
that he was a Berry once upon a time

ago and It he got his own medicine
