MAKE A BUSINESS OF ENTERTAINING

"He's the entertainer of railroad
committee" said one man to another
about third man who had saluted the
speaker in passing.
"And whom does he entertain?"
"Mostly men from the other side of
the Atlantic whom the company wishes
to interest in it's schemes or securities.
Other persons, too, if need be. Doubt
less he has work of other sorts on
hand, but he is chosen primarily be-
cause he knows how to entertain"
The entertainer of a railway company
is well-spoken man who knows just
what to say and when to say it. He
takes the visiting capitalist in hand ,
introduces him to the right people and
sees that he does not fall in with the
wrong people. Perhaps he sees that
the stranger is made comfortable at
some good club, or even invited to
fashionable houses, although the enter
tainer does not make use unnecessa-
rily of what is known as society in fur
thering his ends. There are still some
rich Britons who hope to be richer
through transactions in American
stocks, bonds and mortgages. There
are some amazingly green foreigners
who have visions of sudden wealth to
be had in such transactions. For
the most part, however, the visiting
foreign capitalist is in search of invest
ments that will pay higher dividends
than Investments at home. 1t is the
business of the entertainer to make
such men see his road as the managers
wish it to be seen. The task is a deli
cate one, for the visiting capitalist is
often shy and suspicious. Being a
great man at home he would resent a
palpable attempt to manipulate him.
IL he is to see the right people aud be
kept away from the wrong people the
machinery that compasses all this must
be kept out of view.
The entertainer comes out in great
form when he sends 2 party of capital
lists on tour of inspection over the
road. Some such tours are historic,
and when their history comes to be
written it will be found vastly more
entertaining than the list of distin-
guished guests given to the press
through the agency of the entertainer.
That shrewd person sees that the trip
is embellished with all the luXuries of
the table, solid and liquid, that the
right men encounter the visitors at the
right places an1 that the proper statis-
tics are thrown in the way of the
strangers. There are great many
clever persons employed in managing
railway system, and considerable
sums are expended by every company
for lubricating oil to keep engines and
other machinery in order, but there is
no cleverer person and no more eff
cient lubricator than the entertainer
1t has been said that he could not stand
the test for moral color blindness, but
doubtless this is an invention.-New
York Sun.

to understand the times in which a
play is laid, which can help me to un-
derstand the character of the person
whom 1 am to represent on the stage.
I think it out in what [ call the lost
moments - the moments when one
would ordinarily waste ones mind on
trivialities-the moments in my car
riage, the moments when l am walking
from one part of my house to another,
the moments when / am going to sleep
or waking up. There is 80 much time
which one can save by having some
thing important to think about.
"But as for the parrot trick of learn
ing the lines, it is nothing! After that
is accomplished, one must spend so
much time in learning how to live the
life of the character-in becoming
actually married to ones part-that
one has none to waste on the mere
committing of the lines to memory"
Bernhardt is Of the belief that most
of the modern playwrights are all
wrong. Speaking on this subject, she
recently said to a Paris interviewer:
81 would advise them against natural
ism and realism in theaters. Those are
the besetting sins of the drama of these
years. The stuff for plays should be
drawn from the Imagination, which
lifts up; not from real life, which drags
down. The great fault of our modern
dramatists-many of them-is that
they try to split hair into four parts
they try to get something out of
nothing"
OF late years Sardou has given his
time almost exclusively to the writing
of plays for Bernhardt, but she does
not see anything wonderful in that.
Bernhardt is vain and she isn't. Her
vanity is 30 mingled with democracy
and good-fellowship that it is difficult
to separate the one from the other
For thirty years adulation has been
poured upon her in an incessant
stream, and it would be surprising if
she were not somewhat impressed by
her own importance.
Her ideas of the greatest stage roles
chime we'll with popular opinion. She
says: "For men unquestionably the
greatest part is Hamlet. For women
the greatest part is that of Lady Mac
beth. If you turn to comedy the great
est part is in As You Like 1t. But aside
from that one 1 rank Moliere with
Shakespeare as writer of comedy.
Look at The School of the Women.
The School of the Husbands and Am.
phitryon-all grand! If | had to give
preference among Moliere's comedies
it would be for Tartutfe or The Wise
Women"
In the matter of individual seen g,

| difficult to make a selection. ''rhere

one man at gun of this kind could
annihilate in few minutes regiment
armed with the weapons of thirty years
ago.
With the improvement in ammuni-
tions and rifles, the sharpshcoter would
figure most prominently in the next
war; and it is satisfactory to know that
Uncle Sans marksmen are the finest
in the world. The $4,000 soldiers in the
regular army have just been furnished
with the new caliber rifle made at the
national factory at Springfield. 1t is
effective at a distance Of mile, and
the lead bullet, clad in steel coat,
leaves the muZzle at speed OF nearly
half mile second. This idea OF the
up-to-date rifle is to throw small and
very hard projectile with enormously
increased velocity to much greater
di,tance with greater precision than
formerly.
Just here comes in an odd point. The
weapon is an improvement in the di-
rection of humanity. The bullet trav-
els so fast that apparently the body
does not attempt to resist it, and it
passes through the flesh or bone with
out intlicting much of a shock, making
a small, clean hole and not breaking up
the tissues. 1t goes through the thin
ner bones, as the shoulder blades, the
ribs and breast-bone without smashing
effect. An opportunity for first-rate
test was afforded by the recent Chitral
campaign in India. Wounded natives,
with tiny holes drilled clear through
them, were out and about within
twentyfour hours, not suffering any
serious inconvenience. Snch was
actually the case with a majority of
the Swatis who were hurt III various
engagements. This might be under
stood more easily if only the flesh had
been injured, but bones were perfor-
ated and yet the men were not dis
abled.
Sharpshooters armed with the mod
ern style of rifle will play great part
in future warfare. The discharge of
the new weapon is almost noiseless,
and, smokeless powder being used;
there will be nothing to betray the To-
cation of a concealed rideman who
pours continuous fire with muderous
accuracy into the ranks OF the enemy.
