DENrlARK'S THEATRE JUBILEE.
The Interesting Exhibit That is to Be
rlade In Copenhagen This Year.

One of the principal incidents of the
jubilee in Copenhagen this year will be
the exhibition devoted to the history of
the National Theatre there. an institu-
ton that has played a notable part in
the literary history of Denmark. On
Dec. IS next it's 150th birthday will be
celebrated, and the exhibition will pre-
sent souvenirs of every stage OF its his
tory as well as OF the most popular
actors who have been associated with
1t in times past. No other feature of
the celebration has been attended to
with greater care or sympathy than the
preparations for the honor to be paid
to this theatre, of which the country Is
so proud.
The methods and the progress Of the
theatre in Denmark from the time that
Holberg founded national theatre
there about two hundred years ago will
all be depicted in this exhibition. The
first theatre that he established Will be
shown, and twelve smaller theatres
that succeeded his will be seen with
the improvements in every one. The
last example will be model of the
present National Theatre. showing the
complete electric equipment and the
final technical completeness OF the in
stitution as ii was used in recent
spectacle presented there. Some of the
more personal "reminiscences of the
theatre are found in the pictures and
belongings of the famous artists asso-
ciated with it, such as Dupui, the
French actor. conductor and composer,
on whose account the Crown Princess
Charlotte was divorced, and a man de-
scribed at the time as "the darling of
women and the ideal of men,"
The jewels and other objects present.
ed to Johanna Heiberg, at one time the
greatest OF Danish actresses, are also
to be exhibited. along with a complete
reproduction of the study Of Adam
Oehlenschlaeger just as 1t was when he
wrote the works with which his fame
is chiefly associated. Hans Christian
Anderson comes in for his share of
honor In this exhibition devoted to a
survey Of the history Of the theatre in
Denmark.-The Sun.

NO MAN INDISPENSABLE.
A Limit TO the Value of Even the
Valuable rIan's Services.

''It's a mistake for q man to think
he's indispensable" said Mr.. Nozzle
by, for no man is. Men are valuable,
and they may easily make themselves
yvery valuable, but when man comes
to think that the business can't get
along without him, or can't get along
so well as IL does, which amounts to
the same thing, why, he's wrong, that's
all. More than one man has found that
out when he has set his valuation too
high. And II is very probable that when
he began to dwell on his own value. his
value in reality began to decline; 1t Is
certain that one of the things that con-
tributed most to increase his value was
his forgetfulness of himself.
"As matter of fact mans inter-
ests, IL he is really a superior man, up
10 a certain point, and that a high
point too, will take care of themselves.
or rather other people will take care of
them II he will supply the motive.
There is fixed low price for the run
OF people OF average ability, but none
for the man of really superior ability,
that Is. If he is a 100 per cent. man,
which is to say not only OF high ability.
but of perfect forgetfulness of self and
absolute devotion to business. Any
break or flaw or lack In these qualities
anywhere knocks a mans value down
wonderfully. Nothing less than the
whole thing will do, but that will COM
mand a price anywhere and every
where
"Still no man is indispensable: IL isn't
In the nature OF things that he should
be. No matter who dies, the world
keeps on turning just the same. and IL
would be just the same with the busi-
ness IL you should go out OF 1.-THE

SHE ROUNDS UP noBoEs.


Mrs S j. Atwood calls herself the
"Hobo Hustlef of the West" and there
Is possibly no other woman In the
world who holds a similar position.
Her business Is to gather up all the
idle laborers she can find and put them
to work on the Union Pacific railroad in
Colorado. Wyoming and other Western
sections. She has been employed by the
Union Pacific in this capacity for the
past twelve years. and the company
finds her services indispensable.
Mrs Atwood arrived In Kansas City
on Friday. and Saturday she left with
fifty men for Wyoming. Most Of the
men were negroes. Several OF them had
the appearance Of typical hobocs. Mrs.
Atwood has been I'm the business SO
long that she says she can tell by look
ing at a man whether or not he will
make n good hand. When she sees one
who suits her taste she approaches him
without hesitation and asks him how he
would like the position she has to offer.
IL only requires the work OF about n
minute for the terms TO be arranged.
and the man Is escorted to some corner
where others she has engaged have
been congregated.
Mrs. Atwood has no place she calls
her home, but she usually makes Dem
yer her headquarters. Most OF her time
IL spent between Denver and Portland.
OR. She says she does not exactly like
the style OF the men she received In
Kansas city. as they do not look suf-
ficlently. hardy. but that labor is very
scarce i'm the far west just now and she
could do no better.

about 30 years OF age. She has short
curly hair that z as black as night. She
walks with an agile step and always

CIRCULATION THAT GOES
DOWN IN SPOTS.

To the average business man the
present season does not appeal strongly
as time to push business.
Newspaper proprietors are of much
the same composition as other business
men. Their vocation calls. for much
the same kind OF talent, displayed ac-
cording to the particular line OF goods
they carry.
But although in the summer season
fhc newspapers take 1t for granted that
the advertising end of their business
will fall of, inasmuch as a good deal of
the business OF the men who advertise
falls or, they do not look for any seri-
Gus decrease in net circulation. but only
for transference of a part of 1t from
the city residence to seashore. noun
tain and country.
A forcible example of such transfer
ence came to The News office the other
day. The circulation OF The News. as a
matter OF fact. has been growing at a
most gratifying rate ali summer quite
independently OF the war interest which
gave a temporary boost to all news
papers. SO that with a few exceptions
there has been less OF normal decrease
IN the city distribution due to the
ehanse Of residence OF patrons. But
one OF our largest newsdealers located
IN q populous uptown district has every

greater and greater number OF copies

circulation decided to cut the news

REFLECTIONS.

The lesson of the great contest now
ended is that intelligence and labor
with free institutions are to be hence
forth all powerful In the history of the
world
No nation represents those ideas as
our nation does. II has proved the
practical value OF them all, not In this
year OF grace alone. but in other years
and before more powerful nations than
our latest antagonist.
The splendid disciplined navy. whose
fame has been renewed. is strong
enough protection without any SEN
tangling alliances"
There was no lack of chivalry in
lighting Spain because she was less
strong than we were but II was the
very highest purpose OF chivalry to
prevent the strong from continuing to
oppress the weak and the only way that
such thing could be done was by being
stronger and more skillful than the op-
pressor.t Society is never deemed un-
just because 1t Furnishes law breakers.
though, OF course. society is always
stronger than such offenders; other
wise it could not punish them.
This nation will never reverse its
manner of living, the purpose of which
is to cultivate this intelligence and
high personal qualities in every youth
that IL raises. or every man that seeks
its citizenship. We have seen men of
high station and wealth. with appar-
emily everything to live for, face death
bravely and the men who yesterday
seemed but of little service to anyone
have given evidence of the same noble
manhood in those heat maddened
charges on Cuban soil. Truly out Of all
this will come better understanding.
Surely the divine Providence which has
set victories on our arms will direct and
gently lead us to a closer union OF
hearts, under this, our government OF,
by. and for the people in fact as well as
In name.
II the deeds of our antagonist have
been cruel and dastardly, the same
spirit of bravery was there as in our
own, though II was not wisely directed.
That spirit in the foe could not win be-
cause the institutions in whose keeping
It was were founded on pride and in
justice. And as to those poor and op-
pressed people to whom the victory of
cur arms has brought new life and new
hope, it would be unfair to Judge them
by our standards. The poorer their
condition, the greater and the nobler
will be our trusteeship. In the grandeur
of our own strength we determined that
their prosecutions should end and we
have won the good fight, and the di-
rection of their affairs for a time, at
least. will be our task. No one ac-
quainted with history will doubt that
the record Of the trust shall be worthy
of our nation. of its history and OF its
aims and ambitions.
