WAITS TWO WEEKS FOR
PET DOGS CARCASS
Rich Miner Delays Business Journey
West for "ProWler's" Stuffed
Remains

Remains
Special to The Herald
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Frank Butler,
a mine and ranch owner Of Des Moines,
Ia, stopped at Hoboken as he was
about to go west to attend to the busi-
ness that had called him from Europe,
to await the arrival on North Ger
man Lloyd steamer of the stuffed body
of a dog. The dog had been, in life,
only of the street variety, but Buffers
12-year-old daughter, Florence, became
so attached to 1t that when the trip
across the sea was undertaken she had
persuaded her father to allow Prov
ler' to go along.
Unhappily the dog came in contact
with a motor car on a boulevard in
Paris. To please the child the dogs
body was sent to a taxidermist, who
had not finished his work when But
ler's ship sailed. The little girl went
aboard in the belief that the body of
her pet was somewhere in the hold.
When she learned, on the arrival of
the steamer in Hoboken two weeks ago.
that "Prowler" was to come on a later
steamer, she was set upon remaining
in Hoboken till what was left of him
arrived. Butler finally yielded. en-
gagged apartments in a Hoboken hotel
and waited. "Prowler" arrived on
Wednesday. There was a reunion be-
tween the child and the stuffed pet
and the family started for Des Moines.

Burban

The Burbank theater yesterday
opened it's second week of "If 1 Were
King" The play is slightly improved
by the weeks work on it, but there are
no material changes. Judging from
the noise made by the audience it con-
tinues to appeal to the Burbank class
Of theater-goers.
William Desmond finds himself bet
ter suited in the role of Francois Villon
than in any part he has portrayed for
many months. 1t is a very wholesome,
good-natured, harmless drama we'll
staged and we'll acted. 1t deserves its
two weeks run if anything put on at
the Burbank ever has.
The usual matinee will be given Sat-
urday.

Duties of the Secretary

All incoming and outgoing commu-
nications and visitors must pass the
secretary. He wards off unwelcome
visitors. He records all appointments
and brings them to the executives no
tice. He answers the minor corre-
spondence and places the important
correspondence on the executives
desk. He issues all orders and letters
sent from the executives office, and
follows them up. He presents all peri
odical reports of the business. In brief,
the private secretary is the personified
system of the executive.

HOW A GOOD EXECUTIVE
MANAGES TO SAVE TIME
MINUTES EASILY LOST MEAN
MUCH IN BUSINESS
Work Should Be Apportioned So That
High Salaried Men Need Not Do
What Less Efficient Employees Can
Easily Accomplish

When business executive has an in
come expressed in six figures-and
there are scores of men who receive
salaries of 100000 a year-he must de-
vote his time and energies to the duties
which demand his peculiar talents and
which involve responsibilities which
cannot be relegated to subordinates,
says Kendall Banning in The Worlds
Work. The work which finally reaches
him must pass sometimes through sew
eral processes of filtration before it is
brought to his attention, and it is the
private secretary who does the final
work of sitting.
Just as it is unwise to use a $100-a-
day machine to do $90-a-day work, it ia
unwise to squander the time of an
executive. A $10-a-day man who de-
votes half his time to detail work that
might be done by a two-dollar-a-d day
stenographer wastes So worth of time
daily.

Concentration Is Necessary

"I do one thing at a time" is the first
maxim of a modern business execu-
tive, and no man can concentrate his
energies on a single object when his
mind is disturbed by small details.
Fifteen minutes day spent in opening
the morning mail represents a loss in
time of $1S6 a year to the $5OO0-a-year
man, 1872 to the $1O,OOO-a-year man, and
1880 a year to the s5O,OOO-a-year man.

lieve such men of detail.
