il! says an exchange:
Nine Of them will make reply:
mo, ! am not getting what ! am

Ask them the reason why they are
not getting all that they are worth
and each Of the nine will have .
reason for this failure 70 get his
dues.
One will say. "The old man has
a spite at me-" Another will talk
Of his lack Of pull. Still another
will have his excuse, and 50 on al
through the nine. None Of them 10
getting what he believes himself
worth. and each Of them places the
blame for the fact outside Of him
self.
You who know the facts in the
case put your hand on the reason Of
their failure to get all they think
themselves worth.
With one man it il because drink
has the upper hand Of him. Elk
t~rayagant ideas keep another man
down. A hot temper flches another
man Of his merited money. Anoth-
er is q trouble-maker. And &c it
goes; each man is worth more to bis
employer but for the one thing that
holds him back from getting more.
Now put the question to yourself,
say to yourself this very day:
"IIere am /, johnnie Jones; | have
been with my employer five years.
I am practically just where | started;
why am ! not getting as much as |
think / am worth? Now be as hon
est with yourself in sizing yourself
up as you were in sizing the other
fellows up.
Honest, now, isn't the fault all
within yourself that you are not
getting what you are worth?
But take the question in a still
larger way. Are you getting what
you are worth in life?
The fact Of the matter is, life is
an employer, when you look at it
from one point Of view. You are
the employee Of Life. Is life paying
you all you are worth?
Let's look at yourself.
Who are yon? Well, first Of all,
you are an American citizen; YOU
had a privilege Of being born in a
land where, if men work, they have
the opportunity Of advancement.
You did not have to cross the seas
to get to the land Of opportunity.
You were born on the soil. You
we're given q fairly good common
school education. The majority Of
boys get that, at least. When you
went to work you had 4 sound con-
stitution not yet undermined by any
pernicious habits. You have been
living twenty or twenty five, per-
haps forty years. and today you are
saying that your employer, Life, has
not treated you very well. You are
saying that Life is not giving you
what you ars worth.
Nov, stop sminute.
Life Is your employer, and a
your employer Life has right to
expect that you shall DO him the
things be expects you 70 do. Life

PARIS, Jan. 17.-Rejane has not only
opened to the Paris world a new the
ater, overlooking with ideas borrowed
fronlS'le systeme American" but has
embellished the occasion with the CO.
quettish crinolne. Picture the delight
full astonishment of the Parisians at
the luxurious cloak room, the dressing
from where madame can repair any
damages to her Coiffure or toilet, the
wide foyer, the comfortable loges, the
rows of seats so well separated that a
Woman's gown Is safe from injury
when others pass
One of the features is the bar
American" where a cup of chocolate
may be had.
Before the last act an attendant goes
through the house asking the patrons
If carriages are desired and giving
numbers to save all trouble at the
door.
The whole decoration is planned after
the style of magnificent English
drawing room and Nine. Rejane asks
her audiences to dress as becomes such
surroundings. The women will be eX-
pected to appear without hats and
decollete costumes will be welcomed.
The play itself, La SaVelle," is a
revival OF the second empire. MAX
Maury, the author, is new to the Paris
boards, and Rejane, in the title role,
has launched his drama magnificently.
Charles Burquet Is an effective Ma
poleon III, and the lovely Mile. Lau-

prefete, has scored a pronounced tri-
umph.
The crinoline skirts in the court scene
are heavy with embroideries and laces,
and pirouette about with airy grace.
Playwrights, actors and artists of
the greatest distinction i'm France filled
the seats on the first night.
Sarah Bernhardt. who is still suffer-
ing from the injury to her knee is
finishing out her engagement with
Catulle Mendes' drama, "Therese," ,"
staged sooner than she expected, be-
cause it gives her more opportunities
to recline than more stormy roles. She
will shortly undergo an operation.
She proposes to put on for her next
play an adaptation of Faust" in
which she will play Mephisto

BROWNING BUST THE
WORK OF HIS SON

LONDON, Jan. ia singular inter
est attaches to the bust of Robert
Browning, which was unveiled last
week at the Browning settlement, Wal
worth, the parish III which the great
poet was born. The bust is the work
of Robert Browning. the only son of
Robert Browning, and of another poet
himself almost equally distinguished,
Elizabeth Barrett Browning. 1t was
modelled in Venice years ago. and
Browning gave endless sittings for it
to his son. The bust is probably in it's
dimensions and proportions as accurate
as possible, as Barrett Browning took
the greatest pains about the measure
ments of the heads down to the minut-
est details. and never touched the clay
of the model except when his father was
sitting before him. 1t is we'll known
that Browning himself was very much
pleased with the bust.

BERNHARDT ON MARRYING

Special Gable to Tho Herald.
PARIS, Jan, 19.-Asked by a magazine
to define her position ON the question;
should stage folk marry?" Sarah
Bernhard, the mother of several
children, but who was never married,
answered as follows;
Every young girl, whether actress or
princess, whether rich or poor is en-
titled TO form her life according to her
own individuality; to be happy and
contented, she must follow, or carry
out, her ideal conception of things.
IF marriage is her ideal, by all means
let her get married as soon as she finds
a proper partner, Whether she is on
the stage or not shouldn't make the
least difference, But having married
she must entrust her future 10 the hus-
band Of her choice. If that husband
decides to divorce her from her pro-
fession, she must obey or unhappiness
will be her lot.
Madame Ristor was married;
Rachel was not Art suffered neither
in the one case or in the other. AS
to the perfect marriage it is as rare
among stage folks. / daresay, as
among grocers, kings, farmers,
princes, shoemakers, pal Jers, million
aires and royalty"

adroitness she cracked it loudly and
set the dogs at their exercise. The lat
ter well knew what was required of
them and, starting off all together,
went galloping around the ring, taking
the hurdles in full career, until they
were allowed to stop.
These excitements ended, the lady
took her visitor through the castle gar
dens, in which she displayed great
knowledge and interest.
Both Herr Won Bohlen and his wife
are enthusiastic about travel. She is
possessed with a desire to visit the
United States, but he finds it difficult
to leave the Krupp works, where he has
so much to learn. Talking of the sub
ject, Frau Won Bohlen said:
we have formed all sorts of plans
for future travel, but the difficulty is we
don't know where to commence"
And so the American visitor left
them, much impressed with the use
fulness and vigor of the everyday life
of the richest woman in the world.

ONLY ASKS FOR

DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH

Friends Say Reconciliation Is Now
Out Of the Question and Sep
araton Is Only Mat

Special Gable to The Herald.


LONDON, Jan. ia statement
published in the Throne (newspaper)
that reconciliation had taken place
between the duke and duchess of
Marlborough and that on boxing day
they came together again, your cor
respondent is able to say on the best
authority, is unfounded.
Negotiations have all along been
proceeding not for complete recon-
ciliation, which in the circumstances
is allowed by all having knowledge of
the facts to be humanly. impossible,
but for a modus videndl or colorado
reconciliation under which the duchess
can have the only concession she wants
or asks-the custody of her children.
Since the arrival of the duchess
mother some hcadWay has been made
toward an agreement on this point
and there is still hope that such an
agreement may finally be reached.
perhaps within a week. The duchess.
however, has written one of her most
intimate friends here within the past
two days that she hopes shortly to
leave for Paris with her two sons for
stay on the Riviera.
Her brother, w. *. Vanderbilt Jr.,
has already arrived at the Excelsior
hotel at Beaulieu and is looking for a
quiet villa where the duchess can stay
with him and his wife. Later ON she
probably will go for cruise ON the
Valiant.
The handing over of the children to
the duchess will be the outward yisi-
BILE sign of the conclusion OF an un-
derstanding. II is even possible the
duke and duchess may again inhabit
the same houses, may even appear
publicly together, but that will be
only for public purposes, as a gulf
divides them which cannot over be
bridged. The king is now said to be
lieVe that reconciliation is impossible
and that the best way out of the diff
ficulty is to have a separation settled
quietly before going abroad.

Put Your Money
TO Work

Suppose YOU had been one OF those who in
vested in United Verde or Caumet-Hecla
when the stock was selling for 25 cents per
share Why, as matter OF course YOU would
now. as are those who invested at that time, be
independently rich. United Verde is now
quoted at $500 per share and Calumet-Eecla at
5000 per share with no stock offered Tor sale
This tells a wonderful story, showing what
small investment in a good business venture
will do in the way OF bringing returns. If you
are looking for a safe place to invest your
money we can say that we believe this to be
one of the best offers ever made upon devel-
oped property property of known value and
one that bids fair to rival the mighty mine that
is only separated from it by the boundary line.
We invite your full investigation and are as
sured that after you have satisfied yourself of
the exceptional value OF this offer we will
have your cooperation.

Why Jerome Verde
Is Good

Those who have followed the wonderful prog
ress of copper mining and have noted the
many successes and few failures in copper
mines will be quick to appreciate the fact that
even as prospect" Jerome Verde would be
good On the other hand it is more than
prospect. IT IS A NINE with over 1000 feet
OF workings, and as it lies on practically the
same level as does United Verde, and as the
ore values have proven even better than
United Verde in smeter tests, it is reasonable
to suppose that it will prove to be as good as
Clarks wonder mine, which has paid over S4O-
100000 i'll dividends. At greater depth it is
thought that richer sulphide ores will be
found, and that means even better things for
Jerome Verde stockholders
1t is proposed to erect new smelter at the
mine, but this will not be done until the main
shaft has been sunk to greater depth and the
character of the ore determined This is a
conservative, safe and sure investment

servants standing around, the whole

To the unprej JUDGED observer it was
obvious that this was no marriage of

married pair at home might do on d
