EMF LOYES PARTNERS
IN BISCUIT COMP ANY
Nearly Half of the Stock
holders Work for the
Concern.

The annual report of the National
Biscuit Company discIoses the interest
ing fact that OF the 1880 stockholders
.395 are employees. These large holdings
in the company BY the men who work
for it has been made possible by allow
ing the employees TO acquire the pre-
feTred shares which they bought on
easy installments. In this manner 1883
shares were acquired, exclusive of the
sHares held by the officers, directors,
and other officials OF the company.
As in the case OF the United states
Steel Company the officers of the Bis
cult Company realize the beneficial re-
suits OF making their employees part
owners. The cooperation thus secured
has made itself evident In the greatly
increased business done By the COM
pany.
Increase in Salaries.
Ten years ago its sales Tor one year
amounted to s34.O00.O00. In 1897 the sales
amounted TO So, O00, 900. This immense
Increase in business caEnot be al
tribrted solely &c tie ordinary business
progress or TO the sitting Of comFeti-
don, and a part Of It at least must be
due TO the cooperation OF the employees
holding stock in the company.
In this connection the cOmpanys re-
port says:

the fact that there Is a less NUMBER

Live and Let Live.
Aside from the stability given the

and pursuing the policy OF live and let
live. the National Biscuit Company has
inspired confidence among all its stock

In the study OF the Tragedy OF Am

stTated his familiarity with the work
Of the great playwright, even TO the
moods that suggested the working out

the great triol5gy Of the master.
AS 'Othello' was the tragedy OF cir
cUnstances. so Macbeth was the
tragedy OF ambition" he said. 1.-THE
ethical basis of Macbeth Is a naturally
good character marred by an evil pas
sion"
Prof. Griggs drew a comparison be-
tween Shakespeare and Dante, saying
the contrast IN interest between the
two is most completely revealed in
Macbeth The former shows the imme-
date effect upon the soul Shakes
peare slowly works result punishment
In the world. Prof. Grlggs also con-
trasJed Shakespeare treatment OF
wild ambition and its results, with the
way IN which the Italian poet would
have handled them. The movement IN
Macbeth is swift, because or rapid
composition, showing the author had
written the great drama huTTiedly.
The witches, the three weird ladies',
the lecturer called them. We're very es-
Eential TO the play as giving 1t an ar
