more time-to devote to his constantly increasing duties It would be we'll enough to have rest and ease and social relaxation when fortune had crowned his success.
 And when success came 1t was with coyness and it's reserve It came in waves and then In flood. Factory aft CT factory had to be built and force after force increased to meet the tre mendous volume of business that poured in upon him. All the while his selling organization was spreading. It reached out until 1t covered all the United States. The day he opened his 500th branch John Nettleton celebrated with a banquet to the heads of his de- partments. Then hls men invaded Cam ada, Mexico, Central and South Ameri- ca, Great Britain. France and all Flu rope. Next his agents were in Africa, Australia and the Far East. The world was John Nettletons He and the Great Idea had triumphed.
 Nettleton handled his big industry as a skillful, scientific agriculturist would care for his farm-pruning here, plant ing there, clearing away weeds, strengthening the soil, utilizing all that was good and roofing out what was bad. But much as he pruned, much as he planted, much as he cleared out weeds and strengthened his soil, the result was not always satisfactory.
 The human element plays mighty part In the machine of business. Net tleton might make machines to his liking, but not men. He. chafed be- cause his men did not at times come up to his expectations. Sometimes his ideas regarding what they should do were absurd, but that made no diff ference. He was master. He wanted much, and when 1t was not given in full measure or more he got rid of those in&whom he had been disap- pointed and put others in their places
 Without realizing 1t he had become a slave to his business He thought of nothing but its expansion, its growth and its greatness. His family had ceased to interest him. Coldness had come as re- suit of complaints and separation as a result of coldness He welcomed the separation, but he became bit alarmed when a physician, summoned to prescribe for seemingly slight indisposition, told him his health was endangered; that his nervous system was in disorder and his
 vitality impaired. It never had occurred

This Is MT. Templeton, my $75,000 office boy" was the way MT. Nettle- ton delighted in introducing the gener- al manager.
 Those were pleasant days in the great esta blishment with cloudy wealth CT only when the master, still in an elusive hunt for renewed health and a return of the energy of old, appeared suddenly to introduce some new idea for the benefit of his 600 employees. Once he hurried over from Europe firm in the belief that the clear, calm men, tai attitude of the British man of bus mess was due to the habit of taking afternoon tea. The day of his arrival at headquarters orders were issued for and all employees except those in the factories proper to have tea thereafter at a specified hour. And MT. Nettle- ton furnished the tea and the sugar. But there was no cream, for he did not think cream improved the tonic prop erty of the tea, but rather neutralized its stimulating effect.
 Once, after visit to Battle Creek,
 
 when he was much impressed by an eminent physician, who believes it Is little short of a crime to eat meat, he gave orders that thereafter meat should I not be served in the mammoth restau- rant at which many of the employees ate.
 Once, after conference with the rub Der, he issued orders that all work should cease for five minutes in the morning and five minutes in the afternoon while all employees indulged in mild calisthenic ex- ercses.
 No less solcitous for the physical we'll being of the little industrial army than MT. Nettleton was the rubber. He watched the fat men keenly to note what progress they made toward more moderate lines, and the thin men to see if they were as-

 John, said MT. Nettleton, 'I should not have come here after the way you answered me, but I am an old man and I am breaking down. I want you. need you. I have had no peace, no rest since you departed. Come back. It is no question of money. Fix your own terms. I will arrange for you to succeed me.

Players the Public Kikes

From the New York World
 The list of 100 popular plays prepared for the New York Dramatic Mirror by Howard Herrick and selected not so much for dramatic or literary qualities as for their hold on audiences. is instructive as showing what kind of drama the great play-going public in its heart likes best
 Here are the old friends of a former stage generation: "The Count of Monte Carlo.' "The Corsioan Brothers." "Rich- elieu," London Assurance,, ''Uncls Toms Cabin.' East Lynne" "Camille." Here is "Ingomar." with It's memories of Mary Anderson; the plays that New York saw in the Daly and Palmer days Article A. Diplomacy" "F'rou- Frou," "A Scrap of Paper," "The Two Orphans" with It's souvenirs of Kate Claxton ''Fe- dora, The Private Secretary" "A Cel- ebrated Case Jim the Penman," Tho Bankers Daughter" and a full quota of Sardou and Bronson Howard generally
 There is "Fanchon," with Maggie Mitch ell; The Shaughraun," with Boucicault;
 Shore Acres,' Hazel Kirke," "Trilby,"
 Ben Hur,' and of more nearly con- tempoary time, "The Heart of Mary land" '"The Liars," "Zaza," "A Texas
 Steer" '"rhe Christian," Lady Winder- mere's Fan" Mrs. Dane's Defense" The Second Mrs Tanquerary," ''The Witch ing Hour ''The Climbers" Peter Pan,"
 'The Great Divide" along with an al- lowance of Ibsen and Sundermann.
 It is, however, in the lists of the ten plays most acted" compiled for the Mirror by veteran actors that the surest clue to the popular taste is found. Of the five lists drawn up all contained Uncle Toms Cabin" Ten Nights in a Barroom," East Lynne" The Two Orphans,' Camille" and Rip Van Winkle.' and all but ono Hamlet" opinions lf-ering on the in- clusion of Monte Cristo." Lady Aud leys Secret,' "The Octoroon," The Colleen Bawn" and Hazel Kirke."
 What Hamlet" should be doing in this galley is subject for interested speculation. But that 1t Is there and that competent actors still play 1t to packed houses makes difficult any gen. eralizations on a public taste which. while 1t holds fast to the Shakespearian masterpiece, shows marked prefer ence for the simpler emotionalism and more melodramatic expedients of the playwright as evidenced by Uncle Tom" East Lynne" and their kind. It is significant that not one of the "advanced' dramatlsts has won a place among the publies favorite 'thrillers."
