SURFEIT or ONE PLAY.
woman VINO EntertHlns Buyers Saw
Eight Performances I'm q week.

There is a woman in New York whose
occupation is to entertain women buyers
who come into town for houses through
out the country. She has an Office, and
whenever a wholesale dealer in milli-
merry or dress goods has a woman buyer
on his hands she is called on the tele-
stranger as Mrs. So and So Of our house.
She then takes the buyer in tow. for it
10 the custom still to show the buyers
some attentions, with the idea OF cement.
ing their allegiance to the houses with
which they deal.
This woman has a strong complaint
against popular shows. As entertainer
she defers to the request Of the buyer to
see some one particular show. Naturally
this buyer from out Of town will select a
show that she had heard Of as doing well
and as being amusing. IL has happened
to this woman entertainer that in one
week. a very busy one, she saw the same
show just eight times. every evening
and at two matinees. After that most
persons will agree that she earns her
money.
Her system is TO take her visitor out
to dinner, then to the show and afterward
to have a bite OF supper somewhere
Her bill to the house for which she is
doing the entertaining is for expenses,
plus rs per cent. for her work. In this
way she has built up an income OF about
81, 900 for the year. She does not work
a whole year at that, only those few
months during which the buyers come
into town.
II is the habit OF not few theatres
to send a pair OF tickets for some show
that seems to be making good to a whole-
sale house, with the idea that some mem
Der OF the firm will take in the piece.
II he likes it, and the chances are that
he will. he is then in line to recommend
il to any men buyers who come into town
and after business want to know some
thing good to see. Very often it becomes
the duty OF members Of these firms to go
along.

DUTCH RAILWAYS.
After FIFTY Years struggle They Pay Only
About Z Per Gent.

The railways Of Holland seem to have
pretty hardscrabble time of il. Water
competition-that OF the canals and OF
the Rhine-has always been their bug
bear. Even now. after fifty years strug-
gle for business, the railways carry only
10 per cent. OF Dutch freight.
From Amsterdam alone there are not
less than $50 lines OF local steamers that
go regularly to every port of the country.
providing daily service-or rather a
nightly service-which enables them to
deliver freight from almost anywhere
to anywhere in the country every morn
ing. II is only when the canals and
rivers freeze up in exceptionally severe
winters, says Moody's Magazine, or when
in summer there is unusually low water
that the railways get for a short time any
considerable part of this traffic.
Although the country is almost every
where on a dead level. construction has
been rather costly. on account OF the
great number OF bridges required. For
example. between Amsterdam and Rot
terdam there are no less than eighty
bridges, Of which eight are swing bridges
Sometimes the bridges required to
cross the numerous and intersecting
canals are practically viaducts OF a mile
or two in length. and long stretches OF
bridgework like that across Lake Pont-
chartrain at New Orleans or the trestles
over Great Salt Lake or the approach
TO Galveston are not infrequent.
All the lines in the country are now
operated by two companies, the Company
for the Exploitation OF the State Railways
and the Dutch Iron Railway Company
The total length of all the lines is less than
I 600 miles. OF which the State operates
about 900 and the Iron Railway Company
about 800. made up Of 2O5 miles belonging
to the State. 200 owned by other Uompa-
nies and 1876 miles OF itR own lines.
There is considerable competition be-
tween the two companies, which, taken in
connection with the sharp competition
OF the rivers and canals, fnsures a very
good service. Each company pays
rental to the State for the lines belonging
thereto which il operates, and each must
share with the State in it's profits over S
per cent. The dividends during recent
years have varied between per cent.
ard per cent, which in face OF the COM
petition, the extremely low rates and the
exceptional handicap under which the
lines are worked is highly creditable TO
the management. In 1908 dividends were
only 3 per cent.
