THE LAZY MAN.

Why wasn't his salary raised?
He came into the office like a snail
He left the Office like a greyhound
He never offered to work nights.
He always ate when he was hungry.
He always rested when he was
tired.
He telephoned to his friends during
business hours.
He didn't know whether he was
saving money for the firm or not.
He didn't dress neatly, and yet he
was always afraid of soiling his
clothes.
He trusted mail to the Office boy
instead of putting it into the box
himself
He sealed up envelopes before the
letters had been signed.
He did not try to read up on sub
ject connected with his business.
He never gave his employer any
excuse to raise his salary because he
objected to earning more than he was
paid for

LITTLE THEATER REIGNS.

The theatrical trust is wondering
how it happened. The big theatres
deplore the lack of business and
patronage and the dramatic octopus
is scratching its pate trying to figure
out the why and the wherefore In
this connection the New York World
says with much pertinency:
while theatre mana gers at
tribute me loss of patronage to the
cheap competition of biograph and
photograph, the public is not likely
70 agree with them. The big thea
tricaf syndicates have committed
the triple error of OVERRIDING the
star business. doing 1t badly and
charging too much for 1t. Big re-
wards repaid the ingenuity of the
managers who invented the system
of putting a play on In New York.
advertising it extensively and then
sending out half a dozen companies
to play it through the south and
west. But while they got cream.
those that follow find skim milk.
The provinces have grown wise
There will be a revival of dramatic
patronage in the country when
there is a revival OF dramatic pa
tronage in the county when there
liz a revival of DRANK worth pa

People have indeed grown wiser
The theatrical business is no longer
what 1T once has been and in truth
what it will never be again. The out.

The other day ] heard a great scholar
say that he did not think he should
have been half the student and scholar
he is. if it had not been for a diction-
airy, which a dear old friend gave him.
when he was a little boy, and which
he had kept by him and consulted all
his childhood.
The words of this scholar started

innumerable little influences like this
one which shape our lives. We talk
a great deal about "self-made men,
but who is self made, or anywhere
near selfmade in this world of n1yr-
lad influences influences as COM
pick and intertwined as the wires and
bars of some great mechanism, and as
inevitable as the workings of that ma
chine.
1t seems to, me it would be inter-
esting for all of us to pause occasion
ally and review some Of these infiu-
ences
The man I spoke of, gave emphatic
credit to the gift of the dictionary, but
there were doubtless innumerable 9TH
er influences as important that helped
make him what he is. There was some
great book which he read at just the
right moment. some fine personality
that touched him with its FIRE. some one
gripping sermon: some opportunity TO
do Just the right sort of work all

Because he is so great a man, can
not think of humble things in connec-
ton with him, but in our more modest
lives there are innumerable humber
