Mr.. MOrean's Eyeslght.

For q man Of. his age Mr.. Morgan
has remarkable eyesight. When re Ia
at his desk he rarely has to put on his
glasses to read letters or printed mat
ter. He holds the sheet about eighteen
inches away. He Is very rapid
reader and he wades through his cor
rcspondencc at high speed. For many
years he has had tho same stenog-
rapher, James Webster King. Mr.. King
IL English. white-haired, about nifty
eight years old. quick Of speech and
quick OF foot. He occupies q desk In
the outer office among the rest Of the
clerks, but he has a private office up
stairs. When Mr.. Morgan wants to
dictate anything King hops down from
his STOOL marches into the chiefs room,
lays his notebook on the top OF Mr..
Morgan's rosewood desk and the banker
fires away. Mr.. King has another
sterographcr. man about twenty-five
years old. to assist him. Most OF Mr.
Morgan's letters are redictated by King
to this second stenographer. but the
private and personal matters are
handled entirely by King.

Morgan Newspaper Route.

Two newsboys serve the House Of
Morgan. One comes every afterno Don
about half-past 3 o'clock. makes the
rounds of the private offices. and then
the rounds OF the general office. He
delivers between forty-hve and ffty
papers In this one bank. The partners
and the clerks have a catholic taste,
for there Is not one evening newspaper
that Is not delivered In the Morgan cs.
tablIshment. This newsboy. who is
about thirty-five years old. has been
delivering papers there for more than
ten years. Until recently he had
monopoly Now one other newsboy
comes in every afternoon. He delivers
his paper to one Of the Junior partners.
This junior partner Is faithful to his
old newsboy friend. and that Is the only
reason why the newspaper monopoly
has been broken In the House of Nor.

An OLD TYPE OF PLAY,

Since drama was. dramas have
been written that showed scenes from
the lives of the characters at different
periods-as children. as youths and
maidens. as fathers and mothers, Is
old men and women. Many dramatists
have revived the form. But In our
time none so successfully as has the
author Of "Milestones." Mr.. Sheldon's
new play. The High Road" In which
Mrs. Fiske Is appearing, is excellent,
but lacks. 1t seems to me. the artistic
quality 50 remarkable in "Miiestones."
The modern method of writing a play
is to condense 1t as compactly as pos
sible with reference to time. l rcmem-
Der hearing some one say. "Two years
Is too long between the third and
fourth acts. Make 1t two months" y
play in which the action is consecutive
Is much In favor. all the events. for
instance, taking place on the same day.
So that both The High Road and
"Milestones" are probably onl!' eXcep-
tions that prove the rule. doubt II
the form Is ever revived frequently.
