began TO sob. But after few days
I again began to implore her to take me
to the ballet school and let me learn the
dancing. This became so iusistent at last
that my mother yielded and took me one
day to the office OF the ballet college to
see IL could become pupil. The teacher
examined me and was pleased with nv
appearance and asked the mother about
my age. When she said that was only
eight years old the teacher explained that
| would need 10 be ten at least and asked
my mother to bring me two years later.
Two years Of waiting were for me like
two decades.

years old, J rushed wildly to my mother
TO take me at once to the office of the
ballet college After having made me
new dress my mother and l. walked
toward the sacred institution for me, Ny
heart stood almost still when we entered.
My mother was pale at the idea OF leaving
me there, and tears filled her eyes. She
loved me SO dearly The director OF the
college having examined me, accepted me
as pupil and I was brought to the liv-
Ing apartments Of the college. Here /

me, yet knew that had to conquer my

The Imperial Dancing College is a kind
Of convent. There is severe discipline
and many lessons besides the physical ex-
ercises and dancing. AT o'clock every
morning We were awakened with the
sound Of q big bell, after which We
dressed ourselves under the supervision of
the superintendent and went to prayers
in the dining room. The breakfast con-
sisted of nothing more than tea. bread and
butter. Then the dancing lessons began
In the. class rooms. This was a large
square room with a chair for each pupil
and a piano in the rear. Each pupil
danced under instruction ten minutes
alone and ten minutes in the ensemble.
This lasted for two hours. At u o'clock
was the lunch, which consisted mostly of
cereals, fruits and vegetables. meat and
FISH being served only during the festival
days and Sundays. After the lunch we
had walk for an hour and then came
the regular lessons Of the school pro-
gramme which lasted until o'clock.
At O'Clock was the dinner and then
lesson of fencing or gymnastics At 9
o'clock we went 10 bed, after having had
the regular evening prayer In the hall,
Every Friday we were brought into the
steam bath. and every Saturday afternoon
we had 10 attend a regular church service
in the chapel OF the college. This was a
regular and strict convent life without
any vacation or any opportunity TO leave
the institution and this lasted six years.
I have succeeded in acquiring wealth
and reputation at home and abroad, yet I
feel that all is as nothing compared with
the reward that | get subjectively from
the dance during my performance 1t is
glorious rapture OF soul-something that
intoxIcates me. For the sake of that sub
lime feeling / will never be able to give
up my dancing.

This stagnation of the mind Is not con

paper-makiug business during the last ten
years than has taken place In oil since the
Standard Oil Company was formed.
Wherever there is competition iu a busi-
ness the cost Of production and the prices
charged consumers will be lower than IN
the case Of any business where a combi-
nation Of firms has secured control of the
market The small business which has to
meet competition is always more efficient
than the large trust which controls the
market and knows in advance just what
profits It can expect.
The trusts hinder advance In the arts.
After they have established a system OF
production and can control the price to the
consumer they are satisfied to let things
stand as they are, and Will not consider
new methods as long as their profits con
tinue to be regular. In this way the prog
ress Of invention has been seriously ham
pered in this country by the trusts. We
are at least five years behind Europe in
our Inventions and progress in the arts.
All our methods are now being taken from
abroad, about five years after they have
been introduced there.
Huge combinations are clumsy and will
not take up original Ideas. They wait to
see how other countries work out the ideas,
and then adopt them, and by the time they
get them into use new methods have been
devised. Men have not the opportunities
they formerly had, and the tendency is for

Why Trusts Are Inefficient.

In the early days OF the Standard on It
had very efficient managers, men who had
been competing In business for years and
who had developed great powers OF eff
cheney. But there are no new names con.
nected with Standard Oil which have come
out since its formation as trust because
there is no competition to develop eff
cheney. and the employees OF that company
are mere machines, carrying on work al
ready mapped out and organized by the
founders. The Standard OIL to-day is not
as efficient as some Of It's rivals, which can
get out their product at cost ag low or
lower than the Standard OIL with all its
resources. There has been little or no ad-
vance in the OIL business.
Comparing the oil business with paper
making, which Is very old business and
where we might expect slower reductions
In prices or cost of production, we find
mat there has been greater Improvement
and greater reductions in prices in the

where 1t consisted OF merely trading. II
Is no longer a trading instinct alone This
instinct Is diminishing as science Is more
and more being applied to business The
test of good business is efficiency. and by
efficiency is meant the degree OF service
any business can be to the general public.

distribution-it must get better and cheap.
er service from the combination, or else
the community will devise means of com
pelling this efficient service.
II Is commonly supposed that the trust
form of organization is the best for most
efficient work, but all Investigations into
trusts reveal the fact that trusts are man.
aged ineffciently. Their success has come
through other agencies than efficiency.
Every great trust of to-day had It's origin
in some special privilege which enabled 1t
to destroy It's rivals. The Standard Oil
Company received rebates from the rail
road company. The Tobacco Trust was
able to employ methods which are not now
tolerated.
The trust form of business does not ed.
vance life, it does not give the individual
opportunity for development, and Its final
result Is general stagnation. Efficiency
does not grow with mere living. There
must De incentive TO eHOrt, and this lu-
cent!ve is taken away by the trust form
Of business. In the enlargement Of any
business there is a point at which eff.
cheney is bound TO stop and begin TO de-
nreciate. business may be too large to
be efficient just as 1t may be too small
The control Of the market gave to the
trusts practically the taxing power, and It
was this taxing power which made them
successful. Take the Tobacco Trust. At
the time OF the Spanish War the Govern.
ment put tax on tobacco, and two years
after the war the Government abolished
the tax. The tobacco company increased
their prices to meet the tax, but when #
was abolished they did not make cor
