Hers is not. as TIE Hsis was, an
attractive personality. She is slight
woman between forty-three and forty
seven years of age. ugly according to
Chinese standards, with an unpleas,

fiuence over her is her chief eunuch.

I'm TIE Hsi's day Chang TIE was a
mere nobody; today he Is exceeding
ly wealthy and has for the last two
years been one OF the most influential
men at court. Greatly above the aver
age height, he combines with unusu-
al physical strength reckless buoy
ancy that has enabled him successful.
iy to face many difficult crises. His
influence over the empress dowager Is
such that he has been able almost to
isolate her. TIE Hsi had about her
favorite ladies In waiting Lung Yu

The dowager empress was then liv.

Except on festival days the EN-.

SHARE in PROFITS

greatest men In this country today"
"Mr. Brandeis' plan was simple. aft
er 1t was evolved, and has worked
very smoothly. He divided the bust
ness into departments, each Of which
with the exception of one, contained
a group OF stores. The remaining de-
partment included the central office.
warehouse and shipping end of the
business. One-hah the profit shares
are held by the company. the other
half by the employees, OF which there
are now 900.
At the end of the year the profits
OF each department are calculated.
and, In general. the employees in the
stores Of the departments which have
produced the most net gain receive
the largest percentage of results. But
Mr.. Conner does not believe In car
rying out the scheme literally-that
is. by making employees suffer II in de-
partments which have not shown
large profits-so under the way he
administers the system every one Is
bound to get some share.
The practical results OF the system
were finely illustrated the other night
when at monthly meeting of the en-
ployes' association the sum Of $4,000.
representing exactly one-half the COM
pany's net profits for the past year,
was divided among them. Every one
