WASTING TIME OVER DETAILS
Writer Points Out Mistake Made by
Many Men Who Occupy Executive
Positions.

Many man In a high executive po-
sition impairs his efficiency by trying
to do work that low priced subordi-
nate could accomplish Just as well.
Some managers are proud of calling
themselves masters Of details when
really the details have nearly mas
tered Them" says writer in System.
81 remember the treasurer of a bank
note company, who was forever I'm.
dertaking to show HE clerks how much
better he could do their work than
they could. One day the president Of
the concern took him by the shoulders,
backed him into his private Office,
rolled an armchair to the window, and
said solemnly: Your business here in
office hours is to sit in that chair and
think. That is what you are paid for
so do it'll
HE had the right experience of de-
tail, but instead OF using 1t to propel
his train of thought he kept 1t running
back and forth over it's own little, linn
tied track, and his activity didn't get
him anywhere"

LIKE "ANGEL AT THE GATE"
Swlnburne in Gorgeous Array, APP
peared to Simple Villagers as
Flaming Apparition.

An amusing story of Swinburne is
told by Edmund Gosse. At the age Of
twenty-three Swinburne was sent to
study history under Bishop Stubs,
who was then in charge of country
parish in Essex. He arrived there on
Saturday and was excused attend
ance at Sunday morning church on the
ground that he must be tired with his
journey.
He had breakfast in bed, but finding
Il glorious morning he arrayed him
self in scarlet slippers and light
crimson dressing gown, sauntered into
the garden and leaned pensively over
the gate, with his red hair flaming bril-
liantly in the sunlight.
The church bells were ringing and
the parishioners had all to pass the
parsonage gate to get to church. But
none Of them dared to pass the fam
ing apparition, and all came to halt.
The church bells stopped, but at the
instance of the vicar, who could not
believe that all the parishioners had
deserted him, were rung again.
At last the boldest man in the vii
lage bolted past the gate and the rest
stampeded after him, Swinburne gaz-
ing at them in quiet wonder at their
strange method Of going to church,

SLAVERY or COLONIAL DAYS
More Than Half = MILLION Whites
Were Held in Bondage During
That Period.

Could we draw the curtain which
conceals the life OF prehistoric people.
we should see that the servant prob
lem is as old as the human race. In
deed, If 1t we're possible for extremes
to meet, cave-dwellers and denizens of
twentieth century sky-scrapers would
doubtless converse alphabetically on
this never-ending problem. Its exist
ence is due to the universal desire of
man to use the strength OF others for
his own profit and pleasure-an I'M
changeable trait Of human nature.
During the colonial period of our
history service was performed in the
main by two classes-the negro slave
and the indentured white servant,
writes Prof. Marcus w. Jernegan in
Harper's Magazine. The white serv-
ant, semi-slave. was more important
In the seventh century than even the
negro slave, in respect to both num-
bers and economic Significance. Per-
haps the most pressing Of the early
needs OF the colonists was for a GER
tain and adequate supply of labor. 1t
was the white servants who supplied
this demand and made possible a rap
i'd economic development, particularly
of the middle and southern colonies.
In 1888 there we're $4,000 of these
semi-slaves in Virginia, composing
about one-sixth Of the population,
while nearly two-thirds Of the immi-
grants to Pennsylvania during the
eighteenth century were white serv-
ants. Every other colony made great
er or less use of them, and it is likely
that more than half million persons
were Of this class during the colonial
period.

William Dana circuit, whose new
novel. THE Moth" has just been pub
lished by the Harpers, is noted for his
extreme diligence in verifying all his
torical facts that appear in his novels.
When writing one of his earlier nov
els, THE SPELL" he made special
trip to Florence in order to verify GER
tain illusions and locations, One of
the first. pilgrimages was to San Do
menico to find the ancient inscription
upon the wall, which Helen Armstrong
points out to her husband in the first
chapter. Says the author, Il had never
been able to discover where obtained
this data SO was particularly anxious
to verify it. One morning, accompanied
by Mrs. circuit, set out on what SEEM
ed q hopeless quest. We located the
old Etruscan wall, with its curious
marks, but no legends. Finally we
came to some faring posters announ-
cling an auction sale, and beneath
these, when pulled aside, we found
the Latin words, cut deep in the
stone"

Germans Slot Literature.

Penny in the slot literature is the
latest thing in Germany. A firm OF
publishers at Leipzig has patented an
automatic machine which gives q
choice of dozen small paper covered
Volumes which are displayed behind
glass. On strip of paper across
each volume is printed brief descrip-
lion of the book, and coin in the slot
does the rest. These automatic ma
chimes are to be placed in hotel lob
bies, waiting rooms, theater foyers and
other public places. The hope is ex-
pressed that as the books offered are
carefully selected and by flrst-class au-
thors the venture may have benefi-
cial educative effect upon the masses
and thus counterfeit the influence Of
the cheap and trashy literature with
