FoRo's PROFIT SHARING PLAN.

Probably the most revolutionary
plan ever adopted by an American
manufacturer is the novel profit shar-
Ing plan put into effect by Henry Ford.
proprietor of the great Ford Automo-
bile Works. Mr.. Ford contemplates
the division among his employees each
year OF IN estimated profit OF ten
million dollars. The eight hour work
day is to be substituted for the nine
hour day, and the smallest wage TO be
paid is 20 De Ave dollars a day. This
wage IL TO be paid the Iaborer who
pushes a w~heelbarrow or uses a
broom. Other wages are 10 be in
creased in like proportions.
The Ford plan is so novel. so en-
tirely different from any profit shar-
ing plan heretofore proposed. and will
produce such a radical change in work
ing conditions. that II is impossible
10 forecast either its success OF it's
failure, One thing can be safely said.
That is. IL will find few lmitators.
simply because few concerns in the
United States have been so
ly prosperous as the Ford Automobile
concern. While Ford has been gath
ering millions by the simple process
OF making n first rate cheap machine,
he large majority OF the automobile
manufacturers have been hard pressed
TO make any money az all. Very re-
Gently. an authority upon the automo-
bile trade made the positive state
ment that not more than six automo-
bile concerns enjoyed good credit. II
is manifestly impossible for a factofy
operated with small profit or with no
profit TO undertake to initiate the
Ford program, and any program Of
wage division which may not be gen
orally and successfully applied does
not materially help to solve the wage
question.
The Ford plan Ats the Ford case.
sut Il fits few others.

JAMES K. HACKETT WEALTHY AGAINST
 WOMAN'S DESIRE

New York, March 4.-JameS K. Haekett, the actor, ds worth more than million today, but he does not know it.
 He inherdts the bulk of the $2, 500, 900 estate left by Mrs. Minnie Hackett Trowbridge, who died at her home, 72 Park avenue. yesterday morning from the effects of a. stroke of apopdezly suf- fered in 1908.
 Mrs. Trowbr1dge desired above all things that other persons should in herit her property. She had never re- ceived Hackett at her home; she had declined to hold any connnllnica ton with -him; she had expressed totally different purposes and plans for her money, yet for three years other rel atives. her wa1mest personal friends, lawyers and financial institutions who had the management of her property, have known that the actor must inev- ftably receive the bulk of it.
 Hackett will receive the money be- cause he is an uncle of Mrs Trow- bridge and is nearest of kin and enti- tied to a residuary estate beQueathed to her husband, Francis E. Trow- bridge, who died in 191O
 Suffering from aaphasia at tlae time Of her husbandPs death, Mrs. Trow- bridge was declared incompetent. the following year by the courts, which made it impossible for her to make a new will, although in lucid intervals 1t was a. matter of poignant grief to her.

This is the title of the top line act on the new bill which is to open tomorPow at the popular theater and 1t is enough to say that it is one of the most novel and delightful productions and .ssurprises', that vaudeville en- terprises offer.

 The popularity of the curative ben effts of Scott's Emulsion has inspired many limitations, most of which con- tain alcohol, wines or opiates to please the palate and stimulate the spirits, but physicians everywhere insist on the purity and wholesomeness of Scott's Emulsion, knowing that it con- tains only pure wholesome cod liver scientific process in sun1it, sanitary z >oratoF Ns.-Adv.

 'Yes," replied MT. Magee, but had no idea what he had said
 He entered No. and paused in amazement.. Outside one of his win dews Miss Norton stood, rappings on the glass for him to open. When he stood facing her at last the window no longer between, he saw that her face was very pale and that her chin trembled as it had in the station.

Reuton. Back of the desk, on which stood the candle, MT. Max's head and shoulders were visible. He was work ing industriously in the immediate vi- cinity of the safe door Occasionally he consulted the small travelling bag that stood on the desk. Many other professions had claimed MT. Max be- fore his advent into Reuton politics. MT. Bland was nowhere in sight.
 Ne word was spoken in the office. Minutes passed. The bulk at the foot of the stairs surged restlessly.
 Suddenly MT. Max ran out into the center of the office Almost on the instant there was white puff Of smoke and a roar. The inn seemed about to roll down the mountain after all those years of sticking tight The mayor looked apprehensively las the stain behind him. MT. Max ran se the open safe door and came back before 1lIe desk with package in his hand. After examining 1t hastily, MT. Cargan placed the loot in his pocket. The greedy eyes of Max followed it for q second; then he1Fan over and gathered up his tools. Now they were ready to depart. The mayor lifted the candle from the desk. It's light fell on a big chair by the fire, and MT. Magee saw in that chair the figure of Mr. Bland, bound and gagged
 MT Gargan and his compaAion paus- ed and appeared to address triumphant and testing comment in MT. Biand's direction. Then they buttoned their coats and, holding aloft the candle, disappeared through the dining room door
 New Magee knew the moment had come to act. Max he could quickly dispose Of he felt; Cargans would re- quite time and attention.
 He hurried round to the front door of the inn and, taking the big key from his pocket, unlocked it as means of retreat where the men he was about to attack could not follow.
 He heard Cargan and Max on the ve- rantla just above his head. They were spealking of trains to Reuton- In great good humor, evidently, they started down the steps. MT. Magee crouched, resolved that he would spring the mo- ment they reached the ground They were on the last step now!
 Suddenly. from the other side of the steps a black figure rose, a fist shot out and MT. Max went spinning like
