The Making Of a Dramatic Critic.

want to read Leasing and Freytag,
Hazlitt and B%runetiere, go read them;
they will do you no harm. 1t is also
useful to know something about

Read George Henry Lewes, and see
how he did it-sometimes with a blad-

axe. Knocks somebody in the head
every day-if not an actor, then the

manager. And if the play and the

Ginaerina Up the Executives.

Inland Stationer-Business Equip
ment Journal: The old time idea Of
driving a business at full speed, by
using all sorts Of stern n repressiVe
measures applied to the minor execu-
tive force down to the office boy, Is
fading. Business is surveyed from a
higher plane, and effects n causes
on the potentiality of workers of all
kinds are more clearly seen and under
stood. One Of the largest wholesale
clothing houses in Chicago Is domin-
ated by a man of unusually
ideas. He is just as eager as any
man to make the big business bigger,
but of his methods Of getting his
desire looks to many men to be oddly
at variance with reason and logic. He
insists that every executive sha TAX
a day off each week, including Sunday,
Of course. He takes the day off him.
self. The executives sometimes pro-
test that they are busy, have the de-
tails of some deal to carry through,
etc., and want to forego the enforced
holiday-the executives are not chargeu
for the holiday, let me say in pass
|ing-but the BOSS will listen to no X
cuse. The day off must be taken on
the day prescribed. His argument,
which is evidently satisfactory to him
self, is, that when his executives are
at work he wants the highest degree
Of concentration. A man has a lin
tied amount Of nervous force. BY con-
serving that force and directing it,
more power is obtained from 1t. A
longtime executive becomes more vol
| liable because he becomes more exper-
linced. He can use his experience more
profitably to the firm If his nervous
force is maintaint j and conserved. The
executives are Fingered UP therefore,
by forcing them to rest up. Not every
business can take so radical a step,
and not every man in control Of big
business would reason and act as this
| clothier does.

War liz Not Comedy.

Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, March 12.-Wheat: Has
been weak all day following a little
strength after the opening. The poor
cash demand both for domestic and ex-
port account was decidedly against the
market and there were no further re-
ports Of winter killing. Commission
houses were good sellers of May and
buyers of July at sc difference. On
the advance commission houses had
wheat for sale, but bought 1t from 90
lac down. The growing prospect for
the winter wheat crop is causing much
bearish sentiment and the failure of
export business to appear on declines
is helping.
Corn: Corn started easier, expert
enced several upturn to 67%c and
closed finally at B@A less for the day.
Prominent buying of May kept the
undertone strong the greater part of
the day and commission houses were
good sellers around top prices. The
future trend Of corn depends entirely
On cash demand and country move
ment. The outside markets have all
experienced an increased demand at
advancing prices. Chicago should be-
gin to feel it soon.
Oats-Lost lac to $50 for the dan
largely in sympathy with corn. Cast
demand was poor, especially eastern
and there were sales of 200, 900 bush els
to go to store. A prominent crop sx.
