ERROR COMMITTED By MANY
Grave Mistake to Leave Dusinsss

Unpleasant Feeling.

The man or woman Of small am
bition and smaller achievement feels
that it Is his privilege and pleasure
always to leave a position he is quit
ting" in a cloud Of unpleasant feel
ing. So long as he remains in his
position he puts UP with unpleasant
ness, stiles his dislikes for the men
over him and does his best to grin
and bear things. When he realizes
that he can take his destiny in his
own hands, and ask to have his name
stricken off the pay roll, he takes
intense satisfaction in airing his preju-
dices and showing every one in the
place just how he feels about things.
He undoes in day all that he has
gained in the months or years that he
has worked there.
The man or woman with ambition
knows that the world Of business is a
small place. Merely from a selfish
point OF view it is essential to maln-
tain pleasant relations even with those
who, .yoM ,teel, have treated you 'un-

Ill treatment while working for them
surely you ought to be more willing to
do so when you have the inner satis-

In fact, You can stretch a point and

NATIONAL-Fred Stone in "Tip-
Ton0

Fred Stone. who occupies a distinct
niche in the armament of musical
comedy stars, comes to the National
Theater this evening. with his latest
success, "Tip-Top," which ran for a
year in New York.
i Tip Top" which was specially con-
.Sstructed for him by Anne Caldwell
and X. H. Burnside, enables him to
display those marvellous protean gifts
for which he stands pre-eminent
among modern entertainers. AS
grotesque dancer Stone starts where
the others finish. AS an exuberant
comedian he has no rival. But it is
because of his surprising individual
stunts that his clientele have come
to idoliZe him as comedian in a
class by himself.
In addition to hundred new panto-
mime pranks and gymnastic achieve
ments he will demonstrate in Tip
Top" his skill as a sharpshooter. The
climax of the second act of the play
discloses him riding erect in Indian
garb a mustang at full speed over
q treadmill. This is the most daring
and dangerous stunt he has ever at
tempted. He makes twelve distinct
changes in costumes and makeup in
.Tip-Top," and his versatility In diff
ferentiating each of the dozen roles
is declared to be little short Of
marvellous.
