Just why man is a target Of la
tired by "toilers" because the ma
ture of his work compels him to
wear a white collar or sit in a eush-

mystery Leaders do not sense it
but this hatred is passing as more

MYSTERY

No fiction story of an old Colonial
mansion is complete without the dis
covery of a secrete stairway. At
once we picture intrigues, spies and
crime.
We are disillusioned by the reve-
latioh that Thomas Jefferson popu-
larized the hidden staircase-to
keep out of view the servants who in
those days were constantly intrud-
ing with frewood pitchers of wash
water and ashes. The hidden stair
was a virtual necessity. Is there ro-
nance in necessities? Not much.

but gave it's secretary to the cast,

This was one of the first at
tempts of Miss Isabella Cochrane in
directing in her home town and the
results were most satisfactory. The
Club believes that the city does not
appreciate the assistance that stage
manager, Melville, with his helpers,
gives to amateur performers. His
patience and foresight are admir-
able.

SHINES shared control of the iron
and coal industry Of Germany with
his friend August Thyssen and a
ing position in the entire inland nav
igation Of that country. He also di-
rcctcd several big ocean shipping
concerns, owned most of the potash
depQsits of Central Europe, and in
1920 was reported to have purchased
60 newspapers. as well as several
paper mills and pulp factories.
Before the war Frau Bertha Krupp
was said to possess the largest per.
sonal fortunes ip.Germany. She paid
taxes on property worth nearly 3OO,-
100000 gold marks. At that time
SHINES fortune was estimated Il.
"0,000,000 marks, which, according to
competent calculations, increased
during the war and the revolution
to more than 100000, 600 marks.
Great Organizer
Although SHINES proved himself to
be t1'crhaps the greatest Industrial
owanzcr Germany ever produced, he
was never graduated, SO to speak
from the working class. He had the
appearance and bearing of a worker,
and could go about in the clothes of
foreman or a miner without at
tracing attention. He was once des-
cribed. as Ike piece of coal wand
ering about among his own coal
mines
His external appearance was de-
void of pose, and he seemed heavy
and solid. His massive head was
set upon a stocky trunk His black
= hair was cropped close, his face was
pale and expansive; his nose was
decidedly hooked, his eyes heavily
underlined, and his beard as black as
coal. A German newspaper became
popular over night by calling him
the "Assyrian King
Novelties and toys were passion
with SHINES. He would be captiva-
ted in the street by the sight of u
peddlcr q pack, and if he discovered
new A,nd of fountain pen or safe
ty razor among the mans wares, his
excitement was almost boundless.
SHINES, like most men of action,
was q PeISOu VI lew WoTuS except
when asked to discuss his financial
affairs, and then he was verbose to
Il degree that tried the patience of
his auditors. His egotism was no
,ess pronounced than his juvenility
and his love of toys.
Richest in World
He once stated to a French inter-
viewer that he was the richest man
in the world! that he owned all
Germany, and expected in time to
possess Austria and perhaps Hun
gary. They cant get along without
me, he remarked with tragic gray
fity, then added reflectively, neither
5 can England.'
