Yojik didn't -expect so very much at a

Now. the flrat thing that Is done
1 when a new opera Is to be put on ts
; to call tha members of the company
together and give them their part.
Then Mr. Director ' gets In his work.

chorus will stand over R. U. E. Cut

'you are not a bunch of broilers Just

objections. Don't look ao sassy! Lady
Turks don't get a chance to look aasay.

Mr. Seed got his chanoa to make

Mr. Director beats the piano and gtvei

BIN LODGE ; -
This rehearaal business Is alwaya
good fun, perhaps, for the participants,
but It is not good fun for tna director,
nor for those directly Interested In the
sucoeas of the undertaking. Of oourse,
every principal wants to make a hit,
every' chorua maiden wants to look
pretty, every alnger wants to be In good
voloe, and every comedian onhand with
a new Joke, but tha stare carpenter
and the nTflslca'l director and the costume-maker
are tha bora for whom a
new opera Is no entertainment
Those' who alt In front throughout
the week and laugh at the fun and won
der at the muelo have little thought
of what has - gone before, . know -very
little of the disillusionment lnoldent to
witnessing a rehearaal. And It la great
er when you take part In- one. The
Jokes are old and worn out as far as
the comedians are concerned long be
fore the audience hears them on the
flrat night. The muelo has lost its
new charm for principals and broilers
long before It ripples Into the ears of
an audience.
And It must be remembered that
while the eompany Is rehearsing a
comlo opera every afternoon It la play
ing an entirely different comlo opera
every evening, wlthlfferentmusro,
different plot outline everything dif
ferent. ..These joyous, ononis girls ge$

Abbaya-aux-Bol. which It truly de
scribes a a "nat of memories," but it

well-known American writer, Elwyn
Barron, formerly, dramatic eiitlo ofonT

or "Maidens," a novel that attracted
much attention: of "In Old '-New York,"
which waa written with Wilson Barrett,
and a number of successful plays.

' - ' From th Tobacco World.
Some time ago th grocer of Man
cheater, England, took up -the question
of holding classes for their employes.
Arrangement ' were completed and a
handsome sum of money subscribed.
There were about ISO entries of clerks
who wished to take part. Competitions
were held In parcel wrapping, classify
ing sample of goods, counter displays;
window dressing and various - other
forms of praotlcal work. - The exhibition
was highly successful.
Lot of "schools'1 undertake to teach
you to be a business man for a tuition
fee of $10 or lea. Th proper InstrUo
tlon of a clerk la a smaller proposition
than this and.eould be ru-ylded at lea
eoat. A it Is, th aveftTJealer hires
a Junior clerk at small puj"and with no
experience and haa either to beat into
hla head th rudiment of th business
or else, stand for his mistakes, always
more or less expensive, until he pick
up Almself what he must know.
1 "yhere Is alwaya a fair probability that
aa soo as -fee- hat become worth any
thing -at all he will leave abruptly and
go somewhere else. That means an
other raw hand to be broken in : with
much sweating and tear and with per
haps th same occurrence over again. A
course of .instruction could "be arranged
to qualify up to a certain point and in a
very short time any roung man of aver
age intelligence. v
Beyond that point his progress must
depend on himself. That I true in th
case of a college or. technical educa
tion. - , - -.
- - But by such a system as this, th
knowledge it takes eome clerk six
months or a year to acquire piecemeal
could be gained in a couple of weeks.
It is a matter which ahould com un
der th hand of retailers' association
and which could be put through by
them after an expenditure of consider
able worth but not much money. . .

tion haa arisen as to the probable im

will be worth I J5.7IJ.OO0.000 almost
three times as muoh gold and silver as
there la In circulation, .in bank and in
all - the treasure-house -and mtnta on

It 1 Impossible for th human mind
to comprehend th vastnese of such a
sum of money as $J5.TSi,000,000. But
if anybody wanted to count it all in II

stopping for a moment until th task
was ended, it would take 195 year
B month I. weeks 16 hours IS minutes

Nobody Knows. .. -
Nobody know Just how 'much- Mr.
Rockefeller Is worth at th present
time. It la doubtful whether ho him
self oould give an estimate that waa not
a million or two off the mark. Careful
investigators have computed his weslth
at tm.000,000 : within th past . few
weeks, and this, figure Is believed to
be a accurate a It poestbly can be.
In ltOB Mr. Rockefeller waa worth
$550,000,000, -showing a ' gain for th
present year of (55.000.000. In 100 he
had only t400.000.000, and th year be

are Just a bad. -They are Just as
"sassy" about their clothe. They
want to make hits, too, and realise
that they have to "go' some" to do it
when the women are on tha atage. And
so the handsome young tenor must have
clothes that wlllbrlng 'result In. the
shape of flowers and pink, perfumed
notes from matinee girls, and the rest
of the men must make the adlea of the
audience gasp at their manly beauty.
And then I blush to say It thtre 1
more than clothes. There Is something
that goes inside tha clothe between
the cloth and tha skin, which 1 a decep
tion and a fraud, and sometimes a frost,
which la meant to bo taken by the audi
ence as real fleeh and blood. r
Legs Far From Real.
And, again. It is not entirely the la
dles. Tha . men of the cast, when ap
pearing In tights, are sometimes prone
to deoelv. And there la a woeful
amount of deceit -In a comely pair of
legs when they belong to a gentlemanly
player and are comely mainly because
the eostumer knows his business.
And the comedians! Whereas tha
tenor mut be handsome, the comedian
mustbe tunny. A man may be ever ao
funny in aoheri!tonii-smoV-tltaudlenee
wouldn't laugh. Bverythlng the come
dian wears must be a - mtflt. Coats
must be either too large or too small.
And oomedtana always have ideas about
their clothes one of which is that the
eoeturoer hasn't sense enough' to have
estimate may' often bo regarded with
security aa fictitious, being founded
more on Inflated than actual values-. So
for that reason lt.ls more reasonable to
take th most conservative estimate of
Mr. Rockefeller'a fortune, which places
hi present wealth at $615,000,000 .
- Mr. Rockefeller haa over thirty-three
year 'to live before ha reache hi on
hundredth birthday. During that time
It la reasonable to suppose that hla mil
lions will be entitled to a natural
growth. Just th earn aa every other
person'' -money grows when it 1
Judiciously invested and carefully
guarded. -r ' "' '
From 105 to 1001 th natural growth
of hi million added $56,000,000 to the
principal. Year after year at thla rate
the natural growth should become
gradually larger and larger, until, when
Mr. ' Rockefeller Is It year old, th
mere Interest en hie money- should be
$2,757,000,000 In one year over four
times aa much aa he 1 worth at th
present time.
In 1904, when Mr. Rockefeller did not
have very much more than half a bin I on
dollars to his. name, hla inoom wa
two dollar and a tew cent over every
second of th day. Th averag man
earning li t day can appreciate th dif
ference ther 1 between $1 a day for
six days a week and $1 a second for
seven days n week. - - . ...
it In 193 Mr. Rockefeller's fortune
has reached $16,711,000,000 and he ha
reached hla one hundred birthday an
niversary he will be drawing interest at
the rate of nine thousand four hundred
and ninety-six dollar and - flfty-flv
oent a second. This is more than
great many men succeed In earning In
a lifetime.
Under tb circumstances Mr. 'Rocke
feller has Indeed something to live for
and to look forward to beyond th mere
pleasure of verifying hi doctor dec
laration that he 1 good for thirty-three
years of Ufa. .. i
Can't Spend Hla Money.; (
It Is interesting to note that Mr.
Rockefeller's millions ar rapidly ac
cumulating far -quicker than he can
spend them, and despite 'the fact that
his contributions to churches, universi
ties and numerous educational and phlr
anthroplo Institutions make him one of
the most generous of men.
During 1906 alone hi gift for th
advancement .of educational, charitable
and religious work amounted to .$11,
20,000. . -
Among his moat conspicuous benev
factlons of th past few year may be
mentioned th eighteen and a half mil
