My hands I use to labor with in 'the Interest of my eanployer, my feet are employed In much the same maimer, and my brains are nsed to think of new ideas and ways and means to further my employer'o interest at all times. Neither heat nor cold, snow nor rain nor the darkness of nl^bt prevent me from looking after his interestfi. If clicumatances depiand, I -work nights as well as days, and I know not the meaning of the word fatlgne. . ^ ^ I do not agree to work any certain number of hoars. I work eight, twelve or twenty-four, as the occasion demands. My work Is never flnlahea until I can assure myself that It is done properly, -ilv vocabnlary does not contain, tie word "can't." 'Whether I am paid forty or one hundred dol- lars per week, I always try to earn more than I am paid. I realize I am the life and heart of the show. It la easy enough for the manager back with the show to take in the money if I bring it to the door. I never sit In the hotel or theatre and tell funny atoriea when I have my duties to perform.
