Raised His Salary

II. R. Jacobs is a great stickler for discipline, and his rules are very strict and must be obeyed. One of the most rig-id of these rules is to the effect that no one not connected with the theater or the company shall go back on the stag-e without a pass from the house manager. Once Jacobs visited his New York theater, after a trip among his outside houses, and he startedback on the stage to see some one. ín his absence Manager Edwards, of the house, had engaged a neiv stag-e doorkeeper, and the man had never seen Manager Jacobs. "Here, where are ycu going-?" demanded the new man. "On the stage, of course. I'm Mr. Jacobs." "I don't care who you are, you must get a pass from Mr. Edwards. Those are my orders." Instead of angry, Mr. Jacobs went around and g-ot a pass to go on his own stag-e. "What salary do you pay that man?" he asked. Edwards told him and he ordered it increased at once. He admirad a man who knew his business.
