Story of Man Who Thought the Finan-
cier Bunko Steerer.
Once when the late Jay Gould went
TO Margaretville, n Y, with his ply
stefan and private car, he called ON his
old friend George Decker, retired
merchant of the village, who was for
merly a clerk with Gould i'll Roxbury.
Every one who knows Mr. Decker we'll
calls him &c, and this was what Mr..
Gould said to him:
Hello, CT | guess you know me
this time, don't you?'
A few years before Decker, while IN
New York on business one afternoon.
was suddenly confronted on Broadway
by dapper, black eyed little man. who
grasped him by the hand, exclaiming
"How are you, Mr. Decker? l am glad
to see you.
Mr.. Decker looked the little man over
from head to foot and hurriedly an
swered:
Eyes, so am l, but don't know you,
sir. Good day.
but, hold up" said the other
"aren't you George Decker OF Margaret
ville?"
"Oh, yes; that's all right" respond
ed Decker, "but l am in too great
hurry to be interviewed today, my
friend. You have struck the wrong
man."
Eyes, perhaps, said the little man
"but my name is Jay Gould. Don't yo'
know me?"
"Jehosaphatl" exclaimed Decker. :"

manipulate the threads connecteu wI--
the arms of the figures. With a little
practice you will soon be able to make
the dummies do many things which
will greatly please you and very much
astonish your audience.
With dark background the threads,
which are run out through the cloth of
the costume with needle, will show
very little, if at all, and this makes the
dancing of the dummies all the more as
tonishing.
OF animals you can have your choice,
as they are all worked on much the
same principle. A bull, which may also
be used as horse or goat, or for that
matter, for almost any other animal by

to cause lots of fun in the clowns comic

and finally tossing the clown into the

body, head and four legs. You see that
the legs are just loosely screwed on to
the body and the head wired into the
body, SO that before going on to the
stage it may be put up or down. Two
strings, as you can see, are all that you
require, fastened on to stick.
Next thing is the stage, which should
be made proportionate to the size OF the
dummies. Picture 9 shows how model
stage, built in the end OF the room
where the entertainment is to be given,
looks to the audience, and picture ID
gives a view from behind, showing a
boy operating one Of the dummies. Ii
more than one dummy is used on the
stage at a time, another boy or girl can
help in the play. The draperies can be
made of almost any kind of cloth, and
the girls can easily fix them up beauti,
fully. Sheets will do because no lights
are used behind the scenes. Picture d
is SO plain that any boy will see just
how the stage is built. The wings "a
may be cut out of stiff paper and paint
ed. They can be fastened to the frame
of the stage at the side with screw
eyes, and two boys can move them bacl
and forth as required. No. 8 may be I

merely dark paper. This rear scene
should always be dark, so that the
threads which operate the dummies may
not show against it. If there is boy in
the club who can paint scenes, he can
make almost any number OF them to
suit various acts. They can be put NJ
ON ordinary spring curtain rollers. In
"Red Riding Hood" the background
may be a dark forest; in "Blue Beard,
a big, dark castle, and so on. The stage
floor should be covered with dark green
cloth or paper. The boy who works fig
ures may stand on chair or box behind
the scenes. The frame of the stage, al
you will see, is very simple, and the
draperies can be tackled to it. The foot
lights can be made of cid tin tomato
cans. The tops and bottoms can bt
melted off and the crease down the side
opened, so that they will make hal
round reflectors. Candles may be usec
for lights. 1t is essential that the foot
light reflectors be made of tin, the IN
side bright and the part to the audience
painted black. Four or five will b.
enough for an ordinary stage.
You may have a boy introduce th'
characters or not, as you see fit. Tit
show will be all the better if accom-
panied by some lively music-jigs ano
waltzes. There may be two or three
different plays. separated by musica
selections or club exercises of ditferen
kinds. While the acts are going on tn
lights in the audience room may b.
turned down as in theater, and nearl.
all of the light will be thrown from thu
footlights ON the stage characters. =

General Freight Agent Sargent OF the
Port Arthur route Is In Chicago endeavor-
ing 10 straighien out the row between the
white and yellow pine shippers. The Ar
kansas line bauls yellow lumber. and has
been making a 22-cent rate TO Chicago. The
Northern lines, which haul white pine, de-
manded that an old rate OF 70 cents be re-
stored. On this point being raised the Port
Arthur people went to the tarin sheets and
found they were already charging a bnlf
cent higher for the same freight from the
same points than was being charged
through St Louis. Now the chances are
that instead OF advancing the rate the Chi
cago men may find the Pittsburg and Gulf
will reduce It's rate sheets to meet those
applying through ST. Louis.
