A PLEA FOR THE EMPLOYER

A Message to Garcia; Being a Preach
ment by Ebert Hubbard. The Rovcroft
shop. East Aurora, New York.
AS Mr.. Hubbard himself states that
this honily, being first printed in the
Philistine for March, caused the edition
to be exhausted within three days after
IT'S publication, there is little for the re-
viewer to say farther than that Mr.
Hubbard has here written something
really good, but disfigured by over much
OF slang. His plea is. in brief, for a
"stiffening of the vertebrate" which will
cause American young men and women
TO be loyal to trust, to act prompt
ly, concentrate their energies: do the
thing-'carry message to Garciai,"
MIR. Hubbard turns from the ..maud-
lin sympathy which is expressed for
the denizens of sweatshops and home
less wanderers in search of honestsem-
ployment, to the employer. Nothing is
said about the employer who grows old
before his time in vain attempt to
get fro%sy ne'er-do- wells to do intelli-
gent work: and his long. patient striv-
ing with help that does nothing but
loaf when his back is turned. In
our plying, let us drop tear, too, for
the men who are striving to carry on a
great enterprise, whose working hours
are not limited by the whistle, and
whose hair is fast turning white
through the struggle to hold in line
dowdy indifference, slip-shod imbecillty,
and the heartless ingratitude, which but
for their enterprise, would be both
hungry and homeless"

legitimate has never been known to
possess. A patron who does not like
one act is sure to see something en-
tertalning in the next, and the variety
which comes with new faces and new
turns" is exhilarating. And it doesn't
make one think. American people are
too busy to think just now, and hence
the crowd one sees going into the yau-
devllle theater.
Almost everybody in Worcester is
familiar with the interior of the dainty
little vaudeville house, the Park. But
very few have much idea of what goes
on behind the curtain, or before the
opening performance of the week be-
gins. It is an interesting bit of or
ganization to watch, however, almost
as interesting as the show from the
front, but the region known as back
is as hard to reach as the gates of
heaven, guarded as it is by doorkeeper
stage manager and the other attaches
Of that part of the theater. The ac-
tors, the attaches of the house and now
and then an occasional friend of the
manager, are the only ones who have
access this place.
But ttG5egin at the beginning comes
the selection of the actors. In the case
of the Park theatre, this is done in New
York, where Messrs. Shea & Wilton,
the managers, have an office. Mr. Shea
goes to New York two or three times a
week, where he receives the actors who
are after positions, sees what they can
do, and if satisfactory engages them.
Their contracts are made out and
signed and the dates arranged. The
salaries paid to vaudeville performers
vary according to the ability of the in
dividual, and range in Worcester and
Springfield, where the other theatre of
Shea g. Wilton is located, from $25 a
week for the very lowest up to $125 for
the best performers.
On Mondays the stage manager re-
ceives a list of the acts for the week
from the manager, and then assigns
the dressing rooms according to the
quality of the act There are seven
dressing rooms at the Park theatre,
two on the stage floor and five under
the stage. The stage dressing rooms
are counted the best, as they are easier
of access and larger than those under
Meath At the. same time the stage
manager gives the scene plot for the

you see," said the doctor, after a
long pause tom was the only child of
high, naughty family by the name of
Orme. Tow was well educated, and he
was a true gentleman. Well, when
Tom was II years old his father lost
every cent in a speculation he had on
hand. and with ruin staring him in the
face he killed himself leaving Tom
and his mother penniless. His mother
died soon after and Tom was left alone
in the world, without money, without
friends.
CAT first he knew not what to do, but
as he had always thought he would
like to be doctor he came to the med
zeal college which l was attending at
the time and was given a chance to
work his way through. He was great
favorlte with all the fellows at school
and we saw that he did not lack for
anything. The professors all liked Tom
and gave him many lift. After Tom
had taken his course, also many of the
prizes, and received his diploma, he be-
gan practieing. He got up good prac-
tice and was on the high road to wealth
when the turning point in his life came.

and there is never an abundance. Later
when the cold of autumn reminds the
birds of warmer regions to the south
they begin their transitory visits to
nearby covers, and the fun is on in
earnest. WoOdcock shooting here
abouts is not to be compared with the
sport to be found throughout the Con-
necticut valley in New Hampshire or
in sections of Connecticut, vet there is
sport enough and of the proper sort.
Little parties. pairs, trios and quar-
tets, are now forming for the grand
march into the brush, which will begin
at sunrise Friday morning. Sportsmen
are selecting partners for the opening
day. Meanwhile the hammerless is be-
ing brushed up and given a drop of oil
and the dog knows once more what it
is to stand his bird in preparation for
the slaughter to come. Likewise, too,
the gun stores and dealers in cartridges
are doing considerable business.

The scenery of the vaudeville theatre
does not differ much in kind and ar
rangement from that in any other the
atre, though there is not so much ne
cessary. A couple of interiors and ex-
tariors, with the flies and wings are
all that are absolutely necessary,
though the Park is equipped with an
elaborate set of both kinds, with houses
and trees galore
The properties of the different ac-
tors are put away in the property
room, or in the dressing rooms, as far
as possible, though some of the stuff is
so bulky as to make the stage manager
lose a great deal of gray matter in ar
ranging places for it. The actors either
come in with the properties or after
wards, and their arrival always means
more trouble for the long-suffering
stage manager. Each performer thinks
he is the star of the show and wants
the best dressing room. The only thing
for the stage manager to do is to tell
him he can't have it.
The stage managers duties are multi
tudinous, He has all the management
of the stage; he has to pacify the ac-
tors and more particularly the ac-
tresses, acts as "supe" if occasion de-
mands, sees that order lis kept behind
the scenes, and tries to be about every
where at once. At the Park Theatre
the stage manager, Mr.. Burke, is ably
assisted by the count" and the .lone-
some one" who take great many of
his duties off his heavy burdened
shoulders.
The time for the afternoon perform
ance arrives. The house is lighted, the
order in which the program shall run
has been decided with view to get
ting rid of waits between acts. the peo-

but to come to the point of my
story. Miss Brascombe had met with
an accident, had dislocated her should
er, and severely sprained her ankle. At
ter she had gotten better. and Toms
services were no longer required, he
was asked if he would not come to din
ner some day. OF course Tom readily
accepted and after that day he asked
permission of Miss Brascombe to call
again She gave her consent and from
then on Tom was a frequent visitor and
was always welcomed by Mr.. and Mrs
Brascombe and by Miss BraScombe
herself. Things went on in this WY
for some time and Tom began to think
seriously of Lee Brascombe. He loved
her and he determined to tell her so,
and ask her TO become his wife. Soon
he called at the Brascombe home and
finding Miss Brascombe by herself told
her the sweetest story man ever told
woman She asked for time to con-
slider it and he with this little hope,
was lifted into the seventh, heaven Of
bliss. But when in one week he called
for his answer she put him off, and it
was the same for some time, until poor
Tom was well nigh crazed with love
and disappointment.
"Then one day the truth came out and
struck Tom with a terrible blow. one
that he never got over. She wrote him
letter telling him that she did not
love him, and that his attentions were
annoying, and that he would please her
by disseminating them; neither did she
wish to see him again, and bid MIN
farewell forever
1.-THE blow struck home, for he loved
her dearly He tried to bear it like q
man, but il was Of no use, He sought
the society of other young ladies', but
her face was before him always.
He told no one of his sorrow. until
one night after she had gone away With
