From the Story of Property Mar
in LeSlie'S MONTHLY

in LeSlie'S Monthly.
That first day I worked like Tro-
jan, only stopping at p. m. to snatch
a bite. At last at SIS p. M. the cur
tain went up on the first act and the
show was on. Everything ran remark
ably well until the scene of the escape
from the prison. In this climax Mon
tie Cristo is thrown in the surging sea-
sewn up in a bag. AS he strikes the
water, he cuts the bag open and climb
ing up on a rock the stage lightning
flashing about him, cries out above the
storm, THE world is mine, mine the
treasures of Monte Cristo," while the
spray of the ocean dashes over him.
Right here was where / struck a Snag
1t was the duty of the property man
to create this spray by throwing hand
fuls of rock salt out from the wings
over the shoulders of Monte Cristo.
That night the stage manager gave me
a pail of salt and told me to throw it
over the hero the moment he mount
ed the rock, so as the curtain, went up,
l stood, pail in hand, in readiness.
Monte Cristo made his appearance and
at the stage managers signal 1 let the
salt gO-not a handful, but the entire
pail Full in the actors face it
struck and straightway from the rock
he tumbled, while the curtain descend
ed amid roars of laughter.

Mr.. Roosevelt's nomination next
year is possible only through the
widespread belief among the rank
and file of his party thath he represents
the wage-earner and producer of raw
material to much higher degree
than he does the capitalistic inter-
ests of the money centers of the East.
To cultivate this idea and deceive
the public reports are being continual
ly sent out to the effect that Wall
street is bitterly opposing the political
aspirations of the President.
That there is complete political
understanding between the jobbers
and stock brokers Of New York Is
financial thorough-fare and the
federal administration has been re.
peatedly demonstrated by the aid
furnished the street from the funds
Of the nation, whenever such aid has
been required.
Not an instanc-. can be cited in the
bublic career of Mr.. Roosevelt since
he entered the White House wherein
he has run counter to the interests OF
Wall street or has inaugurated any
plan Of procedure that did not in its
results contribute directly to the
finances of that money center.-Butte
