FUN, AT $500 A WEEK

About This
Time

Brooklyn Eagle.
I was behind the scenes at the Orphe-
UNI the other night. A troupe of five ath-
letes from the Island of Malta were
dressed in their tights, ready for their
act, which was not to come on for some
time yet. Every now and then one of
them would throw somersault, or two
would perform some athletic stunt togeth-
er, or the whole five would break out into
a frolic involving some wonderful feat Of
strength or agility. All this behind the
scenes, where the audience could not see
them.
Il suppose you do this to timber up for
your act" I said to one of them.
NO" he grinned, we're just fooling.''
Fun, is it?" Iasked.
Eyes. Good fun. We like to do it.
I stood in the wings and watched them
do their turn before the audience. They
seemed to enjoy it as much as the spec
tators did. When they came off the stage
they repeated several of their feats on
the way to their dressing rooms.
"How much do these five chaps get?" I
afterward asked of Percy G. Williams.
"Six hundred dollars week. he an
swered.
Think Of five young fellows getting $12O
apiece each week for just having fun.
Isn't it somewhat of suggestion to- peo-
pie who go grunting and growing to their
daily work? Possibly a good many of US
would get a lot more out, of life If we
would fall in love with our vocations.

FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Watson. from New York: Brokers who have
watched dealing very closely the past two days
say that good stocks do not come out on drives.
Bear traders knock them of point or two, but
at the decline offerings are small. Explanation
of this is believed to lie in the theory that good
properties have been thoroly liquidated and are
the same time there is no expectation of
away movement What large operators and
representative brokers' look for is trading mar.
ket in which the money will be made on the
long side.
