MAKE LIVING BY THEIR WITS
American Adventures Who Have Got
Wealthy Through Shady Deals
In South America.

! Ever hear OF Jim Dugan OF CuracaoT
Well. Jim started revolution in Cen
iral America some years ago, and was
put out He landed in Curacao with a
stew and IS gold piece. With the
money he bought lottery ticket, and
won a prize. While he still had the
money man who owned a saloon.i
and who was looking for sucker
sold out to him. But Jim has flourish
ed. He got hold of seal belonging
to an American life insurance com
pany, and he stamps his letters with
that, and calls himself the Irish con-
sui. When | was In TO see Jim THE
lime | found that everything passed.
AS currency over his bar He has n
drawerful OF such things as false
teeth and glass eyes, and one morn
ing ! saw man come In and ask for
liquor and then calmly take out his
eye and put 1t on the counter.
But in Buenos Aires there lives ana
Operates an American who is the pro-
totype Of ]. Rufus Wallingford. He
makes n specially of turning out old
masters and selling them at fancy
prices to the wealthy Argentinians,
who like to blow their money for
works Of art. This chap got hold
OF a Frenchman who can paint, and
he does the actual work. and they
ldry them with electric fans. When L
was there the electric fans we're play
ing on three Van Dykes. There was an
elderly woman, bit daft, who fancied
she was stuck on the president OF
Argentina. What does the American
do but get hold OF a man who knows
the old lady, and cause him to per-
suade her that the president is par
| lal to Van Dykes. Soon she gives
the American an order for painting
and he collects the sum OF $4,000,
of which the go-between gets $1,000
and the artists $500. The last report
! had from him was to the effect You
ask about the nutty old lady? 1
am getting afraid she might rub some
OF the paint of that old master, and
this would affect my artistic sensibili-
ties"
This chap has got hold of all sorts
of concessions. When | first knew
him, by the way, he was u colonel In,
the Nicaaguan army. One OF his
most successful ventures was to start
a watch club, in which you pay one
dollar for initiation, and then run the
chances Of getting n watch. Well, the
American showed a high municipal
official in Buenos Aires that in q
watch club there is a pretty big per
centage for whoever is running It,
with the result that 10000 policemen
and other government employees we're
ordered to become members.
