Some of the combinations are very funny. Thus he is forced to become a mirth producer whether he : will or no, but there are some among the men who get their livelihood in this manner who intentionally place the new bills where they will produce the . oddest if but momentary effects. : The reporter watched one: of these knights of the paste pot while he proceeded to cover. up a rather flaming pioture of his satanic majesty with a bill which portrayed a naval officer in full uniform. The first section put on was the officer’s head. As it fitted exactly on to Mephisto’s shoulders the effect was comical.” The next section brought the naval man“down to the bottom of his coat. From:a short distance it appeared precisely as though he was minus his nether garments and stood bare legged in the rising flames which enveloped him to his knees. The billposter chuckled as he surveyed his work at this point and asked the reporter what he thought of it while he covered the officer’s nakedness with a pair of trousers and shoes. The billposter was quite talkative in his way and spoke of tho droll side of his business. ‘‘Did it never occur to you,’’ said he as he picked and .sorted some flaming colored bills preparatory to pasting them on the fence, ‘‘did it never ocour to you what an odd and amusing business this is? You saw me put a uniform on the devil. Funny, wasn’t it? Well, it wasn’t a patoh to the effects produced sometimes. These bills have to be changed nearly every week, and the posters get fixed up in the queerest way. I’ve put angels’ heads on devils and devils’ heads on angels. I’ve put a man with a dross coat on where a ballet girl was, so that it looked as though the skirts branched out below where the coat was. I left it there for a moment while I pasted other bills, and quite a crowd gathered around. A policeman came along, and I had to cover it up. ‘‘Once I had a Salvation Army poster to put up, and when I pasted the top portion of it over a bill advertising the play of ‘Julius Cesar’ the large blue bonnet of the Salvation Army girl fitted Cesar perfectly. It was too bad I had to spoil it;’’ ‘*You see that ballet girl on the fence over. there? I have got to paste this big oat over it. Now watch me do it.’’ He took a section of a bill with the head of a grinning feline on it and placed it so that it fitted to the girl’s shoul: ders. A halo surrounded the cat’s head, and the whole affair had a puss in boots air about it that reminded one of early fairy tales. Near by on tho fence was a heroic size negro minstrel, whose immense teeth showed through lips. which stretched form éar to éar. “Now see how I will fix that fellow,’’ said the man of the brush as he got ready a bill on which a large tiger was represented balanced on a big blue ball. The tiger’s position was on the upper part of the poster. The first section fixed the animal’s head on tho fence, and with the next the body and feet were pasted up. Then appeared a curious effect. Where the blue ball was to be ‘pasted the negro’s face still grinned, but the tiger was now standing on top of the man’s head. “‘That,’’ said the billposter, ‘‘is what L callareal artistic effeot. It isn’t often an artist can create a Samson in almost one stroke of his brush. ’* Following his pasting of the tiger, the man proceeded to put upabear. On the spot where it was to go an overfat baby held up a package of a compound much advortised of late.

Bill posting has undergone a great change in recent years. It is not the haphazard business it once was—that is, it is not allowable for men to go around pasting bills wherever they could find a fence. Most of the big fences are preempted now by firms who pay rent for the privilege, The old sign of ‘Post no bills’ is more potent than it was. Its infringement now may mean a lawsuit. It used to be very much disregarded. There is record of a very literal man who was arrested for infringing’ a sign which read ‘‘post no bills under penalty.’’ When toy judge asked him if he had any excuse to offer, he said he had not ‘posted under penalty. He had posted further along the fence.”’—New York World. rhe " o. Quite an Acquisition.

The first section put on was the officer’s head. As it fitted exactly on to Mephisto’s shoulders the effect was comical.” The next section brought the naval man“down to the bottom of his coat. From:a short distance it appeared precisely as though he was minus his nether garments and stood bare legged in the rising flames which enveloped him to his knees. The billposter chuckled as he surveyed his work at this point and asked the reporter what he thought of it while he covered the officer’s nakedness with a pair of trousers and shoes. The billposter was quite talkative in his way and spoke of tho droll side of his business. ‘‘Did it never occur to you,’’ said he as he picked and .sorted some flaming colored bills preparatory to pasting them on the fence, ‘‘did it never ocour to you what an odd and amusing business this is? You saw me put a uniform on the devil. Funny, wasn’t it? Well, it wasn’t a patoh to the effects produced sometimes. These bills have to be changed nearly every week, and the posters get fixed up in the queerest way. I’ve put angels’ heads on devils and devils’ heads on angels. I’ve put a man with a dross coat on where a ballet girl was, so that it looked as though the skirts branched out below where the coat was. I left it there for a moment while I pasted other bills, and quite a crowd gathered around. A policeman came along, and I had to cover it up. ‘‘Once I had a Salvation Army poster to put up, and when I pasted the top portion of it over a bill advertising the play of ‘Julius Cesar’ the large blue bonnet of the Salvation Army girl fitted Cesar perfectly. It was too bad I had to spoil it;’’ ‘*You see that ballet girl on the fence over. there? I have got to paste this big oat over it. Now watch me do it.’’ He took a section of a bill with the head of a grinning feline on it and placed it so that it fitted to the girl’s shoul: ders. A halo surrounded the cat’s head, and the whole affair had a puss in boots air about it that reminded one of early fairy tales. Near by on tho fence was a heroic size negro minstrel, whose immense teeth showed through lips. which stretched form éar to éar. “Now see how I will fix that fellow,’’ said the man of the brush as he got ready a bill on which a large tiger was represented balanced on a big blue ball. The tiger’s position was on the upper part of the poster. The first section fixed the animal’s head on tho fence, and with the next the body and feet were pasted up. Then appeared a curious effect. Where the blue ball was to be ‘pasted the negro’s face still grinned, but the tiger was now standing on top of the man’s head. “‘That,’’ said the billposter, ‘‘is what L callareal artistic effeot. It isn’t often an artist can create a Samson in almost one stroke of his brush. ’* Following his pasting of the tiger, the man proceeded to put upabear. On the spot where it was to go an overfat baby held up a package of a compound much advortised of late.

Bill posting has undergone a great change in recent years. It is not the haphazard business it once was—that is, it is not allowable for men to go around pasting bills wherever they could find a fence. Most of the big fences are preempted now by firms who pay rent for the privilege, The old sign of ‘Post no bills’ is more potent than it was. Its infringement now may mean a lawsuit. It used to be very much disregarded. There is record of a very literal man who was arrested for infringing’ a sign which read ‘‘post no bills under penalty.’’ When toy judge asked him if he had any excuse to offer, he said he had not ‘posted under penalty. He had posted further along the fence.”’—New York World. rhe " o. Quite an Acquisition.
