GILL1LAN TELLS OF HIS SUCCESS

former Richmond Newspaper Man Now on Lecture Platform as Head Liner. 11 FROSTS NOW AND THEN. WITH SUCCESS THERE IS ALWAYS A LITTLE DISCOURAGEMENT "SAME OLD STRICK," FRIENDS TERM HIM. Ode to a Teddy Bear. "The shades of niht w re falling fast VheU through it New England ilia;re passed A creature covered o'er will) fur And all its little im-ides wereExccb ior.'' "Thiit's Rob HurdMte's late.-t poctleal effusion,'' .-tateil Strickland V. Clillilaii, a former Rienmond newspaper liian. ;uni now one of the bi-M. l.nown humorists anil lecturers in I country. ":;rrii-K." a.-, he is still familiarly culled by his many loeal friends, sat in the office of County Auditor Cue, his old .-hi" partner, this morning and made Hi" side:; of ;i smail audience ache hy his merry tales and quietly related experiences. After he had left to catch an ea.-.t bound train, one of his old friends remarked, " lie's jtnt the same old St rick. liven prosperity can't chuiiL'e him." Mr. (lillilan is still on the platform Mid a "head-liner" wherever lie appears. He is also under contract to vrite for the Chicago Daily .Sews and the Success mae.a.iuc. Ten cents a word is all thai he noives from Sue cess. "Since 1 made my contract viilt Success the editor lias had to hire tin additional office boy to handle the 'copy' 1 ship into him." he Mates. "I :f't the md hand at most places I appear as a lecturer, but once in a while -I tun tip inrttinst :t frost." Uillilao stated and then ar.ked a local IifiwHpaner man if he reinemherei a: -'.endlnn one of his lectures given in a .small town in northern Michigan. The newspaper man rememhered the incident distinctly- he acted as cheer leader, self-appointed, and had very poor support. "That audience was positively the worst I ever went up aKflin.-t." said "Sfrici; ' reflectively. "They made about as much noise its mjiiio one pounding a fur hat with a lamb's' tail. My friend here was the only. one who got boisterous and I had fo r(hiind hint that unless he cut out the racket he would rpteer himself with the community." AQUATIC PLANTS How Thf7 Mar Be Sncofint nlly Cnltlvntvd In Tuba. Tlur cultivation of aquatic; plants in tubs makes it possible for any one to trj- his skill with them. Of course he peed not expect to bo able to grow the rarer sorts of uyinphnea, but lq? can succeed with many beautiful varieties of water lily and other plants of that class. A half barrel is not very attractive in itself, but Its lack of beauty may be concealed by the plants, or it may be sunk its depth in the earth. Yhen it contains a tine specimen of some aquatic plant we will forget all about Its lack of grace. When preparing for these plants put in rich black mud from the bed of streams or muck from swamps, to the depth of a foot; then plant your roots in it and fill with water. Add enough water from time to time to make up for that which is lost by evaporation and give the tub a sunny place in the yard or garden. If you want to grow more plants than one tub will accommodate, it is a good plan to take four, five, sis, or as many ns you may decide on, and have them sunk in the ground close together, so that the general effect will be something like that which a large tank would give. A better plan, though a more expensive one to carry out, is to have a tank constructed of heavy planks. These should be securely bolted at the ends and the joints made tight by white lead in the grooves. Ironuiongrr. The word "ironmonger"' has as curious an origin as any other word in the English language. It means literally an eater of iron and came to its present use in this way. There was once a law that forbade buying fish to sell again, and the fish hawkers, who ptill carried on their trade In spite of this law, were facetiously termed fish eaters or fishmongers, for, to evade the law, their large purchases of fish were said to be for their own eonsumptiou. Gradually the term monger was applied to other trades, as cheesemonger, nutil at hit jt camo to mean any middle man, a distinguished from a manufacturer, and so was applied to the dealer in hardware. London Graphic. Wfcy He. Waa K looted. A manufacturer in the north of England expected, to be beaten at the polls by his own employees, with whom lie was extremely unpopular. To his surprisehe was returned. His puzzled agent sought for an explanation. "How is it," he asked o-;.- of the workmen, "you voted for your i ;iter when you nil hve sueh a bn-1 opinion of hirn?"

SOUSA WILL GET OVATION TONIGHT Hundreds of People Will Greet The Great March King When He Appears. PERSONNEL OF THE BAND. THERE ARE SIXTY PEOPLE IN THE BAND AND FULLY FIFTYFIVE OF THESE ARE ARTISTS IN THEIR LINE. At one o'clock this afternoon the great Sousa lnuul arrived in 'the city front Torre Haute where it played la.st night. The company numbers over sixty people, fifty-five of which are artists. An idea has been current that John Thilip Sousa is not with the band on this tour. This Is erroneous as Mr. Sousa is in , he city and will direct his great band this evening at the coliseum. The sale of seats has been large and a treat ovation will be accorded the popular march composer w.ieu he steps onto the stage this evening. There are several unique instruments in the hand, several of which will be heard in Richmond for the first time and all members of bands in this vicinity will be interested in seeing and hearing them. The Kr li ninl Man Compared. If it were possible for a man to construct a globe Stx) feet in height-much less than twice the height of the Washisgton monument and to place upon any portion of its surface au atom one four thousand three hundred and eightieth of an inch in diameter and one one hundred and twentieth of au inch in height, it would correetly denote the proportions man bears to the gigantic globe upon which he stands. A Klinf Duel. At some amateur theatricals in Victoria two people in the stalls, whenever the heorine was kiss.i, kissed each other loudly :iud with ostentation. It turned out that the man in the audience was the husband of the heroine, who disapproved of her theatrical tastes and. with the help of an amiable friend, took this way of reproving tlieui.

PULLED HIS RAZOR ON BROTHER-IN-LAW

As Result Charles Emory Under Arrest. Is Charles Emory, colored, is under arrest charged with assault and battery on his wife. After he had administered to her a good beating his brother-in-law took it hand in the domestic trouble. Emory pulled his razor on brother-in-law, who promptly took to the clear. The case? will be given a hearing tomorrow morning in the city court. li rin :i t an.oni. Two ceremonies in Burma mark when childhood stops and manhood or womanhood begins. The boys have their thighs tattooed and the girls their ears bored. The boring of a girl's ears is commenced with a needle, and the puncture is gradually increased until the tip of the finger can be introduced. The enlarging process is the one carried out in the Polynesian Islands, where a native can carry a good sized knife hanging in the lobe of his ear. The ugliest mutilation is that of the Eskimo, who punches a hole in his cheek end puts a bone stud into it. The Burmese boy suffers grent pain from the elaborate ornamentation of his legs, which are decorated In blue and red patterns. Orpran Clrl intern In England. By turning the handle of an organ the Italian in England obtains nearly eight times as much per week as be can earn in Italy, more than four times as much as the English farm laborer and nearly three times the pay of the policeman who moves him on when requested. Thousands of skilled artisans who have serve! apprenticeship as carpenters, painters and joiners got only half the organ grinder's pay. for the Italian reckons It a very poor week indeed if he maks less than $15, and he often gets f 17 ."0 to or more.
