A Valuable Suggestion

RENO, THE MAGICIAN, RECEIVED HONOR, FROM INDIANS, WHO MARVELED AT TRICKS

When Mr. Reno was a boy twelve, people, who are very superstitious, .... ' ",a LL. rawanl. he liked told Reno that If he named a while

to do tricks so well that in a short

time he was sent to Algiers m North Africa with a group of people to entertain the French army there. Since then he has traveled all over the world, entertaining people with his many sleight-of-hand tricks as he entertained, Richmond people Saturday evening, cr, 5 Maticians are not an

Ampilcan product. The vocation is

age old, and appears in almost evrv country in some shape or

other, especially In the countries

of the far east. Mr. ueno was very much interested in the tricks which he has seen magicians of imiia and JaDan perform. He also

spoke cf Hudln, the clever French

magician. His First Stage Trick.

The very first trick the boy Edward Reno, ever performed on the

sta??e was done in Boston, when he

made a bird cage seem to disappear. Since then he has traveled about 45 years as a magician. Escaped from Ute Indians.

One time in the year 1897, Reno was traveling in a wagon in the Btate of Utah. At that time the

Utes were on the warpath, making war ngain.st the Spanish forts. His party was overtaken and halted. Immediately Reno began to perform

nnmo of his tricks with their

knives and pistols. The Indians, who are very superstitious, soon ceased to threaten the party and gazed 'at him in wonder. After awhile they said they would conduct him and his party in safety to Bountiful, Utah, the village to which Reno and his party were going. These Indians wished to make him a Medicine Man in their tribe, which they regarded as a great

honor.

In Fawkusky, Okla., Reno was given the title of Medicine Man by the Osage Indians, a very wealthy

tribe of American reumen. Each papoose which is born Into this

tribe, Mr. Reno told the Junior

Editor, is at once the possessor of ?20,000. Likes Pets and Children The duck, the talkative one which appeared and disappeared po suddenly last Saturday evening, has been with Reno for eight years and is named Jimmy. The little white rabbit with Its pink ears, came from North Carolina, and does not have any name at all. Why? Because It came from the south and the southern

rabbit It would die. Mr. Reno studies a greal deal, to keep his skill in his old tricks, and to learn new ones. He said he enjoyed working with children and the children of Richmond we know, certainly enjoyed Mr. Reno.

recently and talked things over, both sides desiring peace. England

has offered to give Ireland the

SHORT CHILDREN FREE Long Ones Pay. The Street Railway in Philadelphia has decided that It will have

no more discussions between tram conductors and the public as to whether a child is of age for full
