Chllar ~ On Playa

Said BARLEY Campbell to New York
interviewer: Some very funny thin rs
have happened with children in plays,
but the worst occurred to q star,
think it was Ada Gray, who was going
to play East Lynne in Richmond. On
her arrival for rehearsal on the morn.
ing of tho performance the child who
was to play Willie was not forthcoming.
The stage manager assured the star
that he had child who had often
played the part before, and that
it would be all right at night.
But the child was i'll and couldn't come.
The manager put his smallest ballet
girl in the bed, but as she couldn't
memorize the lines, he got under the
bed with the prompt book. The star
was staggered when she saw the length
of the child lying beneath the clothes,
but she struggled bravely on. When
the prompter's voice, disguised, but still
harsh and hoarse, came out, star and
audience alike Uttered, but the lady
made an effort and threw herself in
simulated agony upon the bed. The
property man had forgotten to take of
the castors, and away it rolled, leaving
the stage manager and his prompt book
fully revealed. That was the end OF
East Lynne for that night"

Boys should never go through life

they should find out for themselves.
There is always something waiting to
be found out. Every boy should think
some thought that shall live after him.
A farmers boy should discover for him

will last longest in the water, what il the

The most successful of all the man.
ufacturers and vendors of "patent medi-
cines" is dead. Thomas Holloway will
make no more pills and ointment. He
entered life in the first year of the pres
ent century, and departed it about four
weeks ago. He commenced business
at an early age, and continued il until
almost the time of his death. His
father died when he was Q child, but
he managed to acquire sufficient edu-
cation to become private secretary
and interpreter to q London gem
tleman. He was married early. and
found that he needed more money than
he could earn with his pen. An old
German woman, it is said, gave his
mother the recipe for making the
famous pills and ointment, and the
young man concluded there was money
in them" He commenced business
with less than 5000, of which sum he
spent $500 in advertising the first week.
During several years he spent most of
his time going about the London docks
calling the attention of masters Of
vessels to his remedies for the various
ills of life.
For fifty years he kept his medicines
@before the people He advertised
his wares in all the papers in Great
Britain and her various colonies. His
advertisements were modest but con.
spicuous. He paid regular rates, and
asked for no discounts for the reason
that he was O continuous advertiser.
During many years past he paid
$4,000 per week for advertising
his pills and ointment. His prac.
tice Was to pay cash down for
everything Some forty years ago he
was induced by one newspaper pub
Usher to advertise on credit. He was
not able to settle the bill on time, was
sued, and went to Jail. This taught
him lesson that he never forgot. His
dinner often depended on his selling q
pot Of ointment or box Of pills, but
he chose hunger to getting in debt. He
insisted that none Of his employees
should get in debt to tho amount Of q
farthing.
His net annual income for many
years was s250,OOO. His fortune is
estimated at fl0,O0O,O00. II appears
that he was one OF the most benevolent
men who ever lived in England. His
gifts 10 the poor Of London, il is said,
were greater than those Of George
Peabody. He never, however, allowed
Q knowledge Of them to come to the
public. and appeared fearful that some
one would think that he was getting
some gratuitous advertising il On ac-
count Of his contribution to public and
private charities were Published, Now
that he is dead, the public learn Of the
extent Of his benevo,ence. BY his will
he leaves an enormous sum to endow y
