INTERVIEW WITH Rev. h. OHAs.
POPE.
(speci.l for .he RichuOnd PIAEEr.l

Especial for the Richmond PLAEKr.)
Rev. Pope is one OF the most sue
cessful Stereepticon lecturers in the
country and there is only one colored
man in this country to-day that lee
lures to more paid admissions than the
Rev. Pope, with the exception OF Prof.
3 ooker 7. Washington
He has travelled across the CONT
nent twice and has lectured both in
the United States and Canada. He ia
not well known TO the newspaper
world, because he always avoids being
doomed by other men and even toot-
ing his own hocn because be thinks
that men made by other men don't
last long. He believes that men should
keep out Of print unless they have
s. netting to say that will benefit man
kind. II there is anything good la >
man the newspapers will find It out
time enough.
The representative of the PLANET
called to Rev. Pope's bosrdiDR-house
and asked him that be mighs give q
brief sketch of his success as leetur-
er for the benefit of the many readers
of the PLANET and especially for the
young men and women OF the race.
Mr.. Pope kindly received us with
pleasant smiles and friendly hand

Mr.. Pope--"As = general thing
don't remember being interviewed at
all, except on one occasion, in small
town in Missouri, and that was by q
good old sister, who mistook ma for a
'Hoodo Doctor that had worked of
some bad medicine on her. She was a
reporter for the Black News, which
went to press every ten minutes"

you in your businessp
Yes, it helped me to walk out o.

HER LITTLE SCHEME.
It Made Her Husband Happy for
the Rest of His Life.
How Robert MaxfgOld Lost HIS Bet-
ter Half, = Woman whose Jeal-
Ousy Had Made Everybody
UReOmfOrtable. ~

Mrs Maria Marigold would have been
happier woman If she had not been
SO suspicious Of her husband. He, good,
honest soul. gave her no cause for jeal-
ousy-he was. in fact, quiet, sleepy,
steady-going man--and yet she could
not bear him even to glance at another
woman.
She had pretty servants. says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. because she
thought that Robert had better be at
tracted by pretty face within her do
main than out of it, and she was fu-
riOusly suspicious because he was never
out late.
Hes running after those girls" she
said TO herself score of times an hour;
and yet, although she watched both her
husband and them very closely, she
never saw the slightest sign of familiar
ity-
Still waters run deep" she said to
him, and he innocently asked her IL she
thought it was, correct, as he had no
ticed. that the water In the amber Ohio
was both still and shallow.
He had a great respect for her wis
dom, but this time she did not deign
TO explain, but walked away, and with
a scornful sniff remarked:
ut is easy to turn the conversation
when it's not to your liking, isn't it?"
Really, Maria, 1 don't know what
you mean" he said.
'sDon't want to know" she snapped
as parting shot, and for the rest of the
evening watched his every movement
through the keyhole.
| He took up book and began TO read
and did not put IL down until nearly
midnight, and this made her more sus.
| picious than ever. So when he was
| asleep she stole down into the DRAWN q.
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1899-10-28

room and found the book, and COM
menced to read it.
1t was the "Ingoldsby Legends" and
she did not hnd much TO feed her jeaI
ousy In it untilshe came to little tale
that told Of a lady dying of quinsy, and
as soon as her husband thought her too
far gone to recover he offered marriage
to her maid.
This is what fascinates the BRUTE"
she thought. HE wishes me to die like
that poor dear seemed to be doing, and
then he'd marry again. The low, cum
ming, deceitful wretch" and weeping
at the thought she went upstairs and
woke poor Robert up with her wild
sobs. Then she thought out plan, and
next day kept to her bed, saying that
she was very i'll. The doctor could not
find the seat of the illness, but the lady
rapidly became worse, and insisted on
Jane. the prettiest of her maids, and her
husband being always in the room with
her.
Now" she told herself, 'as soon as he
thinks I'm too far gone to recover, he'll
propose to the mink, or at least make
love to her." and that evening she lay
apparently unconscious.
By and by her husband came and
looked into her face and. shook his
head and then called Jane. They tried
to arouse her, but she took no heed.
Its all over, Jane, I'm afraid" he
said, with sigh.
Poor dear, yes" sighed Jane.
''She was very good wife to me in q
way" he said.
Mrs. Marigoid listened intently.
"And very good mistress, too. ST."
said Jane.
"Only terribly jealous" he said.
"And dreadfully prying," said Jane.
"Ah, jane" he said. II shall never
marry again"
"Oh, In good time, sir" said Jane
and Mrs. Marigold's ears turned with
| anger.
mot for all the money in the world, p
he said; she's been a lesson to me, and
then Mrs Marigold sprang up in bed
but instead of. like the lady in the ''In
gotdsby Legends reviving with the
shock. she died, the staying in bed and
fasting having weakened an over
strained heart.
And Robert Marigold, true to hil
word, never married, and lived happily
| ever after.
