THE FOLLY OF FAILURE,y

Element weather, there was a
 bod audience to greet Judge J. N. Tillman, who delivered a Mcclure to Ozark Normal students
 bn Friday night of last week.
 E The lecture was one in the Regular co urse for the present Eerm an d it was an intellectual S Yeast for both students and par ents. Everyone had expected 4something good from Judge Erillman on this occasion, for the Eact that he is an orator and lec- Murer of exceptional ability is well know own, yet so well did he .1Aalndle his subject, "The Folly of hilure," that he surpassed the Expectations of all present.
 \ The following are some short hand photographs taken from his lecture:
 ' "To me the most interesting person in the world is the stu dent. l admire him and envy him. In him is the raw mater ial out of which may be made future master of the world. There are two things that make him interesting. First, he is sealed book; you cannot read him. He is full of mysterious possibilities; full of hidden prom ise; full of dormant energies. He may be grand prize in the human lottery. Therefore, he is worthy of attention and study. And he is also young, and for grown ups, youth has a char m that is peculiarly fascinating.

There are certain signal smokes of failure, that can be easily identified-when a boy is acquiring a morbid cigarette habit, he is sending up a reas- onably certain signal smoke of failure. When he has acquired confirmed pistol habit, and goes about shooting the atmos- phere full of holes for the pur- pose of disturbing people, he is sending up still more certain signal smoke of failure.

"What is usally called genius IS mere labor. Genius is not in- spiration, it is perspiration.'

Busy men are happier than idle men. The world applauds the success ful man or woman. It treats with rudeness the failure.''

PLASTER FIGURE ERECTED

Tomorrow. Tuesday and Wednesday will
see the casting of the last three pieces of
Vulcan. and on Wednesday the shipment
of the statue to st. Louis will begin.
Already about half of the figures is COM
pleted and ready to be placed on the
cars. If possible three fourths of the
figures will be sent at the same time.
and the remainder will follow as soon as
the pieces are cast. cleaned and fitted.
The Commercial club committee is hav-
ing the plaster cats of the figure erected
in the yards of the Birmingham Steel and
Iron company The plaster will be paint
ed black and 1t will be impossible for
any one to tell the difference between it
and the iron statue. The plaster and
iron casts are exactly the same size, and
the iron conforms exacrIy TO the lines of
the plaster cast so that the effect will
be the same.
The club intended setting the iron man
up here. but the time is so limited thai
it was found impossible. The statute has
to be In St. Louis by April 20, and that
will make 1t necessary for the last piece
to be shipped to st. Louis by next Satur-
day night, or at the very latest, Monday,
April IS. 1t will require about five cars
to carry the statute to st. Louis as 1t
weighs about 10000 pounds.
A small admission will be charged to
charged to see the plaster statue here
in order that more money may be raised
for the Vulcan fund. AS Is well known,
about $4,000 more is needed. and the time
is growing short for collecting it. Pres
ident Jackson urges that every one go
down to First avenue and Fifteenth street
and get speaking acquaintance with
Vulcan so that they will recognize him
when they reach st. Louis.
A letter was received yesterday from
George II. Clark, who has charge of the
Alabama mineral exhibit at St. Louis,
stating that the first three cars of the
exhibit had been received. and that the
work of unloading and placing had COM
menced He states that everything will
be properly placed and ready several days
before the fair opens, and that every
thing except Vulcan will be in the fair
grounds by next Wednesday. There are
