IS ONLY SHORT TIME
FOR SECURING SEATS
There Are Plenty Of Good Ones
Still Available for the MAY
Music Festival.
A BIG SALE Is NEEDED.
SUPPORT OF THE ASSOCIATION
AND AVOID POSSIBILITY OF A
DEFICIT.

The May music festival will take
place on Tuesday and Wednesday even
ings and "Wednesday afternoon OF
next week. and the time for securing
reservations to the concerts is there
fore limited. Single admission tick
cts. for either of the three concerts
may be reserved now at the warerooms
of the Starr Piano company. Though
there has been very satisfactory sale
up to the present, there are still many
desirable seats left and Richmond peo-
pie especially should avail themselves
of the opportunity of securing them.
Whether the festival, is to become a
permanent feature of Richmond's So
cial life depends almost entirely up
on the patronage of Richmond people.
It is still necessary for more seats TO
be sold in order that the festival asso-
citation may come out of the undertak-
ing this year without deficit. The
executive boards hopes that the sale on
Monday will be of such size as to in
sure the financial success Of the festi-
val.

Men travelling Out of Indian

Played With Soap.
ENLARGING OF PICTURES.
AMOUNT GOUGED FROM EACH IN
DIvIDUAL NOT LARGE BUT THE
PLAN is A VERY PROFITABLE
ONE.

Richmond housewives are warned
to look out for set of grafters who
are travelling out of Indianapolis sell
ing soap. The soap is toilet article,
there being twelve cakes in box, for
which they charge fifty cents. AS
the same price prevails at the local
right here is where the slick agent
gets in on the deal. He offers to en-
large a picture free" and about seven
out of every ten women bite at the
bait. They pass out a photograph
from the home album, the agent agree
ing that the picture must be equally
as good in every respect, as the sam
pie he carries, which is very good.
In few days another slick indi-
vidual comes along and delivers the
soap, collects his fifty cents. He is
collector and knows nothing about
your picture, the work, he says, being
done in Toledo O. He has samples
of frames which he offers to sell you
at a bargain, charging meanwhile
more than the same frame could be
procured for from your local dealer.
Six out of every ten women grab at
this scheme, through the oily talk of
the agent, and he takes $50 of your
and passes on, having secured
$3.50 from you. Then you wait for
your picture. When it comes it is
poorly done. Having paid nothing
for the work you have no kick COM
ing and you have to be content with
a dozen bars of cheap soap, a cheap
frame and mighty poor picture for
which you are out in cash, $3.50.

the number of school children in the
state. but not as heavy a gain as that

show that there was marked decrease
in the number of children attending
the country and town schools and a
corresponding increase in the children
in the city schools. indicating that the
farmers are sending their children to
cities in order that they may derive
benefit from what they consider bet

The total number of school chill

Good story Of Dean swift, Told by the
Man Who Ate Asparagus stalks.

Perhaps the greatest Crouch Of 1T.
erature was Dean Swift that whlmsi.
cal misanthrope. who evinced a NOR.
bid delight in humiliating his social
Interiors, because he himself. when
young, had been outrageously affront.
cd by his superiors.
Swift had acted as private secre-
tary 10 Sir William Temple. Once.
when Sir William was confined to his
bed with gout, the king. William III,
visited him. and Swift oHiclated as his
maiesty's guide through the gardens
of Moor Park The king taught the
secretary how to cut asparagus In the
Dutch way, and Swift had also the
felicity of seeing him eat the vege-
table.
Years afterward, when Swift was
dean of st. Patrick's cathedral In
Dublin, his publisher, Faulkner. called
at the deanery on business connected
with some proofsheets Having been
detained until near dinner time. he
was pressed by the dean to dine with
him. Asparagus was one of the vege-
tables, and the guest asked for sec
ond helping.
Sir snapped Swift, pointing TO
Faulkner's plate. first finish what you
have upon your plate!"
What. sir? Eat the stalks?" asked
the astonished publisher.
Aye. sir; eat the stalks, or youll
have no more! King William always
ate his stalks" added the dean IN his
most imperious manner
Whereupon the meek Faulkner
yielding to the deans Will, ate the
stalks most submissiyely.
Shortly after the deans death
Faulkner was relating the incident as
an Illustration of Swifts insolence.
and you were silly enough Ia
obey him?" asked some one.
YES replied Faulkner. "aud lei
me add, sir that If you had dined
with Dean Swift, you would have eat
an your stalks, too"

A sHREWD ECONOMIST.
Pat Proved to Be One Too Many for
the Preacher.

Patrick O'Hollihan was the oracle
of the little Irish village He was the
wisest of the wise, and was looked up
to by the other members OF the COM
munlty as a verltable encyclopedia.
But especially did he pride himself
upon his scriptural learning, says Sun.
day Magazine.
II was the custom In the village
church Sunday mornings for all the
inhabitants to attend, and Patrick,
who never missed a Sunday, always
occupied the front pew.
One Sabbath, when the minister
was reading from the Bible several
dlgnitarles were present from another
town, and In an endeDNor TO wax par
ticularly eloquent the pastor became
slightly confused and said And there
were 5000 loaves and three fishes TO
feed the multitude Of seven" And
then to point his moral and adorn his
tale he looked straight at the lnfalli.
BILE Pat and said. "And sure, Pat, you
couldn't do that, nowS could you?'
"Indade, | could" said Pat, and the
sermon continued.
That night. however, when the
preacher reached his home and
thought over his morning sermon, II
dawned on him that he had made
serious error concerning the loaves
and the fishes, Accordingly the next
Sunday he rose in the pulpit and said
In explanation Brethren, last Sab
bath | made mistake and said that
there were 5000 loaves and three
fishes to feed the multitude OF seven
but what should have said was that
there were seven loaves and three
fishes to feed the multitude of 5000
And then he looked at Pat again ant
said, And now, Pat sure you coulC
not do that; could you?"
"Ah, yis, OF could" replied Pat.
"And how would you do II, Pat?'
asked the minister.
why" said Pat. "Oi would give
thin what was lift owes from last Sun
day"
