would be a brilliant success. But he
has few other things: For example
he has wigs bizarre and costumes
striking; also several items of wit con-
cealed about his person. Strangely
enough he also has a message (Which

Man WON'T TALK:
silent SO YEARS

Kansas City, Dec. 16.-Not a wore
has ben heard from John s. Smith
in thirty.three years. Smith can talk
but ne won't. Every one who lives
near his home, Fifty.eighth street and
Monroe avenue. knows him as "Silent
Smith"
John Smith, at the early age OF 6
years, vowed vow. And events that
would ordinarily move a man to say
things have never caused Smith to
forget that vow. The vow was that
never again would he speak. Once,
five years ago, story was written
about him, Smith thought it strange
that his silence was worth a story, for
to him refraining from speech is as
commonplace a thing as breathing

perly the land around which Smiths
labor was, in the shape of a fence, de-
clined to pay either for the labor or
the raw material. Smith broke his
pencil point numerous times, and used
up hts note book, but the only place
there was word that couldn't be u.s.
ed on the most polite occasion was
between the lines. In never talking
he has learned the art Of what not to
say.
"Nothlng to Marriage"
That Is merely to illustrate what
hold this vow has had upon the con-
seriousness Of John Smith, it. Is only
right to explain, Of course, that he
came from family who were inclin-
ed that way. He has a brother and
two sisters, Ill of whom, those who
have known them from childhood say,
we're inclined to silence. Not one OF
them ever would recite lesson in
school, or speak to his or her teach.

Being Of frugal turn of mind he
quite early in life laid the foundation
for his present day independence.
He studied ne value of a dollar care
fully and mastered many of its poten-
tialities. He simply applied his accu-
mutation Of knowledge in well observ.
ed fields and has uniformly reaped his
rewards. The lure of the speculatOr .
field Of operation had but little charm
for him, he ever prefering more con-
servative investments.
For some twenty-five years he ably
represented the New Orleans whole
sale grocery house of E. Fieb!eman
Sons &c Co., and continued in this
service till the firm ceased to exist.
While in this service he became lhtl-
mately acquainted with the business
interests of the entire southwestern
Louisiana section, to the Texas bCr-
der. When banks were established IN
the principal towns OF this section he
believed in their necessity and their
possibilities and was found among the
subscribers to the capital stock OF such
institutions, thereby assisting in thei1
organization. He subscribed to such
stock in Houma, New Iberia. Laia-
yette. Breaux Bridge. Rayne. Opelou
sas and Beaumont. 1t may be here
noted that there were but two bank
between New Orleans and the Texas
line. at New Iberia and Lake Charles
when Mr. Galliand first went upon the
road.
During the year 1891 he acquired
stock in the Peoples National Bank o
this city, which was organized shor
time before. In January 1892 he WA
elected to a position on the board
directors, and the next year he wa
made the Vice President. which posi
ton he held for ten years. when g.
