THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.

Attend to your own duty" is said to
be the mandate of right and common
sense and the rule of success. The
important inquiry remains still unan-
swered: What is my duty?" That
has many answers suggested. though
none is agreed on. The most reasona-
Die one, of any general application. is:
Mind your business" What that is
may be set down thus: Your business
Is whatever your hands find to do, and
this You must do with all your might"
This. however has it's exceptions and
limitations; but, on the whole, 1t is the
best reply yet found for the anxious
inquiry. The difficulty with this is that
so many will not believe it. or doubt
it. or cannot or will not see what it is
that is ready for their hands. The
thing to do seems so insigniicant-and
insufficient; or degrading; or pays so
little; or apparently carries us away
from our desires and hopes. Never
theless. there it is; take it. or leave e.:
Whatever your hands find to do"
Sometimes the task appears too great
lor u.s. We are appalled, at It's difficult
Ties; yet these usually fly, or disappear,
more or less. on n resolutc attack. Yet
this is not known To us beforehand:
and if anybody tells us this truth. we
do not believe 1t, while experience it
self may often cxaggerate doubts and
dangers in the way. to test us. Still.
the secret OF duty and success is to do
with diligence whatever your hands
lind to do. Do that: wait for nothing:
and all things will come to You.

But as this alleged prosperity is all

columns Saturday, was rather much of
a disappointment to the lovers of foot
ball as it should be played.
In the first half as many as three of
the Ames eleven played dirty foot
ball. That is rather hard statement,
but it is true. So true is it that Capt.

that the team had three members who

the first half. This crippled the team,
of course, as the home team is pot any
too strong behind the line with all reg
ular members playing.
In the second half Marshalltown's
reputation for fair foot ball playing
was given black eye. There was no
smuggling done. it is true, but an extra
man was run in in the middle of play
without any warning or notice. This
was John Reynolds, who was former
member of the team, but at present is
not member of the school. He was on

Mephsto was we'll sung and exceeding

The Sunday evening engagement, IN
some respects, was far superior to any
thing that had been rendered on the
two previous evenings. The singing OF
the second and third acts of Donizetts
famous creation, Lucia ID Lammer-
moor being more than worth the price
of admission. The story of Lucia is a
sad one, and gives rise to many dram
attic situations and the expression OF
much sentiment, both by the voice and
action. The scene is laid in Scotland in
1860. 1t is Sir Walter SCOTS The Bride
of Lammcrmoor," and Donizetti com
posed the magnificent music.
| An attempt TO describe the music of
Lucia is almost beyond the province OF
words. ii is grander by far than either

choruses and the individual work.
Lucia" was sung by S!gnorini Amelia
Sostegni, whose beautiful voice Was
heard in the minor part of Michaela in
i"Carmen" Friday night. She thrilled

was ever heard here. Signor Richardo

sad part of the disappointed lover We're
beyond criticism. He was PATHS lead

was his first appearance here. Signor

peared in Sir Henry. The entire cast
was faultless and those who had heard
the operas of the previous evenings
were of the one opinion. that it was
unfortunate that Lucia could not have
been given in it's entirety. As one ex-
pressed it, You do not have to know
| Italian to understand that opera"
| Between the acts of Lucia and
Mascagnis masterpiece, "Cavalleria
Rusticana." Signorina Callamarini, the
peerless mezzo soprona who sang Car
men. appeared in Iradier's La
Paloma"-the dove. Callamarini was
in her usual good voice and dressed in
coquettish Mexican garb, sang the lit
tile Mexican song with wonderful
