The return engagement Of Sol Smith

role, al the Odeon Wednesday evening,
proved another rare dramatic treat and
another severe disappointment in the
proportions OF the audience. Attic the
house might have been considered fair
for some performances. 1t was very
small when the charactersof the engage

the beautiful play was Of the same high

The audience. however was hardly OF

The tenth annual convention OF the

the Marshalltown district of the Meth

altho the exact dates We're not deter

The society is composed of about 100
Methodist ladies in this district. and al
tho small, the meetings are always in
teresting and conducive of much good.
Marshalltown was the unanimous choice
OF the delegates and when the feeling Of
the convention became known the dele
gates from this city, Mesdames L. E..
Darling, Emmett Waters and w. j. Ir-,
vine, extended to the society formal
invitation, which was accepted.

Keenaf,'s talk was considered uncalled
Tor and decidedly out OF place, altho
probably the one whom II least both
cred was Mr.. speers himself, who was In
no way responsible for the smallness Of
the house. Mr.. Keenan, compared the
managerial excuse with several others,
including one southern town where no
one could be urged to attend a theatef
on a moonlight night. another. where
some one in the town had died. etc. He
ended his talk by. vouchsafing the pre-
diction that IL it had been another

been filed.
The company left for Dubuque at ass
this morning, where two nights, en-
gagement will be played. Mr.. keenan,s
home was formerly in Dubuque, and an

that / would never have done so at first
glance. The truth is. he concealed his ac-
complshments under Il rather bland and
benevolent exterior and looked like an.
ordinary. good nntured. middle aged per-
son in some minor line of business, with
nothing especially to distinguish him
from thousands of others.
While he was leisurely eating his din.

COILS P. HUNTINGToN'S advice
to young men battling for success was
simple and of the worlds oldest wis
dom-that patience ard economy are
the foundations of prosperity. The
mea who rail at the very rich and say
that they could only have become so
by unhuman selfshness, robbery, and
oppression, are but maligning the
the world In order to excuse their own
failures. Mr.. Huntington knew whereof
he spoke. By patience and economy
and . continual grind lassing through
his best yesrs, . man often smasses
riches, and by his endeavors he - often
enriches every one and everything he
comes In contact with, she men With
picks, the schools, farms, shops. and
factories, and the state. HuntinRton's
success was such work.
