Jones collected the opinions Of a great,

Of tho heavy guns OF the monitors caused

Cheerfulness.
densone.

Checrfulness Is largely a matter or
temperament, but it is also In part n
matter of cultivation. Ones habit of
thought has much to do with his dis
position. If Il man falls. into the habit
Of looking on the dark side, of consider
ing only the sorrows, troubles, worries
and mishnps of lKe, he will surely become
discontented and gloomy. and will have
n chronic fit of blues" But IL he will
minimize these and think upon and mag
Nifty. his joys and his pleasures. his COM
forts and his good fortune, he will become
habtually cheerful
Cheerfulness Is worth cutlvating It
living but from practical point Of view
1t is ~ fine asset for any man. The
cheerful man will always have more
friends, will always be more welcome in
social circles, will always receive more
courtesies and favors, and, all things else
being equal. will do moro business and
receive greater patronage from the pub
lie than the man who mopes and Is al
ways down In tho mouth" A cheerful
countenance Is splendid advertisement.
We have already remarked but 1t Is
worth repeating, that one of the secrets
of General Ftz Fees popularity and
success was his proverbal and never
| falling checrfulness. Such n man is al
ways welcome. whether he be u visitor
to the home or to the business office.

AMusEME Nrs.
George AIDES peggy from Paris" Pro
duced for First Time at the Odeon.

George AIDES "Peggy from Paris" Pro-
duced for First Time at tho Odeon.
Lovers Of musical comedy, and es-
pecially the admirers of George AIDES
clever work in light opera, were af-
forded their first opportunity Of see
ing Mr.. AIDES Peggy from Paris" at
the Odeon Tuesday evening. There is
much in Peggy" to amuse and please,
but for the most part the piece does
not rank, either unsteady or in Its
comedy, with 1.-THE Sultan Of Sulu,
1.-THE College Widow" and other of
Mr.. AIDES productions.
The chorus is one Of the leading
features, and is composed of lot of
pretty and vivacious girls who are
handsomely gowned and sing well. AS
far as solo voices are concerned, the
company is disappointing, altho Percy
Bronson has q good tenor voice and
Clara Martin, as Lutte Plummer, is
quite pleasing. Julia West, as Peggy,
is pretty to look at, but IL she has a
voice it's qualities were not displayed
here. Miss Vests bit of acting in her
Juliet stunt was decidedly clever, and
might give the impression that she
would do better in Shakespeare than
musical comedy. Her chief accom-
plishment, aside from this, was her
ability to manage her trailing skirts.
Olivette Haynes, as Sophie Blotz made
a hit in her Henry song, but her
German dialect is questionable at
times. Minnie Olton was all that could
be desired, as Mrs. Montague Fish, a
character hard to do justice. Unques-
tionably the hit Of the show is Arthur
DEACON, whose comedy as the tough
boy is good.
Peggy from Paris" has varied
amount of catchy music that is very
tuneful, but it's airs are not the kind
that are carried away by the average
audience and whistled. Mr.. Savage
has staged the production lavishly, as
is his custom in all of his productions.

COLONEL SESSIONS At HOME.
WeII-known Iowan Becomes Member Q
Soldiers Home.

WeIl-known Iowan Becomes Member Of
Soldiers Home.
Col. Fitzroy Sessions, of Cedar
Falls, a well-known Iowan and for ma
ny years prominent in northeastern To-
wa politics, has come to this city to
enter the Iowa Soldiers Soldiers
Home, for treatment in the hospital.
Colonel Sessions is afflicted with To-
comotor ataxia, and is hardly able to
get around without assistance.
Colonel Sessions, who for years has
been a warm and personal friend Of
ex-Speaker Henderson, Senator Alli-
son and other public men OF Iowa, Is
a graduate Of Harvard, and has held
many Offices of public trust during his
long career He served in the regular
army during the war, and has good
fighting record. He was United
States marshal for a number of years,
and during President McEinley's adj
ministration held a. position with the
board of sanitation of the District of
Columbia. He was compelled to give
up his work in Washington because
of his falling health.
Colonel Sessions many Iowa friends
will hope to see him benefited by hos
pital treatment, altho his condition at
his age is not ordinarily hopeful Of
much improvement.
