ASIA FOR THE AsIATIcs.

Cedar Rapids Republican.-Much to

Russia English statesmen have laid a
heavy burden on the future. England

The OLD. SWEET SONGS.

Jessie Bartlett Davis, whose death
occurred in Chicago few days ago
is known as the singer who made fam.
Gus the song, CO. Promise Me-" but
she was noted as sweet singer long
before she became a member of the
Bostonians and interpolated that com.
position in the score of Robin Hood
and her part of Alan Dale. 1t was
to her rendition of much older and
simpler song that she owed her best
engagements and the beginning of her
great success. Sweet Genevieve," was
the ballad that Jessie Bartlett Davis
took from the mouths of lovers of a
generation ago and sang in her sweet.
est tones from ocean to ocean.

may go,
But still the hands of mem'ry weave
The blissful dreams of long ago"
Sweet Genevieve." Out of the past
on hearing OF that old familiar air
arise memories that cause the man OF
business, despite his gray hair and
wrinkled brow, to pause in his daily
grind and recall days of happy youth
1t brings back the faces of old friends
and half forgotten fragments of days
that might have been gone beyond re
call but for that song. And women
too, grown modern with the hurrying
years, their hair silvered by tinAc and
their thoughts occupied by events OF
later days, hum Sweet Genevieve'a and
under its spell go back through the
vista of intermingling gladne IS and
sorrow to the days of long ago The
old songs are the best
Though simple the notes, the old
songs strike responsive chords upon
the strings of long disused mel ory
They carry us back to youthful days
when we were part of romance and
poetry, and every day was sunny.
They may bring tears, bur they arc
tears of happiness and are temp cred
by smiles Of remembrance. For the
old, sweet songs are the best.
The old songs appealed to the heart
rather than the head or the heels. as
is now too often the case. That they
are the best, has been demonstrated
by the popularity, regardless of the
years, of Emma Abbott's "Annie Lau

A BUSY LIFE.

The story of the life of Kirk La
Shelle, the playwright and veteran
neWspa perman who died in New York,
few days ago, demonstrates that a
man with determination to go ahead
can Improve his condition nightly by
his own efforts. Mr.. La Shelle was only
AZ years old when he died, but he had
risen from the ranks of country print.

successful writer's of light plays "The

Mr. La Shelle was born at Wyoming.

IN the country schools While still a
lad he began work as printer in a
country office. He went to Chicago
twenty-five years ago, and after doing
odd jobs in printing offices, went to
work for the Chicago Morning News.
In short time he was made night
foreman of the News composing room.
firing OF city work, young La Shelle
went to North Dakota and started a
paper OF his own, but soon returned to
Chicago and was made foreman of the
composing room of the old Chicago
Mail Having always shown penchant
for theatrical work, he. asked permits
sion to "do the theatres" for the Mail,
and upon receiving it, wrote dramatic
criticisms for hot yo11
attending to his work as foreman. He
went to the Chicago Times, where he
did reportorial work, and next Joined
the staff of the Chicago Evening Post
where he did dramatic work and also
wrote special matter, including poetry
and fiction for the editorial page.
During these years Mr. La Shel1e
had formed a considerable acquaint.
ance in the theatrical profession.
1t vas in 1891 that he went with
Frank Daniels, and this marked his
permanent retirement from active
newspaper work. He later became Mr..
Daniels manager, and within few
years was producing plays Of his own

his fatal illness, Mr.. La Shelle was
proprietor of four or five dramatic en-.

THAT. MILWAUKEE, TRAIN.

Now that the season Of the year has
come when people can travel without
trouble, it is time for the new train
that has been promised by the Milwau-
kee officials for the last several
months. Business men and residents
all along the linz want this new train
and there is no doubt that it will
prove a good stroke for the Milwau-
kee company as well as for the people.
The train should start at Seymour in
the morning, giving the people there
and along the line, between Seymour
and Ottumwa time to eat breakfast be-
fore leaving their homes. 1t would
arrive in Ottumwa in time to give the
passengers time to do some shopping
before dinner and would go on east
ward to Washington, Muscatine and
Davenport. Returning it could leave
Davenport at about 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, reaching Ottumwa in time
to take the shoppers home from this
city in time for supper. 1t would also
bring to this city passengers who
could attend entertainments. band
concerts, theatres, ETC., during the
evening and return home on the mid
night train.
There could not be an addition to
the passenger equipment of the Mil
waukee on the Iowa line that would
mean a greater increase in traffic than
such a train as is proposed Officials
of the road have been asked to es-
tablish the train and several confer
ences have been held during the last
few months. Operating officials here
say the train would be a money-maker
for the company and :. great convent
ence for the people living along the
line. 1t is time for the Chicago off,

acknowledgement train. Here's hop.

IA, has utterly failed to interest the

ma, has utterly failed to interest the
American people with the revival of
ore of Shakespeare's plays. The gem
eral opinion is that they are not anus
inc enough. The present class of
theatre goers is inclined to the mod
ern musical comedy with a half dozen
comedians and a pretty chorus set off
with electrical effects and catchy mu-
sic. This seems to be the tendency
of the age at this time.
The late Jessie Bartlett Davis, who
passed away Sunday and who was the
wife of Will j. Davis, one of the pro-
prietors of the Inflated Iroquois, made
peculiar and interesting remark af-
ter that disaster. Some reporter asked
her why it was that such gorgeous
and stupendous productions We're put
on the American stage, why could
not something not so large and bril-
liant do just as well. Her simple
reply was, "The people demand it."
She then went on to state that the
more gorgeous, the more costly, the
more wonderful were the features OF
an attraction the better it was pat
ronized, while very often the ability
of the star and leading people was
not taken into consideration. 1t was
a direct slap at the present day
theatre goer, but she was not far
from right.
The other evening William Owen
and company presented one Of the
greatest tragedies ever written. He
had a good company. good scenic eff
fects, and it was a production of merit.
But only a handful of people witnessed
it. 1t did not interest the theatre
goer. 1t did not appeal to the pres
ent day taste.
Some of our artistic friends are very
apt to depiore this state Of affairs
and claim that it is backward ster
on the part of the American people
but the average person takes no
such discouraging view of things. The
people of this country rally at times
The production of Parsifal at Chica-
go was witnessed by thousands an6
enjoyed thoroughly. 1t was certainly
high class But for heavy tragedy
the American people are inclined tc
desist and naturally turn to the lighter

A DESERVED HONOR

Hon. S. H. Harper of Ottumwa was
Wednesday elected commander Of the
department of Iowa, G. A. R., at the
encampment being held in Oskaloosa.
This honor is r'chly deserved and
the many friends of Senator Harper,
both In Otutmwa and elsewhere, will
join the Courier in congratulations. AS
to his fitness there can be no ques-
ton. He will give to his Office of COM
mander the interest that has won for
him success in business and political
life heretofore, and the Iowa depart
ment will be next year in the same
splendid condition that it now enjoys.
It is q high honor to be chosen to
occupy the Office to which Senator
Harper has just been elected. The
ranks Of the veterans of the civil war
are thinning rapidly. Each year, when
the men who wore the blue SO proudly
in the sixties gather in reunions there
are faces missing. Perhaps the COM
rade who was the jolliest of the whole
assembled throng last year has since
been called to his reward. Taps is
played over the grave of many scar
red warrior every year and the biv-
ouac of the dead is filling rapidly with
the forms of those boys of '65.' The
fact that SO many have gone and are
going, to answer the last bugle call,
endears the survivors all the more to
those of the younger generations. No
honor is too great for those men who
gave up, their private interests for the
common good, marched away to the
southland and to dangers the magni.
tude of which they scarcely realized,
but came marching back in few
