1t Is human nature TO take pride IN
Measure in your own possessions,
whether the possessions be children,
automobiles or great estates. It is
also human nature to have the salts
faction In being associated with sue
cess in any way. 1t is a mark of dis
'tinction which we often see alluded
to in the press to have been a person
al friend OF Abraham Lincoln or even
to have had momentary association
with any great celebrity.
It is not only true that nothing
succeeds like success, but 1t is almost
true that nothing is SO interesting as
success. Even to be associated in a
limited way with others who are sue
cessful is pleasant.
This human interest was present in
large measure last night at the song
recital given by Mrs. Margaret Smith
Lester of Chicago, soprano, accomp-
anied by her versatile and talented
husband, William Lester. This at
mosphere of possessive interest was
in great evidence among the audience
last evening and many we're the Incl
dents that were recounted, calling to
mind the early days of William Lest
er's residence in Keo!kuk. Several OF
these came to the writer's ears and
they are all evidence Of the real h,l.

in keokuk he was never known to
keep still except when he was asleep,
and his friends who know what he has
accomplished since he went to Chi.

merely maintaining steady tempo,
must have been accelerated to mark

BERLIN. Sept. 22-The Lokalan- zeiger says:
 There is no doubt that Germany will be affected much more seriously by the stoppage of cotton supplies than by the stoppage of food imports, Nevertheless. they are terribly mis- taken in England if they suppose that they can prevent Germany from man. ufacturing explosives. thereby bring. ing the war to an earlier conclusion. A country that transformed an aver age of two million bales of cotton yearly into fabrics in time of peace possesses among its population an in- exhaustible supply of worn cotton rags which can be easily employed as substitutes for raw cotton"

Nine. Gadski at Des MOines, Wednes
day, October 18th.

Nine. Johanna Gadski, the world's
greatest prima donna soprano will
appear in concert at the Coliseum
Des Moines, Wednesday evening, o.
tober 18th.
Nine. Gadski was born in suburb
Of the city of Stettin, where her faith
er was postmaster. AS a child she
was always singing. When she was
seven years of age, the flute player
in the orchestra at the opera lived
in the house back of her fathers,
and her heard her singing as she
He finally called upon her mother
and told her that the child had phe-
nomenal voice, but would ruin it if
she were allowed to use it without
restraint. He urged the employment
of teacher, and neighbor was en-
gagged to give the child lessons twice
week.
1t is Nine Gadski's boast that she
had but this one teacher. For seven
years she continued to study and
when she arrived at the age of IA,
her mother surprised her father by
asking his permission to let Johanna
sing at a concert. Up till then he had
been kept in ignorance of her stud
les. He finally gave his consent,
though with great reluctance. When,
however, he saw the success of his
child his pride was awakened.
For three years more she continu-
ed her singing and academic studies.
Then, one evening, Engel, the famous
impresario of the aristocratic Knoll
Royal opera, Berlin, heard her sing
at concert in Stettin, and at once
offered her contract. At first she
said mo" most emphatically, for she
had never entertained the idea of a
stage career. But at last he prevail
ed uron her to accept a provisional
contract.
1t was while singing in Berlin that
she was heard by Walter Damrosch,
and nearly two years before her con-
tract expired, he induced her to come
10 America
1t is among her friends that johann
ma Gadski is most admired. She is a
womanly woman, devoted to her
husband and daughter. Her hus-
band, Herr Tauscher, is the Ameri-
can representative of the famous
Ehrhardt Steel Works of Germany.
In her social life Nine. Gadski is es-
sentially artistic, but always modest,
unassuming, and without the slight
est track of artificiality. She is an
ornament to her profession and to
womanhO0d.
Prices 75c, 81, $3.50 and 81. Mail
orders being received now.
