JUST A BIT OF LIFE.
A Pathetic Incident OF the Pawn
shops In the Metropolis.

Sneaking into small shop in an OBJ
scure and poverty ridden locality, the
man who event broke" at the races
was realizing on superfuous article
Of jewelry. A woman so poor and
pinchedi in feature, so marked with
care and desperation that it made him
feel sick to look at her, was holding
something under her shawl and wait
ing nervously until he should have fin
ished his transaction.
"Wait on her. She seems to be in a
hurry" he said to the man behind the
counter, and at the word of permission
carpenters plane was produced from
the shelter of the shawl.
How much do you want?" queried
the unmoyed pawnbroker monotonous-
ly.
Fifty CENTS" replied the woman,
with gulping in her throat and an
eager look In her eyes. She clutched
the money tightly and ran into another
creature, poor as herself, but bearing
her troubles in duller fashion. She
had a baby's cloak, never costly and
much worn, on which she wanted to
borrow money, the same sum as the
other woman had asked for.
The man who had been offering
diamond felt uncomfortable. s'There,
give me $50. The stones worth four
times as much" And, Selling the. mon
ey, he hurried after the woman who
had just left the shop. He was not
given to acts Of charity, and he felt
awkward, the more so as the woman
shrank from him as he accosted her.
Il beg your pardon" he began, 'but
here's So l have no use for. Perhaps
your
mo, nor she cried, drawing further
from him
For your child" he said gently.
MY child is deadv' cried the woman,
with a queer sob, and fed into the
labyrinth of alleys and byways that
shelters so much wretchedness.-New

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

The coming county convention
is of utmost importance to the re-
publican party of this county. A
delegation of workers must be sent
to Fort Dodge and these workers
must be the best that the county
can produce. According to the
convention call Crawford is en-
titled to eleven accredited dele
gates, but more than twice that
many men must be on the ground
at Fort Dodge. Whether as dele
gates or as alternates or as work.
ers, every man who can help must
be present and contribute his share
to the success which is in sight.
Every republican wants his share
in the glory of victory if it is to be
ours and every republican must
also share in the work and in the
responsibility. The county CON
vention is also important in that
the county ticket is to be nomi-
mated. The Review has no pets
for positions on the county ticket.
There are but two things which it
would urge upon its republican
readers; first, that the nominees
be men who are eminently fitted
for the positions and secondly,
that they be not men who will
weaken the ticket. We would be
against our best friend if we found
that another man of equally good
character would be a better vote
getter. If the republicans of the
county will approach the subject
of the nominations with this idea
in view there will be no mistakes
made. For our part, we are in
this campaign to make republi-
cans. 1t is high time that Craw-
ford county joined the rest of the
enlightened people of Iowa and
entered the ranks ofrepublicanism.
1t is often insinuated that partisan
papers are more interested in Sc
curing the county printing than in
the success of their party prin-
ciples. We are not Indifferent to
the large advantage given our
competitor by the fact that it
draws from the county as much
yearly as does any county officer.
We would like to do the county
printing or at least share of it,
but we would rather gain one hun
dred republican votes by real con-
version than to gain some county
Office by getting four hundred
democrats to scratch their ticket.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1900-09-14

was more general than it is in the
United States today. Let him
tell you how he would improve
things and if he cannot do it ask
him if he does not think the wisest
and the best thing would be to let
we'll enough alone. 1t is useless
to repeat the evidences of prosper
lty, every man has them at his
tongues end and feels them in his
pocket. The man who does not.
know that these are good times
hardly knows enough to be a
voter. The question is cannot
these good times be best preserved
by the re election Of the President
who brought them and 'the admin
lstratlon that made them possible,
than by the election of the man
who would first revolutionize the
very foundation upon which all
our vast system Of business is
built. The Lord made the repub-
lican party with a mission to full
fill. Many thought that mission
was completed when slavery was
abolished against the protest Of
the democratic party. But there
was more work at hand. The
nation must be reconstructed and
solldihed. This accomplished it
was necessary to build up the
strength and sinew of the nation
by wise and helpful legislation.
The minute the republican party
was placed out of power the coun-
try went from bad to worse and
nothing but the election Of Nc
klnley four years ago put stop
to the work of degeneration. Some
people think they are so we'll now
that they can afford the luxury Of
another spell of democratic hard
times, but 1t they do they will be
mighty glad to get back under the
wing of protection four years from.
now. We want no lean years, we
favor four years more of the full.
dinner pail. There is still work
for republicanism. The integrity
OF our finance must be preserved.
The benefits of American civiliza-
ton must be extended to the peo-
pies whom the All.wise Father has
placed under our care, the people
of the South must be taught that
the 18th and 18th constitutional
amendments are not dead letters
and that they must be respected.
These, together with the growth
and advancement of our country
are the things to be accomplished
by the republican party, and any
one who thinks them desirable
objects should join with US for
their ACCOMPLISHMENT.

profitable business than for the corresponding
period Of last year. The net earnings for the six
