Wagner is Il noted man in Paris, tho
kind OF man whom people stare after
in the streets. Among the dapper and
undergrown rarisians lie bulks large,
with his great height and massive
chest and shoulders. There are vari-
Gus legends. constituting sort of lit
tie mythology, about his enormous
physical strength and the feats sup
posed TO have been achieved by him in
his peasant days. For the rest he Is
described as Il man of singular sweet
ness and straightforwarLlness of char
acter. with Il strong personal charm.
He has n wide following. personal as
well as ethical.
The early career of this noteworthy
man is interesting. He is the son of u
Lutheran minister of Alsace. born at
wibersville. in the Vosges. on Sunday
morning. Jan. 3. 1852. while his father
Was preaching In the village church.
He was only seven years old when his
father died. and yet he was the eldest
OF five children. The family moved to
Phalsbourg. and there Charles labored
in the fields and studied for the min
istry. He was sent to Paris at four
teen and took Il degree at the Sorbonne
in 1869. He was n student of theology
at the University of Strassburg during
the Franco-Pruss war. and there he
underwent a sort of spiritual reyolu-
ton. losing his religious faith. He read
Spinoza and found in that philosopher
something to compensate for what he
had lost. but two simple incidents led
to the restoration OF his religious life.
One was the first sight OF the Alps.

THE SIMPLE LIFE" A
WORLD FAMOUS STORY
Work of Charles Wagner to Be Published tn The
Argus. Beginning Next Saturday What Pres
ident Roosevelt Thinks Of 1t

The Argus has arranged for exclu
siye publication of the world famous
story. The Simple Life" in continued
.crm. the opening chapters to appear
next Saturday evening.
Charles Wagner. author of The Sim
pie Life" was practically made famous
BY President Roosevelt. author of The
Strenuous Life" Early in 1902 certain
well known New York publishers
brought out very quietly transla ton
OF The Simple Life" At first the
book did not attract much attention,
except among the literary few. but
among the literary few was President
Roosevelt. On him the little volume
made such an impression that lac re-
ferred 10 ii IN one OF his public ad-
dresses as follows:
The other day 1 picked up n little
book called The Simple Life written
by an Alsatian, Charles Wagner. and
he preached such wholesome. sound
doctrine that wish it could be used as
a tract throughout our country. To him
the whole problem OF our complex,
somewhat feverish modern life can be
solved only by getting men and women
to lead better lives. He sees that the
permanence of liberty and democracy
depends upon a majority of the people
being steadeast in that good. plain
morality which as a national attribute
comes only as the result of the slow
and painful labor of centuries and
which can be squandered in genera
ton by the thouShtless and vicious. He
breaches the doctrine of the superiority
OF the moral TO the material. but he
insists. as we OF this nation should al
ways insist, upon the infinite superior
ity Of the moral aud the soTdid destruc
