We need not wonder why Anger. with all his
gifts did not devote himself TO literary tasks Of
a permanent kind-he was burdened by respOn-
sibilities which drove him 70 toll at classes in
girls schools. at lecturing and at magazine
ticles. The death of his widowed sister left him
to make a home for her four children; and not
long after he undertook the support Of the four
children OF another sister whose husband had

were never-failing, and we can easily spare the
scientific methods which he certainly did not
possess.
There was French blood in the Aingers, and
this It was. perhaps. that spurred his nimble
wit and his dramatic gift AS schOOlbOy the
sons OF Charles Dickens were his comrades. and
for several years he was one of the troupe of
actors in those merry children's performances
at the novelist's house. Dickens, are told,
delighted in teaching him. and called him on
the comic playbills "that irresistible comedian"
Forster remembers that when young Anger in
the character of Lord Grizzle. sang the ballad of
Miss Wilkins at a Twelfth Night revel,
'HThackeray rolled off his seat in a burst OF
laughter that became absurdly contagious" The
boy was an ardent student of Shakespeare, and
in his early college days began the readings
which are remembered as being even then mar
vels of Interpretation. In later years, when
guest at the house Of his faithful friends, the
Macmillans, he would read plays into the small
hours Of the morning. And sometimes. when
his happy hearers discovered it was late. and

seemed part of the witching hour" Until in old
age, when as Master Of the Temple he felt that
dignity forbade, he would yield now and again to
that Puck-like spirit of fun. The exhilarating
companiOnship of du Maurier was apt to demOl-
ish his clerical gravity:

WHY NOT A REVIVAL?

We believe there is room in Deni-
son for more genuine Christians and
that there is good opportunity right
here for sweeping revival. There
are many sensational revivalists
whose effects are but temporary and
whose usefulness is doubtful. Rev.
Macgeorge who is now conducting
services at the Baptist church has
proved to be strong, earnest and con-
vincing speaker and is doing good
work, why would it not be a good
idea for our evangelical churches to
unite, engage the opera house for his
meetings and use all the Christian in
fluence Of the city to bring about a
great revival Of Christian sentiment
in Denison. To our mind whether
one is a Baptist or a Methodist or a
Presbyterian is of minor Importance,
if he be a Christian and lead a
Christian life. Certainly there is
room right here in Denison for lot
of good Missionary work.

JUDGE CONNER WILL SPEAK
Republican Meetings Will Be Held In
County Next Week.

Hon. j. P. Conner and Hon. S. A.
Nelson of Humboldt will address the
voters of the county next week as
follows:
Thursday. Sept. 9th.
Buck Grove-Friday Sept. 18th.
Mr.. Nelson has spoken in this
county before and has already earned
a reputation as an eloquent and force
full orator.
Judge Conner will tell of the i'm
portant work of the last Congress
and will discuss matters of interest
to the voters of this county.
These are the first meetings to be
held under the auspices of the county
committee and it is hoped that there
will be good crowds at both meetings.
Later in the campaign Conner's
services will be in demand throughout
the district and for this reason he
will devote what time he can to this
county early in the canvass.

THE REVIVAL SERIES.

Rev. Alex Macgeorge is certainly
doing good work at the Baptist
church. In the face of bad weather
the audience has been better than was
expected at any time. Mr.. Mac
george is a very pleasing speaker,
and is a man of wide experience and
learning. Last night the lecture room
of the church was filled with people
who wanted to have part in the pray
er service. The other church people,
aside from the Baptist are attending
quite largely and are adding also
their infiuencesto thesmovement. All
things considered it is a splendid,
quiet. uplifting work. The afternoon
meetings are full of instruction and
attended princibly by the Christians.
DR.. Macgeorge has, not made up his
mind how long he will remain.

KILLED BY THE CARS
John w. Erlewine Run Down
Near Aricn
HIS BODY BADLY MANGLED
Stepped Out of Way of Freight Only
to Be Killed by Passenger

John w. Erlewine a brick mason
was killed by the Northwestern pas
senger train No. l. on Monday morn
ing, while he was walking the track
between Denison and Arion. The &C
cident happened about seven o'clock
in the morning. Erlewine was walk
ing west on the south side of the
west bound track. A freight train
was coming from the west and he
made some motion as if to wave his
hand and then stepped directly in
front of No. l. which was going at
the rate of 45 miles an hour. The
engine beam struck him and when
the train was stopped the remains
were found along side the baggage
car.
AT the inquest the engineer on No.
i. testified that he saw the man but
as he was out of his way he paid no
attention to him. AS the freight
came on the engineer testified that the
man waved his hand and stepped
nearer the west bound track. There
upon the engineer whistled and threw
on the air. He was rot sure then
that he would hit the man but did all
he could to prevent an accident.
The train stopped at once and the
body was turned over to the freight
crew who brought it to Denison.
The inquest was held before Act
ing Coroner George Richardson. A..
G. Myers, Henry Hollis and S. Nc
Cullough acting as jurors. After
hearing the testimony of the engineer,
7. S. Heron, the fireman. C. O.
johnson and of Carl A. Rubeck who
worked with Erlewine in Denison as
brick mason, the jury brought in a
verdict of accidental death and that
no crime had been committed. There
was no evidence but that the victim
was in a sober condition although ii
is stated that he had been drinking
more or less during the week.
He was young man and good
workman and had been employed in
Denison for a number of days. He
was evidently walking to Arion in

THURESS0N RETURNS
Local Methodists Rejoice at
Conference Action
iLGEN FRITZ MADE AN ELDER
Mearl Gable Assigned at Defiance
Other Appointments of Interest
to Methodists.

Local Methodists are rejoiced at
the action of the Des Moines confer
ence in returning Rev. T. E. Thures-
son to Denison for another year. 1t
was the unanimous wish of the church
that he be returned, but other and
larger churches wanted him and it
was feared that he would be sent to
a still better field. During the year
of his pastorate Rev, Thuresson has
greatly endeared himself not only to
his church members but to the
general public. His sermons are
most effective and eloquent and as a
citizen he is beyond reproach. Dur
ing the past few months his health
has not been good and in fact he re-
turns from the conference. where he
had the honor of preaching the annual
missionary sermon, quite a seriously
sick man. We think our Methodist
friends could in no way show their
appreciation to better advantage than
by granting him leave of absence
so that he may be relieved of all
work and worry until he fully re-
gains his health and vigor.
Among the other appointments
made by the conference which will
be of inter est to Crawford county
people we note the following.
Rev. E. Igen Fritz has been made
a presiding elder at the Ames district
succeeding Elder w. t. Smith who
has retired.
DR.. Emory Miller will remain at
Asbury Park church Des Meines, DR..
Houghtelen returns to Panora, H. H.
Baron will be at Scranton. E. M.

Women's Wages In England.
rom the Fortnlghtly Review.

From the Fortnlghtly Review.
There Is authority for the belief that the
average wage of working women is only
about Is. a week, and though the great
Lancashire textile trades may yield many
happy examples Of a wage OF los. or fl,
we may have to set against such earnings
those of the infinitely more numerous home
workers, and Of the little skilled, who, with
some manual dexterity, pass readily from
one casual Job to another. and who are
found one month in an envelope or paper
bag factory while during another they
work at fruit preserving or at the Timing
of food. The budgets OF many of these
girls are marvels Of ingenuity and econ
omy; the management with which the tiny
pittance Is expended Is a sermon in thrift
to philanthropists who lecture on the ex-
travagance of the poor. After board and
lodging are paid there Is often Is. week
left, out of which to meet every claim for
dress, fares and amusement and payments
to trade union or club. Yet this Is done.
and only those who examine the accounts
can guess the struggle. But of these wages,
such as they are, the worker ID not so Sc
cure. for they may be docked, almost at
the will of the employer, by fines and de-
auctions. There Is curious survival of
custom, prevailing under a different indus
trial system, IN the employers power to
make his workers pay for all the materials
which they need for work. so that needles
and cotton, gas, lighting and warming, ma
chinery, the very cleaning of the rooms.
may be so provided. The pence thus col
lected by an INSCRIPTIONS employer make
a considerable sum. and the ingenuity
shown In devising explanations for sud-
den rise In the price of cotton. for exam
pie, may be gathered by the fact that in
one factory 1kd. was added to the price Of
all the reels because OF the war"
The plea that a worker has damaged
material Is another fruitful source of i'm
position. as 1t is the statement that his or
her conduct has caused loss to the en-
ployer: thus we have found Is. Cd. deducted
from the wage of So. week for the break
ing of a shuttle in net factory, while
one historic instance shows that IS was col
lected at Is a head In a room of 100 girls
for the breaking of 2s.' Sd. three-legged
stool Disciplinary fines abound, and 1t Is
common knowledge that a higher court ap-
proved the decision by which the local
bench upheld an employer for infiictins
