SMITH ON HUGo's HERO.
Twentieth Century Club Listens t.
Literary Treat at French Homo.

iWentIetn century N'uD Listens 10
Literary Treat at French Homo.
Under the auspices of he study
class Of the Twentieth Century club
Monday night, at the home of Miss
Maybel French. Rev. Merle N. Smith
gave the club n its friends a liter
AIRY treat in a delineation of the char
acter of the bishop, in Victor Hugo's
Les Miserables.' which the class has
been studying his season.
Mr.. Smith ave a most comprehen-
sive character study in outlining the
character OF Bishop Bienvenu, whom
he declared to be Iiugo's hero as
Christian and as saint-his chief hero
next to Jean Vatican. He is the
romancer's tribute to a minister of
God" the speaker said. "Whiteness Of
life is not an episode foreign to BIZ
ography. This priest was the incar-
nation of manllness. He a the gift
of laughter; he was an optimist, haN-
ing faith in God, and also faith in
man. He was humanitarian; not
greatness, but goodness. He had no
interest in theological quarrels."
In summing up the character Mr.
Smith said: The character of the
bishop was evidently after Christ. He
was an attempted incarnation of the
precepts and the love of the Nazarine.
Last, and chief of all, the bishop IS
redcmptive; he and God lifting Jean
Vatican to a level of heroic and mag
unanimous manhood"
Mr.. Smiths address was thoroughly
enjoyed. He vas given the closest at
tention turnout, and was roundly up
plauded when he had concluded.
Following the address light refresh
ments were served by the members of
the study class. The only out-of-town
guests were Mrs. Glenn G.. Buck. of
Omaha, and Mr.. and Mrs. G. l. Susan.
Of Fond du Lac, Wis.

OBJECT TO REMOVING TREES.
Property Owners on East Main Do Not
Want Trees Cut Down.

Property owners living on East
Main street, eighteen in number. g
istered an objection Monday night to
the councils recent resolution by Her
man. %instructing the removal of GER
tain trees on the north side of the
street between Seventh and Eighth
avenue. The petition, by Mcdonald.
was placed on file. and the council will
investigate. If the resolution is car
ried out no action will be taken until
spring, and in the meantime the coun-
Gil will look into the matter. The pc
tition protesting against the removal
of trees is much stronger than the n
asking that the trees come out.

SONS OF IOWA.
nda Grove Pioneer.)

Ida Grove Pioneer)
The sons of Iowa are more than
holding their own in every land and
cline n it Is with pride that we
read of their achievements. A few.
years ago whenever a man did any
thing it was quite natural to find
that he hailed from Ohio, but that
great state is no longer the only in
cubator for great men and II W
fair Iowa is near the top.
We are Just in receipt of an invi-
tation from the Iowa Society of New
York to attend a reception given in
honor of its president, General Gren-
vile M. Dodge, on the evening OF
Dec. 10th. the first of a series of
meetings to be held during the winter
by this organization. 1t was in the
fall of 1906 that the society was organ
lied by Judge Dillon. General Dodge
and James S.. Clarkson, and so sue
cessful have been the annual BAN
quets that this year it was determined
to hold several meetings.
The Iowa society of New York has
n membership of several hundred. and
the prominence of its members in the
business, professional, scientific and
literary life of The empire state and
the nation is very gratifying. Among
the noble sons of Iowa living beyond
its borders the society in~cludes-Gen-
eral Dodge, Judge Dillon, General
.Clarkson. eX-Secretary Shaw, Theo.
p. Shonts. Vice President w. C.
Brown, of the New York Central. Vice
President George Brownell of the
Erie railroad. Director w. T. Hornaday
of the New York geological gardens.
Lee De Forest of wireless telegraphy
fame, DR.. Woods Hutchinson. John A.
Drake, Carl Snyder. Rev. DIR. Newell
Dwight Hills, Senator William A.
Clarke. Elijah w. Sells. Editor Albert
Shaw of the Review of Reviews, Cen
eral Alfred Sully, Governor o. n. Man
ming, and Carl Snyder, the author.
1t is the pride of a mothers life
when her children come back to the.
old home for a visit, and 1t warns
the heart of all Iowa to know that
way down east, q thousand miles or
more from the old hearthstone, these
true sons fine time in their busy lives
to step to pay tribute to the state
that gave them birth. Some of them
are leaders of men, many are distin-
guished, and all seem to be making
success-certain it is that all are do
ing their best.

Are Book Reviews News?

There seems to be difference of
opinion among editors as to whether the
appearance Of an important new book IS
an event deserving Of any mention IN a
crowded newspaper. Is the review Of a
good novel or a great history a matter of
real public INTEREST," The Chicago Rec
ord-Herald is one Of the comparatively
few newspapers that answers this >ques-
tion IN the affirmative by printing reviews
and news Of the latest books every day
in the week. 1t believes that its readers
are intelligent men and women, who wish
to keep up with the worlds literary
events, as well as with other important
news. Its literary department, under the
editorship Of Edwin L. Shuman, is gen.
orally acknowledged to be the most ably
conducted in the West. Mr.. Shuman's
reviews are sought and quoted all over
the country, and so are those Of his bril-
liant corps Of assistants. Walter Little-
fields news letter from New York every
Saturday keeps The Record-Herald's
readers informed on all the forthcoming
books Of Importance, and a cable dis
patch from London every Sunday give.
the latest book news of the Englishcapi-
tai. Thus by covering the literary events
Of the world as thoroughly as those 81
every other field The Record-E herald
has become the leading authority in. thai
