Monteville Flowers Gives Dramatic
Reading OF Dickens Christmas
Carol" at Augustana
UNDER LYCEUM AUSPICES
Interprets Authors Characters in Man.
ner That Deeply lmpresses Men,
bers of Large Audience.

1t was the unanimous decision of
ali who heard Monteville Flowers dra-
matte Interpretation of Dickens
christmas Carol" last night that it
was the best number the Augustana
college Iyceum course has offered
since Mr. Flowers appeared three
years ago. AT that time he gave a
dramatic reading of Ben Hur'' and
the impression he made was so good
that he was secured for return en-
gagement His work last night, ac-
cording to those who heard him on
the previous occasion, was even SUI
perior to that remarkable perform
2Lce.
Reads "Christmas Carroll
Although the reading lasted exactly
two hours. not once did Mr. Flowers
fail to hold his auditors in rapt atten-
ticn. Such powers of character de-
lineation are rarely exhibited on the
leoture platform. The whole Christ
mas Carol with its manifold types
OF human nature was pictured almost
in flesh and blood. So realistically
did he portray the characters that they
seemed to pass before the eyes of his
| auditors almost as in a panorama.
First there was "Scrooge" in all his
repulsive misery characteristics
then his merry whole-nouled nephew
whose contagious laugh was enough
to dispel the most depressing feelings
Bob Cratchett," the timid. yet kind
hearted clerk; "Marley's" ghost with
the three spirits of the past, present
and future in their most startling
characteristics; Tiny Tim in all his
diminutiveness with his pathetic little
voice-all came and disappeared as i
by magic before the startled eyes Of
the audience.
Work is Consistent.
Mr.. Flowers character work was en-
tirely consistent. each subject reap
pearing in the selfsame character
istics and expressions. His descrip
tions were also eXceedingl ygraphic
the Cratchett dinner party and thu
graveyard scene being especial!
vivid and impressive. Few of thu
audience realized before the readin!
what a depth of humor and Patio
there is in Dickens famous Christina
lstory. Both the dark and sunny side
OF human life were portrayed so truth
fully that the sympathy of the aud
epce followed the reader throughout
when he laughed, the audience joine,
in; when he pictured the pathos of tn
story, there was much suspicion
shifting and clearing of threats.
Mr.. Flowers was surrounded by
host of admirers after the recital an
showered with congratulations H
has won so many friends here that h
will doubtlessly become a permanen
attraction on the Augustana course.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1908-11-21

In view of the rapid destruction of
the few remaining large tracts of
standing timber in this county, the
utility of attempting to stock the COM
nunity with pheasants is seriously
questioned in many quarters. Of
course the birds will thrive and be-
come a fixture where they are pro-
tected as at Rock Island arsenal, but
the foreign and fancy varieties are
not any better fitted to survive in the
rough and tumble for existence in the
woods than the native pheasant,
which is now to be found in only a
few places in this vicinity.
Despite the protection of the game
laws which have prohibited the kill
ing of pheasants and prairie chickens
lat all times for a dozen years, both
these noble game birds have practi-
cally disappeared from Rock Island
county. A gentleman who is familiar
with the widest parts of both ends
of the county recently said that there
were left but two flocks of prairie
chickens, one being in Yuma and the
other in Buffalo Prairie. He probably
underestimate the number, for. there
are known to be few of the birds
in Edgington township and there are
probably others in the upper end OF
the county But their habits are such
that no game laws, however well en-
forced, can prevent ultimate annihila
ton.
| In striking contrast to the pleas
ants and prairie. chickens which are
growing fewer under rigid protection
iquail have unquestionably grown
more numerous in the last 20 years
despite the fact that they are hunted
