IYlES E. WILLIAMS,
St. Anthony Barber Shop and Pool
ParIor.

One of the most remarkable exhi-
billions of what can be done if one
goes at it the right way has been
noted in the success of Messrs. VIM,
A. Lyles and Walker Williams in their
barber shop and pool parlor, 554 st.
Anthony avenue. Just few months
ago they started with two barber
chairs and two pool tables. BY their
strict business methods and careful
management the business has so in
creased that they were compelled to
build an addition large enough to ac-
commodate three more pool tables,
and still they can hardly take care of
the large crowds that have become
regular patrons. And they represent
the best class of citizens in the city.
They now have five of the latest style
of the famous Brunswick & Bake
pocket billiard tables, in addition to
their up-to-date tonsoria1 'parlor. The
public is cordially invited to call and
enjoy what they have provided.

Charles Reign Scoville sat in his
room after the tabernacle service last
night talking with members Of his
company relating to the plans for the
coming weeks Of the evangelistic
campaign. He was exhausted from
his efforts OF the evening. His face
vas drawn and a trifle pale. His lips
twitched nervously.
He gave an order here and a direc-
ton there. His brow was contracted.
He was "all business" An evange-
list, o know has many worries that
the public at large never dream of.
There are a thousand and IL little
things that the evangelist himself
must, it seems, look after personally.
Hundreds Of foolish questions to be
answered every day, many telephone
calls from well-meaning but thought
less enthusiasts and many letters to
be answered.
After spending a day replete with
all the detail mentioned, 1t doesn't help
a man overly much to preach as hard
as he can for IN hour after supper.
Suddenly, last night, just as he was
giving the last instruction to an as
sistant, Mrs. Scoville entered. She
was humming a CHEEKY little tune.
She was smiling. Her husband glanced
up. His face relaxed in a fash. his
eyes lighted up and he, too. smiled.

Charles Stewards Big "kids' Meeting"
on Saturday Afternoon,
Attracts Large
Crowd.
WAS HAPPY OCCASION
Singer Entertains keokuk's
Young for Two Hours-Youna-
sters We're Good
Singers.

Sixteen hundred children laughed
and sang two hours away in the big
tabernacle yesterday afternoon. About
400 grown-ups sat by and laughed
and sang, too. The occasion was
Charles Stewards big kids meetin' "
and the attraction was Stewart and
his OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES was, in it.
self, a sermon "incognito."
An air Of deepest mystery per
vaded the tabernacle. The mystic"
himself. was not quite a "'~reg'lar'
one, because, instead Of being long
and lean and terrible looking with
tangled, unkempt hair hanging about
his face, he was a short, chunky,
smiling chorus director with hair
cropped close and his eyes sparkling.
The children were storming the
tabernacle doors at l o'clock. At 1:15
the building vas thrown open and
the youngsters fell headlong into tho
entrances. In a few moments the
song service had started. And, be it
said here and now, the Keokuk papas
and mammas have yet to equal that
song service.
When Stewart waved a small Amer-
can flag and started America" every
boy and girl 1eaped to his feet and
when the first stanza had been sung
the Riddles started the second before
ever Mrs. Scoville could strike the
chord on the piano.
Such songs as "a Volunteer For
Jesus" I'll be a Sunbeam" and
Where He Leads Me l Will Follow
were sung with such ardor and lung
force that the great worship shed fair
ly shook with the vibration.
Now the girls sing it and the boys
whistle" smiled the leader. Then he
had the boys sing and the girls
whistle, much to the delight of the
boys.
Stewart performed a number Of
tricks for his youthful audience, in
Guiding the producing of a couple OF
real live pigeons out Of an empty hat,
changing a glass of bran into a glass
Of candy and causing a penny to dis
appear from his hand "in plain view"
as though it had been swallowed up
bodily by the elements.
When he had performed his penny
trick, the chorister sought to illus
trate how a boy would have lost out"
had he bet on the proposition. TITS
wrong to bet, boys" he concluded,
"and a man Is not right who wifi bet.
If I bet and lose I'm a fool. What am
I If / bet and VIM" he asked.
You're a wtnner!" yelled a dozen
lads simultaneously.
Stewart laughed and admitted It.
But I'd be a thief, too" he said. "I'd
have no right to the money"
Next Saturday afternoon DR.. SEQ
Vile will talk to the children. He
will be on hand with his dishes and
doll rags" he said yesterday, and will
spend an hour in showing the children
the value Of living clean lives while
young.

The reporter caught the spirit of the
moment and added his own facial con
tortion-his alleged" smile.
And thai SMILEY little smile" of
Mrs. Scoville's has done more in the
past years to keep the preacher ION
his toes" perhaps. than anything else
in the world. Just when the tension
gets so taut that it seems some
thing surely must break, just when the
clouds draw down the thickest, just
when the worries are piled highest IN
the path, Gypsy smiles that smile
and Immediately the tension %relaxes,
the clouds vanish as if by magic and
the worries are chased out of exis-
tence.
Mrs. Scc..'lle always is Gypsy to
her husband. One scarcely ever hears
him call her by any other name abou
their residence. She has been his clos
est companion. Night after night, for
several years, she has been at the
piano near him; night after night he
has heard her voice lifted in song at
the tabernacle.
And. it Is safe to say, as long as he
has "Gypsy"-and that sm1le-Charles
Reign Scov1lle will give the principal
habitat Of the Stygian regions n OF
the best runs for his money that his
Satanic Majesty, in all probability,
will care to receive.

Reign Scovilke, His
Life and EuangeHstic Work
Old Gospel Team
in Reunion Here

There was a happy reunion in Keo-
kuk last night between Guy S. Will
l1ams, publicity agent for Charles
Reign Scoville, and Billy" Davidson
and Bob" Garland Of Des Moines,
three converts Of Billy Sundays and
former members of a gospel team that
toured Iowa for three months a year
ago and made 642 converts.
When Billy Sunday went to Des
Mo1nes, Williams was a reporter on
the Register and Leader, Davidson a
saloon keeper. and Garland a gambler.
After they had hit the sawdust trail
at the Sunday revival, the three drift
ed together and decided to form a
gospel team. They added to their
number Arthur Watson, a singer.
For three months they toured Iowa
cities and told Of their experiences,
each having about twenty minutes on
the program. The three twenty min
ute talks, combined with Arthur Wat
sons singing, brought 642 converts.
With the coming Of summer, the
team disbanded, Williams going back
to his newspaper work and Davidson
into the cafe business, while Garland
up the business Of selling silos.
Davidson, who for fifteen years was
a Des Moines saloon keeper, has now
opened the finest cafe in that city,
called the Davidson lunch.
Messrs. Davidson and Garland came
to Keokuk especially to visit their
old friend and team mate here and
will be in the city until Monday.

and holding religious meetings. IT
was about this time that his life de.
cision was made.
Moody and Sankey were in thu
heighth of their glory while Scoville
was v~acillating between the schno
and the church. Moody was then mold
ing a big series of meetings IN Gin
cinnati and ScoviIle made a special
trip to that city to hear him. The re-
suit was that he decided that he
wanted to do that sort Of thing him
self. But he was not yet equipped FOR
his. life work. To prepare himself he
entered Hiram college at Hiram,
Ohio, in 1898. and took a classical
ministerial course. By dint Of hard
labor he finished a seven years
course In our years. graduating in
1897, with an A. NJ. and A. B. degree
The doctors degree WAS later CON
ferred upon him. Hiram college Is
now known as Garfield college. II
name was changed in honor OF Prss1-
dent Garfield, who attended the schcol
and later taught there.
Garfield also worked himself
through this college and went TO the
civil war from there with a large
number Of the students and faculty.
Five of DR.. Scoville's teachers at
Hiram were Gartield's teachers also.
Takes up Evangelism.
After leaving college, DIR. ScoVllle
took ND evangelistic work gradually.
After the first few years he he'd i
great number Of meetings. In 1907
he gave up this work to organize a
church in Chicago, with which he wos
connected for five years. This church
was known as the metropolitan church
and had members Of all creads. 1t
was organized with 107 members, lEt
under his guidance grew to $40 mem

Scoviile and keokuk.
Many people have Seen asking what
Scoville will accomplish In Keokuk.
There is the old cry going up that tho
converts will drift away in a week or
q month or q year after the revival
has closed; that the effect OF the six
weeks effort will be heeting. Dr..
Scoville has a quiet laugh at this. He
has not gathered about him n party OF
ten to show off on the platform. They
are here for work and a great part
OF their work is to organize n sood
churchmen the hundreds who are
pected to hit the sawdust trail" here
within tho next six weeks.
There are two main features TO my
revival work." said DIR. Scoville. "One
is the saving Of souls and the other
the organizing Of the converts into
church members.

conservation and lay more stress on It
probably thar any of the other wang
elists before the public today. I don't
intend to go from Keokuk amid the
p~laudits of the church people and the
waving OF handkerchiefs and blowing
of horns and leave a great problem on
the ministers hands.
That kind of a leave taking Is
spectacular, but that is all. My pro-
gram is so arranged that when the re-
vival comes to a close here the con
verts will be organized and there will
be no mob for the ministers and
churchmen of the city to worry over.
stay with a town until this is ac-
compIished. Great stress is laid on
the church in my program and I aim
to work hand in hand with the
churches OF the city in which the re-
ylval is being held. The revival Is
to make christians, but ] realize that
the church has to take up the work
after 7 leave and It is for this reason
that great effort is made to effect the
amalgametion before the close Of the
campaign

eTorts and final success that is full Of
human interest.

stands as one of the foremost revival

DR.. Scoville reviewed his life and
his work for The Gate City yesterday
and this history, which will be of in
|terest to all who have been attending
the revival meetings Is given below:
Birth n Early Life.
Charles Reign Scoville was born on
"a farm near Butler, Ind. He was
reared in the hosier state and in time
entered the high school. Before he
lad completed his course, however.
his father suffered financial reverses
and he had to leave school for the
Vine being. After doing farm work

enter school and graduate. But his
ambition was higher than a mere high
school education.
With the knowledge that he would
have tc work his way through, he en-
tered Tri-State college at Angola,
Ind, from which he graduated in the
year 1892. At the beginning of his
college term he worked as a ~ianitor
at the school to pay his expenses.
There were three other boys besides
myself doing the same thing. They
did one-half and 7 did the other" he
said with a smile. 81 had to do it,
that was all"
In after years, when Scoville's name
was pointed to with pride in Tri-
State college halls, the poker that he
used while ~janiteering there was I'M
covered. nickel plated and presented
to him as a reminder of his early days
in the college. This poker is one Of
Dir. Scovilie's most cherished posses
sions and adorns his Chicago office.
Has Many Gifts.
DR.. Scoville has received many 9TH
er gifts in the eighteen years he has

tive individuals and organizations.
These have come from all over the
world. The watch he carries is a gift.

knife on the other end of the chain.
Suspended from the chain is a gold
medal given to him by a body of en-
whom he addressed on his
world tour in 1912. He has many 9TH
er medals and a host Of other interest
Ing offerings that he has collected in
parts of the United States.
