Textile Workers Arc Camp

No Change In The Situation Al
The WOODEN Mills.

There is no change in the situa
tiou of the strike of the textile
workers employed at the Shuler
and Benuinghofen mills in Linden
wald. The strikers have estab
lished headquarters at the corner OF
Pleasant and Williams Avenues In
a tent erected on vacant lot.
Here they have large lounging
chairs and reading matter OF all
kinds to while away the time.
Judging from the ice cream and
soda water treats received, this
bunch of girls are the most popular
in the city today
Everything is quiet in the neigh
borhood of the mill. Ever since
last Friday evening, when the

mill asked to be permitted to return

was any disorder of any kind that

are they the cause of IT, They say
they are in this fight for principle,
which involves neither wages or

pie which concerns only themselves
and the firm for which they work
aud it is one that they will stand
out and fight for ne matter how
long it takes. When talking to
these girls and men one cans help
feeling impressed with their earn

THE DYING SGAB.

Auto ilAtiS N'hh'iS NiiIo 3 y, w "
cold December day,
There cPme drunken wanderer,
his hair was turning gray,
His hat was old and battered, his
clothes were rent and torn,
And his wor-l-out shoes let in the
snow that bitter winter morn.
The children hed before him, with
mingled fear and hate,
The grown ups just sneered, say ing
The scab has met his fate
None gave him any succor in all
that little town;
50 to a shed he wandered, and on
the earth lay down.
His strength was spent from hunger
his days were nearly done,
Aud thus the good priest found him
IT the setting of the sun.
The good man knelt beside him,
aud bowed his head to pray,
When to the people standing nigh
the dying scab did say:
In this pretty village, long ago,
! used to live,

God to man could give;
M> friends were numbered by the
score, was liked by one aud all
Till l betrayed the union men

But now | see my folly they shuI
NE with curse,
And my soul is rent ssunder by th'
anguish Of remorse;
My children have deserted me, III,
wife she died from shame,
And my gray haired father curse'
me, for I disgraced his name
IN my dreams I see the children
hear them crying out for bread
Hear the weeping wives and moth

Fathers, husbands; sons and broth

By my shameless, unfair methods

1t is not uncommon for a 4-year- old
to commit verses and stories to
memory and apparently read them
from the pictures in the books, but II is
out of the ordinary for children of TINS
age actually to read from not only the
first and second reader but the news
paper.
Alone in this class, as far as known
locally is little Nellie Furland. who
was 4 last October, daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs, Theodore Furland. who live
six and one-half miles north of the
city in the Prairievile neighborfood.
Whether the fact that Nellie's parents
We're both school teachers or that the
little girl lives across the street from
the Prairieville school has anything
to do with her precociousness Is not
known. However it may be the little
girl is a wonder when it comes TO
reading.
In the above picture Nellie has her
hand resting on pile of books she has
read thru many times. They are first
and second readers. The little girl
does not stop with juvenile stories
but picks up the T.-R. daily and reads
to her parents from the newspaper.
Mrs Archer $. Meyring, VINO mas

and boarding at the Furland home. has
shown off, the little girl with much
pride in the school room. where the
teacher has had her stand and read

marriage, Miss Hettie Hauser.. and is

Thu Gunder Meetings.

Evangelist Gunder. at the baptist
church last evening. poured out a ter
rife indictment against the church
members who neglect their duties.
His text was from Gen. 3:9. Where
Art Thou?" and spoke in part as fol-
lows:
These are the words OF God to
Adam and Eve who had fallen into
sin. Six Thousand years have rolled
away. but still that call comes to' JUS.
You know that sin brings separation
from God God gives you conscious
knowledge that you are wrong. He
has a right to ask this question Just
as Won have right to question your
children.
You say you are a christian be
cause you are church member. All
the devils of hell have been members
Of the church since it was first started
and are yet. Where art thou, IN
this campaign? Some of.you don't like
my preaching-and never will Some
] Of you will go home tonight and say
you have had enough. only pray
| that God will take hold Of you and not
let you go until you answer that ques-
ton where art thou?'
"You can four flush here, but when
the voice of God comes you must face
it. Are you letting your light shine ?
The trouble with Marshalltown is that
the salt has lost it's SAVIOR 1t is being
trodden under foot of men, What have
you done today? God can't find suffi-
cient people here who will give sacri-

it will take you right between the eyes.
