(From "An Outline of Wells" by Sidney Dask, editor of John O. London's Veeldy.) INTELLECTUALLY, of course, H. j G. Wells is Unmensely superior to the common run of men. He is a born leader and inspirer -of men and this is the point of outstand ing importance he remains a man of lik e passions with ourselves. Shaw and most of the intellectuals belong to a class apart. They gen erally recogniz e their separation from the crowd and glory in it. The intellectual habitually stands at the street corners and thanks God that he is not as other men. The glory of Bunyan and Charles Dickens is that they stood at the street cor ners and thanked God that they were as other men. "Wells has many affinities with Dickens. He does not possess Dick ens' glorious humor. He has neevr been able to realize that even in mean streets life may have its thrills, but he belongs essentially, as Dickens belonged, to the English ' lower middle class. Wells is an articulate man of the people. And this is the fact that gives him his peculiar importance in the modern world. Arnold Bennett springs from the same class. But there is a vast spiritual difference between the two men. Bennett writes with com posure.- Wells writes with enthus iasm. .Bennett is a critic - Wells is a crusader. Bennett ia a conscious literary artist who has been vastly influenced by the great French mas ters. Wells uses his pen to "bash away at the minxes." ' His genius compels the world to listen to him, and the world listens the more at tentively because his is not the voice of a visitor from Mars, but of a superman in the street. Mr. 'Wells No Aristocrat. H. G. Wells was born in 1866. He has himself written the story Of his early years. He says: "I was born in that queer indefi nite class that we call in England the middle class.- 1 am not a bit aristocratic; I do not know any of my ancestors beyond my grandpar ents, and. about them I do not know very mucn, because I am the young est ion of my father and mother, and their parents were all dead be fore I was born. "My mother was the daughter of an inn keeper at a place named Midhurst, who supplied post horses to the coaches before the railways i came: my father was the son of the head gardener of Lord de Lisle at Penshurst Castle, In Kent. They had various changes of fortune and position. For most of his" life my father kept a little shop in a sub urb of London, and eked out his resources by playing a game called cricket, which is not only a pas time but a sjiow which people will pay to see, and which, therefore, af fords a living for professional play ers. His shop was unsuccessful, and my mother, who had once been a lady's maid, became, when I was 12 years old, housekeeper in a large country house. , Shop . Pound Unsattsf aetory. too, was destined to be a shop keeper. I left school at 13 for that purpose. I was apprenticed first to a chemist, and, that proving unsat isfactory, to a draper. But after a year or so it became evident to me that the facilities for higher educa tion that were and still are con stantly increasing in England, of fered me better chances in life than a shop and comparative illiteracy could do; and so I struggled for and got various grants and scholar ships that enabled me to study and to take a degree in science and some mediocre honors in the new and now great and growing University of London. ' "After I had graduated I taught biology for two or three year and then became a journalist, partly be cause it is a more remunerative pro fession in England than teaching, but partly also because I had al ways taken the keenest interest in writing English. Some little kink in my mind had always made the writing of prose very interesting to me. "I began first to write literary articles, criticisms and so forth, and presently short imaginative stories in which, I made use of the teeming suggestions of modern Bcience. There is a considerable demand for this sort of fiction in Great Britain and America, and my first book, The Time Machine,' published in 1895, attracted considerable atten tion, and with two of its succes sors, 'The War of the Worlds' and "The Invisible Man gave me a suffi cient popularity to enable me to de vote myself exclusively, and with a certain sense of security, to purely literary work." Two to Make a Bargain.' , Exchange. "Don't you think it is wrong to go fishing pn Sunday?" asked the good aeaeon.
