Rev. T. B. Cowgirl Reads the Second
Chapter Of Serial.
Pants a Picture Of Those Who Are
Employed in Factories.
Man, underpaid Women Are Forced
To Lead Immoral Lives.
Fight for Bread ard an Existence in
the Large Cities.
From Mondays Daily.

DIR. Cowgirl read the second chap
ter of his serial .''The Christian City" to
his congregation last evening, and it dealt
with the privations and temptations of a
poor girl in one of Americas modern
cities. He spoke of the factory girl who
is compelled to work long hours, always
at rapid speed which is sure to finally
shatter her nerves, and who receives but
a pittance at the end of the week, often
scarcely enough to pay her board. The
picture was not overdrawn for hundreds
of Just such cases could be found in any
large city today. The proprietors of the
establishments in which these girls work,
however, live, without exception, in finely
furnished mansions and are surrounded
with all the comforts that heart could
wish and they are without exception
church goers. Is there not then some
thing wrong here with the social sys-
TEN? Does the Christian church do its
duty when it allows such tyrany to exist
and does not cry out against it? The
fact is some of the proprietors of just
such establishments are church members
in good standing. Is it to be wondered
at then that many have lost faith in the
ability of the church to better their con-
ditions and are consequently looking to
socialism for help?
1t is well known fact that the moral
conditions in many manufacturing estab
ishments and i'll some large stores in the
larger cities are not what they should be
and these conditions were described in
the story last night. DIR. Cowgirl stated
that he was not presenting fiction but
facts, the greater number of which he
had himself collected.
The story was well presented and
everyone present was exceedingly in
terested. The moral lessons were strong
and the whole story certainly suggest
ed wide field of labor for Christian peo-
pie; indeed, different view of the
church from what is now held by many
who pose as Christians.
At the close of his story Dr. Cowgirl
read a few pages from Helen Campbell's
book which describes the conditions of
the factory girl in New York city and
shows how many are tempted to become
immoral simply because they cannot
earn enough by hard, honest labor to
feed and clothe themselves even in the
simplest manner.
Mrs. Cowgirl and Miss Ross sang a
duet my Savior Knows and the hymns
were sung by chorus choir.
The title of chapter three of the
Christian City, which will be read next
Sunday evening is 'The Servant in the
Palace"

A blessing to suffering public.
Here is Mankato proof to back our
statement:

street says: II was continually irritat-

Woman of Nerve and Grit.

This is indeed the age Of woman. A
bicycle policeman" who stops a runa-
way and escapes without injury is sure Of
a notice in the papers, and may be men
toned in general orders. What, then,
shall be said of a woman bicyclist Of
whom the New York Sun tells? She
was riding toward her home, in New Jer-
sey, carrying a basketful of eggs on
one arm, when a runaway horse dashed
toward her. Being an expert bicyclist
as we'll as a person of courage, the wom-
an turned, rode along beside the horse,
seized the bride and stopped him, not
only without injury to herself or to her
wheel, but without breaking an egg! A
man who should try to do such a thing
would be glad to escape with an i'm
promptu and underdone omelet.

SPEED OF FLOATING OBJECTS.
Move Faster Down stream Than the
Body of Fluid tpon Which
They Ride.

Can objects float down stream faster
than the water? This apparently alb
surd question is seriously answered in
the affirmative by Howard A. Coombs,
says the American Machinist. The
fact that objects floating in running wa
ter may move faster than the water it.
self was first noted, according to Mr..
Coombs, by an officer in the British
army, Gen. Sir Samuel Bentham, and
his account of how the matter was
brought to his notice is to be found in
his letters published after his death.
Says Mr.. Coombs;
when he happened to be at a river
town in Siberia he heard the statement
made that some iron, which was to be
sent down the river, would arrive at its
destination sooner if larger and heavy
barges were employed in place of light
err and smaller boats.
"Sir Samuel maintained that it
would make no difference in the time
whether large or small boats were en-
ployed, but he failed to make any i'm
preston upon the Russians, eminent
engineer though he was, because they
said they knew better from experience.
Both parties were obstinate and Sir
Samuel left without an opportunity of
putting the matter to a test.
about a year later, however, it hap
pened while he was descending the River
Angora that he noticed that the bark he
was in, which Vas being propelled by
the current only, was travelling much
faster than the pieces of wood and other
debris floating on the surface of the
stream. He says: | was astonished at
this phenomenon and presently recol-
lected my dispute with the people at
Nigni Faghil.' He then proceeded to en-
pertinent, embarking himself in a
small boat, but one thing, which was
rapidly left behind by the larger vessel.
The cause Of the difference in speed was
not in, the depth of the draft, for the
barge or bark was very shallow, being
flat-bottomed. He finally reasoned as
follows. Rivers consist of water run
ming down IN inclined plane by the force
Of gravity. We're it not for the resist
ance the water meets with in the bed
of the river, as well at the bottom as at
the sides, the water would run down in
flnitely faster. Bodies floating on this
running water are acted upon also by the
force of gravity; they have a tendency to
move"
