say that healthy salmon can swim
faster than any tropedo boat. Here is
some evidence on the subject:
Frank Arey. of Winterport, went
fishing the other day at the pool below
Bangor Dam tMe,. He landed two
small sa lmon on the food tide. About
II 30 a. m. he struck big one. which
caused his rod to bend until it was
perilously near the breaking point.
Then the salmon darted under the
boat. and catching the line against The
keel, severed the fly and leader from
the silk string and escaped.
/ Disguised with his luck. the young
nan landed and went to Bangor II:

On comparing watches. father and

at the rate Of four miles an hour. Ar

ROPE OF THE ANClENTS.

1t Was Made of Fiber, Leather and

Ropes made OF various kinds Of fiber
and leather are Of very ancient date.
Ropes Of palm have been found in
Egypt in the tombs of Benz Hassan
about 5000 Il. c.. and on the walls
Of these tombs Is also shown the proc

In a tomb at Thebes of the time OF
Thothmes Ill. about 1900 B. c. is a
group representing the process OF
twisting thongs of leather and the
method Of cutting leather into thongs.
The Bible tells us that Samson was
bound with ropes. and that the spies

At Nimrud. Asyria, carved slab
showing the siege Of castle was
found on which soldier was repre-
scented in the act OF cutting a rope to
which a bucket for drawing water
from a we'll outside the castle walls
was attached.
The wire rope is generally consider

modern skill, and ii will surprise many
to learn that its manufacture Is really
rediscOvered lost art.
Although the Assyrians practiced the
art of wire beating, no evidence has
been found to indicate that they used

significant as those that we ought to
strike for. We must strike against the
services Of the devil and the wages
that he always pays. Think as you will
about this subject. you must admit
that there is a spirit Of evil in the
world. He who does the DEVILS work
is in his service. Every untrue word,
every fragment of dtabclical gossip,
every unholy insinuation, every syl-
able of slander, every word that
wounds sensitive souls, every false
witness against our neighbor, every
influence that makes it easier for
some one to do wrong or harder for
some one to do right, every dishonest
action, every word or work that blocks
the wheels Of the car Of righteousness,
is part Of the DEVILS work. And who
ever does the DEVILS work will get the
DEVILS pay. He pays promptly; pay
big wages; pays on an ever increasing
scale. and pays through all eternity.
The wages of sin are death. To work
for the devil is to suffer the death of
the spiritual; the death OF the finer
sensibilities of the soul ;the death Of
self respect; the death of peace, cour-
age and hope. The devil pays in the
pangs of remorse. broken constitution
and the blackness of the darkness Of
despair. It will be worth while to strike
against his work and service and to
strike hard.

PREACHER ADVISES. MEN
TO STRIKE FOR RIGHT
Chicago Divine Urges His
Hearers to Strike for God
and Against Satan.
Many Things AS Significant
to Strike Against AS to
Strike For.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept 22.-Last Sum
day evening DR.. Polemus II. Swift
preched in Wesley M. E. Church on
the theme: THE Strike Worth While"
He said:
Every sane strike is born Of a desire
to better conditions of to break the
force of a trend toward worse con-
dltions. There is force that forever
tends to drag men downward. There
is current that flows about our lives
that Is moving ever upward. AS we face
the moral and spiritual realm for a
moment we see abundant reasons for
new strike that will be worth while.
No soul is at standstill. To be sat-
isfied with ourselves Is to yield to the
downward impulse. Every man is con-
scious that he might have done better.
There are some things that we ought
to strike for and there are some that
We ought to strike against with all
our hearts
We ought to strike for a better ex-
perience for a new birth from above,
for a larger measure Of power. God
has filled this old world of ours with
mighty forces. There is the might of
Stedin' eAcc~'iS1Is' HldSuet1sHl, Iall1ng
water, chemical affinity, steel, sunlight
and a hundred others. As men have
ignored these forces they have remain
ed savages. AS they have appropriated
and obeyed them they have marched
with steady step to higher levels of
civilization. God has not been less gen.
erous In the spiritual world.
We can be strong il we will to break
the downward trend that has touched .
our lives. Science says Obey the law of
the force and the force will serve. YOU.
That law. holds for every realm. Obey
Jesus Christ and He will fill you with

AMAZING NUMBER Of
CHILDREN EMPLOYED
John Mitchell Writes Strongly
About Employment of Lit
tie Children.
Tells Something About the
Harsh and Cruel Treatment
Accorded Them.

John Mitchell says: There are ov-
er 10000 children employed in the
manufacturing industries of the coun-
try.
"a third of the children engaged in
manufacturing are employed in the
cotton industry, but many more are
employed in tobacco factories in the
manufacture Of cigars, paper boxes,
picture frames, feather, neckties, arti-
ficial flowers and boots and shoes.
although the age at which chill
dren may begin to work is gradually
being raised, the factories in the south
ern states still employ children Of 10
and even eight and seven years.
"By means of trades-union activity
the number Of children engaged in
manufacturing in the northern states
of the union has gradually been re-
duced, and the total so engaged
throughout the country appears to
have been less in 1900 than in 1880.
But the labor force of the cotton
and tobacco factories Is being con-
stantly recruited from the small chill
dren Of those regions, and exploitation
there is practically unrestricted.
The character of some Of these mills,
operating at enormous profits and
building upon the unmerciful epxloita-
ton of children, beggars description.
"The children are subjected to the
harshest and most brutal tyranny, are
compelled to over strain and over ex-
ert themselves and toa>wear out their
young lives in the eternal struggle to
keep up with the machine. -: s..
".The effect Of this employment of

People by Recall System Re-
turn Guilty Aldermen to

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept. 22.-For

publican government the Impeachment
OF an unfaithful public servant has
been sustained at the polls. 80
Growing out of the action of a cabal
III the city council OF this city known
as the Big Six" in awarding the con-
tract Ter the c1ty's printing to the Los
Angeles Times at $4,000 a year In ex-
cess OF the highest bid of its competi-
tors, and the ratification Of this action
over the veto of Mayor M P. Snyder,
has been invoked that provision of the
city charter which provides for the re-
call and retirement to private life of
OFFICIALS guilty Of unfaithful service.
Immediately on the passage of the
bill awarding the printing contract to
the Times the Good Government Leag-
ue began agitation for the recall of the
SIX aldermen who constituted ma
1ority Of the council, and whose acts
IN the matter of granting franchises
etc., had been unsatisfactory for
months. Councilman J. D. Davenport OF
the Sixth Ward-the working1nens
ward and the worst sufferer at the
hands of the big stx'-was selected
as the first to be recalled.
Following the provisions Of the char
ter, a petition was started, the mini
mum number of signatures of which
must be rs per cent of the voters of
the ward Within two weeks it bore
1900 signatures out of 1854 votes cast
at the previous election.
This petition was presented to the
city clerk for the certification Of the
names 1t bore. 1t was checked against
the city directory by that official and
was thrown out for the reason that
many fthe addresses placed opposite
the names did not tally with the di-
rectory.
Another petition was started Other
charges were added and the second
document received more signatures
than the first.

party in the 5Oth district. OF all the
citizens of the district Mr.. Miller is the
last man that should have been cl1os-

opinions on any subject; cannot carry
on an intelligent discussion on any mat

people Of this district, and is totally in
