Tallentire rendered several violin so

several numbers.
Toastmaster Poe referred touching
ly to the terrible calamity that took
away three of the members of their
fraternity. He then called on Chief
Clerk Arthur l.. Behymer to make a
few eulogistic remarks on Burt H.
Hatfield, the elder of the three. The
speaker was a close friend of the de-

accident which killed Clerk Dearborn
in 1890, when Hatfield was working
alongside him.

He then went on to say that he
thinks that congress does not make
proper discrimination between the de-
serving and what is not deserving. He
thinks that the demands made by the
clerks are not unjust. He paid a high
compliment to the intellectually of
the clerks. He thinks they have been
modest in their requests from the gov
eminent.

Killing and Canning The Salmon

Ten thousand people are in the salmon catching and canning
business. The season is short and the harvest is said to be uncer-
tain. The salmon run, as it is caled-the plunge of the mating
pairs to the nesting grounds far up stream from the sea, lasts from
one to three weeks only. Yet 100000 to 100000 cases, each
containing forty eight onepound cans, are packed annually, with
AZ OOO,O 900 fish, and the market value of the product is $2S,OOO,Ooo.
There are 200 canning plants along the Pacific Coast from Call
fornia to Alaska, and SO many thousands of snares for the hnny
victims that newcomers in the trade actually have difficulty to
find places in which to spread their own decoys.
1t is a short time they have and the work Is fast and furious
and has in it all the ruthlessness of other such killings. The
fish must be dressed and canned while they are fresh and hrm,
and the speed to handle at the canneries the huge takes d the
multitude Of fishermen must be great. The hands OF men are
too slow for the work. Even specialists-and there were mutl-
tudes of them a very few years since-in the art of cleaning fish,
are useless. A short time ago thousands OF Chinese employed
in the canneries, who did nothing else and knew almost nothing else
but to WELD the knife over the salmon, worked with almost incredible
skill to keep pace with the supply. Now a machine, called the Iron
Chirk. because it does the human Chinks work-or rather the work
of many Chinks lis established in each factory and turns the shining
river beauties into eatables at the rate of one q second instead OF the
hand rate of one a minute that used to be a boast. A two horse
power engine thus does the work OF 60 Chinese workers, for each
machine contents itself with so little power. = Technical World

Persistency As a Factor of Success

When genius has failed in what it attempted, and talent says
~impossible; when every other faculty gives way; when tact ret'res
and diplomacy has fed; when logic and argument and influence
and "pulls" have all done their best and retired from the field,
gritty persistency, bulldog tenacity, steps in, and, by sheer force
of holding on, wins, gets the order, closes the contract, does the
impossible. All, what miracles tenacty of purpose has performed
The last to leave the field, the last to turn back, it persists when
all other forces have surrendered and fled. 1t has won many a
battle, even after hope has left the field.
Confederate commanders in the Civil War said that the
trouble with General Grant was that "he never knew when he
was beaten" When Grants generals thought that his army, with
only two transports, would be trapped at Vicksburg, they asked
him how he expected to get his men out, urging that, in case Of
defeat, he could get only a small part of his army upon two
transports. He told them that two would be plenty Tor all the
men that he would have left when he surrendered.
1t is the man in the business world who will not surrender
who will not take no for an answer, and who stands his ground
with such suavity of manner, such politeness, that you canno'
take ofense, cannot turn him down, that gets the order; that
closes the contract; that gets the subscription; that gets the credit
or the loan.
He is a very fortunate man who combines a gracious man
q suayity. cordiaity, cheerfulness, with that logged persistency
which never gives up-Orison SWEET Marden in Success

The appointment of Charles r.

pequires special interest because of
the recent negotiations to secure
American participation in the Chinese

lent feeling that the present time at
fords a great opportunity for the Unit

fuence over Chinese commercial devel-
opment. President Taft mad been

he saw a notice one morning In his

was no less than an announcement
Of his stenographer. TRULY Middle

for mayor at the coming election.
Now, there had been the best Of feel
ing between the two men. Merriam
had raised Middlebrook's salary sew
eral times and had supposed that the
stenographer was devoted to him.
"Mr. Middlebrook." said Merriam. Il

perfect right to run for office against
me. but-but-well, your action Is just
like a thousand things your predeces-
sors have done who were-women.
That's ALL"
Mr.. Middlebrook withdrew without a
word, and what filed the measure Of
his employers establishment was that
he thought he saw a tear In his stenog-
rapher's eye.
There was another surprise In store
for Mr.. Merriam. A few days before
the election his political manager came
to him to say that Middlebrook. who

would surely be elected. Merriam was
dumfounded. He asked his manager
what was the secret Of Middlebrook's
strength and was informed that he had
some mysterious influence over the
women which was turned to account
In gaining the votes of the men.
From this announcement to the day
before the election the official inter
course between Merriam and his ste
nographer was extremely embarrassing
for both, though especially so for the
latter. Merriam had accepted the sit
uation. He was still puzzled at bis
employee interposing himself between
him and the office he coveted, but he
was above lifting a finger to defeat
that employees intention. The even

In speaking Of the matter the newly
appointed minister to China expressed
his qualification at the outcome q
took pains to make 1t plain that the
desire OF the United States to share In
the loan was not duo to hope OF hnan-

patriotic in the matter. They have no
expectation Of any unusual profit be

realize what this matter means to u

Katherine Gle was an up to date
young woman. Her sex had come to
occupy many positions formerly filed
by men. but there was one Of which
she considered women did not get
their share. The political offices were
still held almost exclusively by men.
Katherine was interested In the mat
ter not because she relished a struggle
with the men for woman's rights, but
because she wanted an Office. She pro-
posed to herself a short cut to equalize
her chances with them. She would
seek an Office not as O woman, but as
a man.
Not long after Katherine Gle came
