Lillian and Dorothy Gish.

"Romola," in which the famous
Gish sisters, Lillian and Dorothy,
will appear, will be shown at the
Drigo theatre, Monday and Tues
day of next week.
1t is a singular fact that most of
the great successes on the screen
and on the speaking stage have been
made by those who commenced as
children. This applies particularly
to Lillian and Dorothy Gish, both of
whom began as children and
learned the art by slow and careful
processes.
Out of this experience came, for
Lillian in particular, such triumphs
as were hers in 1.-THE Birth of
Nation,' "Hearts of the World"
"Broken Blossoms" "Way Down
East" and others.
And so when the talented Lillian
and Dorothy came to the making OF
"Romola," each brought to the task
a very varied experience. These two
brilliant girls, as children, learned
to express thoughts and emotion
wildly and ineerely-somethin
that is not so easily learned as one
might suppose.-Advt.

Some Interesting Side Lights on the
"GOod Old DAYS.

oOHlC HoAuC A>AeAAN
GOOD Old Days."
Walter P. Pho, looking over some
old records of Ellsworth, found the
following items which he passes
along to The American as of interest
to it's readers:
The Union river was great
spawning and fishing ground for sal
mon The Indians and settlers
speared them in the eddies and
pools. After the mill dam was
built, the salmon began to grow less,
there being no fishways to allow
them to ascend the river.
They were taken in nets made Tor
the purpose These nets were from
fifty to sixty feet long and from five
to six feet deep, with wooden floats
on top line and lead sinkers on the
lower. The meshes were about two
inches square. This net was cast
from a batteau while being padded
across the river. The salmon in the
pools and rips were caught by the
gills in attempting to go through
the meshes of the nets.
In 1885, below the dam, salmon
weighing from eighteen to thirty
five pounds were caught, several on
one drift of the net; also a large
number of shad. To-day, on the
west bank of Union river few rods
below the power dam, may be seen
salmon rock, SO named by the set
tiers.
The Ellsworth American of 1857
printed the folloWing: "A man
from Surry came to town one sun
day morning with founders for sale
Calling at a house to make sale
he was told that most people hao
beans for their Sunday breakfast
"Why!" said the peddler, sis this
