great fsvorites-that is to say, decks in
which the high cards are little wider
than the rest, and cut slightly wedge shape,

and great deal of glass work was done.
What on earth Is glass work ?"
"The use of convex mirror about the
size Of silver dime. 1t is fastened with
opposite the thumb, and reflects the cards
as dealt. Gamblers generally made them
by buying those little silvered glass globes
used for children's Christmas trees, and
breaking out piece. Sometimes the mir
rors were set in silver dollars and laid
carelessly on the table; but that is all
gone by now, and to-day a man must be
able to take a square deck of cards and do
all his work without apparatus. In poker
the expert short card player will make up
the hand he wants out Of the discards, or
else hold out the necessary cards until
he gets enough and it is his deal. Then be
drops it on the top Of the deck and per-
forms very neat little piece Of work
known as 'top.shufiling,' which consists in
shutting the lower halt Of the deck oyel
the upper half without disturbing IT.
When this is over the hand he wants II
still on top. The cut, OF course, buries it,
but by very simple movement he get:
the cards back in their original condition
This is called shifting the cut, and cal
be done with one hand or two. Nothini
then remains but to 20 ahead and deal
Dexterity in over-shuf1ing and shifting
the cut are the two things that modern
gamblers cultivate in all their leisur'
hours, and with these accomplishments
and GOODNESS and nerve, little else is re
quired.
'In casino" continued Mr.. Mcclellan
meditatiyely "the deck is generally scratch

progress. The gambler has his thumb mai
trimmed to a hard, round point, and when

The Kennebec Bridge.

We are indebted TO the excellent memory
merous occasions furnished the Journal
scribes with correct data on matters of local
history for the fact that the kennebec bridge
advertised in the American Advocate" of
August 22nd, 1918 as open for the first time
to the public, was not the present Kennebec
Bridge as is quite generally supposed.
In fact the present bridge is the
third that has spanned our river. Reference
to North's history Of Augusta shows that the
first kennebec bridge was built in the sum
mer of 1897 under the superintendent of
Capt. Boynton, skilled architect. This
bridge stood without covering for nearly
twenty years. 1t had become decayed and
unsafe for travel with carriages, and finally
fell of its own weight. For two years ferry
1918 the bridge was rebuilt in most sub
stantial manner, and open as announced in
the Advocate. This bridge was burned
April 2, 1927. 1t was then that the present
otuSe was consructeu N0rln history,
page 1861 says of this Immediate meas
ures were taken to rebuild the bridge Under
the superintendent of Ephraim Ballard the
work was pushed forward with unexampled
despatch for this region. Most of the timber
of which it was constructed was standing in
the forest on the fifth of June, yet the bridge
was made passable for foot passengers on the
third of August, and for carriages on the
eighteenth of the same month"; This
was one hundred and thirty eight
days from the day on which it
the time when most of the timber was stand
ing in the woods. The bridge erected at
this time continues to the present time, an
enduring monument of faithful workman
ship.
The speed with which the trees of the
forest were converted into the timber of this
bridge would seem almost incredible
were it not for the fact that ir these days of
Western boom the American people have be-
come accustomed to seeing not only houses
but fourishing villages and cities spring up,
almost like Jonah's gourl, in single night
"Our First Century by h. NJ. Devens, in
relating the story of Commodore Nc
Donough's great naval victory on Lake
Champlain, shows something of the rapidity
with which even naval ar ,hitecture can be
pushed under the stimulus of necessity He
says, one of the American vessels had been
built with almost incredible despatch; eigh-
teen days before, the trees of which it was
constructed were actually growing on the
shores of the lake.
So we see that our Kennebec bridge was
not such miracle of "push" as it seemed to
be at the time of its erection. 1t was, how
ever, miracle of completeness and strength.
and will doubtless do the city much more
service in the future.
The bridge was originally built by stock
company and used as toll bridge, but came
into the hands of the city in 1860.

Yesterday was Easter Sunday. and as typi-
it in this climate. Easter, so old and vet so
new, fragrant with flowers and trimming
with song, so in unison with the glad hopes
in the human breast, which the springtime
rekindles, wrought its influence yesterday
on pastor and people. The words of the ser
mons were fraught with it, restfulness. The
people, many of whom in the past have been
negligent in church attendance, came out to
their respective churches. and went to their
homes the happier for so doing and stronger
in the bonds of human kiuship
We give below the following synopsis of
the Easter services held at the different
churches
