THE BRIDGE.


The following was taken from the
st. Louis Republic Of Tuesday morn
ing. The article was no doubt sent
to the paper by II. NJ. iost, who was
in the city several days in the early
part of the week. 1t indicates that
there is faith generally in the Bridge
project, Which viii certainly DO grat-
flying TO the people Of jefferson
City:
The people Of the capital are be.
ginning 10 be- aroused to the neces.
sity of constructing u wagon bridge
across ,the- Missouri river at this
point. In fact n large sum Of money
for that purpose Is already In sight,
With promises, OF many additional
subscriptions. Two propositions are
now before the Commercial club
looking TO immediate action In the
matter. Estimates have been made
showing that a, wagon bridge a be
constructed connecting Jefferson
City and Cedar City at a cost not TO
exceed three hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars. The business men of
the capital bave taken hold OF the
question 30 earnestly THAT they have
only to decide whether they will Or
game a stock company and build
the bridge themselves, or give a DO.

person or persons who will undertake

There is apparently nc dssat Of

Old Times, Old Friends, Old Love.

BY EUGENE FIELD.
There are no days like the good old
days,
The days when we were youthful:
When humankind were pure of mind
And speech and deeds were truthful:
Before love for sordid gain
Bacame mans ruling passion,
And before each name and mind became
Slave to the tryant fashion
There are no girls like the good old
girls,
Against the world I'd stake 'em!
AS buxom and smart and clean of heart
As the Lord knew how to make 'em
They were rich in spirit and common
sense,
A piety all supportin',
They could bake and brew, and had
taught school, too,
And they made the liveliest courtin' !!
There are no boys like the good old
boys
When we were boys together!
When the grass was sweet to the brown
bare feet
The dimpled laughing heather;
When the pewee sung the summer dawn
Of the bee in the biilow clover,
Or down by the mill the whip.poor-will
Echoed his night song over
There is 10 love like the good old love-
The love that mother gave us!
we are old, old men, yet we pine again
For that precious grace-God save us!
So we dream and dream of the good old
times,
And our hearts grow tenderer, fonder,
AS those soothing dreams being sooth-
ing CLEANS
vi heaven away off yonder.

Aid For Flood Sufferers.

By Southern Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 27.-The
War Department has determined to
extend all possible aid to the suffer
ers from the flood in Louisiana. The
request of the local authorities for
tents was yesterday referred to the
Quartermaster Geneaal, who found,
upon inquiry, that the Department
had in possession 6O2 tents at the
St. Louis depot. Each Of these tents
will accommodate from 10 to II
persons. The Department is now
in communication with the Govern
or of Louisiana and the mayor OF
Lake Providence, and will probably
distribute tents from the latter
point to the homeless people in east
Carroll parish.
