DO you remember the spnn over the
South Channel Mt Cornwall, Ontario,
in 1898? can tell you exactly the
time--it was almost noon. on the 9th
of September. on Tuesday-when the
pier gave way. There were sixteen
men killed liz that. The bridge was
almost finished, and was ready to turn
over to the railroad people In a week
or two. 1t had three camelback spans,
and its piers were supposed to be on
blue hard pan. A cofferdam had been
built over one of these and filled up
with concrete and cement. Big, solid
blocks of stone had been put upon that.
we had been given the foundations
for it all right, and we'd put our iron
work on that. There was a big trav-
eler up, and when the pier gave and
two spans crumbled with a crack the
traveller, of course, came down. One
man ON 1t never tried to jump. and
rode the traveller as it fell, hanging on
to cord (of steeD. He was never
hurt. That particular steel bar hap
pened to stop ten feet away from the
water. and he simply climbed off.
"Once," said Billy, returning to his
"reminiscences, "a man l knew, who
was working on the ridge of an iron
house roof, lost his hold and com
menced to slide down the corrugated
iron. 1t was slide of about twenty
five feet to the edge, and then came a
drop of fifty feet, as he knew, on some
heaps of scrap-iron. Down he went,
and just at the edge rivet caught his
corduroys and held him there. Les

"Quecr brute, ain't IT." Tom would
say to his wife. Then he would tease
1t by poliing his finger into the cage
and pretending to abuse his wife,
which the parrot very soon learned TO
resent. The bird was jealous, In fact,
and 1t soon came about that whenever

Improve Country and Town.

One of the essentials in this life is a
good road from the farm to the mar
ket The product of the farm can be
marketed at lower cost. This means
that you can buy more for your mon
ey. 1t saves your live stock. The
farmer need not send up the country
for 80 many horses and mules. One
horse can draw more on a good road
than two can on bad road. Good
roads and street sprinlEling improve

A MOVE OF IRON WORKERS
Asked Workmen TO Sign Contract Re
pudiating Unions.

Plttsburg, July 1.-THE National
lube Works company at McheespOrt
has made an unexpected move intended
TO checkmate the AnaIagmated assU.
citation. Their skilled workmen have
been asked to sign individual contracts
TO practically repudlate any labor
union, and they have been given but a
short time to think It over. 1t l. un-
derstood that should they not sign
these contracts they will find their
positions vacant.
1t transpired that late Thursday
evening 90 welders OF the mills were
paid OF and taken off into the Office OF
the general perIntendeut where
they were presented with individual
contrsc :, to be signed for at least
one year. Some demurred, while
others signed the contracts.
This movement OF fighting fire with
ire carried CONSERVATION into the
ranks OF the strikers. rne welders are
highly skilled workmen, and with
their cooperation the big plant could
be closed down. With them in line
the plant will probably keep on run
ming as t nothing had hal pened. 1t
was intImated tonight by the friends
OF the welders that they would all sign
the contracts.

would be an acknowledgment that 1t
