MAKING A FARM BRIDGE.
The Structure Here Described Ha.
Nithstood the Freshets or two
Rainy Springs.

we nave recently built a new bridge
across the creek on our farm. This
creek is the center of a wide ravine-
pasture and the peach orchards are on
the high ground on the farther side. A
good bridge is therefore u necessity 10
us. The difficulty, however, has been
to get a bridge which would not be ex-
orbltant in cost and yet which would
be capable of withstanding the spring
f~reshets. The entire creek bottom
land is often o~verfiowed, and ordinary
bridges are quickly undermined or
else they float away onto some other
fellows land. But l think the problem
is now solved.
AS stone is scarce in our part of the
country (and as we are not million
aires) a wooden bridge was the only
thing to consider. The span of the
~creek-bed proper is about 16 feet, and
the bill for the material footed up as
follows:
Three 6x6x1s pine stringers.... 3 90
Plank rail (2x4's), nails........ 7 IS

The first thing done was to sharpen

side of the creek-bed. and three in the
center of the bed. q have placed black
dots on the accompanying cut, show
ing the location of these posts.) Next,
using some old planking from a former
bridge, the outer side of each approach
was planked up vertically from the
creek-bed to the top of the posts.
Then the short spaces between bank
and abutment were filled in with old
logs, rubbish. sod and dirt-making a
nicely graded, inclined approach on
each side of the creek. The inclined ap-
proaches were necessary because we
desired to have the bridge floor as high
as would be conveniently possible, so
as to have it above the height of the
ordinary spring overflow.
Next, the stringers were put on and
firmly nailed to each abutment and to
he central supports. We tried in

LETTER TO SANTA CLAUa

About to start upon his round
 With all his Christmas plumber, Old Santa Claus. a letter found
 That made him stop and wonder. Twas scrubbed In childish nst, The letters shaped at random; His face got all into a twist
 As OCT and OCT he scanned 'em- The letters he could scarce make out, The meaning. scarce could render, But when he found what twas about His face grew mild and tender. Dear Santa Claus: l knows full well You loves us little people, And piles O things your team can pull Ger chimney tops and steeples> ''They's lots O little children here. Whats waitin' for your comin'. Pile on your load, hitch all your dear a And set your craft huuamin' When you comes down about our town They's many to remember. The children poor are by the score And this here 8 in December. There's little ragged barefoot Jim, Whose papa's gone to drinktn'. He said he knowed for sieh as him You'd never bother thinkin'. That sich as him was all forgot;
 That Christmas times was dreary. His papa is a drunken sot;
 His mamma worn and weary. His little sister. May. what died Will need no playthings, never. They brings her other things beside Forever and forever. l own Il makes me kInder sad,
 Though m not fond of sorrow. I thinks of all I wish Jim mad
 To make him glad tomorrow. And then there's little blue-eyed Nell, Whose papa was the drummer What got killed when the trsstle fell And wrecked the train last summer. She has a brother ten years old,
 But she Is only seven: Her hair Is just like shinin' gold. Her eyes as blue as Heaven And then that little Arab, Ralph. Who once was sich a stranger, They found him on the streets waif And took him to Mother Granger. He was a bundle of old rags And cry1n' when they found him. And tuggn' at the strings and tags That fiounced and duttered round him. But now he's bigger, grown, you know. His heart with feelin bubbles. He'd like to have, as children do, His toys, as well as troubles. They's many more, l can't call OCT, The numbers so bewilderin'. This Xmas nineteen hundred and two Remember all the children The good man read the letter through With many a frown and wrinkle, As he bethought him what to do, His eyes did dance and twinkle. A moment more, he seized the rein, The team and cargo started, And faster than a railroad train Into the night he darted. The team dashed on, and high and higher The magic car ascended. The deer's hoofs scattered streaks of fire And on his way he wended On, on through space he drove apace In darkness disappearing. The rattling hoofs went CT the roofs Too light for mortal hearing.
