Things We Never Catch.
7 have often pondered deeply
Where's the reason that it'sso,
For Of course there is reason,
But 1 never came to know,
But at evening when returning
From fish, there comes the thought
Hasthere ever been the equal
OF the fish never caught
When I saw my cork 90 under,
And the pole begin to bend,
Icould swear he'd tipit twe.ty-
Would have laughed aloud at ten.
But the cypress knees would tangle'
Then badly broken line,
And a fisher luck" and fortune
ON the homeward trip were mine.
hive otter thought in silence
OF the rosy featured girl,
OF the time when worlds were nothing
TO single pretty curl.
But there's seven kids parading,
There's a fearful, fearful thought
lust suppose l was the hubby
OF the girl never caught
Then often think with pleasureE0
OF the physics, powders pills.
of the calomel and pellets
For the cure of natures ills,
Of the many dollars speeded'
Many patent BOTTLES bought,
But haze consolation
In the mumps I never caught.

EXA00ERAIION
Rev. Blythe Discusses This Phase
of Dishonesty.

Honesty is the pivot of oil the virtues.
IL Is also the foundation virtue. II q
man is dishonest he is altogeth ~ bad.
lie may be noted for many other good
things, but these are superficial actions
and hot the outcome of principals.
Norling good can grow in dishc nest
soil. To tell the exact truth under any
and all circumstances is rare occur
renee with many. Some are strictly
honest and are regarded 10y all who
know them "as honest as the days
are long"
Are the days Of Honest Abe gomez
Some say so. Can't we trust people
now as iormerlyY 1t is true that the
earlier days OF any people are marked
by o strictness and strenuousuess that
fade in the dav of ripe civilization.
The type OF manhood changes as we
pass from pioneer times TO Progressive
commercialism. The tendency is TO
ward seliishness and selfishness crops
out in all forms of dishonest doings
There my be more dishonest people
now than in the days Of our grandfath-
ers. There are also more honest people
now than then. Perhaps they don I
stand out with such prominence az did
our honest forefathers; but he who is
unwilling TO trust his neighbors ought
himself to be watched. M emphasis
should be laid on the teaching of homes
ty in all Of its forms. A sentiment
should revail against form Of dis.
: honesty that many hoot at,viz: eXagger.
{ ting. How easy it is TO tell u thing
with some added remarks that change
the meaning and leave a false impress
sion. Some folks tell things so big that
nobody will believe what they say and
in this way excuse themselves for lying.
This is gross habit. Great care
sh ould be taken to tell the exact truth
in all jokes and stories which in them
selves may be harmless but il told with
exnggerations the repeater has thought
lessly robbed his character of genuine
honesty.
The reason why people exaggerate is
| none other than that they desire to
gain their point IN telling story or he
impressive in spinning a joke, They try to
see who can tell the biggest tale aud 10
70 doirg they go to extremes. Small
things become magnihed to such peo.
pie. For instance: My wife's chickens
arc dying by the thousands. His wife
only had two hundred chickens. Such
eX6ggerating is merely unveiled dis
honesty. j. X. b.

FOR BRIDGE

the building Of the Stone bridge at Tiver-
ton with the two approaches was award
ed by the commissioners to Augustus
Smith. prominent engineer of New York
city.
There were 2l bids received and his was
considered the most favorable. The con-
tract for the approaches was awarded
10 the firm OF Beattie g. Wilcox OF Fall
River.
The design calls for a lift bridge OF the
two-leaf bascule pattern, it's peculiar
character being an Arrangement whereby
the merchanism is operated from the top
OF the bridge. rather than near the lower
line OF the structure. The lift governed
by counterweight. and is connected TO
the bridge by pair OF stiff rods. so that
the bridge may be positively controlled
by the counterweight I'm all positions.
This weight is carried by a pair Of
wagons running on an elevated track OF
such shape that the leaf Is perfectly
balanced at every point. and the winding
mechanism has only 10 overcome froctlon
and wind pressure
The bridge viii be operated on 1s-inch

counterweight tracks have been given an
extra elevation Just before the bridge
reaches its wlde-open position.

Another feature Is the fact that either
