MANY IMPROVEMENTS DOWN PIKE STREET

Side; the new bridge Is about the same
in width as the Fairmont street
bridge, but has instead only one side
walk: the new bridge, of course. is
narrower by the one walk.
Amount Of Materials.
In the bridge there VIII be used 165
tons OF steel and $4,000 feet Of lum-
,ber.
The Contractors.
Joe Fuccy, of Weston, has the con-
tract for the grading work, which is
now almost finished; he also is do
ing the masonry work. The contract
for the material In tho bridge itself
and for the erection thereof, was
awarded to McClintoc Marshall Con.
struction Company, Of Pittsbure.
They are rapidly pushing the work
along; all trestles arc up except the
115:foot span over the creek.
The Cost.
II is almost impossible to know
what any bridge win cost before 1t is
finished; there are always difficulties
turning up which the expenditure Of
money alone can overcome. So it is
almost impossible at present to say
definitely what the cost Of the bridge
will be. However, 1t is estimated that
this one will cost something less than
$4,000.
Other Bridges.

Beware of Purse Carrier.

Some girls are captious when il
comes 10 judging the fiances. A GER
tain belle has broken her engagement
because her future lord carried his
money in a purse. He had the habit
of taking out that small contrivance
for silver and lingering it when he
was talking to his loved one, and the
habit annoyed her so much she de
cided she could not be happy with
such a man. She enlightened her
friends with the statement Of her be

could carry his money in a purse
That was a true sign Of a sordiG ra-

a thing would be sure to dole out

Clerks Reminder.

Some years ago. in the days when
the psalms were read in the church
of England, a service was being held
in a country parish in South Devon.
The parish clerk was slightly deaf.
From the reading desk the rector
could see into an orchard adjoining
the churChyard. He had come TO the
end OF one OF the psalms, when. in
stead of saying, Glory be to the Fa-
Their" etc he spoke as follows:

right to let you know that there are
boys in your orchard stealing the ap-
pies
