W. T. Stead in London journalism.
His poems have been widely published.
The title poem of his new book, 1.-The

THE PRODIGAL.
Last night the boy came back to me
again,
The laughing boy, all credulous of good.
Long lost, far wandered in the ways of
men,
He came and reused me with an olden
mood.
He came the lover and enthusiast,
Shook off my years and with enlight-
ened eyes
Smiled at the shadow that the world had
cast
And looked at life with all the old sur
prise,
And 1, the slave of patience, took him in,
Gave him my heart and a him well
come home,
Thrilled with his dreams of all I yet may
win
Allured again in golden paths to roam,
And now 1 know life has nc greater joy
Than. having lived, to be once more a boy.

in imminent danger, as it would seem,
of being plunged down into the river
by the collapse of the structure upon
which they work.
Building a bridge in this way in
wolves balancing tricks that only a
very expert engineer can juggle with
successfully. AS the work progresses
the great weight overhanging h wa
ter must be sustained at the shoreward
ends by huge counterpoises and an
chorages, and the steel muscles must
be so nodded that they will stand the
strain imposed upon them without any
name of doubt. No c%antalever bridge
of such a size as this has been built
before, for, although the Forth bridge
in England equals it in length, the lat
ter bridge was constructed to carry
only about one-fifth the weight the
BlackwelFs island bridge will sustain
when traffic is in progress. 1t will
have a capacity of two elevated rail-
road and four trolley car tracks in adj
dition to a thirty-fiye foot c~arriageWay
and two sidewalks. The bridge will
be composed Of three spans, with their
approaches. The span from the Man.
haitian shore to the western shore of
Blackwelrs island is to be 1,132 feet,
that which carries the structure over
the island is $50 feet, and the third
span, between Blackwell's island and
Long Island, is to be $50 feet. The
latter span, which is shown in the ac-
companying illustration, is now more
than halfway across the eastern
branch of the river. In addition to
these three main spans there will be
two spans on each side to reach h an
chorageS set back from the river
banks. The length of the approaches
will bring the total lateral extent of
the bridge to about a mile and a half.
At both the Manhattan. and Queens
terminals there will be handsome pla-
Zas, and these will be made the basis
of an extensive plan of municipal beau
LITIGATION. Although strikes and other
obstacles have impeded the work on
the Blackwelrs island bridge, it has
progressed faster than did the two old
er structures over the East river. This
Is in part due to the use of the canta-
lever method of construction and also
to the circumstance that the great trap
rock stratum underlying the entire re-
gion crops out near the surface in the
section where the bridge piers are placed.
thus doing away with the necessity Of
building caissons or Of much digging

HOW DID YOU DIE?


Did you tackle the trouble that came your
way
With a r~esolute heart and cheerful?
Or hide your face from the light of day,
With a craven soul and fearful?
Oh, a rouble'S q ton or q trouble an
ounce.
Or a trouble is what you make it,
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt hat
counts.
But only how did you take it,
You are beaten to earth? Well. well,
what's that?
Come up with a smiling face.
It's nothing against you to fall down fiat,
But to lie there-that's disgrace.
The harder you're thrown, why the higher
you bounce;
Be proud of your blackened eye!
1t isn't the fact that you're licked that
counts;
It's how did you highland why!
And, though you be done to the death,
what then?
If you battled the best you could,
If you played your part in the world of
men,
Why, the Critic will call it good.
Death comes with a crawl or comes with
a pounce
And, whether he's slow or spry,
It isn't the fact hat you're dead that
counts,
But only how did you die!

PETER M'ARTHUR, POET.
Talented Canadian Bard and His New
Book, "The Prodigal."

"Where are your poets?" asked Am
bassador James Bryce ut a dinner ia
New York recently, and ever since the
now historic question was put efforts
at answering it have been in evidence.
Many writer's of verse, young and old,
have been pointed to as proof that
America has at the present time real
bona fide possessors of poetic genius.
Naturally opinions differ as to the rank
the respective versifiers should take.
The question is especially difficult
when applied to the younger writer's.
Among the latter Is Peter Macarthur, a
Canadian of Scotch descent, now a
New Yorker, who has made a selection
from his privately printed sOnnets and
from his contributions TO the Century,
Atlantic Monthly and other magazines
and embodied them in a volume en-
titled "The Prodigal and Other Poems."

Lord John first contested Devonshire
the burly electors were disappointed
by the physical insignificance of their
candidate, but were satisfied when it
was explained to them that he had
once been much larger, but was worn
away by the anXieties and struggles
of the reform bill of 1882. Lord John
had no memory for faces and was
painfully apt to ignore his political fol-
lowers when he met them beyond the
walls of parliament. Once, staying IL
a Scotch country house, he found him
self thrown with young Lord D., now
Earl of S. He liked the young mans
conversation and was pleased to find
that he was a Wing. When the party
broke up, Lord John conquered his
shyness sufficiently to say to his new
friend, "Well, Lord D., 1 am very glad
to have made your acquaintance, and

Worrying About Pa.

Worrying About Pa.
A preacher had ordered a load of hay
from one Of his parishioners. About
noon, the parishioner's little son came
to the house crying Justify. On being
asked what the matter was, he said
that the load of hay had tipped over in
the street. The preacher, a kindly
man, assured the little fellow that it
was nothing serious, and asked him in
to dinner.
"Pa wouldn't like it," said the boy.
But the preacher assured him that he
would fix it all right with his father
and urged him to take dinner before
going for the hay. After dinner the
boy was asked if he were not glad that
he had stayed.
"Pa won't like it." he persisted.
The preacher, unable to understand,
asked the boy what made him think
his father would object.
"Why, you see, pas under the hay"
explained the bOy.-Everybody's.

BlackwelTs island bridge, IN
Meeting Manhattan and Queens bor-
oughs, New York city. The bridge is
nearing completion and will be the
third to span the East river and con-
nect Manhattan Island with Long Is
land. The oldest Of these structures,
the famous Brooklyn bridge, was open
ed to the public in 1884. The next
bridge built over the East river, the
Williamsburg bridge, was opened in
1903. These bridges connect Manhat-
tan and Brooklyn %bOrOughs. Black
wells island bridge touches the Long
Island shore at Long Island City, which
is in the borough of Queens. The two
bridges now in use are Of the suspen-
sion type, but the new bridge is of
the cantaleyer method of construction.
