WHEN PATIENCE PICKS THE

Fssts ss!s ~ - fsse'f*s
How many times we read in verse such
funny things as these:
When "Sallie Sings or Winnie Walks,
or Sara Sails the Seas;
When @Tessie Trips, or sDora Dips OF
Polly Promenades,
Or laura Laughs or Eva Eyes the
Evening Everglades.
III poets write and people read such funny
things as these,
Why shouldn't some poor poet pen when
Patience Picks the Peas?'
Out in the garden 'mongst the corn and
beans and beets and all,
Where grows the parsnip, peach and punk,
and pigweed rank and tall.
There stands princely row of peas, all
podded up to par,
And Patience may be seen each day meath
papa's Panama,
A-picking, picking pecks of peas, perform
ing peacefully
Her pleasant pastime, picking peas, peer
less picture she.
She pokes her pinky finger tips amongst
the pale-green vines,
And picks the peas and puts them in her
pretty pan that shines;
A perfect picture Patience is, pursuing
peacefully
Her proud position picking peas; her
parents pride is she.
To me those other poems pale compared
to lines like these:
When pretty Patience putteth out to pick
Joe Cone, in Puck.

MOST TERRIBLE
CATASTROPHE
COLLAPSE OF BRIDGE SPAN
MING ST. LAWRENCE.
FIVE NILES BELOW QUEBEC
Nearly q Hundred Persons Precipi-
tated Into the River-Loss Of Life
May Reach Eighty. Three Quarters
Nile Of Bridge Goes Down.

Quebec.-A section of the ne.
bridge across the. st. Lawrence river
Ave miles below this city, collapsed
carrying scores of bridge workers and
mechanics into the water. It 10 esti-
mated that the loss of life is at least
sixty and may exceed that number
by twenty.
The bridge was about mile and
a half in length, and half Of it, from
the south shore to midstream, crum-
bled up and dropped into the water.
Ninety men were at work ON this
section of the structure.
The whistle had just blown at $50
O clock for the men to quit work for
the day when there came a grinding
sound from the bridge at midstream.
The men turned to see what had hap
pened, and an instant later the cry
went up. The bridge is falling" The
men made a rush shoreward, but the
distance was too great for them 10
escape. The fallen section Of the
bridge dragged other after it. the
swapping Orders and cables booming
Like a crash of artillery.
Terror lent feetness to the feet Of
the frightened workmen as they sped
shoreward, but only a few Of them
reached safety before the last piece
Of ironwork on the south shore was
dragged into the river. Near the
shore the wreckage Of the bridge did
not go below the surface Of the water
and eight workmen rescued and taken
to the hospital at Lewis.
The steamer Glenmont had just
cleared the bridge when the first Sec
ton fell. The water thrown up by
the debris came clear over the bridge
of the steamer. The captain at once
lowered boats. The small boats piled
backward and forward over the SUNK
en- wreckage for half an hour, but
there was no sign of life. The twist
ed iron and steel had its victims in
a terrible death grip. A few of the
floating timbers and the broken
strand Of the bridge toward the north
shore were the only signs that any
thing unusual had happened. There
was not a ripple on the smooth sur
face of the st. Lawrence as it swept
toward the gulf.
All the men drowned were en-
ployes Of the Phoenixville Bridge
Company and subcontractors Of Que
bee and Montreal.

Clerk $4,000 Short.

New York.-Charged with the lar
ceny of $4,000 of his employers
funds Edward Philips, clerk for
the stock brokerage firm of G. B.

fessed that he embezzled $4,000, but
members of the firm are investigating
their books, fearing that their loss
may exceed that amount.
Phillips, the police say, told mem
Der of the firm that he began by los
ing money on the horse races, and

shops.
