In responding to | toast at the banquet which followed the private exhibition he dwelt upon the wealth of imagination in evidence on the walls about him and again ex- pressed his conviction that imagina- ton Is the moving force in the world.

First Cantaiover Hridao.

The first cantalever railroad bridge b the one across the Firth of Forth at Queens Ferry. Scotland. It is nearly one and . half miles in length. Fifty. one thousand tons of steel were used in it's construction, employing as many as 5000 men at one time. It cost $16,- 100000 and ffty-six lives. The work. men began at either end and worked toward the center. When they met and undertook the last connection 1t was found that the two ends lacked . smau fracion of an inch of reaching far enough to allow the insertion of the bolts that were to complete the span. For . time this was a puzzle, but was finally solved by an ingenious workman wAo suggested expansion by artificial heat, and 1t was forthwith supplied by means of burning kerosene oil under the steel girder.

WouIdn't Be Fooled Aaain.

A shepherd once, to prove the quick ness of his dog, which was lying be- fore the fire in the house where wa were talking, said to me in the middle of sentence concerning something else. "Tm thinking, sir, the COW is in the potatoes"
 Though he purposely laid no stress on these words and said them in a quiet. uncoacerned tone of voice, the dog, which appeared to be asleep, imme diately jumped up and, leaping through the open window, scrambled up to the turf roof of the house, from which he could see the potato field. He then, not seeing the COW there, ran and look ed into the barn where she was and, finding that all was right. came back to the house.
 After short time the shepherd said the same words again, and the dog re- peated his lookout, but on the false alarm being the third time given the dog got up and, wagging bis tail, look ed his master in the face with so com- ical an expression of Interrogation that he could not help laughing aloud a. him, on which. with slight growl, he laid himself down in his warm corner with an offended air, as if determined not to be made fool of agatn.-Lon. don Standard.

 This sentence seems to have been as much an essential part of the Roose- welt letters as the customary saluta- tion at the commencement, and the with best regards at the finish It is a stereotyped expression that ap- pears to have been thrown into near ly every letter he has written.
