cities in Illinois to view and admire 1t.
Should this work weather well and
preserve its fine contour and lines, Mr..
Taft thinks it is probable it will mark
an era in the erection of statuary In
REINFORCED concrete.
On leaving the grove which bordered
the roadway climbing the bluffs, the
statue appeared in its majesty on the
bank of the river. There was no I'M

sight Of the monument to be one of its
entire majesty.

crease of pension for the widow of a soldier
There were papers forwarded to him which bore
on the case, and these he turned over to the
committee on pensions after his bill had been
introduced.
The widow did not get her money, and it was
not long before the whole house knew why. The
member who had espoused the widows cause
had been in congress for years, and the joke at
mis- expense too good to keep, and one after
another OF his colleagues walked up to his desk
and congratulated him on the wisdom shown in
the plea which was in written form, he had
turned in to the committee to win the widows
case.
1t is perhaps needless to cay that the mem
Der had never read the plea. 1t set forth the
fact that while the amount of pension increase
the widow of the soldier hero asked for was
large. 1t must be understood that she came Of
good family moved in the best social circles, and
was in need of a large sum of money to keep up
appearances"
Upon occasion senators and representatives per-
NIT their constituents to do their talking for
them in congress. Petitions come in floods at

external pressure. In the Smoot case, and in

of the people came in by the tens OF thousands.

ECZEMA ON HANDS AND FEET

In the latter part of 1889 my face
and head broke out in little pimples.
My doctor gave me some medicine and
a salve I used them for months but
did not receive any results. In the
meantime it broke out all over my
back and chest I then went to an
other doctor and he told me the same
as my own doctor-that 1t was eczema.
He also gave me medicine for eighteen
months. All could see was that he
moved 1t from my face and body to
my hands and feet, and although did
everything, could not heal my hands
and feet. MY hands would split open
on the joints and would be SO sore that

QUEBEC BRIDGE is BIGGEST
Time Of Construction Shows Advance
in Engineering Since Brooklyn
Bridge Was Built.

Quebec, Ont.-The new bridge
across the st. Lawrence river near
here supplants the mighty structure
that fell when half finished in the
summer of 1907. The site of the new
bridge is the same but the north pier
is moved out so feet further into the
river. thus appreciably shortening the
central span The new bridge contains
100000 pounds of steel, as com
pared with the 100,000.000 of its pred
ecessor. 1t will cost when completed
not less than $12.00O.O00. and will
have the longest truss span of any
bridge in the world, 800 feet, or 90
feet more than that of the great Firth
of Forth bridge in Scotland.
The construction of this bridge,
which has taken two and half years.
is an impressive indication OF the
progress of mechanical and civil en-
cheering since the Brooklyn bridge
was opened to traffic, May "a, 1883.
The latter required 1917 years to
erect, and to date has cost over 1922
100000. of $10.00O,000 more than the
prospective cost of the new Canadian
giant.
The length of the river span of the
Brooklyn bridge is 1000 feet-200
feet less than that of the bridge at
Quebec. OF the other bridges across
the East river the Manhattan has
river span of 1.470 feet: the Williams
burg bridge has span OF 200 feet
shorter than that over the st. Law
renee; the longest span OF the Queens
horo aEidge is 1900 feet.

For years several representatives in congress
tried to secure appropriation to be used for
the building of a monument to General Miller at
Peterboro, N. H, near which town 'Ill Try Sir"
lived on a farm before the of 1912, and for
years after its close The representatives who
had the matter of pushing the bill In hand used
the words of Captain Miller at Lundys Lane to
express their determination to secure vic
tory They certainly did try. and the speeches
that were made before the library committee of
congress held patriotic appeals in every sentence
Apparently however, it was easier for Miller to
capture battery against odds than 1t was for
members Of congress to capture the dollars neces-
sary to build a monument Of enduring stones
to his memory.
It was case of try and try again. While the
cause of Miller, whose herosm worth
dozen monuments. was being pleaded, congress
voted money for memorials to other men less de-
serving. Finally, however, a New Hampshire
member who had been digging into history found
out something about "Ill Try Sirs" career which
was not generally known. Congress had been
told time and again that Captain Miller not only
had shown conspicuous gallantry at Lundy Lane.
but that prior to that fight he had thrashed
superior force Of British and Indians at Managna.
Congress had also been told that Miller had com
manded the center column of General Browns
army, which routed what was apparently an
overwhelmingly greater force of the British at
Fore Erie.
These things didn't make an impression Con-
was soldier that 1t his business to defeat
superior forces of the enemy every day in the
week without imposing any monument-raising
duty on posterity The New Hampshire member
however, found out that after the war of 1912
Miller went back to his farm near Petersboro,
plowed fields, chopped wood and MIXED the cows
instead of going to Washington to ask the gov
eminent to do something for him on account of
his record.
