THE PIKER
BY serton BraIey.
They called him a ''piker'- perhaps
they were right,
He didn't spend much with the
gang.
On drinks and cigars he was certain
ly tight
And to tip gave him really pang.
He never threw money around like
a prince
Or played "the good fellow" at all;
At the club he was known as lime"
and ounce"
And the sums that he squandered
were small.
But his family had what his purse
could afford
And he shaved for his girls and his
boys.
He'd lend to a comrade in need all his
hoard
Without any boasting or noise.
He would help any chap in the Down
and Out Club,
Though the fact wasn't blazoned to
fame,
But walters declared him Cheap
skate" and dub"
And spendthrifts considered him
tame"
Well, here is the moral, too potent to
miss,
And one it is wise to recall,
ga sport is a sport, but a piker like
this
Is the bulliest sport of them ALP

Augusta Bridge
Hearing, 10 A. N.

Prospects of clash between the
Maine Central Railroad and the city
of Augusta, over the question of the
clearance space beneath the over
head bridge across the north end of
water street in Augusta, seem i'm
minent at present. A hearing will be
neld at the State House, at 10 this
fFriday) morning. on a petition of the
Maine Central Railroad Co, deeming
it expedient for the safety of the pub
lie to change the alignment of the
tracks. in the north end of the Angus
ia yard. The railroad also petitions for
permission to construct double track
bridge across the kennebec river.
The pinch comes in that the citizens
of the city of Augusta wish to have
the bridge raised at least two feet The
amount of clearance space now under
the bridge IS entirely insufficient for
the passage of high cars or heavy
carts piled high with merchandise.
The railroad contended at a meet
ing before the city government, April
rs. that to raise the bridge at least two
feet, in the opinion of MIR. Wheeler
chief engineer of the railroad, would
SO increase the grade at this point as
TO make II serious dlfflculty Tor
heavy trains to pull out of the station
Engineer Hill for the city contended
that a bridge could be constructed i'll
such a manner as to allow sufficient
clearance space beneath the said
bridge. The plan of Engineer Hill is to
construct a four-truss bridge, or two
bridges, shortening the distance three
feet from the truss to the base of the
rail, thus obtaining the results wished
for.
There is no doubt in the minds of
Augusta citizens that a double track
bridge win be a benefit But as it
comes to lowering the grade of the
street at this point, the city is strong
ly opposed, as the alignment of the
buildings would be way above the lev
ell of the street in this case.
Serious opposition to the construe-
ton of a double track bridge across
the river is not entertained but the
matter of the clearance space beneath
the bridge crossing the street is the
matter over which the discussion Will
take place. 'tj9f ldE stf 81
That the city is prepared to present
Il strong case at the hearing before
the railroad commissioners from an
engineering standpoint, is proven.
