Advantage of Being in Love When
Falling Off Wall.

Up where we live. on the river, there
is stone wall which holds up an EN-
bankment. Our side of the wall is
about three feet high, but the other
side is about 40 feet high, if you get
what we mean. Well, this wall for
some years has been a great trysting
place, and of an evening many young
couples perch on it and talk about the
future and all that and pick out the
curtains for the parlor and decide upon
the records and other important fea-
lures of housekeeping.
The other evening one young man be-
came so enthusiastic that the last thing
we saw of him was pair of patent
leather shoes and gray spats disap-
pearing over the wall. He thought he
was reclining in the easy chair in his
new ho.1e and leaned back. Well, the
young lady Wiped and several Others
seated on the wall did likewise, and we
ran out of the house and joined the
crowd that ran down the stairs to the
drive to pick up the remains and carry
them home, but when we got there we
found the young man brushing himself
off and humming Bright Eyes" You
see, he landed on his head, and, being
in love, it didn't hurt him bit.--Roy
X Moulton, in New York Mail

A Vermont Putterer.

There used to be in every place
Some pretty nice old Teller,
With good-sized feet and small-sized
face,
And manners mild and meller;
He'd make a fancy parsnip bed,
Or wooden stamp for butter
He liked to do jest little jobs,
He lived to kinder putter.
He had no bold and deep designs,
No Caesar FOrgis flavor;
He worked along his little lines
Belize a steel engTsver;
You never heard him rip or tear,
Or humble, grOwl or mutter,
For business never got so slack
he couldn't poke and putter.
He didn't have no wish TO cling
= To goods that wasn't hizen,
He never did the smallest thing
'Twould send hy 90 prison;
But he could trim a goO'.eberry bush,
Or fix a leaky gutter
he liked the fussiest work the best,
Jest anyway TO putter.
Most everything he ever did,
He took day TO do Il.
Like fitting on q firkin lid
And lacking tack nails through il
He'd have = dozen tools around
And make q first class clutter
But then. for that was he ordained,
His soul was born TO putter

BIC INTERNATIONAL
BRIDGE TO BE BUILT
Connecting Detroit; Mich, and Wind
scr, 0nt.-Will Be Done in
Five Years.

Detroit, Mich, May 2S.--The pro-
posed suspension bridge between De-
troit and Windsor, the sixth interna-
tional bridge linking the United States
with Canada and the third that will
carry highway traffic between the two
countries, will have been completed
within the next five years, in the opin-
ion of Charles Evans Fowler, chief en-
gineer of the project. Mr.. Fowler an,
nounced construction work might start
late next fall or during the winter.
About four years is expected to be re-
quired to complete the project.
The bridge, Mr.. Fowler said, will
rank as one of the most important
of those between the two countries, be-
cause it win connect Ontario, the most
thickly settled province of Canada,
with the so-called middle western part
of the United States. 1t viii serve a
greater number of persons than any
other international bridge on the con-
tinent, Mr.. Fowler said
Present plans call for a bridge of
the suspension type that will cost $780,
600, 900. Permission to build the span
has been granted by both the United
States and Canada. The bill granting
such permission was signed by Presi-
dent Wilson just before he left office
March A. Both branches of the Do
minion government have sanctioned the
project, virtually completing the pre-
liminary steps necessary before con-
struction begins.
The main span of the bridge viii be
l,770 feet. There will be two 28-foot
roadways, two seven foot sidewalks,
two tram car tracks and four tracks
on the lower decks for railways. The
railway tracks will connect on the Ca
madam side with the Essex Terminal
railway and on the American side with
the joint tracks of the Pennsylvania,
Pere Marquette, Wabash and Michi
gan Central railroads.
Three Of the bridges already in ex-
istence between the United States and
Canada are located at Niagara Falls,
one is at Buffalo and another is across
the St. Mays river near Sault Ste
Marie, Mich.
