She: "Heavens, wasn't that you?" A negro charged with stealing a watch had been arraigned be- fore the court. The judge divas not convinced that he was guilty and said: "You are acquitted, Sam." "Acquit ted?" repeated Sam doubtfully. "What do you mea», Jedge?" "That's the sentence; you are acquit ted." Still looking somewhat confus- ed, Sam said: "Jedge, does dat mean I have to give de watch back?" "Sambo, did yo'll notice dat poke chops was gettin'igher an'igher ail de time?" "Shuah Ah did. Dat's because so many folks make hogs o'emselves." A Belgian student was relating liis e~~erience in studying the English language. "EVhen I dis- covered that if I was quick I was fast," he said, "and that if I was tied I divas fast, if I spent too freely I was fast, and that not to eat was to fast, I was dis- couraged. But when I came a- cross the sentence, "The first or.e won one one-dollar prize," I gave up trying to learn English. Two witnesses were called in a case which concerned long-continued poultry stealing. Nothing could be got from them in the way of evidence until the pros- ecuting counsel asked: "Will you swear, Mike Lonergan, that Thady O'Farrell has never, to your knowl- eage, stolen chickens?" "Bedad, I don't know about that, your honor," said Mike, "but I do know that if I was a chicken and Thady was about, I'd roost high." "I have always maintained." declared Charles. "that no two people on earth think alike." "You'l change your mind," said his fiancee, "when you look over our wedding presents." News Item.--Tramp arrested for making home brew.

"Installing an electric switch," one of the workmen said. The boy then volunteered: "I don't care. EUe've moved away, and I don't go to this school any more." A few minutes after an alarm of fire was given in a hotel one of the guests joined the grouli that was watching the fire, and chaffed them on their apparent excitement. "There was nothing to be excited about," he said. "I took my time about dressing, lighted a cigarette, didn't like the knot in my nectie, so tied it over again--that's how cool I was. "Fine," one of his friends re- marked, "but why didn't you put on your pants?" Words of Wisdom.--Many a man works hard to keep up the "easy pay- ments."

The other nodded a silent agreement and proceeded to en- joy a pipe and study his pro- gi am. "Enjoy the play?" asked the woman. "No," replied the man. "Did-n't see the end." "EVhy not?"

This after weeks of very trying circumstances to get the necessary depth to carry the gigantic 250 feet steel span superstructure. Some complaints have been heard that the bridge has not already been finished., but any delay is caused by such condi- tions as these, and which have had to be met and overcome. Time may be held to be the essence of a contract, but the fundamental necessity of any contract is really good work. The bridge is evidently being con- structed on the best engineering principles, and these principles have to be followed if a structure is to be built which will over- come the flow of the river in flood and will remain as well a permanent monument to the pro- gressiveness and development ofWest Vancouver. A. L. Carruthers, provincial bridge engineer, is responsiblefor the design of the bridge and Capt. J. S. Milne, who for manyyears previous to the war was construction engineer with the Saskatchewan government, ist)ie engineer in charge of the construction. Last Sundays was a particular ly fine day for a walk, and alarge number of West Vancou- ver people took advantage of the day and the opportunity to visit the bridge now under construc- tion, over the Capilano River. illany were evidently paying tl eir first visit since the old structure was demolished. Oiie hears much talk of the bridge round about town and not a few complaints that it is ap- parently not yet near completion, but few realise the magnitude of such an undertaking as this. The construction of the Cap- ilano River bridge viewed in com- parison with other engineering feats does not to the layman, ap- pear such a very di fficult feat, but among engineers it is recog- nised as a specially difficult work to do it right and so thatit ivill remain standing. Condi- tions are encountered which de- mand expert knowledge and ex- perience in design and construc- tion especially svhen the flow of the river has to be directed and prevented from leaving destruc- tion in its wake after a flood. It may be safely accepted that tlie Capilano River has not an equal on the Pacific Coast for sudden rise and strength of flow reaching out to push and drag everything with it. These are factors which have to be considered in building the new bridge. The river had to be controlled and made to flow through a newly constructed channel 7 feet deeper than the old river bottom. This channel is being constructed 300 feet a- bove and in a direct line mid- stream for 600 or more feet be- low. The 7 foot channel will low- er the flood waters and is a pre- cautionary measure against any undue pressure against the piers. All the material excavated is used to make the approaches from each side. About 25,000 cubic yards of boulders large and small are embedded. These fills run out to meet the steel span at each side, and are 40 feet wide oii top and 88 feet on the bot- tom. There will be two massive con- crete piers, one at each side of the river each 39 feet wide, 15 feet deep, and to be sunk 22 feet below the bed of the river. The East pier is now down 22 feet and piling 16 feet lower still so that the bottom of the piling is ,&30 up. Made on the premises by First Class Tailors.

The address began with a care-ful and vivid sketch of Carlyle's life, with special reference to hismental conflicts; and this wasfollowed by a close analysis ofthe famous book, in which themastery that could only havecnme from long familiarity withthe book was everywhere evid-ent. The vote of thanks wasspoken to by Mrs. Ritchie, Mrs.Lawson and Messrs. Duncan,Patterson and Porter. An inter-esting interlude was a discussionbetween Mrs. Ritchie as champ-ion of Mrs. Carlyle, and Mr. Dun-can as advocate for Carlyle.

Mr. Campbell,with great kindness, has lentmore than a hundred beautifulslides to Mr. J.
