Coast Line Bridge Gone.
A spacial from Brazoria to the New- '
says: “Toe temporary bridge of the
Gulf Coast "Line, across the Brazos
here here, is a thing of the past, the
last bent going Sunday afternoon. A
serious problem now presents itself
in the form of accumulated drift.
This vast amount of logs and trash,
800 yanb wide. .'i00 yards long and
estimated to average 30 feet deep, did
not move, a particle when the bridge
gave way. It is creating a dam that
is causing the current to deepen the
channel at the bridge site, where four
concrete piers are completed, for the
permanert steel structure. It is
feared that these expensive piers
may be msved by being undermined.
Only one more pier is to be built to
complete the foundation. These
piers cost approximately $90,000. The
river foil seven inches last night.

Mrs. Russell Sage is < ne of the
most active workers in the movement
to abolish the docklnr of the tai’s of
horses.
I# a discussion of this movement
she said recently
“If the horses already docked were
out of the way we should have no
trouble In putting a stop to docking
forever But maav person?, advocates
of our movement in the past, no soon-
er buy a pair ol showy carriage
horses with Cocked tails than they
desert us and go over to the enemy.”
She smiled t adly.
“It Is the cld story.” she said.
“White owned a dog. Black, who lived
next door, cane to him and said:
“ ‘Look here. That dog of yours
howls so much at night that mv wife
and I are going mad for want of sleep.'
“ 'Is that so” said White. ‘I hadn't
noticed his howling. I think you must
be mistaken
“A week pissed and Black came
home ^ne day with the objectionable
dog on a string.
“‘I have bought th s cur,’ h»* told
bls wife. *1 hav« bought it from
White and I am going to chloroform
it.’
“Anotner we-sk and White, the dog s
former owner, sail to Black:
” *Yon have i*t chloroformed

** ‘Why, no not yet, ‘Black ans—ered.
‘The fact is we have grown rather
fond of the critter, he Is so playful
and affectionate.'
** ‘But doean t his
yon?’ White i-sked.
“‘No, I haven’t noticed
Black.
“‘Well,’ White grumbled. ‘I can’t
sleep for that brute's continual yowl-
ing.’
Mrs. Sage snlh-d again.
“In the case o' oureelve* it is one
thing: in the case of . ’hers It Is a dif-
ferent matter.” she said
