H Tho first question that 1b genorally asked by persons arriving at Wash ington's Chain bridge for tho first time Is, "Whero are tho. chains?" .There aro no-chains, and thero have been none for the last half century or more. Hut thero wero chains at ono time that particularly designated the bridge that crosses tho Potomac river at tho Little Falls, several roiled abovo peorge town. Tho chains too; woro tho all-lmportant,partof tho bridge; says the Washington Post,-for it waa borno entirely by chains. Tho first brldgo over the Potomac at Llttlo Falls, tho head of navigation of tho river, waa built In 1809. It waa built by a Mr. Palmer, and lasted only ' a short time, when It fell to pieces during a violent spring freshet. A sec ond brldgo took Ita place, but that only -lasted oven a shorter time, about bIx months. What Was known us tho Chain, bridge was erected in 1810. It was a suspension bridge, supported entirely by chains thrown over tho piers erected upon tho abutments, which were about twenty feet high. These chains woro four in number. The pendents were hung on them alternately about flvp feot apart, so that each chain received a pendent In. every ten foot. Tho brldgo was Invented by Judge Flndley, who lived near Uniontown, Ptt and whero he had erected a similar chain bridge, which performed very good service for many years. Tho span of tho bridge was 128 feet nnd tho width sixteen feet. Ita weight was about twenty-two tons, which was regarded aa a heavy weight In the bridge lino In those days. On March 3, 1853, Congress passed an act appropriating a sufficient sum of monoy to repair tho bridge, and Incidentally took tho corporation of Georgetown out of tho transaction, the United States stepping in aa Its owner, a transaction which waa perfectly satisfactory to all concerned. This repaired bridge was still practically a chain bridge, though in the repairs iron in other forms was considerably used. The bridge covered only tho river channel proper, thero bolng a dirt roadway that approached the bridge from either side. It waa the washing away of these approaches more than Injury to tho brldgo Itself that put the Chain bridge out of commission bo frequently, for it became almost an annual occurrence, particularly during tho spring freshets, though in two or three years the washouts also occurred during tho fall storms. The Chain brldgo, besides being famous for Its chains and equally fa mous because It has no chains, played a very Important part during the Civil War. At ono time ono end of It was In possession of the Confederates, whllo tho other end waa guarded by Union troops. In tho military campaigns In which the famous army of the Potomac took Buch a prominent part the larger part of the transportation took place ovor tho Long brldgo nnd the Aqueduct bridge, several miles down the Po tomac. Still; tho Chain bridge was a place of great activity and interest throughout tho entire war. It waa surrounded by fortifications for Its pro tection in case nn effort was made by tho enemy to use It as an approach to Washington, and was at all times a very busy locality. The winters when tho army was camped In near-by regions of Virginia brought a good deal of traffic to tho Chain bridge. In 1872 Congress put an end to the Chain bridge, except In name, by appropriating $100,000 for the present Iron bridge. Though there was noth ing in tho act Itself suggesting it, the old name Btlll hangs to the bridge, though It has no semblance to chains about It. "SHOOT UP" A TOWN. At Englovale, N. D two cowboys fa tally shot Louis Maxwell, a farmer, took possession of the town for twelve hours, and finally doparted with armed citizens in pursuit The cowboys, known bb the Gant brothers, escaped. In a pool room fight Maxwell waB shot by one of the brothers. Tho Gants, who recently came from Texas to work on a ranch, then took possession of the town. Firing volley after volley with largo revolvers, tho two paraded the streets and forcod every ono to do their .bidding until long after midnight' They then galloped off, much to the relief of tho Inhabitants. CHURCH'S REAL HARVEST. To Clear a Debt the Flrat ChrUtlan of Ilcnver, Olcla., Uniacit Corn. Tho congregation of tho First Chris tian Church of Beaver, Okla, a Kans as City Times correspondent says, planted and reaped forty acreB of broomcorn last season to raise fund for reducing tho Indebtedness on its now church building. Tho Rev. R. R. Coffey, the pastor, led his congregation In tho work, men and women and boys and girls joining with him In tho en terprise. Tho land used belonged to James Crabtroo, a farmer, living four miles wost of Doavcr. As tho season prog ressed the "church old" thrived won derfully. Whonover there was work to do willing hands wero found to do it. Tho time of ripening camo and tho corn grow yellow and goldon In tho sunshine. There was much talk about tho prospect of high prices for broom corn, and as tho season advanced buy ors began coating from eastern mar kota to tho broomcorn elds of Beavor County. Finally tho day of harvesting ar rlvod and the congregation of tho Beavor Christian Church was aBtlr early in the morning. Fathers and mothers, boys and girls and young men and young women, with the Rev. Mr. Coffey at their head, went to the CHAIN BRIDGE GETS ITS NAME. "church farm" and all day there was laughter and pulling of broomcorn "straw." At noon everybody was called to a basket dinner furnished by tho housewives who had plied up small mountains of brown fried chicken. with gravy, vegetables, country-cured ham, llghtbread, Jelly cake, caramel cake, pie and all such things for the hungry workers. When night camo tho harvesters had "pulled" twenty-five acres of broom corn, and next day the work was fin ished. Tho straw Was hauled to town and baled and was then ready for the market. Buyers were asked to bid for tho "church farm" crop, and when the price went up to $160 a ton, the corn was sold five and one-half tons of It which turned ?880 In the church treasury and camo near lifting the church debt. Whnt 11 Dollnr Doir Can Do. A man in a nearby city bought for his wife and child a year ago a dog, for which he pair a dollar. It wa3 obviously nothing wonderful In the canine way merely a mongrel, with the bulldog strain predominant. The owner was a man in humble circum stances, and the dog In his modest dwelling was the principal asset aside from a few stlckB of furniture. The other night Tom was tied to a leg of the kitchen sink, as usual, and tho family went to bed. They were awak ened by tho dog at midnight scratch ing at his master's door. When his mastor camo cut to sco what was the matter tho dog, with a remnant of chewed rope hanging from his collar, whined and ran to the head of tho stairway. The house waB on fire, and shortly after woman and child and man and dog made their escapo their poor dwelling was a mass of glowing embers. Tho owner of the dog has been urged to part with him for a largo cash consideration; but, though he is penniless, ho will not part with tho four footed savior of his family. Neither has the dog at any time had thoughts of leaving them for luxurious kennola. Now York Times. Hot QuullOed. Two men wero getting warm ovor a simple dlfferenco of oplnlou.
