The war in South Africa is leading

better tactlcians and strategists?
Surely the inside history OF this cam
paign will be interesting reading. With
an English army nearly three times the
entire Boer population. it seems that
the small Boer army might be sur

THE NoRFoLK-BERKLEY BRIDGE

The action Of the joint session of the
Councils last Tuesday night in cndors-
ing the Norfolk Berkeley bridge, was a
most commendable step, and in keeping
with the progress of the city.
The day has come when the most
sanguine friends of Norfolk Ports
mouth and Berkeley are surprised. The
rapid strides OF this Port, within the
last six years, have been marvellous.
This rapid development has brought
millions of dollars here and has Great

dustrial activity. Where few hundred
people travelled the streets and sought
transportation, the demand is now
made by thousands.
In few words, there is a demand
by the public. The bridge is no longer

sity For many years the public has
endeavored to get this bridge. For six
years Il demand has been made upon
the Legislature at Richmond, and as
often has the request been refused 1t
is believed that 1t will not be refused
this time.
Why should the Legislature refuse
the request? Is it because the Nor
folk & Western Railway Co., opposed
the bill? Is it because the Norfolk &
Portsmouth Ferries oppose 1t? 1t must
be one of these two objections.

killed, the other generally devours

that looked as big as a s%tovepipe, and
bawled out: "I'm the hottest man

galoot on the train!' There were some
ladies at the far end Of the car, and
a good-looking man, who was with
them, half arose as II to put a stop
to the disturbance. He reconsidered
the enterprise, however, and sent for
the conductor instead. Meanwhile the
wandering eyes of the stranger lit on
the headrests of the chairs, which were
round, padded disks about a foot
across. Naturally they were suggestive
of targets, and he proceeded to draw a
bead on several. The occupants
promptly sought seclusion under the
seats, greatly to the edification Of the

got a stove here, and you make it I'M
pleasant. So you get right out on that
platform, blast your eyes,, and stay
there until you lose some of your heat.
The hot man meekly allowed himself
to be propelled through the door, and
staid on the platform all the rest Of
the trip. The men inside looked a.
each other rather sheepishly, and
asked the conductor confdentially how
he dared to take such chances. oh
