Is not pushing the matter of railroad
building, but her possessions are SC
small that their lack of railroad facil-

Of the continent to any appreciable ex'

1t is greed for territory that has in

Choice possessions have been lost to
almost all of them at different times
because of no tangible evidence that
theirs was the first right to such ter
ritory. Nation is crowdpg nation in
the race for empire, and to hold the
territory once acquired each nation is
building railroads as n tangible proof
Of their occupation.
The accompanying map gives one a
good idea of the railway projects of
Africa. Many Of the lines shown here
are but now nothing more than posi-
bilties for which the people of the

no other object than to serve as proof
Of occupancy by the nation claiming

THE greed Of Europeis building rail
roads in Africa. The competition
= for African territory has become SC
keen between the European nations
that each is striving 10 do its utmost
to exploit and protect its title 10 the
territory it has claimed. To do this
the nations are building railroads
through their African possessions.
For the past few years the world
has watched with interest the growth
of the Cape to Cairo" railway project
of England, which has been develop
ing under the masterful hand Of Cecil
Rhodes, from the south impelled by
the craze for territorial aggrandize-
ment, and from the north under the
tary necessity in connection with the
conquest of the Soudan.
But while the world has applauded
the efforts of Rhodes and Kitchener,
and the completion of each new Sec
ton Of the English project is herald
ed throughout the entire civilized
world, there are other railroad prof.
ects of almost equal Importance to
the continent Of Africa that are be-
ing pushed slowly forward and of
which the world hears practically
nothing.
One competitor for the worlds IA

HER ONE REQUEST.
The Only Remaining Thing That
Was Necessary to Complete
Her Happiness.

"Listen, my darling"
The youthful millionaire drew to his
heart the beautiful girl who had promised to
share his wealth and happiness, and in sim.
pie language began to recount what the
future had in store for them.
1T has been my great wish," he said,
''that you should have home, not only
commensurate with your position and my
OVID, but one which will be fit setting for
your altogether sweet and delightful per-
eonality. And so for months now I have
been engaged in search after the best
that money can buy, and the house I have
had built especially for you is now complete
throughout. Nothing has been omitted.
Decorators and artists have bestowed their
services, and all my resources have been
taxed to provide our home with suitable
interior and with the most costly furniture.
What do you say to this, my dear?"
1T is lovely" replied his betrothed, as she
heaved slight sigh. ''There is only one
thing. more, dearest, that will make me
completely and utterly happy"
1T shall be granted" exclaimed her en-
thusiastic lover: '0nly tell me what it is"
The girl at his side stirred rapturously.
"'How. good of you!' she said. RI was

into our new home would like the privi-
lege Of furnishing it all over again to suit

put up buggy robe Of fairly good quail

seemed to think there was bargain in
it, and yet he hesitated to bid.
Think it cheap" asked the auc-

Eyes, kinder was the reply.
'Then why don't you bid and get it p
wall, I've bought heaps of things in
dry goods and so on" slowly rejoined
the old man, "and never yet took
home anything the old woman thought
was worth the price. II got that 'ere
