A New Line Planned through congo
Free State.
Washington, July 17.-Before many
years, the world may be astonished that
the long fostered dream Of the late Cecil
Rhodes for the opening up Of the dark
continent has become reality, and con-
secutive line of steel rails may stretch
from Cairo to Cape Town.
The state department made public to-
day an important report of railway devel-
opment from Consul G. Bic Ravn-
dial of Sioux Falls, S. D., at Beirut,
The consul says that by an agreement
signed at Brussels the previous month by
Robert Williams with the king of the Bel
gians, the German route was abandoned,
and the railway from Cairo to the cape is
to be carried through the Congo Free
State to the upper waters of the Nile.
From Stanley Falls on the Upper Congo O
railway is to be built to Mahagi on Lake
Albert Nyanza, and this connection will
supply the missing link between the cape
and the Egyptian railways. r~.-.
Consul Randval adds that it is quite
likely that If the proposed railway is
built from the coast of Des- ell Sal-aam,
the capital of German. East Africa, the
original Cape to Cairo system by way OF
Tobara will also be realized. Both
lines says the consul, may astonish the
world before many years" "

bored, cynical, over-civilized, unpic-
turesque.
Compare with them the man who
comes flying over the range on his
Mexican mustang. He is alert, nerv-
Gus, cool, intrepid, reckless, devil-may-
care, picturesque. His "chaps" glis-
ten and jingle with silver; a lurid
handkerchief, loosely tied, reveals the
brown, shapely throat; the brim of the
great sombrero flaps back from the
tanned forehead and the bold, express
sive eyes. He sits his animal like a
Centaur. In every movement of the
1.-THE body, every pose of the statu-
esque head, there is expressed the Joy
of life. the intoxication of existence.
The Westerner is alive to his finger
tips; the Fastener is blaSe and tired
of it all. Possibly that explains why
many of these same Westerners threw
off the frock coat of civilization and
donned the corduroy jacket of print
tive conditions. For many of these
same Westerners come from the East,
sick and weary of the exotic environ
ment they leave behind.
He Doesn't Know the Latest Opera,
But
The very handsomest, the most
graceful and picturesque fellow l ever
saw was a stage driver in Hesperus.
Col. He came into camp driving his
four-inhand from La Plata. His fig
ure was that of an ancient Greek, his
face like an antique cameo. His cheeks
were like peaches. and his eyes like
stars. He carried himself like a thor
oughbred and his bizarre and fantastic
accoutrementS formed an admirable
setting for his superb beauty. In a
frock coat. silk hat, and gardenia he
would have looked like a dozen 9TH
ers, but in his costume borrowed from
Mexican vaquero, he was distinctive
and illuminative.
But let no one fancy that the West
ern man is only a fine animal. He is
very often a graduate of some famous
university; he is widely read and can
discourse learnedly on many subjects.
He may not be up on grand opera or
the latest cOtillion figure, but he can
talk of the pros and cons of existence
with the best. He is a philosopher,
too, and his philosophy is kindly-un-
/ 1mbittered with cynicism and untinc-
tured with malice.
Here's to the Western man--royal
good fellow!
Not the great bonanza King, the
famous politician, the Wall street
plunger, but the everyday chap, the
worker, the toiler. the deliver. the
miner, the cow puncher, the ranchman,
the stage driver. I have been among
them and have known their hospital
ity and generosity: their truth and
worth; their courage and modesty
May the winds of the mountains that
rise so near heaven continue to bring
on their wings to them all those good
and beautiful human instincts for
which they are so justly famous.
The Savannah morning news., 1902-12-07

Western man does not use profanity
or foul language before women. In
many Eastern cities, the woman pas
serby hears frightful words from men
in trains, on boats, on street corners
Such an outrage is unknown in the
toughest Western communities.
The Westerner does not leer into the
faces of women on the street. He is
not waiting on a corner for woman
to come up, only to follow and pass
her and grin odiously over his shoulder
at her. AS a matter of fact, while the
Westerner Is adorably audacious in
many respects, he is somewhat timid
where women are concerned, and
thrusts no unwelcome attentions on
any. But on the other hand, should
a woman require assistance of any
sort, no one is more chivalrous in prof
fering it. With a curious comming-
ling of brusqueness and timidity, the
Western man flies to the aid of a. wo-
man in distress.
The writer was once travelling on a
local Eastern train. A poor woman
passenger was $1.00 short of her fare
She would have been put off the train
at night had it not been for another
woman. Not man in the car offered
to help her. Had this Sincident occurred
on Western train, every Fan in the
car would have flashed a roll of bills
and told her to help herself.
Eastern and Western Men Compared
Physically.
The Eastern man is often a magnifi-
cent creature, physically. He has
wit, address, polish, acumen, inteni-
gence. cynicism, many agreeable and
fascinating qualities. But he lacks i'm
agination and emotion. The man who
lives close to nature, who for days and
months, perhaps, may hear no voice
save her; who tolls in deep, dark can
ons and sleeps under the stars; who
delves at timber line and dreams above
the snow, has both. To him Mother
Earth whispers her dearest secrets; to
him the mountains speak.
The Broadway fiaueur, the Mexican
ranchero; the Fifth avenue swell, the
Arizona miner-what greater con-
trasts? The one typifies oyer-ripe re-
finement, the veneer of civilization: the
other embodies the primitive and siren
uous emotion of existence.

street, or Chestnut street, one may be-
