Bridge Was Up

Out in the state of Washington, a bridge on the line of one of the great railways had been destroyed by fire, and it was necessary to replace it with temporary structure.
 The bridge engineer and his staff were ordered in haste to the place, a draughting room was established in an adjoining station, and the scene became one of great activity.
 Two days later came the superin- tendent of the division to add more pressure to the already tense situa- ton. Alighting from his private car he encountered the master bridge butler
 The latter was type evolved by the railroad situation of the last gen eration-heavy-h handed, hard of head, with some knowledge of books and a vast experience.
 'Joe," said the superintendent, and the words quivered with energy, q want this job rushed Every hours delay costs the company money Have you got the engineers plans for the new bridger"
 ''I don't know" replied the bridge builder, whether the engineer has got the picture drawed yet or not, but the bridge is up and the trains is passin' over it."

Though there has been little appre-
citation OF the fact I'm this country, it is
well recognized in England that South

chiefly the work OF Americans. Cecil
Rhodes and Alfred Belt and Barney
Barnato have. by reason Of their spec

much more than their share Of attention
that the huge part played by Americans
in that country has not been known so
well az 1t has deserved. Yet il is the
fact that Americans. fiOckinE from the
gold regions Of this country when Africa
first began to develop the riches Of ibs

greater part Of the work Of solving the
problems which were numerous and diiti-
cult In that new and forbidding region.
