IAcking does not get past here Without
doing some work, for the inhabitants
are very Industrious. Then the rivers
unite their waters and make a stream
deep enough to float barges full OF
creckery and steamboats, laden with all
the things they make here. down to the
Ohio and thence to the Mississippi and
away to the Gulf Of Mexico.
Now, when it came to building q
bridge to join that city together the
wise men Of the place saw that 1t would
have to be q bridge with three ends. A
queer bridge that would be, indeed. for
who ever heard Of bridge with more
than two ends to 1t? There was not
such thing in the United States. But
they had to have 1T and so they made
it. And 1t was the only bridge Of the
kind in the world except one In Swift
zerland that Is somewhat like It To
look at 1t one would think that each
town had started to build bridge out
to the others and all three bridges had
met in the middle Of the river.
Each part Of the bridge had four hall.
ways, two big ones for horses and two
little ones for people walking. 1t had Il
shingled roof over all the length of II
and windows In the sides, SO that II
was a sort Of house bridge. When i,
rained you could go out on the river
and be out OF the wet, Where the
bridges came together there was BIZ
room out in the middle Of the river
with the twelve Railways opening into

horses and wagons and people that WIS

body in the three parts Of the city haf
to come out here whenever they wen

One after another he let them pass,
Then fastened the meadow bars again.

He patiently followed their soeer pace;
The merry whistle for once was still,
And something Swallowed the sunny
face.
Only boy, and his father had said
He never could let his youngest go;
Two already were lying dead
Under the feet Of the trampling Zoe
But after the evening work was done,
And the frogs were loud in the meadow

Over his shoulder he slung mis- gun
And stealthily followed ths footpath

With resolute heart and purpose grim,
Though cold was the dew on his hurryinx
feet,
And the blind bats Sitting startled him.
Thrice since then had tho lanes been
white,
And the orchards sweet with apple
bloom;
And now, when the cows come back at
night,
The feeble father drove them homo.
For news had come to the lonely farm
That three were lying where two had
lain;
And the old mans tremulous, raisied arm
| Could never lean on sons again.
The summer day brew cool aud late,
He went for the cows when the work
was done;
But down the lane, as he opened the gate,
He saw them coming one by one {

II Thou wilt Lead.

Lord, in the path where must walk
With weary feet toward setting sun
# Thou wilt lead, I'll follow on,
Until the journey shall be DONE
Whisper to me as night comes on
The milestone that cannot see,
Grasp with Thy power my failing

And let my soul be stayed on Thee.

May I be lost in sweet amaze,
As all the glory Of the West,
Is flashed upon my eager gaze.

In rejecting on the little we have
achieved, let US take comfort from the
consciousness that we have aspired
greatly. The humb1est duty faithfully
discharged and done, the earnest pur-i

Of ours in another soul-these things
are not measurable in terms Of guam

The manager of theatrical paper pub
lished in London has accidentally fur
nished a remarkable CONFEDERATION of one
of the most ingenious theories Of the
great American master to whom all
writers of detective stories owe allegiance
In his classic story of 1.-THE Purioined
Letter. Edgar Allan Poe tells of an emf
nent and astute politician who conceives
an ingenious hiding place for a compro-
missing letter of which he Is in possession.
The writer, an exalted parsonage. has en-
gagged the services of the head Of the
Partisan detective service to regain the
letter, and the politician hits upon the
brilliant idea of hiding it by not hiding it
at all-of SO thrusting it under the nose
Of the great detective that he is certain
not to find it. And the trick succeeds I'M
til Poes hero, the forerunner of Sherlock
Holmes and all his tribe, proves a match
for the politician M. Sardou avowedly
borrowed the iGea for the comedy known
to English playgoers as "A Scrap Of
Paper" and Sir Conan Doyle has also
confessed to appropriating it.
The manager of Encore" in accidental
imitation of the heroes of fiction and

urged the latter to publish a collection of
stories himself. But the antiquary was a
Scott worshiper and preferred to give him
al. the legendary and traditional material
ne gathered. Portions of Guy Manner
ing" and "Old Mortality" are directly
traceable to assistance received from
Iraln, and the same may be said in a
lesser degree of some of the other novels
Train also presented Scott with a number
OF articles of antiquarian interest, includ-
ing THE Wallaca Chair"
Joseph Train published two volumes of
poems, well-known History of the Isle
OF Man." and a work on that peculiar
sect, 1.-The Buchanites" He intended to
publish history OF Galloway and was
engaged in the preparation OF the ma
terial when his communications with
Scott began.

added to by the successful wars which
| the kings waged with other nations. The
| monarchs Of that day had mighty armies
of both infantry and cavalry. Some Of
the kings had as many as 10000 war
chariots, and ancient writers say that
there were scattered along the Nile from
here to Memphis 100 stone stables each
large enough to accommodate 200 war
horses.
How Pharaoh Looked.
1t brings one close to the days of the
Scriptures when one can put his hands
on the very same things that were touch
ed by old Pharaoh; when one can visit
the temples in which he worshiped; can
sit on the statues erected in his honor
and can look at the tomb in which his
royal bones were laid away. One feels
closer still when he can look at the
mummy itself and actually see the hard
hearted old heather almost as he was
when alive.
1 have gone through all these expert
ences. l saw here today the temple in
which the king s mummy was found and
have. made notes of old Pharaoh him
self as he lay before me in his casket in
the museum at Cairo. The oppressor of
the Hebrews was a good-looking man.
His mummifed face shows broad fore
head. strong Roman nose, long chin
and a firm, iron jaw. He had big ears
set close TO the nead, luXuriant brown
hair and an Adams apple which rose and
fell as he swallowed. Some of his teeth,
Notwithstanding their 10000 years
are still sound, and they show plainly
out of a pair of thin lips. He was a tail
man. as can be judged from his mummy,
and the records show he had kingly air
This man was known as Rameses II. He
was one of the greatest kings of ancient
Egypt: his temples are scattered through
out the Nile valley and his statues are
the largest ever discovered. One was
found in the delta which measured forty
two feet in height, and there are others at
Abu Simbel in Noba, about as far I'D the
Nile as Chicago is distant from the mouth
Of the Hudson. which are sixty-six feet
high. They are seated on. thrones and
are hewn from the solid rocks. These
statues stand right in front of the temple,
which is cut out of the rock, and which by
the way, is an evidence that Pharaoh was
not as hard-hearted as he is generally
represented. The temple is said to have
been erected by him in honor of his IA
vorite wife, Nefert-Ari, and about it arr
statues of his CHI ldren. which show
that he loved his family. Besides,
the Bible says that the Lord hardened
Pharaoh's art and that this was evil
IDENTIFY the reason why he would not let
the Israelites go. The fact that his heart
needed to be hardened shows that it was
soft. and it is probable that the old king
was fairly good fellow after all.

great number of Galloway stories, legends
and traditions, which he placed from time

urday night placed upon the night run,
leaving this city at $50 o'clock. She re-

to Newport News to have some repair
work done to her machinery The steamer
Washington is on the night route, running
opposite to the News" and the James
town is on the day route and will it is
understood, be kept in service until the
exposition closes. The Norfolk and Wash
ington steamers are now the only ones
operating out of this city TO the James,
town exposition and Norfolk. The bids for
the fine new boats that the company will
build will be opened in d. few days. These
steamers are to be the finest and fastest
ever on Chesapeake bay, and will be in
keeping with the service lintained by
the n & w. Company
Of the fleet of a dozen or more steam
boats that were in service on the river
during the summer less than half of them
are now in service. and within the next
month several of those now running will
e laid up, and only the steamers that run
all the year arouno will be in service.
There is difficulty in finding berth room
for the out.ot-service boats, and it is
probable that two of the idle steamers of
