nrinin Of AHelnmeet y

"Helpmeet'' has had a curious his,
tory which began with the biblical
account of the creation, when "the
Lord God said, 1t is not good that
the man should be alone; l will make
him an, help meet for him" That is
to say, a fit assistant. But the two
words hove become curiously combin-
ed into "helpmeet," and they are
constantly used as one. Moreover,
the confusion is increased by the cor.
ruption Of the words into "help-mate,' .
and Macaulay writes of the waiting
woman who was generally consider.
ed as the most suitable help mate for
a parson."

Mr.. Rogers and that even now the
completion of the road was regarded
as problematical. In answer to this
Major Page said:
II know nothing about these mat
tiers other than what I have seen in
the newspapers. ! regard it simply
as newspaper talk. We are going
right ahead with the construction of
the road. We have 200 out of the
443 miles laid with track, the work
of construction is proceeding with
out delay, and the whole line from
Deepwater to tidewater will be fin
ished by April or May OF nextryesr."
Asked about the plans for an ex-
tension of the line to the lakes,
which Is the ultimate object Of the
builders, the enterprise having been

and altogether superior road from
the lakes to the sea. Major Page said
that no announcement of plans as to

this part OF the project will he car

talked with Mr.. Rogers can doubt,
as it was his appreciation long ago
of the need of more rails between
the lakes and the sea that led him
10 take up the enterprise.
Built to a remarkably low grade,
constructed in conspicuously sub
stantial manner, and making short
cut from starting point to destina
ton. without reference to the towns
and cities along the route, this rail
road is one of the most notable
achievements in railroad constrHc
zion in all history. Without ask
ing a dollar of public subscription
or Offering bond or stock for sale,
the remarkable work was inaugural
ed and has heen carried on in that
way.
