This is one of the most gigantic undertakings that has been considered in this country along this line. Up to the present time, MT. Davis has designed and the Cleveland Crane and Engineering Company has built every travelling crane that has been placed on the isthmus.

About fifteen months ago he was rendered the position of chief engineer with the Cleveland Crane and Engineering Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, which position he accepted. MT. Davis sailed from New York for Panama on December H."

H. 1T WE'RE so.

How fine our life would run along,
Just like the music in a song,
or like train OF Pullman cars,
With only soft and pleasant jar.
If things could happen every day
Tho way they work out In play,
There everything is life and light,
The men are bold, the girls are bright.
Things for an act or two go wrong
But in the end right COMES out strong.
The hero always wins the bride.
With mirth and music on the side.
No one is bothered in the play
About a small thing like his pay.
one always has a roll Of bills
That easily a pocket fills
And IL he ever should run shy
A check book brings new supply.
The bill collectors never knock
To give the timid one a shock.
The only troubles on the mat
Pertain to love and things like that.
And even they have feeble power.
They come out right in half an hour.
or course the william does not fare
SO well. But who for him would care
He only serves to emphasize
That virtue draws the certain prize,
That the deserving wins the wife.
AN. would that it were so In life!
