HOW A DREAM is BEING
REALIZED.

What seemed TO be the dream of a
visionary is being realized in Africa.
Some one predicted few years ago
that eventually a railroad would be
built from Cape Town at the southern
tip OF South Africa. north to Cairo, on
the Mediterranean. People generally
laughed at the idea because Africa had
not quite emerged from the darkness
which yelled nine -tenths of that vast
area described in the earlier geogra-
phies as an unknown land. Cecil
Rhodes. acting on the suggestion,
started the Cape-to-Cairo railroad. and,
from our consular reports. we learn
that the construction goes steadily
on. although the originator has been
dead several years, and now the
dream of long ago Is about to be
realized
A Cape Town paper says,
ut is announced that this month,
Pauling &c Co viii start work on the
construction of a l00-mile extension
northward from Broken Hill. AL the
other end OF the gap is Hallaya.
1910 miles south of Cairo and only
separated from Khartoum by the Blue
Nile, across which a new railway and
road bridge is now in course of con
struction by the Soudan government

Value of the Bonus.

Tho bonus is great institution. It's
advantages over an increase CT salary
are manifold, An employe looking for
ward to a Christmas or New Year
present of ten to so per cent. of his
anENal salary will toll pretty hard TO
make prosperous year. Bonus hangs
upon prosperity, 1t Is saving clause
for the employer. He can say at the
close OF bad year: "Boys. we haven't
PAID expenses in the last IL months.
SO we can't afford to give you
bonus" or I'VE are too poor to de-
clare dividend; you will have to
walt for better times to get bonus"
It's mighty nice for a man whose pay
is $4,000 year to receive a bonus of
so per cent That makes his salary
S4.5OQ for at least one year.

O1lclal tests Of the many valuable
hard woods native to western Aus
trala have made known the extraor-
dinary properties of yate. believed to
be the strongest Of all known woods.
It's average tensile strength is $4,000
pounds to the square inch, equaling
that of good cast iron. Many speci-
and one was tested up to 17Ie tons to
the square inch, which is equal to the
tensile strength of wrought iron. The
sawn timber of yate Is probably the
strongest In the world The tree

A Smile Is the PreroeatIve of Man.

Nothing on earth can smile but
man. Gems may fash reflected light,
but what is a diamond fash compared
to an eye-f1ash and a mirth- flash :?
Flowers cannot smile; this is a charm
that even they cannot claim. It is
the prerogatiye Of man; 1t is the color
which love wears, and cheerfulness
and joy-these three. 1t Is light In
the windows of the face, by which
the heart signifies 1t is at home and
waiting. A face that cannot smile is
like a bud that cannot blossom and
dries up on the stalk. Laughter is
day and sobriety is night, and
smile is the twilight that hovers gently
between both-more bewitching than
Ward Beecher.

That Speclal Seal.

1t used to be that a special seal
was reserved for private correspond
ence, or TO secure packages among
friends. Nowadays boxes come from
the florist, wedding gifts of silver or
glass come tied up in dainty ribboned
boxes. with ends of ribbon sealed
to the box with wax to match,
marked with the private seal of the
dealer
This sealing Is more than a fad. 1t
insures both dealer and buyer against
loss.
If a package on being opened has
not It's full contents the discrepancy
is up to the store that sent II out,
with no possibility of shifting the
blame TO servants OF messenger boys.

fOTds hit him a clean blow on the chin,
and Referee Jimmy Byrns promptly gave
the fight to the Butte man. AS soon as
the decision was announced Jeffords
rushed at Dewey and they started to mix
matters again Officers rushed in and
separated the two men. .ieffOrds then
stepped over and slapped Dewey's man
ager, Joyce. who. Jeffords claimed, had
been using foul language toward him all
during the fight.
The outcome was anything but pleas
ing to the 500 fans who gathered at the
ringside. All during the fight Dewey con-
tinually went down to avoid punishment
JeffOrds was the aggressor from the
start and worked for the cOlOred mans
head for a full ten rounds. Then he
went after Dewey's wind and seemed to
do better work. Dewey slipped down in
the third round and JeffOrds slipped to
the floor in the tenth. After the fight
JeffOrds declared he lost his head and
didn't know what he was doing when he

WRESTLERS At SEATTLE
Portland Mat Artists Side.Stepped
Harker on Monday
Night

Local mat fans are wondering why the
Multnomah Athletic club. whose wTestlers
met the team Of the Salt Lake Y. NJ C.
A Monday night backed down on the 158-
pound class and why they did not fur
nish a man to meet Benny Harker. The
team had five men on its lineup, but
only four Of them wrestled on Monday
nisht Of the bunch HarkeT was cOnsid-
cred the strongest and was practically a
sure winner in the middleweight division.
However the returns DO not show that a
man was selected to meet Hsrker and II
IS believed the Portland people were
afraid Of meeting defeat and called this
match off.
The reports on the match from The Her
aid correspondent shows the Y. N. c a.
did not get anywhere near a square deal
from the officials. 1t shows that in every
match which went the limit and where
decision on points was necessary, that
Portland got the decision. II seems
strange that the Portland men could not
down the Y. n c. A boys and yet in
every case were given the decision.
The Y NJ c. 4 boys wrestle again to-
night when they will meet d team picked
from the Seattle Athletic club at Seattle

LOCAL SKATERS
MAKE BIG HIT
Phil 0'Mara Writes That the
Utah, Boys Are Giving Butte
Real Speed.

Phil O'Mara. manager OF the local
skating rink, who is now in Butte looking
after the interests of Schatz and Hardy
of Salt Lake and Green and Schofield of
Logan. the two Utah teams in the Butte
siX-day race, writes that the Utah boys
are all TO the candy in Montana. On the
opening night o. Mara says the Utah boys
showed the Butte fans that they could
travel some in Butte as well as in Salt
Lake. They convinced the crowd after
the hours racing that it was speed alone
which gave the Utah boys such victory
in the recent Salt Lake race. OMara
says the Butte sports are now betting that
the Salt Lake and Logan combinations
can beat anything in the world when IT
comes to speeding around q rink on roll
ers.
Bradford and Reynolds, the crack Butte
team did not start in the race. after all
the talking they have done about wanting
a chance at the Salt Lake boys in Butte.
1t is claimed by the Butte press that
there was some trouble over money mat
ters. but O'Mara says the Butte skaters
saw what was in store for them and did
not care to take chance with the Salt
Lake and Logan combinations on their
home floor. The race is drawing big
crowd.
