HOLDING UP AMERICA.

the marvellous speed of American
trains.
'"Three men," he said, ga French
man, an Englishman and an Ameri-
can, were once praising their respec-
tive railroads-for an American will
praise his railroads abroad, though
at home it's usually different story.
"Well, the Englishman said:
"'Our express trains go so fast
that the telegraph poles along the
line look like high board fence
"'Our rapides,' said the French
man, go so fast that the stations
along the line seem continuous, like
city block
''The American pulled at his ci-
gar thoughtfully.
"'Once, ON an American express
he said, Il passed field of carrots,
field of potatoes, a field of cabbages
and cow, and the train, gents, was
going so fast-so durn fast-I
thought saw an Irish stew"
