Did you give bita a lift? He's a brother of man,
And bearing about all the bar<i?tn he oao. ? n
Did you give him a smile? He waa downoaat and txile,
And the amile would have helped him to battle it through.
Did you give him your hand? He waa slipping down, bill,
And the world, ao I fancied, waa ueing him 111.
Did you Rive him a word? Did you ahow him the road, ?
Or did you juat let him go on with hi* load.
_zw9 . ir^ j "1 ?
Did yon help htm along? He'a a sinner tiVe you,
But the gcasp ot your hand-might bare oarried him through,
Did you bid him good oh ear? Juat a word and a smile
Were what he moat needed that laat weary mile.
Do you know what he bore in that burden of otrea
That la every man's load and that sympathy shares?
Did you try to And out what he needed from you,
Or did you Just leave him to battle it 'through?
Do you know what it meana to be losing; the fight,
When a lift juat in time might act everything right?
-Do you knew what it msana ? Jnat the attap of a hand,
When a man 'a borne about til a man ought to stand?
Did you aak what it waa ? wby the quivering lip,
And the gliateniog tears down the pale oheek that alip?
Were you brother of his when the time came to be?
Did. you offer to help him, or didn't yon see?
Don't you know it's the part of a brother of man *
To find what the grief in and help when you oan?
Did you-etop when he asked you to give him a lift,
Or were you so busy yon left him to shift?
Ok, I know what you say may be true
But the test of your manhood is: What did you do?
Did you reach out a hand? Did you find l?im the road.
Or did you just let him go by with his load?

Automatic Electric System.
Washington, D. C.', September 28,
? Tbe Southern Railway Company
| is now installing an automatio eleo
trio block signal system on the
main line between Seminary, Va^
and Orange, Va., a distance of 60
miles, all double track. This sys
tem will be similar to the type
whioh has given splendid reaalts on
the doable track stretches between
Denim, N. 0., 'and Charlotte, N. C.,
and between Monroe Vs., through
Lynchburg to Montvtew, Va., and
when completed will provide con.
tinuous automatic signal protection
for trains from Orange into Wash
ington Terminal Station, giving in
all a total ot 198 miles of double
track proteoted by this system on
important stretohes of the Washing.
ton-Atlanta main line.
106 automatic signals will be
erected at interval of about two
miles, each intervals constituting
a "block," and the system will in
clude 13 interlocking plants control
ling switohes. The current for
operating the signals and switohes
and for lighting all statioas, switch,
and signal lights between Semjpsry
and Orange, will be supplie#oy a
high tension 4,400 vol^/a phase
j transmission line, from a substation
to be built near Alexandria, using
power from Alexandria County
Light and Power Company's plant.
To provide for emerency supply, a
power plant will be built at orange
equipped with a gasoline engine
and an alternating ourrent generator
of sufficient oapaoity to operate tbe
entire systeta.
The signals will be the usual
thre? position upper quadrant type,
using red, green, and white lights at
night for the "stop," "caution," and
"proceed indications. The intei
looking plants controlling switches
will b. equipped with power signals
and eleotria lights in the towers and
on the signals. Annunciators will
be provided to announce the ap
proach of trains in both directions
at each of these towers. This pro
tective system represents the latest
produot of engineering scienoe and
will greatly facilitate traffic and in
. crease the safety of train operation
in this territory.
