Show The Wonderful Congo. The Congo is the most wonderful waterway wa-terway in the world. It is 25 mile-across mile-across in parts, so that vessels may pas one another and yet be out of sight It has twice the extent of the navigable waters of the Mississippi and its tributaries tribu-taries and three times its population. Philadelphia Press. There are many little emDarrassments encountered by the professional stroller for which there seems to be no law, either ei-ther of compensation or amelioration. For instance, take the meeting of the tame person over and over again on an afternoon's travels. First time you are overjoyed at the encounter and find plenty to talk about Fifteen minutes later you meet again, and the interview is a trifle less spicy.
