Pinkie is good hearted and means well, but his flow of language is too profuse Ve had had a hard day, nothing doing, weather too hot to allow any man to talk business and we sat down at our; open window, with a nico cool ' pitcher between us and some good cigars.

I don't know whether it was the size of the basin or the fashion of Pinkie's re; marks, but tbo fife and drum corps dis appeared round the corner, with the first fife still shaking the water from his whiskers Pinkie s a a resourceful coap. vvnen ho has a bad day's business he always takes it out on the town somehow, and it's a real pleasure to fall in with him un Jer tbe ctrennistanees. ' Last year w struck A just when the Jcountv fair was on. ot a man in j town would talk business with us, so Pinkie and I strayed out to the fair grOlinUS. .ever saw Kllr scruuuj bunch of stock at a county fair in all mv life, but Pinkie h just raved about that blooded stock. Pretty soon he had half the farmers with entries trail ing him about the pens. By and by he dropped a hint that he represented a- big- New York delivery firm that wanted to buy strong, blooded horses for its vans. Then every farmer about the grounds was hard on Pinkie's heels. When we went back to town Pinkie had secured , a promise from each f ar mer given secretly, of course to de liver the pick of his horses at the hotel that afternoon . at 3 -o'clock. At 2 we boarded a train for Harrisbury. tNo, Pinkie didn't cover that territory, any more. They were putting & new man in there and he knew it. , "One hot afternoon 1 was sitting on the cool side of the Planters' hotel in St. Louis, when a b'g Irishman came along toting a basket which wm a cross between a peach basket and a clothes basket. It had a cotton cover over it, thrown sort of losely, and just as he passed me he set the thing down, square in front of my feet. Then he pulled out a bandanna and commenced mopping his head ana complaining of the heat.' I agreed .with' him that it was a record breaking day and with this encouragement he said, sepaking quite boastfullv, 'I bet youcouldn t guess what is in that basket?' T A "It wasUoo hot to guess, and I told him :''' " v ' 'WeH, he said, obligingly, 'I don't mind telling you it's a man and a wo man, lie was an insurance solicitor, d'ed of trying, to work .in the bet no one ought ter work in hot weather in St, Louis and it broke her np, o he"Mifednhe veTyi est idtrtv-t Want to see renal' - iV4 t-.-jQ.fj '-j; ':.'-- N . a" thought 'tW man wa crazy, but nevertheietav I jerked my feet away from, that basket, and replied : ' Not on your life!

Bailroad building la ; Brazil - some years ago waa primarily a fight against rank '"vegetation and labor troubles," said Thomas E, Cassidy, who was ' f or merly an engineer there, -and he told a strenuous story of how an anaconda killed two men and frightened 1500 ojthera tp such an extent that h building of the road ceased forever. "I was born in England,' aad was there educated aa an, engineer," he said. " 'Way baek in 'a 7,. nearly 20 years ago, 1 went to Argentina, and after remaining there a short time went on to Brazil, where the incident of which 1 have been reminiscing occurred. My memory is fading now, for none of us can remember distinctly the happening of a, time so long ago, but as I look back across the years I can still see the horrible sight of those two men lioff ground to jelly by the great an aconda of the forest. I can still see the rioting of 1500 hungry men and the burning of the Brazilian under growth as it made impossible the ex tension of a railroad. "I remember a funny evperienee when I landed at Buenos Ayres. From the steamboat we were transferred, with our baggage, to a fugboat in the middle of' the river, because of its shal lowness; from there to small rOwboats; from there to carts pulled by horses in the water, and for the rest of the way we were compelled to get wet feet by walkine ashore.1 But one cets used to that sort of thing down there or used to, anyway. 1 went' to work at my profession as a civil engineer, not find ing it very difficult, for at that time men of special training were -in great demand in that country and I was nt long waiting. VI dickered around for higher wages for a while and then went at it for the railroad contractors then constructing the Bahia and Minas rail road. The name was as far as it ever got, as far as. the completion, of it was concerned, for its untimely end was not long in coming. 'The road was being built directly through a dense forest such as is com mon in the land of the equator. Those who have seen the everglades or the delta of the Mississippi or the great woods in parts of Canada can never imagine the growth one witnesses there. Great, giant trees seem to pierce tbe sky, so high do they go, and spread over aU branches and leaves whieh make all lark and mysterious beneath. These rank, , luxuriant grasses, bushes, pow ers, water growth and vegetation of every kind make a ; mass almost iin- j penetrable. When the great rains of the tropics swept over it, one Could almost see the growth going on. Well, i it was through this mass that we were going to build out railroad, and it was . tiele 0f incorporation in the corpora through this mass that we made slowTtinn .lo'rfmni r.t tl, n.. work.

Then it buried its greot ' fangs deep in the body of one of them, quickly sinking into the pool of water at one Side of the tree, for we had been working along the side of a stream. It was a horrible sight, and the men were frightened,- some of them superstitiOusly, as never before. "They ; made it known that they wished to go no farther and murmured ninong themselves like mutineers at sea. It was in the afternoon of the same day that we heard that . the ,- material had been , stopped at headquarters and so there we were, without means to go ahead. There was no food and no money to pay the men. Against them there'were but four engineers, including a Captain, Balfour and a man .named Averdick and myself. They demanded our provisions, as on the following day they grew hungry. We had but little and could give them none, and then came the deluge. The grumbling grew to threats and the threats to a wild riot, the men burning the entire camp. Perceiving our danger, for -tbey had threatened our lives, those I have men tion including ' myself, took the three mules in the camp and made off. back the way we had come in, building the road as fast as we could. - The fourth engineer, a Swiss, we left there, as he could find no mule.- Of his fate we ft IS A GOOD PLAN FINANCE COM&fXTXEE OF BOAEU OF SCHOOL DIRECTORS OFFERS E2IEEOENCT SUGGESTION. Would Borrow ' Money From l.ocal : Banks to Meet Indebtedness Until Prospective Popular Loan Can Be Floated Report Adopted by Board. , At the meeting of the board of school directors last evening the com mittee on finance made,, its first report suggesting tbe manner in which tbe debt for the building of the new cen tral school should be floated by the district. Thespian offered, by the com mittee was considered, most practical and ebmmonsense by the board and the report waa adopt eu . without dissent. The plan, as suggested, in brief, is that tbe district negotiate a series of loans from the local banks, bearing interest at 6 per cent per annum, in $4,000 and f,000 principals, respectively, and to run for periods of ninety days, each loan. The proposition, which is self explanatory, follows: ; " We, your committee on. finance, beg leave to report in part as follows: Realizing the necessity- of having money enough to meet our obligations to the contractors of the new high school building, an after careful de liberation, we have arrived at the con clusion that the easiest and most satis factory way to procure the required amount of money to meet the present emergency and to run us until we issue our ': 'popular loan or to procure the money in some other way to be devised by the board.' Wo would most respect fully recommend the following plan: "That we issue three notes for $1, 000 each, one payable to- Ladd & Bush, one payable to the Capital National bank and one to the Salem State bank, to draw 6 per cent interest, and te run ninety days. At the time . our next payment falls due, to issue three more notes for $2.0UO each, on the same parties, . to draw the same rate and run tii October 1, and at the date of our net payment we procure the bal ance nopded iu the samot way and to run until. the, same date. V .' . : "We find we will need in the neigh borhood of $25,000 to meet our obliga tions to Oetober 1., We would say fur ther that we have interviewed the various banks and they are willing to advance the money needed at tbe rate stated above, and would also say that owing to the plain statement of tbe law, that no interest can be paid on warrants issueu by the board either before or after tbe same has been signed by the clerk, we would recom mend the foregoing plan."

It applies, however, jnst as well to the greea food portion; because the towls are en the range it does not tollow that they, fie- ranch variety in the grasses they eat, and it will IO them aa immene amoifat of good if 'they ran have some of the discarded Vegetables, both tops and roots, that come from the carden. We 'have found it an excellent plan, even iu ' rummer, to feed onr growing chicks in j the morning a maah composed of wheat bran with a sprinkling of oil meal in it and thm completing the mash with about a quart of finely chopped vegeta- Iblcs and vegetable tops to about every twenty-five fowls. They seem to find in these vegetable tops and roots some j elemnt' of- food not -contained in the grasses on the range. If this feeding i done at the honse, where it should be done, it will aot If fteccAaary to fiiv them anythisg more in the way of grains until they come to the houso to JtJ at -nignt. At; this time. w give them, S ration Cohi$tisg f twe-tkirds wheat and one-third corn and in quan tity about one-half of the winter ration. It is impossible to keep up either an egg supply or a proper gowth of bone and muscle in the growing hicks by depending entirely on the range for their food supply. " It is particularly essential that the early hatched pul lets on whom we are relying for fall and winter eggj have this summer ra tion of grains. One should not forget that drinking water is essential during the summer, and , it should be supplied so that the fowls can' have it fresh .and clean as often during the day as they need it.- Farmer.
