As I went back to my. room the eorri-

"He got no further. Tinkle saw him
coming and lifted the wash basin, which
was-deep in proportion to the pitcher,
nd he yelled back, 'You bet I did,
pnd I'll throw tlie whole wash, stano:
yu if you don't take your bunch
of ear st.littcrs away from here!' 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

fully but being at they're two as
pretty urns as ever you'd get a chanes

take a look at 'em before 1 took 'em
up to hi mcther's house.'
"And then I foand out that he
worked for 4a crematory and was de

SNAKE STOPPED THE RATLEOAD-.
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

together in his ; ower. It must have

strength it crushed thein so that those
at some 'distance heard their bones

its greot ' fangs deep in the body of
one of them, quickly sinking into the

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

mules in the camp and made off. back

road as fast as we could. - The fourth

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."

HORSE SHOW DATES CHANGED.
After due consideration and request
among the horse breeders of various
districts, the management of the Lewis
and Clark exposition have decided to
change the date of the horse show of
the livestock exhibit of the exposition,
to correspond with that of the cattle
show, which will combine all the stock
exhibit within the period, September
19 to 29 inclusive. These dates .will
not conflict with the Northwest . Fair
circuit nor other neighboring state
fairs at which many of the exhibitors
have planned to attend. The time for
entries in- this division has been ex
tended and will close August L j

All raisers of poultry do not realize

has been referred to in this, department
several -times, but more particularly la
reference to the grain ration. 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

need it.- Farmer. " .
