I liatwlllluui Trot
ter tolil me oil the
heuoh at Agnus
l-'reseas while I
waited for tlie gig
of the captain of
the fruit steamer
Auduilor, which
was to take die
an hi id. lteluctuutly 1 was leaving the
Uinil of Always Aflornoou. William
wis remaining, and lie favored me
with a condensed oral autobiography
as we sat on the sands In the shade
oust by the Hodegii Naclonal.
Am usual, 1 became aware that the
W in from Uoinbay had ulready writ
ten the story, but as lie had compressed
It lo an eight word Bculence I have be
come mi expansionist ami have uoted
hit phrase above with upologles to tilui
mill best regards to Terence.
"Don't you ever have a desire to go
lur k to the land of derby hats and
studied collars?'' 1 asked him. "You
seem lo be a handy man and a man of
hi i Inn," I continued, "und 1 urn sure 1
could ilud you a comfortable Job some
where In the States."
Magged, shiftless, barefooted, a con
tinued eater of the lotos, William Trot
ter had pleased me much, and I hated
to see him gobbled up by the tropics.
"I've no doubt you could," he said,
Idiy splitting the bark from u section
of sugar cane. "I've uo doubt you
could do much for me. If every man
co ild do as much for himself as he
cim for others every country in the
world would be holding millenniums
In dead of centennials."
There seemed to be pabulum In W.
T.'s words. And (hen another idea
runio to me.
I liud n brother in Chlcopee Falls
who owned uianufactorles-cottoti or
Hu,rar or A A sheetings or something
in Hie commercial line, lie was, vul
garly rich, mid therefore reverenced
Hit. The artistic temperament of the
1'iiinlly was monopolized at niy birth.
I knew (hat Brother .lumen would hon
or my slightest wish. I would demand
from him a position In cotton or sugar
or sheetings for William Trotter some
thing, any. at $-01) a mouth or there
iiImuiIs. 1 coulldeil my beliefs and
tnndu my propositions to William, lie
bad pleased me much, and he was
ragged.
While we were talking there was a
wound of llriug guns-four or live, rat
tling!)', as If by u mpiuil. The cheer
ful noise came from the, direction of
the cuartel, which Is a klud of make
Htiil't barracks for tho soldiers of the
republic.
"Hear thutV" said William Trotter.
"Let me tell you ubout It.
"A year ago I landed on this coast
with one solitary dollar. I have tho
statue sum In my pocket today. I was
second cook on a trauip fruiter, and
they marooned
me here early one
morning without
benellt of clergy
Just because I

cheese omelet at

low had kicked
because I'd put
horseradish In it
instead of cheese.
"When they
threw uie out of
the yawl Into
three feet of surf
I waded ashore
and Hut down un
der a palm tree,

as possible, but
"Hear that?" taid
William Trotter.

"I liad noticed there was n kind of
ii village buck of the beach, and enough
s -enery to out lit a dozen moving pic

II was a cannibal suburb, and I was
wondering whether 1 was to be serv--l
with carrots or mushrooms. And,
us 1 say, this dressed up man sits be
i.nle me, mid wo become friends in the
1 1 o of a minute or t ww. For an hour
I f Inlki'd, ilinl he told mo till about It.
"It seems that, he was a man of
parts, conscientiousness and plausllill

wreck lo ills appetites. He told me

mi I he said no: so that cuiieliuled my

" 'I'm pleased to have met you,' says
Walnwright. 'I'm a devotee to tho
great joss Booste, but my rumiuatlug
facilities ure unrepaired,' says he, or
words to that effect. 'And I hate,' says
he, 'to see fools trying to run the
world.'
" 'I never touch a drop,' says I, 'and
there are many kinds of fools, and the
world runs on Us own apex, accord
ing to science, with no meddling from
me.'
" 'I was referring,' says he, 'to the
president of this republic. His country
Is in a desperate condition. Its treas
ury Is empty, It's on the verge of war
with Mcamalu, and lf.lt wasn't for
the hot weather the people would be
starting revolutions In every town.
Here Is a ualUin,' goes ou Walnwrlght,
'on the brink of destruction. A man
of Intelligence could rescue It from Its
impending doom In one day by Issuing
I ho necessary edicts and orders. Pres
ident Gomez knows nothing of states
manship or policy. Do yon know Adam
Smith?'
" 'I.emme see,' says I. 'There was a
one eared mun named Smith in Fort
Worth, Tex., but 1 think his first name
was'
" 'I am referring to the' political econ
omist,' says Walnwrlght.
" 'S'mother Smith, then,' says I.
The one 1 speuk of never was ar
rested.'
"So Wuluwiight bolls some more
with Indignution at Iho Insensibility of
people who are not corpulent to till
public positions, and I hen be tells me he
Is going out to the president's summer
palace, which Is four miles from Agnus
I'rcscas, to Instruct him in the art of
running sleiini heated republics.
" 'Come along with me, Trotter,'
says he, 'and I'll show you what bralus
can do.'
'"Anything in It?' I asks.
"The satisfaction,' says he, 'of re
lit dug a country of 3Ml0t) popula
tion from ruin back to prosperity mid
pen ci.'
" 'Great!' says I. 'I'll go with you.
I'd prefer to eat a live broiled lobster
Just now, but give me liberty us second
choice If I can't be In at the death.'
"Walnwrlght und me permeates
through the town, and he halls at a
rum dispensary.
" 'Have you any money?' he asks.
"'I have,' says I, Halting out my sil
ver dollar. '1 always go iflioiit with
iiileiiiale sums of money.'
"'Then we'll drink,' says Waln
wrlght. " Wot me,' says I. 'Not any demon
rum or any of Its ramlllciitlons for
mine. It's one of my nou-wcakiiesscs.'
"it's my fulling,' says lie. 'What's
your particular soft point''
"industry,' says 1 promptly, i'm
hardworking, diligent, industrious and
energetic'
"'My dear Mr. Trotter,' says he,
'surely I've known you long enough to
tell you you me a liar. I'.very man
must have Ills own particular weakness
and his own particular strength In oth
er things. Now you will buy me a
drink of ruin, mid we will cull on Presi
dent Gome..'
"Well, sir," Trotter went on, "we
walks the four miles oul, through a
virgin conservatory of palms and ferns
und other roof garden products, to the
president's stiinuicr White House. It
was blue mid reminded you of what
yon see on Iho singe in the third net,
which they describe as 'same as the
llrst' on the programs.
"There wus more Ihaii fifty people
waiting outside the Iron fence that sur
rounded the house mid grounds. There
was generals, agitators and eergiies
In gold lace uniforms and citizens
In diamonds ami panauiu hats, all
waiting fi get nil audience with I he roy
al live curd draw. And In a kind of a
summer house In front of Hie mansion
we could see a limned sleniiu mini eat
ing breakfast out of gold dishes mid
Inking his time. 1 Judged that the
crowd outside hud come out for their
morning orders und requests and was
afraid to Intrude.
"Hut C. Walnwrlght wasn't. Tut
gale wus open, mid he walked Inside
and up to tlie president's tuble us court
dent us a man who knows the bend
waiter In a llfteeu cent restaurant.
And 1 went with him because I had
only 73 cents, mid there was nothing
else lo do.
"The Gomez limn rises from his chair
und looks, colored mull as he was, like
he wits about to cull out for corporal of
Hie guard, post No. 1. Hut Waluwright
says some phrases to him In a peculiar
ly liibrlcallng manner, and the Hist
thing you know we was all three of us
seated at the table, with coffee and
rolls und iguana cutlets coining us fust
as ubout ninety peons could rustle 'em.
"And then Walnwrlght begins to
talk, but the president Interrupts him.
"you Yankees,' says he, polite, 'as
suredly lake the -nke for assurance, 1
assure you,' or words lo that effect,
lie spoke F.ngllsh better than you or
me. 'You've hud n long walk,' says
he, 'but It's nicer lit the cool morning
to walk Hutu lo ride. May I suggest
Mime refreshments?' says lie.
"'Hum,' says Walnwrlght.
"'Glntine a cigar,' says I.
"Well, sir, the two talked nil hour,
keeping Hie generals and equities all
In I heir gold uniforms walling outside
tlie feme, and while 1 smoked, silent,
I listened to Clifford Walnwrlght mak
ing a solid republic out of the wreck of
one. I didn't follow Ills arguments
with any special collocation of Inter
national Intelligibility, but lie had Mr.
Gomez's attention glued mid riveted.
He lakes out a pencil and marks the
white linen tablecloth nil over with
ilures und estimates and deductions,
lie speaks more or less disrespectfully
of import and export duties and cus
tom house receipts and taxes und
treaties and budgets and concessions
md such trial; that politics and gov
ernment require, and when lie gets
through the Gomez mun hops up and
shakes his hand and says he's saved
:be country and the people.
You shall be rewarded,' says tho
president.
"'Might I suggest another rum?'
says Walnwrlght.
" 'Cigar for me -darker brand,' says I.
"Well, sir, the president sent me and
Wuluwiight buck to the town in a vic
toria hitched to
two lien bitten
selling platers
but tlie best the
country afforded.
"I found out
afterward that
Wainwrlght was
a regular beach
comber, I h e
smartest man
on the whole
coast, but kept
down by rum. I
liked hi in.
"One day 1
inveigled h I in
Into a walk out
a couple of miles
from the village,
where there wus
an old grass hut
ou the bank of
a lllllo liver.
While he was
sitting on the

president.
grass, talking beautiful of the wisdom
of the world that he hud learned In
books, I took hold of lilin easy and
tied his bunds and feet together with
le in her thongs that I hud In my
pocket.
"'Me still,' says I, 'and meditate on
the exigencies and Irregularities of life
llll I get back.'
"I went to a slun k In Agnus Fros
cas, where a mighty wise girl named
Tluioteu Carrizo lived with her moth
er. The girl was" Just ubout as nice
us you ever saw. In the Stales she
would have been called a brunette, but
she was better than briinelte-I should
my she was what you you might term
an ecru shade. I knew her pretty well
I told her about my friend Wain
Wright. She gave me a double hand
ful of bark callsnyu, I think it wus
aud some more herbs that I was to
mix wllh It anil told me what to do.
I was to make tea of It and give It
to him and keep him from ruin for
certain lime. And for two weeks I
did it. You know, I liked Wuluwiight.
Itolh of us was broke, but 'iiinoteii
sent us goat meat and plantains and
tortillas every day, and at lust I got
the curse of drink lifted from Clifford
Wain wright. He lost his laste for it.
And in the cool of the evening him
und me would sit on the roof of Timo
lea's mother's hut. eating harmless
truck like coffee and rice and stewed
crabs and playing the accordion.
"About that time President Gomez
found out that the advice of C. Wain
wrlght was the stuff lie had been look
ing for. The country was pulling out
of debt, and the treasury had enough

occasionally Willi the night latch.
"So down from the regiilu capital lie
sends for Clifford Walnwrlght and
makes him bis private secretary at 20.

much. Wuluvnight was on the water

government gang.
"As I said, n iiihii enn do n lot more
for another party than be can for him

a whole country out of trouble and
on lis feet, but what could he do for
himself? And without any special
bralus, but with some nerve mid com
moil sense, I put him on Ills feet be

he did nothing but n cigar for mine.
Yes, he offered me some pretty good

in the mountains that tiioy come from.
Tell me, wbut would this job you speuk

"Why," said I, hesitating over com
merce, "I should say $30 or $100 a
month, maybe $'J00."
"Ain't It funny." said Trotter, dig
ging his toes In the sand, "what a
chump u man is when It comes to pad
dling his own canoe? I don't know.
Of course I'm not making a living
here. I'm ou the bunt. Hut well, I
wish you could have seen that Tiino

The gig from the Andador was com

"I'll guarantee," said I confidently,
"that my brother will pay you $75 a

do .nothing for ourselves, but we can
do wonders for the other fellow? You
was about to get me with your finan

weak silnts, TImotca's mine. And,
say" Trotter bad turned to leave, but
he retraced the slop or two thut lie had
taken. "I like to have left you without
saying good by." said he. "It kind of
rattles yon when they go it way iiuex-M-cted
for n month and come back the
same way. Shake hands. So long!
Say, do you remember them gun shots
we heard nwhile ago up nt the cuartel?
Well, I knew what they was, but I
didn't mention It. It was Clifford

I guess we nil have our weak points
and can't do much toward helping our

A big black C'arib carried me on his
back through tho surf to the ship's
boat. On tlie way the purser handed
me a letter that lie had brought for me
nt the last moment from the post of
fice in Agtins I-'rcscus. It was from
my brother. He requested mo to meet
him nt the St. Charles hotel in New
Orleans and accept a position with his
house In either cotton, sugar or sheet
ings, and wltli ?n,(Xto a year ns my
salary.
When I arrived at the Crescent
City I hurried away far away from
the St. Charles to u dim chambre gar

ing down from my attic window from
time to time at Hie old. yellow absinthe
house across the street, I wrote this

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the car
There is onlv one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by a constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deufness is -caused
by an inflamed condition of the ntucout
lining of the Kustacuina Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
tho result. Unless the inflammation
can bo reduced and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will bf
destroyed forever. Mauy cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Cure acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system. "
Wa will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that
cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
