And he was gone in less time than IL
had taken most of the candidates to
introduce themselves. When the door
closed upon him the committee looked
at one another and the superintendent
said: ~ tell you what think, gen.
tlemen; when we come to choose a
principal for our commercial high
school, that's our man." And to that
place he was elected, although he had
given no special attention to business
branches.
Now what must be the general con-
| dltion of teachers manners when 1t is
such a distinction as this to have the
appearance and bearing of gentle
man and the decision and directness
of business man? A normal and
university graduate of considerable
experience was candidate for a place
In the Albany normal, and was pretty
sure of it up to the point when he
called upon the State Superintendent.
This officer was at his desk, and the
candidate when he came in seated
himself familiarly on the side of it.
That cost him his appointment, and 1t
ought to. AS rule men teachers are
uncouth, crude, i'll at ease in COM
pany. They do not know how to enter
drawing room or a business Office
or how and when to get out Of either.
1t is amazing what a difference it
makes in a teachers presence IL he
goes into business for time and
learns how to meet people.
Men principals are often petty
tyrants; they accept and demand obe-
dlence to the point of servility. How
often you see principal and his as
sistants coming in body to an asso-
citation, the women cluttering about
him and he strutting majestically,
like cock and hens in barnyard.

this influence SO much that he never

A superintendent of schools in one
OF the large cities was walking from
one building to another with some of
his teachers. 1t was an oppressively
hot day in June and they were in the
glare. Finally one of the ladies sug-
gested: "Dr. -, don't you think
it would be better to walk on the
shady side?" "Oh, no." he replied,

then crowding the second one into
the fanlight. In fact, he was now
putting such supreme exertion into
the work that you could not say that

Another half-minute. and Ballyhoo
ceased desperately attempting to
throw Chang to the other end of the
car by the tail. With sudden hor-
rid thought he looked for his clothes!
The one thing left was his red
parade waistcoat. And Chang had
missed that only because 1t had fallen
down behind the bed. There was
something about that waistcoat, too.
Ballyhoo had six one hundred dollar
bills sewed up in it. And with a
single plunge he gathered 1t up.
He did 1t too eagerly. Chang saw
him; he saw that waistcoat, and at
once, with a new hope, he extended
his trunk for it.
Now, from the standpoint of pure
reasoning, Chang could not see why
Ballyhoo should not have pointed out
that waistcoat to him as soon as he
saw that 1t had been overlooked. For,
as he put it to himself. "I've tried
the sacking, and that wouldn't stay
in. I've tried the quilts and blank
cts, and they wouldn't stay. I've
tried all the rest of his clothes-I've
tried everything but that waistcoat
So doesn't that prove that that waist
coat is the very identical article
need?"
But Ballyhoo was not listening to
reason any more than If there had
never been any such thing. With
Chang reaching his big trunk now
round this side of him, now round
that, he had to keep fiinging himself
up and down that monster, specially
constructed private car in a way
which made thinking difficult.
"Quit it," he kept yelling at the
persistent Chang. "Git away! Oh.
I'll fix you for this I'll fix you!
Stop it,"
But Chang did not stop. He was
not that kind of elephant.
And then Ballyhoo lay down with
it. He had got an arm through one
side of that red waistcoat, and he
thought that II he could once get It
buttoned up on him. he would be all
right.
But by the time he had got his arm
through that one side. Chang had got

That was Balyhoo's idea of 1t. But
as 1t grew colder and colder, and
colder, Chang's thoughts ran some
thing this way: well, don't know
that / understand this. It's the same
old car, all right" and he stood for
while on the other forefoot. sits
the same old fanlight and the same
old saking. But"-and he tried to
get his trunk over his left ear
seems to me I've only made It cold
er! Seems as If this climate But
say, maybe l didn't put that sacking
right"
And sure enough, he had left 1t so
loose that he could see the dawn
through 1t in three places. II might
have known 1t all the time," he
thought, and giving good, strong,
vigorous push-he showed the whole
bundle through and out upon the
other side!
Now, that would have discouraged
some people, but 1t could not dis
courage Chang. For he knew that
stufIing things into that fanlight
made the car warm. There were two
or three sacks left, besides which
there were several things in Bally-
hoo's corner that would serve MIN
just as we'll.
Well, would you believe 1t. when
he had just begun to get those other
things wedged in good and tight, they
went through, too, and followed the
sacking down the mountain!
So he had to go back to Bally-
hoo's corner again. There was moth
ing else for him to do. He had not
intended to. And after that he had
to go third time.
Perhaps five minutes later Bally-
hoo began to dream that he was
walking with Chang into a mighty
palace, such as he had seen on a
children's page of an illustrated news
paper. And the king in it said it
was called the Cave of the Winds,
and II he would wait a minute or two,
he would see the winds all turning
into icicles. And just about twenty
seconds after they had turned into
icicles Ballyhoo woke up.

"Quit IT." yelled Ballyhoo again.
"Quit It'll You old bat! Amt 1t
enough that you've got me pretty
near froze to death the way 1t is?"
That was precisely the point Chang
wanted to make. For what was the
use of their freezing to death when
If Ballyhoo only chose to stop and
think moment-they could both of
them be snug and comfortable again?
But If one partner had renounced the
use of his intellect, the more reason
why the other should use his. And
he began to exert himself in good
earnest. He began to pull indeed.
For his part, Ballyhoo STOPPED ar
guing now. He simply flattened him
self there, and tried to get grip on
the straw with his teeth, and on the
floor boards with his finger-nails, and
to kick Chang's chest in with his bare
feet. His one idea was to roll him
self back on that waistcoat as fast
as Chang rolled him off 1t.
"Oh, you wait till l get out Of
here!" he cried. "I'li feed you dyna-
mite! I'll run you out of the show!
I'll beat you to death! Quit 1t! Quit
It! Quit i'll"
Chang understood all that; and II
seemed to him that he had never seen
Ballyhoo show himself so persever-
ingly unreasonable before. But since
the responsibility for their well-being
had now been placed upon his shoul-
ders alone, he acted accordingly. He
gave one last, almost irresistible tug,
brought away that red waistcoat all
but few shreds about the armhole,
and carefully placed it In the fanlight.
In five seconds 1t had followed
everything before it. Ballyhoo was
not trying to use his voice any more.
He was rushing Chang up and down
the car, batting him with a barrel
stave. And that was reasonable, at
any rate, for 1t did not hurt Chang
any, and 1t kept them both very near

Of American highways is gaining in
avor throughout the country. Public
men in public speeches are making

counties are voting appropriations for
hard thoroughfares. And they have
found that such investments have re-

Farm Machinery For Peru.

There is considerable demand for
farm machinery and implements in
Peru, according to Charles M. Pep
per, special agent of the Department
of Commerce and Labor, and Amer
ican manufacturers have not neglect
ed it. He remarks, however, that
samples and exhibits of these goods,
which are to be found in large num-
bers, are of sort not particularly
suited to the uses of the Peruvian
farmer. Peru has almost no horses,
and it's draft animals are oxen, a
fact which has an important bearing
on the styles of implements, such as
plows, cultivators, reapers and now
ers, which are to be drawn by them.
Besides this, the natives are used to
the wooden stick, or beam plow,
which generally has single handle.
Knowing no other form of plow, the
farm laborers are prejudiced against
the improved two-handle imple-
ment; but, so far as Mr.. Pepper has
observed, only one American manu-
facturer has taken note of this Pc
culiarity and devised a single-handled
plow. There are in Peru many grad
yates of American agricultural col
leges who would serve as excellent
agents for the introduction of Amer
ican farming machinery, and Mr.. Pep
per thinks that the employment Of
these young men will be large fac
tor in the growth of American trade
in agricultural implements.

i Good Roads. =
. Our wretched Roads.

The much-exploited New York to
Paris motor car race has been for q
long time such an obvious farce, ow-
ing to the execrable condition OF the
roads between New York and San
Francisco, that the discovery of the
impossibility Of traversing the Alas
kan coast on the way to the Bering
Straits does not surprise people In
the least. The scheme was visionary
at the outset. 1t sounded well enough
when stated, but it soon became ap-
parent that motor cars that could not
get through the snow ON the high
ways of the continent could hardly
be expected to negotiate the chuck
holes, drifts and snow banks of the
frozen trail from Valdez to Nome.
regardless of the absurdity of cross
Ing Bering Straits on the ice.
However ridiculous the anti-cllmax
Of this stage of the race may be, the
affair has sharply emphasized the
urgent necessity of concerted action
throughout this country in favor of
good roads. Our highways are at
present disgrace to us as civilized
people. We boast of our advance
ment, when we cannot send a motor
car, the highest type of our mechan-
ical development to-day, 500 miles
without being mired helplessly.
Washington, for an example, is vir-
tually isolated from the North, the
South and the West, as regards the
ordinary roads of travel. Heavy
teams can make their way through
over long distances, but with the
greatest difficulty.
Motoring to Washington should be
one of the most delightful pastlmes of
those with the leisure to travel about
the country in this manner. But 1t is
no idle task. 1t is an achievement,
triumph Of patience and mechanical
construction. Only the more intrepid
motorists undertake it, save those
who venture without asking the way.
There should be road between this
city and New York so well built and
we'll maintained that good car could
make the run easily in day and a
half without pushing at any stage.
Such road would cost money, but It
would pay quickly. 1t now takes
four days, unless the car is raced re-
gardless of safety.
Those who use the roads always
note the difference in the appearance
of the country when the highways i'm
prove or deteriorate in quality. Nov
ing through muddy, treacherous
road, the traveller see on either hand
the signs of Indifferent management.
Passing thence into the region of the

with evidences of constant, intelli-
gent repairing, no Imagination is re-
quired to discern the tokens Of pros
perity and progressiveness.
1t is always interesting to the trav-
eler by road to ponder whether the
good road is the cause or the effect of
the prosperity which is always so
abundantly visible on every hand.
Certainly the good road enables the
farmer to do his work with less labor,
saves his stock, increases his profits
and adds to his net income If he hauls
his goods to market. That is DEM
onstrable fact. The poor road dis
courages settlers of the better sort,
gives the land the aspect of neglect
and discouragement and, in short,
stamps the region with the sign of
shiftlessness or poverty. Washing
