Everyone said that Ike was TOO
much of fool to hold on to the
money, but somehow or other he
fooled EN-. Felier up to Bangor wan
ted him to buy house lots and Ike
took a trip up there. Ike was gone
thirteen days and came back with
the deeds o thirteen lots. Five years
afterward he sold them all out at
more'n double what he put into
EN-. Mother Teller wanted Ike 10 go
up to Bost'n and buy some mining
stock. Ike he started, but he was so
ALFRED slow gettin' up to Bangor
that he missed the train. The train
was No. 10. and it was all smashed
up on the way to Bostn. Bad for the
train but lucky for Ike. Next day Ike
got To Bost'n, to find that the police
had cleaned out the mimi stock
Teller as a fraud. Ike got there just
thirteen hours too late to buy some
of the stock. Came back in the stea-
mer and found that there was only
two staterooms-11 and 13-left.
Drummer was bound to have No. Ia
and Ike said all right. that he'd take
No. g. That night a schooner polk
ed her jibboom through No. 1 and
killed the drummer in his bunk. Ike
slept so sound that he didn't know
nothin' bout it till next day.
And that's the way it went all
through. Sol and Sam and Billy they
all had to come to Ike for help fore
long, and Ike he says to EN-:

In my younger days there was a

Long Island named Pinkham-old
man and fout boys, and all good
sailormen, barrin that Ike. the old
est o. the boys, who was about the
slowest critter that ever eat vittels.
They used to say that it took Ike so
long to get undressed and say his
prayers that when he fin'ny got into
bed twas time to turn out. Be that
as it may, he was CHASTITY slow, so
that no one would ship him board
| a vessel 'cept the old man, so he
never got much 'sperience to sea.
| Other three boys they went fore
the mast a few trips, and then got
mates births, and after a few years
/ they all had vessels O. their own. Old
man he died one winter, and when
they divided up his prop'ty the three

times the fsrp want with quarter

Now, all this took place on the
18th O. June; there was 13 acres in
to that there farm, and it was wuth
not to exceed $1,000, 'cordin' to the
best real estate experts in Islesboro,
and Ike's share o. the law expenses
was just $13. Sol Pinkham went out
to the Wind'ard Islands in the
schooner, and did fair to middlin'
that season, but no great, and t'other
boys, Bill and. SAM they just plug
ged along coastin, same's before.
End O. the fust year the three own
eTs O. the Fannie Pinkham they di-
vided $1,000, the vessel havinp no
bills O repairs, the old man h4yin
left her ia good shape. Ike, he lust
managed to get 'nuff to eat and pay
his taxes, but he used to say that
when he eat his supper and turned
in he knew where he was a going to
wake up, which was more'n t'other
Pinkhams did Ike set good deal
on comfort and the safety O his
carkiss.
Next season wasn't much for
coastin,, freights bein' way down,
and Bill and Sam they cuofdShardly
keep above water. Wuss luck still
for Sol. for he got the Fannie Pink
ham ashore down In. the. gulf some
~ heres, and .its cost more'n they
made the year+before to get her off
and tow her into Mobile. When Sol
he got bktk. north again he went
home to Long Island to get over a
.fit O. chills and fever he'd caught
down Nm them gulf ports and when
he landed fust thing his eyes lit on
was Ike a-drivin, of a smart boss.

A man better equipped for the

could not be easily found. Trained
to the practice of the law and sue sue

Tendencies have led him into con-
structive business, and his engage
ment in public affairs has followed
as a consequence Of commercial and
industrial efforts, and not from poll-
ticaI interests. He is not a poiltl-
clan at all, as the term is usually
understood. He is business man,
intensely interested in the material
development of the State, who na:
thought deeply upon the ways where
by the public may be promoted
through practical legislation.
Born in ColumO Oia, educated IN the
schools of Charleston and, at the
University of Virginia, Mr.. Rhett pc
gan the practice Of the law IN
Charleston. He met with success
from the first. Particularly atten-
tive to commercial law, he soon be-
came interested in business enter

bilitation of an impaired bank hav-
ing come into his field Of effort, ne
devoted himself to the task with
marked ability and eminent success,
and from this essay he was led into
banking as profession. He became
the head ofone ofthe strongest banks
in the State, and he has, for more
than ten years, directed its aIalrs
