A SOUTH AMERICAN FOUNTAIN
And It Took Seven Miles of Pipe to
 Bring the Water to Il

From the New York Sun.
 'iThere are some features of the South American trade that have changed very much in the last dozen years" said ves- terday a man who used to be In that line For instance. when man in one of the Latin republics wants anything nowadays. he not only knows just what he wants. but he has a fair idea as to just what he should pay for it. In the good old days it was not so.
 T recall, for instance, the time when the dictator of one of the South Amer- can republics was making improvements out on the country place he owned in one of the interior provinces. It was some dis tance from his capital, and I doubt whether he ever went back to tne place more than once a year, and then only long enough to sleep there. Anyhow he had decided to make show place out of it. With that in view lie instructed his agent here to order for him one of the finest little fountains on the market The agent came to me, and took him around to a manufacturer of such things and we went carefully over the stock He chose one that was decorated with angels and such things. and the price was s250.
 You may make out bill for $500 said the agent to me. and T. conversaut with methods that obtained in his country, did as directed. Then a thought struck me.
 What about water?' I suggested.
 Water? repeated the agent. I never thought of that
 f'.Of course they will need water for the fountain. How will they get It"
 "The agent said he did not know.
 They will require water for the foun- tain,' I persisted How far away from the generals place is the nearest watcc supply available?
 "The agent thought 1t over. Finally he said: T really don't believe there is any water nearer than seven miles
 "'Then, I suggested, you will need pipe
 ..Yes. he responded, we shall need pipe.
 !" Seven miles of pipe I continued. 't Exactly he agreed. seven miles. "-Any steamers running anywhere near the generals place? '" No

 "'Then we shall have to saw the pipe into lengths that can be carried on mule back
 'Assuredly' he said. And we did cut the whole seven miles of iron pipe into six foot lengths, and II made almost enough to fill a ship. The bill for the pipe was made out in the same way as that for the fountain. and the whole lot was shipped, and the oill promptly paid. As revolution broke out in that country soon afterwards am m clined to think that that magnificent foun- tain and the seven miles of pipe that ac- companied it are making junk to day on the estate of the former dictator.
