turned to Oruro. The dwelling was
four stories high. The gentleman who
had the thing in charge did the best
he could, but he made some odd blum
ders. He had the house built four
stories high, but when it was COM
pleted there was one curious omission.
No provision had been made for stair
ways. You could not get from floor
to floor except by climbing a ladder
outside. To remedy this defect be-
fore Don Simon returned, ready made
stairs were ordered from the United
States and holes were cut in the floors
to accommodate them.
Unfortunately, the stairways were
longer by about three feet than were
necessary, and when they were put
into place steps had to built down
from the top of them to the level OF
the floor. When Don Simon got back
to Bolivia he had the delight Of pos
sessing the finest house in Oruro, and
also the queerest one in South Ameri
ca.
1t is the hope and expectation OF
Senior Patino to divert some of his
business to the United States. He is
extending his business constantly
Only recently he bought from the
Penny Duncan company and the Com
pania Minore de Balloon, at cost Ot
!, $2,4OO0O0, new property which is
| expected, when developed, to yield ever
more fabulous returns than his pres
ent holdings. The exports NJ tin from
Bolivia today exceed $20,000,00O {
year. Most OF this comes from th'
mines of Don Simon. He believes i
will not be long before the production
of Bolivia exceeds that of the Straits
Settlement. 1t is his aim and ambi
tion to attain that end.

LIGHT BOOZE.
Do You Drink It?

A minister's wife had quite a tus-
sic with coffee and her experience is
interesting. She says:
During the two years Of my train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty,
/ became addicted to coffee drinking.
Between Midnight and four in the
morning, wnen the patients were
asleep, there was little to do except
make the rounds, and it was quite
natural that ! should want hot cup
of coffee about that time. l could
keep awake better.
After three of four years of cof-
fee drinking, became nervous wreck
and thought that l simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes SO severe as to
keep me in bed for several days.
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee tor ne
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, so resolved 10

the hurtful habit.
Il began taking Postum, and for q
few days felt the languid, tired feel,

but I liked the taste Of Postum, and
that answered for the breakfast bev'
erage all right.

In agony Sometimes the consignee
sold to advantage. Sometimes he did
not. Patino had to depend upon the
honesty Of the man he shipped his
metal to. When the returns were good
he was able to resume work on a
larger scale. When they were poor,
he was threatened with bankruptcy.
But, good or bad, he kept his store
running. That brought in a little rev.

tight pinch.
In his third year Patino began to
see daylight. He had no further need
of shutting down periodically and he
was able to make regular shipments
across the mountains. Tin was bring
ing a better price and he was making
money, but he kept his own counsel.
Not only that, but he was emboldened
to branch out. The tin zone Of Bo-
livia is divided into four districts-La
Paz in the north. Oruro in the CEN
ter, Choroloque in the south, and Po-
tosi in the east. The country had
not yet recovered from the silver de-
preston, and mining claims, especially
tin properties, were at bargain prices.

ing the output and extending the op'
erations in and about La Salvador.
Business Increased Greatly.
Hamburg is the great depot for the
distribution of tin. Senor Patinc
opened an office there in No. Leo
poldshof, and thereafter his European
agent looked after the sale of hi'
metal. This was more satisfactory ant
more profitable than the former ar
rangement. Then he negotiated with
steamship companies and managed
by guaranteeing a certain amount o.
cargo, to obtain regular sailing from
Antofagasta. The uses of tin were
increasing steadily and Patino founC
a ready market at a good price fol
all he could produce, so, gradually, hi
opened up new mines.
One day Bolivia awakened to tn,
fact that Senior Patino was doing
big business. A little later it decided
he was doing an enormous business
Since then it has been getting SUI
prise upon surprise until now it won

heard satisfied them.
A little later Senior Patino moved in.
He had his wife, his children, his
relatives and various servants. His
relatives included his sisters, his
brother, his cousins and his aunts'

His Doines In United States.
Don Simon had business to trans
act in New York When he went call
ing he took a flock of automobiles,
for he usually was accompanied by
a bunch of his relatives. Business
to him is a family affair; he wants
his business friends to know his fam
lily and his relatives. All his busi-
ness was not in New York. He had
to go to Boston, and he had to go to
Washington. There are some rich men
who, when they go travelling, hire a
special car. Not Senior Patino. When
he went to Boston he went in his own
special train. When he went to Wash
ington, he went in a special train.
/ Expense did not signify. How could
it with a man whose income is far
in excess of $4,000 a day? He ex-
pected to be called to Mexico, so he
made arrangements with railroad to
have a special train made up ready
for his use at a moments call. That
train was held at his bidding for
month. He paid for it all that time.
One of his missions to New York
was to improve relations between the
United States and South America. In
cidental to his visit he became vice
president of the Pan-American asso
citation. He expects the opening oi
the Panama canal will be of great ben
eft to his country, and he wants tc
do everything within his power tc
bring all South America into closer
touch with the United States To this
cause he is lending his influence, MS
support and his money.
