TRAVEL IN SAN SALVADOR
Crossing Rivers and Swamps Tourists
Often Get Free Baths


More than once, says John H. Weeks
in his book "Among the Primitive Ba-
kongo," | had on my San Salvador
journey strong krooboy a part of
whose duty it was to carry me over the
many streams and swamps that crossed
the path. His name was remarkable
one. l do not know how he came by
it, but the first time l met him | asked
him his name, and he replied in krooboy
English, "My name, massa, be Napo-
leon lBonaparte.
Sometimes Napoleon would have me
on his shoulders in the middle of a riv-
er, and feeling the rush of water
against his legs ne would begin to
quake and say: "Massa, no fit for
carry you. go let you fall
| would reply, Napoleon, fit for
give you one cupful of rice suppose you
no drop me.'
He would then take few more care
full PAGES, and feeling the swirl of wa
ter more strongly about his legs and
the stones slipping beneath his feet he
would nervously call out in his curious
English: "Massa, massa, I no fit /
bound for let you fall. -
Napoleon often received from me the
promise of two or three eupfuls of
rice to steady him before he landed me
high and dry upon the farther bank. At
times we were not so fortunate. Then
both of us went down into the water,
and we congratulated ourselves when it
was a stream and not nasty, muddy
swamp.

To Vote on Proposed Loan

Carlisle, Nov. 13.-Balancing the
rival claims of municipal improvements
with "safety first residents of New
vile all are at sea over the question
of adequate fire protection for the
town. At the last regular meeting of
the council, the sum of $4,000 was vot-
ed toward the purchase of an engine.
The remaining cost was to be raised
by public subscription.
The reason given was that it would
strain the credit of the town to give
more with the contemplated expendi-
ture for Big Spring avenue paving.
Citizens favor holding over the paving
and getting protection. A petition is
now being circulated asking for spe-
cial election of the submission of the
question of an $4,000 loan for the pur-
chase of fire engine, to the electors
for a vote. Both citizens and newspa-
pers are much interested in the mat
ter.
