incline might be fatal to both rider

"Get Out II You Cam"
At Sal-si-puede ("get out II you
cam -there were many places to
which this name was applicable-we
had to dig or cut out a track along the
face of cliff where a slide had oc-
CURED, to make room for the pack ami
mails to pass. This was not only diff.
cult to do on account Of the steep de-
cline and precarious footing; but also
cause II the pack of a mule should
catch against the side of the cliff in
transit, the animal would be tipped
over into the River Espirito Santo a
thousand feet below.
From Sal-si-puede onward the mules
waded streams, foundered through
mud to their middles and labored over
fallen logs, often on a trail so narrow
and so Overgrown that 1t was neces-
sary constantly to use the machete to
clear the path of hanging vines and
dense underground. On one occasion
after eight hours of scrambling and
wading through mud and water, Mr..
Cherries mule slipped In deep pool
of thin mud and became tangled in the
roots at the bottom, pinning the foot
of the rider under it. Mr.. Cherrie was
held up there deep in the mud until
two mule drivers could return to extri-
cate him.
The advantage of having compact
units of baggage was made evident in
this locality. The jamming of baggage
tween saplings or in washed-out
gully would necessitate q halt and
while the load on the mule that had
caused the halt was being recinched,
dozen other mules would start ex-
ploring the neighboring thickets.
Sometimes the whole train would be
thrown into confusion and all the pack
animals would have to be rounded up
and the packs readjusted.
Animal and Bird Life.
There were no wild animals of a
kind to be feared by man along this
route. Along the banks of the Chapare
we found evidences of tapir, paca,
capybara, jaguar, tiger cat, peccary,
deer, coat, agouti and others, but the
high water, which varies sometimes
forty feet between seasons, had driven
game to the highlands, making hunt

spend several seasons to advantage in
these little-traversed routes across the
South American states. When the in
cidental mishaps and Inconvenience
are forgotten, the Bolivian Yungas be-
tween Todos Santos and the Chepare
may we'll be compared with other
natural wonders. Daily the vistas of
palm, fern and floral growth, with cas-
cades. waterfalls and freshets, make
delightful background for the album

At the beginning Of the Chapare the
Yungas disappeared and our arriero

remained above water except in two
instances. One night in particular the

"a HOME IN HEAVEN
BY r. II. LipscOmb.

It will not be long, ere laid in the
grave,
We will pass through the Valley Of
Death,
Guided by Jesus, saved through His
grace.
And forever in Heaven we shall rest,
1t is grand to know. having served
Him all through
Our trials and temptations down
here,
And when We get home He'll make us
anew,
We are done with all trials and fear
We will anchor our souls in the haven
of rest,
With Jesus always make our home; {;
There will be no more pain, sorrow
or death;
On earth we will never more roam.
Indeed, how precious it is to know
In Heaven our loved ones We'll
greet,
So cease not to serve Him wherever
we go;
Our Jesus I know we shall meet.
How grand it will be to kneel at His
feet,
And knowing our sins all forgiven,
And fondly He whispers, so kind and
so sweet,
Now this is your home here in
Heaven.

Oh death, the enemy OF all,
The thing we dread so much,
The fairest flower, the brightest life,
Must wither at thy touch.
We gaze upon our loved ones,
We tremble and we sigh,
Because we know. perhaps e'er long,
They'll fade away and die.
We would not wish to die in spring
When flowers are all around
And crocuses and daffodils
Are peeping from the ground.
But oh, we cannot choose our time,
Death issues his own call;
We must obey, the time is here.
IL comes to one and all.
In autumn then, the leaves will fall,
The winds sough Ger our heads,
'Tis not the season we would choose
To lie among the dead.
And yet we see death all around,
IL speaks in every blade,
We know decay is marked on all,
We blossom but to fade.
Then winters icy hand is felt,
We feel its cold, cold breath,
We shiyer as we turn aside,
IL speaks to us of death.
Tis then we stand apart you know,
We have no choice at all,
We simply wait the reaper's scythe
And then we surely fall.

P. AND R. RAISES WAGES
OF 1000 SECTION HANDS

The wages OF more than 900 section
hands ON various divisions were ralseo
voluntarily yesterday by the Philadel-
phia and Reading Railway Company.
The increase goes into effect at once.
The men have been receiving Is cents an
hour, and the company is now making
its rate 10 cents. The hours of the
men were not changed, ten hours still
constituting days work Nearly
$1,000 a month is added to the payroll
by the order.
1t was with surprise that the work
men received the news. There had been
no trouble whatever over the wage ques-
tion, the men apparently being content
ed as section hands can be on their
$3.50 a week. Responsibility for the
"raise' is entirely up to the company's
officers, and corresponding increases in
other sections are consequently looked
for.
