But Smith didn't get dis couraged. Smith never gives up. He call ed upon a contractor, sod said, '-How much will you charge me to put down a well en such a lease!" After a little figuring tbe contractor replied. '-Thirty-five hundred dollars." Tbe time of payments was or- ranged, and tbe contraolor directed to com meocework tbe next day. Smltb then went out te oertain capitalists and said, 'I have a lease on such and such farm. I waul to sell a quarter. What will you glvs for it?" After two or three days delay they offered him $1,600 a low price and the offer was accepted. At Diet everything went along all right. Smith made bis first payments promptly, and was considered a model operator. After a while, however, bis money became exhausted, and the men anxious for their pay. Smith was ready for tba emergency. His wife was suddenly taken sick, and be was away two or three weeks. Then be bad heavy dralts to meet, aod be was a little short, but would be all rigbtiu a few days.
