 The big man was not quite prepared to break the rule of silence established by his cOnfreres, and made no reply. The old man waited about as long as an impatient old man can be expected to wait, and made another attack

 The big man looked at She inquirer. but said nothing. Once more the old man returned, on a higher key:

 The second man had taken his que from the Minneapolis man. a-I made no reply.

There is no leee, but the waters have

an acre. Higher up the river on the
same side as New Orleans is approach
ed are miles after miles of truck gar
dens and small fruit farms blooming
and fresh and green from the water
drawn to them from the Mississippi
river. The method of irrigation is by
syphoping from the surface of the
river, which is higher than the land
on the other side of the levee. The
levee is from twelve to fifteen feet
high. At every little farm is a big
black iron pipe straddling the levee,
one end in ditch on the land. From
this ditch others lead to all parts of
the farm. Some of the little farms
have several syphons over the levee.
The land, because of its contiguity 10

SIGNIFICANT NEWPORT BALL.

The beautiful coming out ball given
for young Alfred Vanderbilt the other
night at the Breakers, the palatial res
idence of Cornelius Vanderbilt in New
port, is said to be very significant. 1t
is believed this function furnished the
assurance positive that no reconcilla-
tion is to take place between Mr.. Van
derbilt and his oldest living son, Cor
nelius, Jr., and that young Alfred is
to be the acknowledged head of the
family for his generation. 1t is now
two years and month since a shock
of paralysis laid Mr. Vanderbilt low
The coincidence of the attack, with the
expression of the final determination
of Cornelius, Jr., TO marry Miss Grace
Wilson against his fathers desire did
not escape comment. The marriage
was postponed until August on account
of Mr.. Vanderbilts illness, and, al
though in the few weeks preceding the
wedding, Cornelius, Jr., was faithfully
in attendance at his fathers bedside,
the two men have since remained es-
tranged. Friends of the young couple
hoped that the baby which came in the
| spring would prove an efficient peace
/ make. but they were disappointed.
