daft and want 81 and So day for
room alone and poorly furnished at
that. The best proposition know Of
is the Inside Inn, mammoth hotel
inside the exposition grounds and run
by Statler, the famous Buffalo hotel
and restaurant man.. There rooms
are from $50 day, up, European
plan. This includes so cents day
for admission to the grounds. The
hotel is among the state buildings
where the trees Of the park will make
1t decidedly pleasant, and is but a
short distance from the main exposi-
ton buildings. The house will accom-
modate 5000 people, so there is no
chance of great solitude. e. c., Car
ruth, late of the Plaindealer, will be
one of the clerks at this hostelry.
y The best way to get here from North
Dakota is via the Minneapolis & st.
Louis road. which runs a night train
out Of the Twin Cities that is hard to
beat on any line. The buffet and
sleeping cars are models Of luxury and
you come along in a hurry, getting
here at l:40 p. m. It is the only line
that lands you at the exposition gate,
which is handy if you are in a hurry
to see the Pike and other attractions.
49, Magnificent Distances.
To give you an idea of the distances
in the exposition grounds: Yesterday
walked from the agriculture building
to the Inside Inn by the shortest
route. My pedometer showed it just
a mile. Returning I swung around
past the state buildings, through the
mines, education and transportation
buildings, past music hall, Jerusalem
the Boer camp to starting point-a
trifie over two miles for the return
trip, and never went near the liberia
arts, electricity, textiles, or machinery
buildings nor the Pike. Had I gone
by these another mile at least would
have been added to the return trip
The main exhibit buildings are abou
200 feet apart, so you see they mus
be immense. The Pike, or Midway
is over a mile long and about twt
blocks wide, and only includes abou
two-thirds of the amusement features
the balance Of them being scattered
through the park among the trees ant

B. F. Beard Tells Of His
Early Life in California.

b. f. Beard, of Hardinsburg, Ky,
is now prosperous banker and to-
bacco dealer, out his career has not
always been restricted to the peace
ful fields of Kentucky. In 1853 when
the gold fever held the country in its
relentless grasp, he went to California,
and joined the forty-niners, whose
intrepid encounters with the hard
ships of the West for the sake of the
California gold dust form an interest
ingcnapter In the country's history.
Mr. Beard said last night at the
Louisville Hotel:
There was plenty of gold In Cal
ifornia, when l went out there. Both
my former and my subsequent years
have been spent in Kentucky, but
l spent eleven years of my life away
from here, and do not begrudge the

CHAPTER XXX.

until st. Charles street need
ed but a RialtO and little Imagination
TO convert it into a watery highway of
another Venice, while, as for Canal
street, its name was as applicable as
though it were spanned by a Bridge Of
Signs.
Straws, editor and rhymester, was
seated on the semioriental semi
French gallery of the little cafe called
the Neranda slipping his absinth and
smoking a cheroot. Before him was
paper partly covered with well nigh
illegible versification and Il bottle of
ink, while a goose quill, tool of the
tuneful nine, was eXpectantly poised
in midair.
"Confound it, he said to himself.

plete this poem. Now to make my
mind blank, fitting receptacle to

The bard's figure swayed uncertain
ly on the stool. In the lively race
through a sonnet it was often of late a
matter Of doubt with Straws whether
Bacchus or Calliope would prevail at
the finish, and tonight the jocund god
had had a perceptible start.
