HIS Interview With Jay Gould.
When Jim Hill, rank outsider"
in the railroad game, was building the
Great Northern he ran UP against the
hostile influence of Jay Gould, then in
control Of the Union Pacific. Gould's
influence at Washington was keeping
Hills road out of government land in
the northwest. Ordinarily quiet
man, Hill was a tiger when angry. I'm
one of these RACES" writes Paul
Latzke in the April Everybody's, "Hill
started for New York to interview and
reason with Gould. That gentleman,
jumping carelessly to the conclusion
that the man from the northwest had
come to capitulate, admitted him joy

one witness to this interview, and as he
told me the story, it is absolutely unfit
to print until after the tenth or
twelfth minute. BY that time the en-

great Wizard of Wall street to limp,

Shrubs for a Succession of Bloom.
The Importance of obtaining a success
sion of bloom in a shrubbery planting
scheme has been pointed out. In select
ing the varieties to produce this, there
is room for large variance Of choice;
tastes will vary, the climate, soil and
the care given the plants should be
considered. But the following list of
twelve shrubs will be found to give
good results with little care:
/, Forsythia, or golden bell; 2, cydonia
Japonica or Japan ounce; 5, viburnum
opulis steralis, or SNOWFALL; 4, sp1raea
Van Houttii, or white spiraea; 8, loni-
cera tatarica, or upright honeysuckle;
6, weigela rosea or rose colored weigel1a;
z, philade1phus, or mock orange; 8,
syringa or lilac; 9, spiraea callosa or
pink spiraea; 10, spiraea Antony water
er or dwarf spiraea; IL, hibiscus syriacus
or althea; IL, hydrangea paniculata
Other shrubs which are worthy of
planting in the springtime are Hercules
club, botanically known as aralta
spinosa; the purple and the green leav-
ed barberry; several varieties of the
dogwood, and the Towering locust.
