The Chautauqua management voted
last fall and announced to the public
that the Bible conference would here
after be held during the Chautauqua
program. This decision and an
nouncement was little premature
and without the consent of the execu-
tive committee of the Bible confer
ence. Because of this an effort has
been made to remove the Bible con-
ference to the jamestown park, and
tn citizens of other locations have
been talking about it.
The executive committee of the
bible conference, knowing the pur.
pose at which they are aiming, say
that their program could not be con

tauqua with satisfactory results. But
they were not ready to accept an in

After negotiations the Chautauaua
management has consented to rent

the admission to the grounds has been

to the expense of the conference,
which will not be light this year, as

Spurgeon from London and is paying
big prices for other noted talent.

ECCENTRIC HoGARTH.
Incidents In the Life of the Vain and
Able Artist,

s''S'SS'sS So siS OF the vain ara
Able Artist.
Hogarth, one of the ablest and GER
tainly one of the vainest artists that
England has produced, was as paint
er hardly recognized in his lifetime. to
his bitter grief and disappointment.
He made money out Of his prints, but
could only sell his pictures with diff
Guilty and at low prices.
Yet Whistler once declared that Ho-
garth was our greatest painter. He
painted some admirable portraits, but
his manner was too independent and
his tongue too sharp for success in a
profession that requires a certain
amount of diplomacy and much pa
thence.
He resented any criticism Of his
work, and there is a story Of very
ugly peer whom hespainted that illus
trates this. The portrait was returned
to the artist 1t was. in fact, too good
likeness.
But Hogarth declined to alter it in
the least and told his sitter that unless
the portrait was paid for in three days
he would add tail to the figure and
sell 1t to a wild beast Snowman to
hang outside one of his caravans. The
peer paid the money and instantly de-
stroyed the picture
More curious still Is a story Of Ho-
garth's absence of mind. When the
sale of his prints had made him pros
porous, he set up a carriage and one
day went in it to gisit the lord mayor.
| While he was In the Mansion House
the weather became stormy, and Ho-
garth, who happened to 60 out at a
different door, after yainly searching
for a hackney coach, walked home
through the rain and was soaked to
the skin. he had entirely forgotten his
carrtage.-Modern Society.

The Actors Breezy Story Of the Ways

A famous actor entertaining some

FIRST TRAIN
CROSSES GREAT TREsTLE OF N.
p. CUTOFF AT VALLEY CITY
WILL BE OPENED FOR TRAFFIC
MAY 20.

The big trestle on the Valley City
grade track Of the Northern Pacific
railroad was formally opened to traf-
fic this week, when F. w. Carver, di-
vision superintendent of the Fargo
division, crossed the structure in Mr..
Gilbert's private car. The other mem
bers of the party were Roadmasters
French and Wales and Engineer Nc
Kinnon. /.
Mr.. Gilbert's private car arrived in
Valley City on Ne. 5 in the morning
and a special train composed Of this
car, a refrigerator and a caboose,
pulled by engine No. 2344, and with
the officials aboard, crossed the new
structure at l1:40. Hundreds of peo-
pie from Valley City were occupying
points of vantage to watch the first
train pass over.
/. The trestle stood the test in fine
shape, and will be put into commits
sion in a short time. Some riveting
of the steel work has to be completed
have to be attended to before regular
freight service is established over it..
It is the intention of the officials to
open it to traffic on May 20.
The new structure is one of the
largest of it's kind in the country and
has been. under construction for two
years. It is $500 feet long with a
maximum height of 14S feet. Seven
thousand tons of steel were used in
it's construction, and while the cost
has been enormous, it is expected to
more than pay for itself within short
time by facilitating traffic. By Its
use the steep grades of the old track
will eb avoided and new time card
to cover traffic on the new track will
be out in a few days.

The Dark and Bloody Ground.

Before the white man began to ex-
plore Kentucky about the middle of
the eighteenth century, the region was
a vast hunting ground for many large
tribes Of the south, north and east,
md between these tribes there was
continuous conflict for the possession
,f the rich game privileges. Later on,
when the white people settled In the
territory, their struggle with the red
men was more bitter and persistent
than In almost any other section Of
the continent; hence the sanguinary
name that was given to the territory,

The Japanese Kudzu Vine.

We were 50 favorab1y impressed with
the GREAT POSSIBLE value Of the japanese
Knd7I, vine which was so fully de-
scribed in the February number Of the
Agriculturist, that we wrote to Prof.
Rolls, director of the Florida Expert
ment Station, for such information as
he might be able to give concerning
it, and received the following in reply:
The Kudzu vine, to which Mr.. Pleas
refers, is probably Pueraria Thunber-
giana In Bailey's Encyclopedia we find
the following discussion Of it:
"A hardy vine, remarkable for the
rapidity of its growth, and most useful
for covering arbors and verandas.
From well-established root, vines will
grow 4o-6o feet in a single season.
producing a profusion of very large
leaves. In the North the plant dies to
the ground in the winter, but in the
South the top becomes woody. The
large, heshy root assumes most curious
shapes, the main branches often being
as feet long. Georgeson writes Of
the plant in Japan: The roots are
heshy and yield starch of excellent
quality; the tough fiber of the inner
bark is manufactured into sort Of
cloth which combines fneness with re-
markable strength; ard in certain situa-
tons, the vine is unparalleled for orna-
ment and shade The flowers are
mostly borne on the woody stems, but
these stems usually do not persist
north of Philadelphia, and even rarely
there With age, the tops are more
likely to survive the winter. Propagat-
ed by division of the roots, or by seeds
when they can be had; also by cuttings
and layers"
We have had the vine (Pueraria
Thunbergiana) growing on the Expert
ment Station grounds on what was one
time a frst-class vegetable field. It has,
however, made Indifferent growth
While at DeFuniak, [ saw some Of

Get a Good Team and Keep It.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
I will try to comply with your re-
quest to contribute few lines for this
issue of your paper, but do you know
these same lines are harder for me
to manage than if they were attached
to a pair of runaway mules! l don't
mean to say that [ have ever had much
experience with runaway mules, for l
don't aim to keep that kind, and IT
should happen to get one with this
most disagreeable trait, I would change
its color as soon as possible.
Now, my friends, and more especially
my orange grove friends, this suggests
the thought that you cannot be too
careful what kind of team you put
to work in your grove, or about your
place. [ have seen runaway team
get scared in a grove and do great
amount of damage. Possibly a piece
of paper blew in front of them when
hitched to a wagon filled with grove
boxes of oranges; the team became
frightened and ran, and the fruit was
scattered the whole length of the grove
ruined I say ruined, because fruit,
after meeting with such mishap can
not be otherwise. 1t must have been
badly bruised and mashed, and in a
greatly damaged condition, even if
worth picking up. And if it so hap
pened that it was not actually spilled,
it would be SO badly Jared and bruised
that its value for shipment would be
very uncertain, and no reliable grower
would entertain the thought of shipping
it,
There are so many other oppor
tunities for an unsafe team to do
serious damage in a grove or on a
farm, not to mention the danger to
life and limb, that one cannot be too
particular in making a selection Get
a good, steady, reliable team and then
don't be selling or trading it without
good cause. 1t is bad habit at best
