was said. had been adopted IN Fsris
when Galli-Marie's impersonatlon was
censored by the Prefect of Police and
the ddnse du rentrf was forbidden at
the exposition on the holidays OF the
school children. Happily Nine. CalVe
did not persist in her extreme course,
either because her own good taste ala
not commend it or because her ora
matte instincts, always on the alert
PROMPTED her to seek the charm with
which she infallibly at that time I'M,

and which had its highest exemplihca-

Lussan being specially engaged for the
titular role, only four performances
were found TO be practicable in the
substitution season. Then came the
season of 1886. the return OF GAVE
and the house was crowded Tor eleven
performances of the opera. The sue

era had seven representations. Inc
wear of no opera followed, and IN the
season OF 1s97-'9s. Calve, though an
nounced. did not come TO America be-
cause Of illness. Zeie de Lussan es-
saved the part again, with Mr.. Saleza

broucht Calve again. Was her Car
men that of the first season? Yes,
and no. Il was the same, with varla-
tions added 10 that infinite variety
which il seemed then that nothing could
stale. He would have been a rash man
who should have attempted to set down
r,o1e than the outlines of the gifted
woman's impersonation Of the gypsy Of
Meilhac and Halevy's play. Her uneon-
ventionality Of performance verged al,
wavs on whimsicalities; in a hundred
details il was the fruit of sudden in
sniration. That she lifted the physical
eiement in the character into promi-
nence was not TO be wondered at; that
sprang from the nature Of the case and
her own opulent bodily beauty. But
what was more admirable than her ap-
neal 10 the senses in her acting was the
manner in which she captivated the
;magination by her singing. That was
as completely unconventional as we're

Nine. Calve had effected he. entrance on
the American stage a month before IN
"Cavalleria Rusticana." She sang the
music marvellously and acted the part
better than anybody has acted 1t FOR
US exceDt Duse. But, singu!arly
enou1h. Mr.. Abbey was insensible lie to
her greatness. The Tribune's reviewer
met him in the corridor OF the opera
house after the performance and con-
graduated him on having found an ar
tist who was going to make his season
brilliant.
"Do YOU think so ?" was his reply;
az hone you are right. but | can't be-
lieve 1t. She was Grau's choice, not
mine"
This was really the case. Mr.. Abbey
had been responsible for the engage
ment of Nine. Melba, who was also
singing her first engagement in New
York. and all his ex cations were
centred in her. Abbey found IL easy
10 forgive Calves success in Carmen,
but the source of his later satisfaction
was mercenary rather than artistic.
Nelba retained his admiration TO the
end Nine. Calves impersonation did
not long retain all the features which
marked the first. Those who were

cy raised to a higher power by music
/ She could not have sung as she did II
she had not been able to act as she did
The two modes of expression were not
merely complementary of each other IN
her case-they were one in origin and
one in aim. She did not subordinate
nature TO art, but presented art vital
lied BIZ nature. And everything that
she did bore the stamp of individuality.
For any other singer to have attempted
the liberties which she INDUCED in and
the extravagances when the whim
seized her would have been fatal to her
performance. But in Nine. Calves case
even impertinent projections Of herself
into the dramatic creation worked
compelling charm. But not always.
| When Calye came to Mr.. Hammerstein's
establishment for two performances, IN
March, 1898, she had developed her
later idiosyncrasies 10 the extreme, and
lost so much of her older art that she
was enjoyable only in memory. Mean
while she had sung az the Metropoi itan

Two Of these artists call for some
thing more than a passing allusion. Y
is possible to imagine that Madame
Fremstad was deeply disappointed that
her impersonation failed TO revitaliZe
Bizet's opera at the Metropolitan Opera
House. She had brought her concep-
ton of the character with her from
Germsny-not the best place to acquire
a correct feeling for Latin art, as had
been demonstrated in the German
period of our opera; but she infused a
new spirit into the part. She did not
wear the buskins OF Lehman, which
had dwsrfed all the soldiers and bull
fighters and smugglers OF the drama

BEAsON SELLS AUTO BUSINESS

A deal that has been hanging FIRE
for q number of weeks was brought
to close the last of the week when
A. e. Beason sold his automobile
business to Peter Jensen who with
his sons will take possession the LIST
of next March. Mr.. Beason has been
one of the real live wires in Audi
bon's business circles Tor many years
and there will be hundreds OF people
who will regret to learn that he has
sold out. Mr.. Beason was very re-
luctant about disposing Of his ex-
tensive business, but he had personal
reasons for wishing to retire at this
time. We hope that the sale of his
business will not mean that he IL go
ing to leave Audubon.
The new owner, Mr.. Jensen is q
prosperous farmer who has two in
dustrious sons, and we welcome them
to our city and bespeak for them q
continuance of the business Mr.. Bea-
son enjoyed.

big pillow and turn under
everything left on the land
after the crops were gathered.
And do it now.
Of course, all this presup-
poses that your land is we'll
drained, for without thorough
drainage farming is a hazard
GUS venture.
Then there is the matter of
barn-yard manure, not an
ounce of which should be
without its compost heap into
which all sorts of waste, trash,
yard and stable sweepings
should be thrown to decompose
and add to the soil fertility.
Those who live near the woods
can find hundreds of tons of
leaves which hauled out to the
farm, spread over the land and
turned under will add en-
ormousiy to the fertility of the
soil, especially if used in con-
nection with 800 pounds of
acid PHOSPHATE to the acre.
Then there are the legumes;
cowpeas and soy beans for
summer crops and clovers and
etches for winter. What a
pity it is that ten thousand
farmers did not hear Professor
D. N. Barrow's intensely in
structive address on Winter
Cover Crops at the recent
Annual Convention of the
Southwest Louisiana Develop
ment Bureau at Crowley. To
the practical Southwest Louis
lana farmer that speech alone
would be worth several years
subscription to the support Of
the Bureau.

We hear a great deal OF
>difying talk and no little
piffle these days about the
conservation of our natural
resources. To the farmer there
are few more vital subjects
than the conservation of his
soil. That is his premier asset
and by proper treatment he
can not only conserve this
great asset but can increase its
potential value from year to
year.
How? First, by giving back
to the soil as much as possible
of that which has been pro-
duced upon it. In the rice
districts hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth of fertilizer is
burned up or sold for less
than its fertilizing value every
year. In the sugar cane fields
the leaves and tops of the cane
are destroyed each year,
thereby robbing the soil of
humus that would be of the
greatest value. In the cotton
and corn fields the same thing
is true---the land is put
through a process of puri6ca-
ton by fire, as it were; or, to
be more accurate, it is stertiliz-
ed by fire and ignorance.
The same thing to do is to
turn nnder deeply everything
remaining on the land in the
fall and let it decompose; in
that way supplying certain
amount of humus and giving
back to the soil a little of that
of which it was robbed by the
growing crops. Try it this
fall. Get heavy team and a

message is: Conserve your
soil. Improve it. Do it now.
IN his fascinating book,
Farmers of Forty Centuries,
the late Professor King relates
the infinite pains with which
the Chinese farmers save and
gather up every conceivable
waste article to put back upon
their soil. The result is seen
in the contrast between the
productive capacity of their
soil and that of our own. Four
thousand years of continuous
cultivation have increased to
a wonderful extent the soil of
China; a hundred years, fifty,
twenty-five sometimes, have
worn our soil out. And still
we are wont to apply to these
farmers the epitnet, 1.-THE
heather Chinese"
From an agricultural stand
point who appears to be the
heather? John Chinaman or
Henry Jones? and the reason
John Chinaman is ofar ahead
of us is because he wastes
nothing; he fertilizes contin-
ously.
