tn q long days journey, and negotiating
sales OF the same with shrewd sound bust
ness sense. Now and then some dealer in
and lover Of horses makes short trip out
10 Taber-W -WnIets farm on Long Island,
and stares with open-mouthed surprise at
the appearance of the proprietor tripping
down to meet him. The naturally pre-
conceived notion OF a tall, possibly booted
and probably heavily bearded horsey man
vanishes at the sight of a very small lady,
whose unusually bright brown eyes under
the visor OF a rough blue cloth Scotch cap,
beam with an amount of intelligent vi
vacity positively inspiring.
With q cheerful laugh she acknowledged
she is Mrs. Phoebe Tabcr-Willets, and
standing on the piazza OF her charming
old brick farm house, surveys as monarch
supreme about 400 acres of as valuable
farm land as there is on Long Island.
In addition the place is fitted with model
barns and a big dairy, is stocked with
pigs, COWS, chickens, pigeons, troop OF
handsome dogs and thirty odd valuable
horses, all under the management or this
one uuiet woman who made her beginnings
some fifteen years ago.
THE STEEP ROAD TO SUCCESS.
Hard work and long patience were the
chief investments Mrs. Taber-WIlets says
she made. In the days OF beginnings
every bit of detail work was under her
eyes laboring men she directed, the farmer
worked under her command, and the game
was not always easy or amusing. Often
on blizzard winter nights at 10 O'Clock
she went lantern in hand, 10 have look
at her COWS, and finding the stableman
very much the worse for the cup that
cheers, was obliged to be up again at i
the next morning 10 see that all went well.
She mapped out and directed the build
ing OF her harms and stables. the digging
of wells, making Of fences and keeping
up OF general farm repairs.
Her practice was 10 build stoutly and
well, but lavish no expense on snowy
luxuries No grass has ever been allowed
20 grow under the feet of this woman,
who managed the sales and purchases of
cattle. who was able TO ask $50 apiece
for her calves and so cents a pound for
her butter She even now keeps her own
accounts, attends TO all business cor
Tespondence, tends Zealously TO the COM
fort of the boys, keeps her house with
the assistance OF one maid, finds time TO
lavish a good deal OF attention on fine
dogs, ana takes a deep interest in her
pigs. flowers, chickens and an avtary
fun of canaries.
The only opposition and discourage
ments she ever met with were from The
feminine members of her family and
women friends. Men, she says. have
gladly elected her TO the Guernsey Club,
buy her cattle, admire her achievements,
and meet her fairly and respectfully in
al business matters, and ali the while
she never found it necessary to assume
the least masculinity OF air or manner.
When circumstances at intervals seemed
Go get tied up in hard knots she lubri-
bricated the difficulty with abundant
tears and cheered and comforted 10y this
