This was the real beginning of the political-financia alliance between Mir. Hartman and Mir. Odell that has had such momentous results in New York politics.
 Once again political influence saved Mir. Harriman's sensitive soul from an annoyance The city of New York wanted to establish an open air hos pital for it's consumptives. and site had been offered free not more than five miles from Harriman's house. That would never do. Odell was then governor. A law was promptly passed which enabled the blocking of hos pital in Orange county. but made it excessively difficult to establish one anywhere else in the state.

 New York has peculiar difficulties in repressing automobile speed madness. As the port of entry for most of the ex- pensive autos, it has the honor of being the trial ground for purchasers of ex- pensive foreign machines from all over the country. Trying them means al ways the one thing: Evading the police and hitting up, the pace to 40 or 50 miles an hour on some lonely road in the out skirts of the city. Racing autos which are so geared that they cannot be run steadily at less than 90 miles an hour are occasionally brought in to town, though not for regular use here. The only way chauffeur can pretend to obey the law is to turn on his power un- til the machine is started, then turn it of for half block, and repeat the proc ess, progressing by series of jerks. Most of the high speed chauffeurs arc foreigners, who do not understand Eng fish. They are uniformly charged by their employers to disregard the orders of the police. Not long ago the chauf- feur of a Vanderbilt was arrested for speeding. He was frantic. Let me go" he shouted. T am ordered to meet Mir Vanderbilt at ten o'clock. and all the police in New York shall not pre- vent me" As it happened. he was mis- taken. But the fine his employer paid next day was no deterrent.

It was a bright morning, warm, but fresh, and white clouds were floating across an intensely blue sky. The trees were putting forth their first leaves in many shades Of tender green, the grass was showing emerald along the rOadsides. and here and there amongst 1t were growing patches of spotted adder's tongue In the pine woods, near the roadside, the trailing arbutus mingled it's breath with that of the spruces and balsams, and the edges of the marshes were glowing with yellow marigolds. Above them. marsh hawk rose and fell in graceful curves, sometimes so low as to fan the still standing stalks of last years bull rushes; robins were calling across the meadows and purple fnches were sing ing. seemingly in half the trees along the roadsides.
 By and by arrived at the farmhouse I had set out to visit It was long low, white building. perched upon the crown of hill, and had row of old sugar naples in front of it.
 A rap on the door with the old black ened bronze knocker. brought out pleasant-faced woman whom I knew slightly. She told me that "Will'' had gone to Claremont for load of feed !" but that he would be back soon In the meantime would have some cider?

 The first things We saw were the sheep.

A defect appeared in the title and he paid at the office of the secretary of state to clear the title.

Many of the sheep were bleating. and al the kindly voice of 'Will' came running towards us. Amongst them was little black-faced lamb which had lost its mother: this was the first to attract the attention of he farmer.
 Whose little lamb are your" said he, stopping down and speaking in the gen. tlest voice imaginable.
 "Baa-a-a" said the lamb. confidently thrusting his smutty little nose into the mans big brown fist.
 Yes, I know" he replied. soothingly. q know who your mother is. and now we'll go and find her" And lifting the baby up in his arms, he stalked through the flock until he came to a big eve. standing unconcerned al some distance from the rest. and at once began chidina her as father might his child.

 Then we went into the big barn 10 see the Angora goats. also recently sheared. and kept for the present in wooden pens. In each pen there were one or two old goats. each with little snow-white kid. These kids are the most artificial animals know of: they look almost exactly like the woody lambs on wheels. which are found for sale in the top shops. WIT took half a dozen of them out of the pens. and carried them into the yard to be photographed. After photographing these little fel- lows ve took them back into the barn. ~will' lifted one of them into a pen with an old goat. and watched the pair carefully for a mo- meni The old goat snired al the young one. and the latter began to nurse.
