for his railroads. A few years ago he
took a trip by automobile through the
smaller cities of Europe. on his return
he told his associates that the automobile
had suggested to him only railroad ideas.
During the whole trip he was thinking con-
stantly of the adaptability Of automobile
motors and running gear to railroads. The
first thing he did on his return was to
order seven types Of se~lf-propelled cars
built for experimenting on his lines. That
vacation was one OF the busiest periods
of his life.
'Wha impels your enthusiasm for rail-
roads? Is it love OF money! he was
asked.
No. not at all; Il is the economies Of
the study that is interesting. II is simply
the spirit which drives the man to under
take a proposition and bring II 10 a sue
cessful conclusion, That IL the secret Of
anything In life. l could not give up the
struggle II / wished to-"
on another occasion he replied petulantly
to a similar question:

I'd give IL all up tomorrow II / could"

Mr.. Hartman had a sense OF humor as
well as supreme confidence in himself
Once a newspaper that had made some
bitter editorial attacks on the railroader's
methods sent a reporter TO ask him who.
In his opinion, were the greatest two
railroad men in the world.
I'm one" he flashed black, and the
other, in his own estimation, is the editor
Of your paper"
Just before the big drop in stocks two
years ago, a friend who had Just returned
from Europe dropped into Mr.. Harriman's
office to see him. The conversation turned
on the market, and the friend said that
he thought he would buy some stocks
Hartman swung around In his chair To-
cussed his heavy glasses upon the others
face and said, quizzically:
Have you any money!
Yes" said the friend.
How much?" said Mr.. Hartman. The
friend told him. Hartman was silent for
a moment. the he turned and looked
across the street toward Trinity cemetery.

talent may not have been the fool he has
always been credited with being. There

hid his talent.
Mr.. Hartman was once asked what he
thought was worth while in this world
for a man do do. His reply was:
My idea is that a man should try to
make his children better, give them larger
opportunities, do what he can to make
the next generation a little better off than

On one occasion Weston, the elderly pc
destrian, had started for an over-contl-

some treak-loving editor TO canvass the
successful business men OF the country
who had passed the prime Of life and ask
them II they thought they could accom-
plish such a journey as the one weston
had set out upon. A reporter reached Mr.
Hartman and prOpounded the question 20

GOOD TO BIRDS.
Farmers i'm Eastern Washington Have
Fed Them Literally.

Farmers and sportsmen in Yakima
county and parts of the Inland En-
pire are doing excellent missionary
work in putting out grain to feed
quail and other game and song birds,
deprived of their food by the recent
fall of snow. Thousands of birds
were Matched last year and without
food, if only for few days until the
chinook winds clear the blanket of
snow, hundreds of them might die.
A. F. Wiesemann. secretary of the
Spokane Rod & Gun club, has been
active in interesting ranchers and
others in this work, which is being
taken up generally throughout the
district. Bundles of wheat straw
straw have been placed on quail
tracks and near fences, brush and at
the edges of timber, where the birds
gather, and thus food was provided
to save the lives of thousands of in
sect killers. The snow is from five to
eight inches deep in the vicinity of
Spokane and is the heaviest in years.
