JOHN BROWN AT HOME
"reminiscences of AbOIitonst on His Adirondack Farm
Previous to Raid

BENJAMIN r. Brewster. a retired lum-
Der man OF Lake Placid. remembers John
Brown as no was fifty years ago on the
eva OF the Harpers Ferry raid. the semi
centennial OF which desperate adventure
falls upon October Is Mr.. Brewster's
memory OF the man and Of tho event that
30 moved the people OF this country half
q century ago IS the more lively because
the Harpers Ferry raid widowed his SIS
ter Martha, who had recently married
John Browns son oliver, a member OF
the little group who marched with old
Ossawatomie TO free the slaves and per
ished IN the attempt. says the New York
Sun.
Mr.. Brewster, hale and stocky and
looking nearly a ten years less than his
sixty-three. sat IN his comfortable house
overlooking the valley Of the wild little
stream that flows between his hill perch
and the Lake Placid railway station and
talked OF John Brown. his family, and
his companions. Few men now living
knew so many OF the Harpers Ferry raid
ars. for not only his brother-in-law fol-
lowed John Brown IN that adventure. but
80 ala two OF the neighboring Thompson
boys, whose sisters were married to two
OF Browns sons.
The strong. active boy OF thirteen went
70 live with the Browns on their high
rocky farm. still about the highest cult

namely. the winter OF 1859, when
Brown. after having been forced 20 post

his drillmaster, was again preparing for
IT, this time with greater secrecy than
ever.
Not in the Secret
--Of course" said Mr.. Brewster, II, as
a nero boy. was not taken into the secret,
but I remember John Brown and all his
family WELL for I went TO school with
the younger children before I became
member Of the family. The Browns had
been settled on the farm for good many
years and were known pretty well 10
their few neighbors. though nobody saw
much OF John Brown.
He came and went about his secret
business OF running Off slaves and pre-
pairing for his work in Kansas and for
the Harpers Ferry raid. 1 walked to
school with the Brown children. You can
almost see from here the little school
house down there IN the valley,
I'VE were poor, as almost everybody
else was up here, and as the Browns GER
tainly were. and I had TO work for board.
lodging, and q little wages. I lived IN
the family for two falls and winters, and
I never knew better or kinder people.
Mrs Brown was like mother TO me-
remember that she gave me the very first
money ever earned. When I had been
at the place little while she came 70 me
one day, saying that she'd been watching
and found that ala my work faithfully,
and then she put gold dollar into my
hand, the first coined gold I'd ever seen"
It is a curious fact that, vivid as was
the impression that John Brown made
upon those with whom he came in con-
tact there Is q difference Of recollection
as to the appearance OF the man. This is
.nRrtly owing to the fact that late in LIE

Mrs. Hartman was regarded by all
who knew her as an ideal wife. helping
her husband by saving his nervous
strength and sparing him all petty do
nestle Snnoyances. In the admlnlstra-
ton OF household and social affairs Il
has always been 10 the daughter Mary

Mary Hartman has been trained well
for her task. Hers has been essentially
an outdoor life. which accounts for her
perfect health, her clear eye, her fine
complexion. as well as her steady hand.
Not Slave 10 Society.
When the Harrimans entered the social
arena OF New York Mary Hartman won
through her very indifference 10 the
-Four Hundred" What she enjoyed in
the social whirl she selected and did
but she never became a slave TO its de-
mands She first attracted attention bv
her fine Workmanship. At Tuxedo n.
Hartman never failed TO capture a rib-
bon for her mount AT Southampton. Long
Island. where the Harrimans generally
spent their summers. she never failed to
carry of some honors in the riding and

ne changed his smooth-shaven face by
/ growing beard. but there IS even a DIFF
| ference OF tradition as to the height and
| figure OF the man.
CrayOn Portrait of Brown.
What did he look Hke?" said Mr..
Brewster IN answer to a question, and
then he crossed TO the wall OF his library
and showed an unusually well executed
crayon portrait OF Brown, with head and
bust considerably less than life size, but
extremely clear and characteristic.
The picture was copied from a photo
graph. which in turn may have been
taken from life or from the full-length
life size portrait IN oils which hangs IN
the Boston Athenaeum. II shows the
great, spade-like white beard and heavy
white mustache which John Brown grew
70 disguise his countenance when he de-
cided on postponing the Rarpers Ferry
raid to return TO Kansas after the Doyle
murders.
That" said Mr.. Brewster. "is exactly
the man as I remember him. I gave a
| better copy to be hung IN the capitol at
Albany. He was nearly six feet tall, but
spare. though broad-shouldered. AS 7 re-
call him. he was erect, and although then
ffty-nine years old. strong and active.
His sons were much like him in height
and shape. My brother-in-law, Oliver
Brown, was one OF the best made young
men 1 ever saw. John Brown never
stayed long at the farm when was
there. but I saw him often and heard
him speak in his everyday life with the
family. He seldom worked much about
the place. but remember working half
do
rough ground that had been cleared Of
timber.
Was n Hard Worker.
He was not like most bosses, or at
least not like those who boss public Jobs"
said Mr.. Brewster with a reminiscent
smile. evidently born OF his experience as
president Of the village, for he worked
along harder than everybody else. stop

and hardly speaking a word at any other
time. He seemed deep in thought
John Brown struck me- boy as wes.

up and talk to the family. His voice was
deep. clear. and pleasant One night I
remember he said very eolemnly to his
wife and children that although the times
seemed discouraging. they should know
that the darkest hour came before dawn,
the blacklist clouds often before clearing
weather"
Possibly this speech OF John Browns,
mere commonplace OF traditional human
wisdom, was apropos or the hard fortunes
OF the family or in prospect of the deliv-
erance he was expecting TO bear TO the
slaves. At any rate. In the summer after
Mr.. Brewster went 10 live with the
Browns the family was reduced in num-
bers by the departure OF several for the
mountain farm in Maryland. three or four
miles from the Virginia line and within
easy striking distance OF Harpers Ferry.
My sister Martha went with her hus-
band to keep house at the farm In Mary
