in his last illness. 1t was why and
quick as a steel spring. He was
stopped, as are most men who think
much He was never a careful
dresser and was quite commonplace
IN appearance. But the idea that his
brain ate up his body is a mere flight
Of fancy. It might be said as truly
Of any man who is at the head of big
things in this day of gigantic under
takings.
Friend of Children.
Perhaps the only beings with whom
Edward H. Hartman the man ever
entirely unbent were children. In
New York he was the head of a great
boys institution, a sort of combined
gymnasium, club and debating society
for more than a quarter of a century.
At Arden he was never so happy as
when he had an automobile load OF
little ones and was spinning about
the countryside. To them he was not
the cold business machine known to
the world. He was Pop" Hartman,
their comrade and friend. Perhaps
he was so unreserved with the chill
dren because they did not ask him
leading questions and try to take
away his money. In the country he
was as God made him. In business
he was as Wall street made him.
There is a difference here, one that
will appear greater the more it is
contemplated.
Great Constructive Genius.
The best two things about Mr.. Har-
Fiman were that he was constructive
and had q national view Of things He
was not alone q stock manipulation,

have had any greater railroad build

and saw the business there was for
the line, coupled with the subse-
quent courage and energy he display
ed in pouring hundreds Of millions

road, showed a constructive genius of
the first order,
Harriman's national wisdom was
shown in manifold ways. Though
born near New York city and living
in or about it all his life, he did not
have the New York viewpoint. He
saw America from the angle of the
Pacific coast and of the central west,

Imagination to forecast the future of

pense. Buying and selling were at a
standstill. Everything depended upon
the health Of the little man coming
up the bay. If he should prove to
be on the road to recovery, up would
go Union Pacific, Central Pacific,
New York Central and other securi-
ties under his control. If he was
seen to be in a bad way. they would
tumble. Until one or the other was
definitely known there was nothing
doing.
His arrival satisfied the brokers
that the railroad king was far from
a well man. After his retreat to Ar
den the rumCr was noised about that
he intended virtually to retire. On
this mere breath his stocks were
hammered down, down till Union Pa
cific fell on 6 or Z points, Southern

ing tribute TO the mans power, a
testimonial to the estimate put upon

There was no sentiment in it. There
never is in these bull and bear raids.
They are as utterly merciless as an
earthquake or a cyclone. There is
not q heart beat in the whole high
finance body, however many there
may be in the individuals who COM

Arden they merely advertised that
they had been afraid OF the man and
showed what they would do when the
fear was even a little abated.
There are many popular misconcep-
tions concerning Hartman One is
that he was a man with an abnOr-
maIly large brain, which spread the
life from his understood body. Harri-
mans head was not large. It was
under rather than over the normal
size. 1t was quite well proportional
to his small stature. His body gave
the impression of slightness, 1t is

motor boat race, but to have every

can possibly be secured. Invitations
are to be sent out at once to yacht

as well as to owners of fast racing
