MADE THE GOVERNOR WAIT

While he was telling that story to the conductor
OF the platform of the observation car, the
porter came in with message that the governor of
Sinaloa had come board and would be pleased
to see MIR. Hartman.
Hartman did not like the interruption He did
not say word but fixed the porter with stony
glare. That unhappy menial wilted under fire and
slid out of the door backward without another word
He reported:
~AIr Hartman, sub, he done tell story an he
amt through yit"
Then they sent Epes Randolph back to the OBJ
servation what he could do for diplomacy
and the era of international good feeling. Randolph
went back.
"Sit down, Randolph said Hartman, 'sand listen

The governor OF Sinaloa had to wait until the
story was told second time
HIS SENSE OF HUMoR
Hartman had beautiful place in Virginia where
he liked to spend his leisure spells before he ac-
qured the Klamath lake property on Pelican bay.
One day he was seated on the veranda looking over
the newspapers when lanky southerner clad in
long linen duster climbed the steps carrying milk
can in his hand Hartman looked him over and then
suggested mildly:
You should carry in the milk by the back door, >
The Virgnian Strengthened up haughty and
came back:
Il wish YOU to understand, sub, that I'm gen
tlean of Virginia and will be treated such, and
any gentleman who wants satisfaction of me can
get it by asking for it in the proper manner"
Hartman looked at him reaectively for an in
stant and then:
You're right, sir; you're right. Walk in the
front way and put the milk on the piano."
That could not have happened anywhere but in
America
Hartman was good American. He would
not wish for finer epitapf He was the
product of his age-a purely commercial age
