is one of the most fascinating of the
romances of American mining devel-
opment 1t was familiar story some
80 years ago, but the later excitement

He never permitted any man to go

dren of 1852 to appease their homesick
cravings when apples were dollar a
pound. 1t was made by breaking four
soda crackers into an earthen bowl
and pouring over them pint of cold
water rendered very tart by citric
acid. When soft the crackers were
laid on pie plate on the under crust,
Over them were sifted two tablespoon
fuls of light brown sugar and a little
allspice and cinnamon. A pretty per-
forated top crust was added and in
few minutes perfect apple pie was
taken from the oven to delight young
and old.

Personal Encounter Narrowly Averted
When Ben Buffers Presence En-
ragged Garrett Davis, the lrrit-
able Kentucky Senator.

One of the at,fest of the members
Sf the United states senate for 10 or
u years after the close of the Civil
war was Garrett Davis of Kentucky.
he was man Of strong originality.
He was very learned and profound
lawyer, bat he was also irascible, al
though when approached in the right
way he was one of the most kindly
and considerate of men.
Senator Davis never failed having
hearers, both upon the floor of the
senate and in the galleries, when 1t
was announced that he was to speak.
Sometimes there was suspicion that
some of those who visited the senate
chamber did so in the expectation that
Mr.. Davis would yield to irritation
and interject into his formal speech
some very peppery remarks
1t was one of the senator's peculi-
arities that he never would speak I'M
less his surroundings were entirely
congenial. Sometimes a misplaced
chair annoyed him. Frequently he
turned and cast upon the lobby at the
rear OF the senate fierce and angry
glances, so that he might thereby put
an end to conversation that was dis
turbing him.
Senator Davis was announced to
make an important speech at the ses-
sion OF congress for the year 1872.
Among those who heard him at that
time was John W. Wilson, then clerk
Of the commerce. committee of the
senate of which Roscoe Conkling was
the chairman. Mr.. Wilson, as private
secretary OF Senator Conkling and
clerk of the latter's committee, met
with many very interesting and some
times dramatic experiences. But the
one which he remembers as vividly
as any relates to the speech in ques-
ton by Senator Davis.
II had just taken my place in the
reporters gallery of the senate" said
Mr.. Wilson, ito which / had access,
when saw Ben Butler, then a mem
Der of the house, enter the senate
chamber. He looked around the body
with that peculiar twist of the head
so characteristic of him, and then,
with his queer little mincing step
went to the Democratic side, took q
seat directly behind Senator Davis
and instantly became much interested
in Senator Davis speech, paying him
the courtesy of very close attention.
Suddenly Senator Davis, who was
a little man, turned around as though
10 address some of the senators in the
seats behind him, and discovered Ben
Butler sitting almost within arms
reach of him. Butler looked up at
the senator, and there may have been
something in Buffers manner, or pos
sibIy some recollection of Buffers
career in the Civil war, which brought

Saved Fame By Not Speaking

very SLENDER tall and thin featured
but his voice was clear and ringing
his gestures graceful, and he was in
great demand by Republicans all over
the United States when campaigning
was in progress. His record as a sol
der and his prominence as a political
speaker caused him to be unanimous
fy nominated for governor of New
Hampshire and he was elected by a
great plurality in the late sixties.
In 1875 there was to be a great
meeting OF the Grand Army Of the Re
public at Boston. The expectation was
that General Grant would attend, and
Phil" Sheridan had promised to be
there without fail and to march on
committee of arrangements asked Gov
ernor Hartman to deliver the chief
address of this occasion. He held
that to be about the most distin-
guished honor that had come to him.
He said to the committee:
81 appreciate the compliment you
have given me, and I will communi-
cate with you by letter in the course
Of a few days"
But when the committee had re-
ceived the letter and read it they
found that Governor Hartman had
declined. They were amazed and dis
appointed. But he persisted in hold
ing to it.
The great gathering Of the Grand
Army took place. Governor Hartman
was present, but did not speak. Said
friend to him some time later:
Governor, you have a national rep
utation as an orator The Grand Army
has a high admiration for you. You
had a noble opportunity to speak be-
fore it. Why did you decline it?"
For a very simple reason" replied
Governor Hartman. 81 have learned
by my reading and by my experience
that 1t takes about twenty years to
make a reputation, and that the next
twenty years are occupied in maintain
ing it. An orator has a peculiar repu-
tation. He is liable to lose it by rea-
son of the failure Of a single speech.

Col. Walter Hartman, Noted Soldier
and Canpaigner, Feared One
Speech Would Destroy Rep
utation and Declined.

when an orator has gained a great
reputation he should stop speaking, .
James A. Garfield, himself no mean
orator, once said tc a friend. And
this is an anecdote of another famous
orator who agreed fully with Garfield.
One of the fighters of the Union
army who gained distinction for his
bravery was Walter Hartman, colonel
of a New Hampshire regiment. He
was wounded several times, and was
once taken prisoner. He was sent to
Charleston, S. c., where he found
large company of Union officers. A
few days after Colonel Harriman's ar
rival at Charleston it became known
that the Union forces had established
a battery with one great gun, called
the Swamp Angel" upon an island
in the harbor about four miles distant
from the city, the Confederate author
tiles in Charleston having been in
formed by the Union commander that
it was his intention to shell the city
This warning was given in order that

place of safety before firing began
Thereupon the Confederate officers de-
cided to select some fifty federal Off
GERS and place them day and night in
a most exposed position, and the com
handing officer of the Union army
was informed OF that purpose.
Among the fifty selected was Colonel
Hartman. The Smelling of the city
began. but it caused comparatively lit
tie damage and did no harm to any
of the Union officers, although Colonel
Hartman afterwards declared his en-
forced exposure to the fire OF the great
guns caused far greater apprehension
than any that he had experienced
while in battle. However, none OF
Colonel Haxriman's fellow officers saw
the slightest indication of tin1idity on
his part. He was entirely composed,
saving to his companions: This is
oue of the chances of war"
At the close Of the Civil war Colonel
Hartman returned to New Hamp-
shire. He speedily gained great repu
tation as q political orator. He was

Unreported Senate Incident

out all of the latent irritation that
was in Senator Davis. At any rate, he
stopped speaking and glared fiercely
at poor Butler, who evidently did not
know why Davis had become thus
angry. In fact, 1t looked for a mo-
ment as though Davis, who had lost
control of himself almost completely
was about to go to Butler and attempt
to eject him from that seat.
Instantly the tension in the senate
was intense. Still, Butler did not real
ize that he was the cause Of the
trouble; but he returned the fierce
glance of Garrett Davis as though
saying: If you can look ugly, so
can L.
Just as Senator Davis seemed
about to advance upon Butler one Of
the senators upon the Republican
side, Henry Wilson of Massachusetts,
stepped hastily to Butler and whis-
pered to him Then holding Butler gent
ly by the sleeve of his coat Mr.. VIII
son drew him from the Democratic
seat and escorted him to the Repub-
lican side of the chamber. AS Butler
was crossing the center of the aisle,
he turned and looked at Davis, who
was almost beside himself with anger.
When Butler was seatt 1 in the chair
of one of the Republican senators, he
calmly turned around and looked
again at Senator Davis.
Davis was completely mastered by
his irritation. Still glaring at Ben
Butler, he abruptly terminated his
speech and took his seat. Nor did he
seem to be himself again until But
