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 dier and his prominence as a political speaker caused him to be unanimous ly 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 foot at the head of his soldiers The 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:
 q appreciate the compliment you have given me, and I will communi- cate with you by letter in the course of 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 1t.
 The great gathering of the Grand Army took place. Governor Hartman was present, but did not speak. Said a friend to him some time later:
 Governor, you have national rep utation as an orator. The Grand Army has a high admiration for you. You had noble opportunity to speak be fore it. Why did you decline it?"
 For very simple reason" replied Governor Hartman. T 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 req son of the failure of single speech I could not afford to take that risk declined to speak before the c. A. R. simply because I wanted to keep un- impaired the reputation already have gained as an orator."

WHITEWASH BRUSH IN SPAIN
1t Is the Great LeveIer of Distinctions Between the Rich and Poor
 Color Denotes Class.

Ronda. Spain.-In Spain, where the ruins of Moorish towers are seen upon the crests of many hills as the "ex- press' train crawls along at the rate of .15 or 20 miles an hour, the evi- dences of surviving Moorish influence upon the people and customs of Anda- lusia make an interesting study. In the city of Ronda 1t is plain that the ideas of home building which the Arabs brought into the Iberian penin- sula remain vital today.
 The whitewash brush is the great leveler of distinctions between the rich and the poor in Spain. The exteriors of home, great manor houses upon the haciendas, huts of mountaineers cling ing to the sides of the almost perpen- dicular hills, handsome homes of rich merchants in the cities, and humble tenements, are nearly all of plaster. A few of them are kalsomined in blue or brown or pink, but the majority are pure white Ronda is a white city with a few patches of blue and pink, and looks as if the whitewash brush had just been applied.

FEELING STRENGTH OF UNION
Various Ways in Which Term "Co. operation" Can Be Applied and
 What 1t Means.

Applied to organizations, this term "cc-operatfon' which we so often use, frequently comes to have a limited meaning. Broadly speaking, to coop crate signifies to work together; but very often when Cooperative organ tzation" or Cooperative movement Is spoken of, only financial co-opera- ton is thought of that is, buying and selling in kind of partnership. This places restriction upon a word which admits of much more generous in- depreciation, writes Jennie Buell. in the Michigan Farmer.
 Suppose the original intent of the organization was to promote financial profits. Despite this possibility, in most cases, larger and more desirable objects still will result as they must result whenever men and women work together for worthy cause. Cooper ation for money profit, if entered into upon basis of obtaining justice for all, demands that the co-operators shall respect one another's rights and privileges. There soon develops a recognition of dependence upon one another. Respect for differences of opinion follow and the value of uniting forces on broader grounds than here tofore is soon approached Even when the incentive to combine efforts Is an entirely selfish motive, this very means may grow into a conviction tbat the cooperation of mind with mind Is something of more value than that of muscle with muscle, or dollar with dollar; and that ballot co-operat- ing with other ballots will achieve more than the loudest shoutings of one voice alone.
 After working together with others for common purpose 1t becomes ap- parent that to Cooperate" may mean buying and selling together, working together in the hayfield or in lodge room, in home or in community; 1t may mean mingling together for recreation, or even for thinking to- gether It means that when women get up sumptuous Grange feast, they cooperate" in doing so quite as much and as surely as do their husbands when they buy car of coal or sell stock together. In any and all of these lines of cooperation people feel the strength of union, of harmony, of effort, and the strong bond that comes with service in common Separate from others, our lives run to waste, but we were made to combine with others and to find scope for our pow CTS in administering to their well-be- ing"

Good Crops.

There is not one lazy bone in the farmer who cultivates three acres of land in order to obtain one bale of cotton. The lazy farmer will not do three times the necessary work to ob- tain one bale of cotton. He will not cultivate three acres in order to ob- tain4what he can easily obtain by cultivating one acre of good land. The lazy man will drain his land well, re- duce the washing to the minimum, rotate his crops, plant peas and other leguminous crops, save all the manure from large number of good stock and put it on his land, blow his land little deeper every time it is broken, turn under all the vegetable matter on the land, plant the best seed on we'll prepared land, and give the crop frequent and shallow cultivation.

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

One of the ablest of the members of the United States senate for 10 or 12 years after the close of the Civil war was Garrett Davis of Kentucky. lie was man of strong originality. He was very learned and a profound lawyer, but 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 and interject into his formal speech some very peppery remarks.
 It was one of the senator's peculi- arit1es that he never would speak un- 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. MT. Wilson, as private secretary of Senator Conkling and clerk of the 1atter'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.

Senator Was a Philosopher

only as a friend but as a benefactor. He never permitted any man to go away hungry. He always entertained miner or prospector, whether he saw the color of a mans money or not He was confident that every man would pay his score when he had money; and if he didn't it would be because he couldn't; and In that event the score was forgiven.
 Upon one occasion a prospector ask ed Tabor to grub stake him. The request was instantly granted. A short time later the prospector struck very rich deposits of silver, and Tabor be- came man of millions. He built an opera house in Denver, plunged into many activities, and at last had polit- icai aspirations, becoming lieutenant governor of his state Then there came vacancy from Colorado in the United States senate There was an interim of only month between the date when the vacancy began and the time when the legislatures would meet and elect a new senator Tabor and his mining friends prevailed with the governor, so that it was announced that the man who had changed his po- sitlon over night from a grocery store keeper to a capitalist of many mil lions was to serve for four weeks in the United States senate.
 Before Senator Tabor reached Wash ington to take his seat, there were published wonderful tales purporting to describe the outfit of clothing which he had provided for himself in his descent upon the capital There were vivid descriptions of an array of nfghtshirts of the finest linen, deco rated with real lace frills at the cuffs and at the neck
 | l was chatting with the sole repre- sentative from Colorado in the lower house of congress, James B. Belford, shortly after Tabor's term in the sen ate had expired, and 1 asked about the reports that had told of the ai- | legged personal eccentricities of Ia bor
 Well" replied Judge Belford. q odiu to 1dbOl o4S udy dDOT WDat is all this stuff that has been printed about you and real lace nightshirts? {? Where did 1t start? Is it true?'
 "'Jim,' he said in reply, won't say whether it is true or not, and you don't need to ask me that; but will tell you confidentially that I guess started the story myself You sec my friends are all among the miners and the prospectors. If I worked the red shirt and overall business in politics with them, they would all see right through it. They are no fools. They are all of them the kind of men who count on diamonds, fine raiment and | linen, and everything that's splendid, ] if they make money, and so I said to myself that if they heard I was not playing the cheap political game, but instead was willing to let the world know that had money and was spend ing some of it on myself, they would all say: That's the boy for me" The overall and unlaundered shirt business has been worked to death in politics. I don't think the lace nightshirt has hurt me a bit with the boys
 That was Tabor's philosophy" con cluded Judge Belford. land I wouldn't wonder if he was right in it"

Col. Walter Hartman, Noted Soldier and Campaiener, 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 to 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 a 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 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 ities 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 non-belligerents, especially the women and children, could be removed to a place of safety before firing began. Thereupon the Confederate officers de- cided to select some fifty federal off, cers and place them day and night in a most exposed position, and the com manding officer of the Union army was informed of that purpose.
 Among the fifty selected was Colonel Hartman. The shellfng 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 Harriman's fellow officers saw the slightest indication of timidity on his part. He was entirely composed, saying to his companions: This Is one 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 a political orator. He was

Pure Bred Males.

Many farmers make the serious mis- take of buying a cheap bull, boar, jack stallion or other male for breed ing purposes. There is no place on a farm for cheap pure bred scrub male. There are many pure bred scrub males as well as ordinary scrubs.
 Many farmers know the importance of good males, but start out to buy a obtained for little more money than a scrub The wise breeder thinks of the price last. He wants good ami mai He is more than willing to pay the price.@

UNDER A PULLMAN 29 HOURS
Carl Ruhno, Who Started on 5o-Mile Journey, Locked in Storage Box
 by Inspector.

Kansas City.-When the Golden State Limited to Chicago pulled into the Union depot recently, "HaP' Coop, CT, the Rock Island pilot, heard a knocking proceeding from one of the storage boxes underneath a Pullman car. He opened the box and was as tonished to see the body of a boy hud- died up inside, with a broken water bottle beside him.
 The boy, who appeared to about 16 years old, told the pilot that he had climbed into the box at Fl Paso Tex, and had intended to remain there for a ride of about fifty miles. At the next stop, however, a train inspector shot the bolts. fastening the lid of the box, and the boy remained prisoner twen.

Insect Pests.

Spring is here. Insect pests, so fatal to young chickens and so annoying to the older ones, are also here.
 It is much easier to prevent mites and lice than 1t is to eradicate them. All houses and coops should be kept very clean, the nests should be ire quently changed and a sharp lookout for mites and lice about the roosts and nests kept up. Apply kerosene to the roosts and about the nests occasion ally.
 It often requires a careful search to find lice on the youngsters or on the old birds. If you discover either lice of mites, give all the chickens a good dusting with some good insect powder.

tiers, and Arizona is, perhaps. the third state In line.
 There are several colonies of these people located in the extreme south ern part of Nevada. The accompany ing illustration shows a Mormon fam fly that is living here. On the extreme left of the group may be seen the pa triarchial lead of the family; then comes the three wives sandwiched be- tween offspring. The two younger looking men are older sons.
 These people live in very rude and primitive looking abode-in fact, a sort of rock-cave dwelling in front of which stands large brush shed sup ported by stout wooden posts. Yet, with all these rude and semi-squalid environments, this family seems con- tented and happy with their humble and lowly lot in life.

And now the blame Is laid on the city girl who goes into the country to teach school There is something so bright and dainty about her that the hearts of the older boys get all splin- tered up by the glint of her eyes and the music of her voice. Under her witchery those boys lose all interest in cattle and corn, and aspire to go to the city to clerk and sell lace, and be where the glittering maidens are.
 This is the hint of Chicago banker at meeting last week to encourage the farm boys to stick to the farm. The hint should be given to the city girl herself, who could let it be un- derstood that she liked the farm and the farm boys, and she intended some day to settle down and be farmers wife, and milk the COW and tie the calf, and scoop up the hens eggs and hew the country sausage, and feed the hollyocks, and do all those charm ing things that change tfN cheeks to roses and the voice to music.

Havoc Wrought by a Diamond.

A recent night inspection of a sta ton on the Minnesota division re- yealed the fact that the only waiting room was poorly lighted. Some of the kerosene lamps had no chimneys at all. One lamp was spruced up bit by having a mutilated half chimney that by comparison threw a respect able light.
 On inquiry the agent explained that the duty of taking care of the lamps fell to the baggageman, who recently bought a diamond ring which he wore on all occasions. Cleaning chimneys at this particular station is accom- plished by blowing into the globe and rubbing it until daylight is visible. The diamond in this instance wrought sad havoc with the chimneys, which were so badly etched by it that a slight heat knocked them into smithereens The Northwestern.

Woman Not Warmly Clad.

Doctors have recently testified with rather an unusual degree of unanim- ity, that women in these days do not dress warmly enough; that neuras- thenia is often the result of wearing clothing of insufficient thickness. It is not poverty, they say, but style, that causes the difficulty. Women cannot initiate the sylph-like maiden of the fashion plate and wear heavy under wear and thick dresses Fashion. with beautiful disregard to the changing seasons, demands gauzy stockings, low shoes, decollete gowns and short sleeves. The result is too often pneu- monia or an exhaustion of vitality and nerve force in the effort to keep warm. Success Magazine.

Horace A. w. Tabor's Own Explana ton of the Story That He Wore Nightshirts With Frils of
 Finest Lace.

The story of the beginning of the unique and sensational career of Sen ator Horace A. w. Tabor of Colorado is one of the most fascinating of the romances of American mining devel- opment. It was familiar story some 30 years ago, but the later excitement and romances of sudden wealth follow ing the discovery of gold or silver have caused it to be somewhat ob- scured. Tabor was rough and ready sort of fellow who kept a grocery store and sort of tavern in the vi cinity of what is now Leadville, Colo. The prospectors esteemed him not

MORMON HOME IN A CLIFF
Unique Dwelling Place of Family of Mormons in the State of
 Nevada.

Reno, Nevada.-The state of Utah does not, by any means, contain all of the people who are known as Mor- mons. AS time has flown, since the far-away days when Brigham Young first established the church at Salt Lake City, the Mormons have become more or less scattered. Especially is this the case in the Pacific coast states. Outside of Utah, perhaps Ida. ho contains more of the Latter Day Saints than any of the extreme west. ern states.
 Nevada comes next to Idaho in re- gard to the numbers of Mormon set
