He can WELD golf stick as eXpertly
as he Yields his gun, Fishing is another
of his hobbies. So is swimming,
independence is one Of Mr.. Hep
burns outstanding traits. Whether in
politics or finance he refused to bow
the knee to anybody acting question
ably, He has always insisted on doing
his own thinking and travelling his own
road, His great learning, first as a
student and teacher and then as a
lawyer rendered him fit to form his own
conclusions and he has all along re-
served the right to do so.
Intense energy is another of his
characteristics. Few Americans have
burned more midnight oil in searching
for knowledge sometimes for knowl-
edges sake, more often to fit him to
grapple more effectively with practical
problems of social, political financial
and industrial life.
He believes in orderliness and prac-
tees it. He hates chaos and avoids it
his desk is always just so.
Mr., Hepburn has one son living,
Charles Fisher, whose mother died in
1881. In 1887 Mr. Hepburn married
Emily L. Eaton, of Montpelier, Vt, and
they have two daughters, Beuah
Eaton, wife Of Lieutenant Robert X. NJ.
Emmett, of the United States navy,
and Cordelia Susan. Because Of his
fondness for the country, Mr. Hepburn
maintains a residence at Ridgefeld,
Conn, in addition to his city home in
Fifty-seventh street, New York city.
Although past the SEVENTEEN mile
post, Barton Hepburn is as alert in
body and mind as he was quarter Of a
century ago. He attributes his Won
derful condition to love of nature.
"The outdoor life, " he recently wrote,
"sweetens all existence; it cutivates
the pure and wholesome in ones life
and aspirations; it lures from the man
made attractions, that pander to sem
sation, to God-made attractions, that
sustain the source Of being; in advanc-
ing years it enables one to eXcaim:
Though look old, yet | am strong
and lusty.
For in my youth never did apply
Hot and rebellious liquors in my
blood
Nor did not with unbashful forehead
WOO
The means of weakness and de-
bilitv.'"

An article of great interest to Middle
bury people appears in recent number
of Leslie's Weekly, 1t tells the story
of the career Of DR., A, Barton Hepburn,

country, copies having come to the

That was the frank admission made
by A. Barton Hepburn, usually described
simply as a banker. His career, how
ever has been one Of many-sided sue
cess. He has made his mark as an edu-
Gator, az a lawyer, as legislator, as a
government official, as an author and as
a big game hunter-of which last he is
perhaps most proud,

years ago, when Mr., Hepburn took hold
as president, had deposits of S27 900, 0O(

ENTERS POLITICAL LIMELIGHT.

Smythe was then perhaps the greatest
political power in Albany and he saw
to it that his young friend Hepburn
was placed on important committees,
thus giving him standing in the legis-
lature which ordinarily would have
taken years to attain. Governor Tilden
sent for him, complimented him on
his independence of mind and asked his
cooperation in carrying through re-
form measures which the governor was
championing. AS there was Demo-
cratic majority of only five in the as
sembly, every vote counted. Hepburn
was an ardent reformer and he pledged
his enthusiastic support.
Alas, the very next bill that the adj
ministration submitted called for a
commission of four members whose re-
form proceeding were to be conducted
in secret The measure was railroaded
through to its third reading in five
minutes.
Up jumped Hepburn and made a
rousing protest against the proposed
star chamber methods of the commits
sion. He Numbered against secret,
hole and-corner legislative doings, al
though not long before he had promised
the governor whole-hearted support.

There was great excitement the day
of the trial. The court was crowded
with parents, relatives, friends of the

case was called patriarchial-looking
