Horatio Seymour, governor of New York state In 1862 and again in 1862, and Democratic candidate for presl- lent in 1868, when he received only 10 electoral votes to 214 for General Grant, was a far more adroit politician than a great many of his contempora- Iries suspected. I know of no better evidence, of his political tact and skill than is revealed in an incident that was connected with his candidacy for governor in 1862. For nearly a quarter of a century it ad been Governor Seymour'? practise o open bis campaigns with a peach which he had written out very arefully and, with equal care, com- itted to memory. As soon as he had ecured the Democratic nomination in 862, he set about preparing the ipeech that would sound the keynote f the campaign. He realized that he 'aced a very delicate situation. It [was the second year of the Civil war. [The state's great war governor, E. D. [Morgan, was going to Washington as |a senator. It seemed vital that Mr. {Lincoln should bo supported by his [party in New York state, and Mr. Sey mour was not a member of that party, n the other hand, in his campaigns 5 had always been able to gain the upport of a considerable number of epubllcans. and one of the delicate imatters he now had to face was how, ttn his speech, he could give no offense /to either the war Democrats or those [who were not in sympathy with the tUnion cause, and at the same time ot estrange his largo personal Repub- Ican following, eager, of course, for [the war's prosecution. In all his active political career, [which stretched over a period of more [than a generation, Horatio Seymour [never worked harder than he did over (the speech with which he planned to topen the gubernatorial campaign of ilS62. He wrote and rewrote, then ithrow everything away and began all lover again, revision followed revision, And at lost, in this laborious manner. Be produced a manuscript that, it eecm ed. to him, would do the trick. Yet, he was not quite sure, and while the doubt was upon him he determin ed on a bold move—he would take hie speech and confer over It with none other than one of his keenest political opponents—Ellis H. Roberts, editor, In Utica, of the leading Republican or gan of Central New York. For years Mr. Roberts, who, after wards, was treasurer of the United States under Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt, and Horatio Seymour had been personal friends. It was nothing unusual for the two men to be seen in each other’s company; and Mr. Roberts was not at all astonished when Mr. Seymour entered his office. But what was Mr. Robert’s frame of mind when Mr. Seymour divulged the nature of his visit can be easily Imag ined, for Mr. Roberts was plainly ask ed to read the speech and suggest any revisions that occurred to him that especially would prevent Republicans with Seymour leanings from desert ing their old favorite in this his latest hour of need. For two or three hours the two men were in confidential conference, and before them was spread the manu script of the Seymour speech. Jost what suggestions Mr. Robterts made regarding that speech cannot be said; It Is known, however, that on his ad vice, certain paragraphs were struck out altogether, while other portions of the speeph were considerably re vised; and after Governor Seymour , butU r and yolks. Then beat had delivered the speech, following Its.; the who]<s lnto the flour and cneam of revision by Mr. Roberts, it was found Recipe for Yellow Loaf Said to Have Come From Family of Washington. --------- An old colonial recipe for yellow loaf cake, said to come originally from the family of George W ashing ton, calls for one cupful of butter, two and a half cupfuls of granulated sugar, six eggs, a cupful of cream or rich milk, one even teaspoonful of soda, two of cream of tartar, four cupfpla of pastry flour and one cup ful of seeded raisins. Cream the but ter and sugar, then stir in the yolks of the eggs. Add the cream of tartar to the flour and sift them together several times. Add the soda to the milk and stir the mixture Into the that he had handled with great skill, as a Democrat, the questions arising out of the Civil war, so as to offend none of the three bodies of voters he had perforce to bear in mind. And what’s more, it was a triumph that ultimately led to his election. Years later, Governor Seymour found the way to repay his debt to Mr. Roberts. A firm of publishers bent on issuing a history of the states, with a volume to a state, asl&d the governor to write the volume on New York state. He declined on the ground thaat his years were too many, and recommended Ellis H. Roberts as the one man who could do the subject full justice. And his recommendation of Mr. Roberts was eo hearty and sincere that the publishers engaged the latter for the task. (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edw a rds. All R ights R e s e r v e d .) tartar.

TURPENTINE MOST USEFUL Sorts of Ways in Which Be Used About the House. Can Relic of Old Say brook Colony How Railroad Builders Found Tress of Brown Hair, All That Was Left of the Beautiful and Ten der Lady Brooke. For tho student of things colonial, the little town of Saybrook, which lies near the mouth of the Connecticut river, holds a peculiar charm. For one thing, It was founded as an Independ ent colony in 1639, to be ceded six years later to the colony of Connecti cut in return to its promoters for the proceeds from certain taxes for a pe riod of ten years. For another thing, Saybrook was the original home of Yale college. Then, too, it was to help found Saybrook that Oliver Cromwell planned to leave England for the new world, only to be detained at/hom e at the last minute. But to me tho most interesting story I have ever heard of Saybrook relates to Lady Version of Civil War Incident (General Buckner’s Account of General Grant’s Generous Offer of Money i to Him After Fort Donelson Had Surrendered. , In his personal memoirs General (Grant refers briefly to the fact that [after Fort Donelson had surrendered «o him he offered to share his pocket- pook with his defeated foe, Gen. Simon [Bolivar Buckner. At a time when ho was north on a lecturing tour, the late [Gen. John B. Gordon, who commanded (one wing of Lee’s army at Appomat- ftox, described to me in greater de- ftall this Incident, Just as he had re- “ kcetved the story from tho lips of Gen- feral Buckner himself. \General Buckner,” said the distin guished Georgian, \was a little an noyed at the very peremptory commu nication sent to him by General Grant, in which the latter demanded uncon ditional surrender. Ho realized that Grant had him hemmed In and at his (mercy, yet Buckner looked upon the (terms as harsh, and the manner in [which the terms were expressed as harsher still. But the irritation was (only temporary. Following the sur render, as Buckner was approaching /Grant's headquarl-'s, the latter saw .. [him first and wen, out and met him Snore than half way. That was enough - [for Buckner. It told him that his old lechoolmate at West Point was still 'his personal friend, though his mili- itary enemy. Straightway his heart [was softened toward his conqueror, and, dropping all formality, the two conversed as of old. “For quite a little while, General (Buckner told me, he and Grant recall- ,^d old times and old friends. Then fGrant quietly drew Buckner aside, so that there would be no listener or (witness to what might follow. “ ‘General,’ said Grant, ‘you have (been shut up hero for some time; you couldn't have been very liberally sup plied with money; you must be in need of some funds for personal ex penses.' Here Grant thrust a hand fcito a pocket, drew out his wallet and bpened it. ‘I am not very plentifully hmpplied with funds myself,’ he added, •but’, I shall be very glad to have you phare with me what I have.’ And he extended the opened wallet towards bis enemy. “Buckner was so touched by this unexpected courtesy and act of deli cate consideration that for a moment or two he did not reply, because he could not, and he had to turn his head away to hide his feelings. But,, e t last, having conquered the lump in fells throat, he confessed to Grant that he hadn’t a cent and that he would be (very glad to avail himself of his old ■choolmate’s offer. So he took from the wallet what he thought would be kufflclpnt to meet hie neeas for the [Une being, and from that day until l;V; y,. ‘ ' !■ ■ ■ General Grant's death there was no more devoted admirer of Grant than Simon Bolivar Buckner.” Some time after hearing this story from General Gordon, I repeated it to Gen. Frederick D. Grant. \Yes said the son of the great gen eral, “General Gordon’s account of the incident is substantially correct. I know that the warmest friendship was then established between General Buckner and my father. You may re member that General Buckner came from his home in Kentucky to New York expressly to attend my father’s funeral, that he might pay his last re spects to his conqueror. But such lit tle courtesies and kindnesses as that you speak of were constantly shown to one another by the generals who were engaged on opposite sides in the Civil war. At Apomattox, when father first met General \Lee to draw up the terms of surrender, they chat ted for some little time about experi ences in war and old friends. It was then that father said to Lee that. Brooke, a daughter of one of the two titled Englishmen who backed the founding of the colony. It was told to me in the summer of 1878, when the little town was holding a celebra tion commemorating its founding; and my Informant was the late Thomas C. Acton, who became fa mous during the Civil war as the New York chief of police who put down the draft riots; who for years after the war was an assistant treasurer of the United -Statfes, and who was born in Saybnk/k and maintained a country home there the greater part of his maturity. “Lady Brooke, I believe, was tho first woman of the English nobility to come with a group of colonists to this part of New England,” said Mr. Acton, “and, alas, it was a sad day for her when she set sail from old England. She had been brought up In luxury, she had been sheltered from the storm and stress of the world. The min- uto she came In contact with the new world she was placed face to face with a rough and strange mode of life. She was too tender of body and of spirit to accustom herself to the new conditions; she was among the first of the little band to fall a vic tim to the various Illnesses that soon broke out among It, and not long there after she was laid at rest In the lit tle cemetery that was almost coinci dent with the founding of tho colony Itself. “So much by way of preface. Now, some years ago there was organized a company to build a railroad from Hart ford, the state capital, to Saybrook Point, just below the town, where the Connecticut empties into long Island sound. One day a surveying corps ar rived in Saybrook, and after It had fin ished its work we discovered that the line of the road had been laid directly through the long unused colonial cem etery, and, what was more startling still. Immediately over the grave that had come down to us as that of the last resting place of the beautiful and gentle Lady Brooke. \Immediately there spread through the town a feeling that It would be a sacrilege for railroad trains to run Turpentine can be used in all sorts of ways.

THERE ARE OTHERS. A Straining Bag. A flannel straining bag is a neces sity in any kitchen where jellies are prepared. Instead of in vest leg in an expensive strainer, an excellent sub stitute may be made of ordinary flan nel, which should first of all be hemmed neatly and then soaked and wrung out in boiling water. When it is used, it should be laid in side a large bowl and the fruit or liquid jelly poured into It. Tho four ends of the flannel should then be tied together and a stick passed through the knots. The bag can then be suspended over a bowl by means of a couple of chains and left to drain slowly until all the liquid has passed through. A blanket should be thrown over the top in cold weather, so as to prevent the jelly from setting too soon. A*!'\ 'linin' 'in 1 'j 4^1 Green—Does he figure much In poli tics?

And it pleased father greatly to have General Lee say instantly in reply: “ ‘Oh, yes, General Grant, I remem ber you \mry well.' ” (C o p y rightsJO in, by E. J. E d w a r d s . AJJ R igh t s R e served.) while ho presumed General Lee would over the grave of Lady Brooke, so it was decided to open the grave, and, if there remained aught of relics of the titled colonist, to collect and reinter them, and place over their new resting place a suitable monument. \T h n t was the plan, though really none 6t us had any strong belief that wo would be called upon to conduct a reburial. For considerably more than 200 years Lady Brooke had Been dead, and sure ly, in that time, m ust have returned to dust completely. “Yet the grave was opened and rev erently the soil was upturned. At coffin depth there appeared absolutely nothing that could be identified, even in the faintset manner, as belonging to coffin, shroud or body. We were turning to go when, suddenly, a slight discoloration of the soil was discov ered. With great care we had the workmen remove the soil. Then we examined It—and what do you suppose we discovered? A beautiful brown tress, In as perfect condition as though It had been placed In that spot the day before. It was all that was left of the beautiful and tender Lady Brooke. “There was not a man there who was not deeply stirred as he stood in the presence of that imperishable relic. Tenderly we placed It In a suit able receptacle and directed that it be depqplted permanently In Hartford. And I have never ceased to have a deep sense of satisfaction in the thought that I was among the number who kept that beautiful tress that once crowned Lady Brooke’s head from remaining forever burled beneath 1 the roadbed of a railroad.

Encasing a tunnel lining with grout ing from a flexible hose has been suc cessfully tried on a Swiss railway. A mixture of 162 pounds of Portland ce ment to nine gallons of water was used in a cylindrical vessel holding about 80 gallons, the cement being kept stirred by a hand-revolved paddle, and compressed air at about 78 pounds per square inch was admitted to the cylinder through a pipe enter ing the top. The lining being per forated with seven to nine holes, the water back of it was forced out by a strong blast of air. The cement mix ture was then forced through the hose into these holes by the air pressure In the cylinder, and on hardening made the lining quite watertight. How Harding Eats Waffles. George W. Harding, who was the Republican nominee for governor of Ohio, is very fond of waffles. ^“1 have a regular formula for eat ing waffles,\ said Mr. Harding to a friend, “and I recommend it to every one. You eat the first 14 waffles without syrup, but with lota of but ter. Then you put syrup on the next nine, and the last half-dozen you eat just simply swtrom.'i’g in syrup. Eaten that way waffles never hurt anybody.\ Cream Carrot Soup. Wash, scrape and cut In slices enough carrots to fill a pint bowl. Boil these in a quart of water, slightly salted, till soft enough to m b through a sieve with the potato masher. Mix together in a thick saucepan two tablespoons of flour and one table spoon of butter, stirring with a wood en spoon till they begin to bubble. Gradually stir into this a pint of milk and the carrot pulp. Add hot water to make one quart of sotip. Put the yolk of one egg and a tablespoon of chopped parsley together in the tu reen, turn in the hot soup, stir gent ly, and serve at once. Orange Marmalade. One each orange, lemon and grap* fruit. Shave very thin, rejecting seeds and cores. Use all peel and pulp. Measure, add three times the amount of water and let stand in an earthen dish over night. Next morning boll ten minutes, let stand another night. In morning add an equal amount sugar and boll until it jellies. The jelly should be amber colored and strips well defined. This makes twelve glasses. Cream Sponge. Dissolve 1V4 teaspoons of granu lated gelatine into 2 tablespoons of cold water. Beat 1 pint of cream un til stiff, fold in Mi cup powdered Sugar. Add the gelatine and beat a few minutes until well mixed. Flavor with a teaspoon of vanilla. Turn in to a mold and let it get very cold. Woman’s True Age. .

GOT IT. Got Something Else, Too. \I liked my coffee strong and I drank it strong,” says a Pennsylvania woman, telling a good story, \and al- j though I had headaches nearly every day I Just would not believe there was any connection between the two. I had weak and heavy spells and pal pitation of the heart, too, and al though husband told me he thought It was the coffee that made me so poor ly, and did not drink it himself for he said it did not agree with him, yet I loved my coffee and thought I Just couldn’t do without It. \One day a friend called at my home—that was a year ago. I spoke about how well she was looking and she said: \ ‘Yes, and I feel well, too. It’s be cause I am drinking Postum in place of ordinary coffee.’ \I said, ‘W h at is Postum?* “Then she told me how it was a food-drink and how much better she felt since using it In place of coffee or ’.ea, so I sent to the store and bought t package and when it was made ac cording to directions it was so good ( have never bought a pound of coffee lince. I began to improve immediate ly. “I cannot begin to tell you how much better I feel since using Postum md leaving coffee alone.
