It grieves me." said Woodrow Wilson
to one of hlii traveling jympanloni during
he campaign, "to reallie that there are
t lot of people who think that merely be
cause I've been a college professor, I'm
a stiff old ass who doesn't know any
hlng." Those who come to know him during
the next four year will realise how lltlto
any such description applies to him. The
wen who have been his constant aaso
Mates since he was nominated at Balti
more have found him a delightful com
panion and their most disagreeable ex
perience has been In meeting persons who
ask If Mr. Wilson 1b a regular human be
ing. One of the reasons why tho person
ality of the new president Is so little
Vnovn Is that he Ib not Inclined to display
and when lie docs something spectacular
Ihe chances are ten to one that he doesn't
know It until ho reads the newspapers the
lext day.
Ills love of plain fun and good stories
Is In itself a refutation of the Idea that
he Is a reserved, austere scholar, with
trtlstocratlo leanings. Whether It wa
aboard a train, In tho smoker of the
steamer bound for Bermuda or In the
ulet of his btudy at Princeton, Mr. Wilson
lias revealed himself as a Very approach
able Individual, one whose dignity Is not
bf the kind that hurts, and yet one whose
ccoseness never causes him to forget
his manners. The Scotch and Irish In him
We well mingled and a love of laughter
tffsets constantly upon a tendency' to
ombrencss.
Ills Ilecreatlons.
Jlr. Wilson was tfi years old on Decern
tier 28 last. He stands 6 feet 10 Inches In
his socks and his wetght of 177 pounds
Is well placed. He can run halt a mile at
It good clip without losing his wind. Golf
land walking are his favorite exercises,
rnd while he enjoya ir.otoring, he frc
(jenntly goes to sleep In the car. Ills
fondness for sleep Is marked. It has been
remarked that he fondles the Idea of
going to bed. He takea nine hours' sleep
When he can get It and doesn't object to
adding a fow more "when business Is not
pressing. He can sleep anywhere, and
Bften In railroad trains when ho has ap
peared to be deep In thought closer In
spection has shown him to be dosing
peacefully.
While exemplary In his habits. Mr, Wll
bom would hardly be called an ascetic.
He never drinks Ice water. He docs not
use tobacco. Once In a while he takes a
little wine or a Scotch highball when he
la very tired. Buttermilk Is his favorite
beverage. One night he was sitting with
tho newspaper men swapping stories.
From tlmo to time they orfered him
lemonade, a glass of plain soda or some
'tiling equally Innocuous. Finally he
looked around with a gleam In his eye

I'nrrfnl of Speech.
Ordlnarliy, Mr. Wilson Is careful of his
speech. He generally has hlmrelf under
excellent control. But Scotch temper
will out, and on those occasions there Is
a punch In everything he says. Kor good
measure he throwB In now nnd then a.
wholesome great, big D, like the captain
In "Pinafore." He has three stock
phrases "That's exceedingly Interest
ing," "I am very much gratified," "I am
deeply grieved." Every Interviewer has
bumped up against them. He can listen
so hard that the alienee Is deafening.
When he does speak he Uses wordB with
such discrimination that the Interviewer
needs a book of synonyms In order to be
suro he has caught his meaning.
Tho favorite author of the president Is
Bhakotpcnre, and he likes "Henry V"
best. He says the spirit of that drama
appeals to him. But his reading has
been in many fields nnd his knowledge
of tho best English poetry Is surprising
In one whose particular work has not
been literary. He la fond of the theater,
but prefers comedy or light opera to the
heavy plays.
In his lifetime Mr. Wilson has col
Icctcd some curios. One acquisition Is
the alleged first suitcase ever Invented.
Hn insisted on taking It with him during
the early stages of the campaign. Vari
ous chemes were devised by the news
paper men to got rid of It, but his watch
ful eyo wa upon It almost constantly, j
Ho would never let nnyone carry It for
him. Ono night In Chicago he lost It and
had to borrow a dress suit to go to a
reception, but It came back and la still
preserved In the family.
I'rnnnnl Prcnllnrltles.
Another peculiarity of the president Is
a fondness for soft brown tints. The cam
paign nnd Bermuda mado Inroads upon
tho onn which ho had been wearing lor
many months ntid When he arrived In
Now York on December 1 and declared
he must have another hat his friends
had hopes. He left the Waldorf, went
up Fifth uvenue and returned with an
other brown one.
President Wilson Is a shorthand and
tipewrltlng expert. His prepared speeches
very few in number, have been written
first In shorthand. The typewriter he uses
Ih no longer described in newspaper ad
vertlscmenta as the best typewriter made.
It Ib tho machine upon which he has
dono moat of his writing, however, and
ho declines to part with such a tried
friend,
Tho number thirteen hn no terrors for
tho president. Thero are thirteen letters
In, his name and In this thirteenth yeai
at Princeton he was elected as tho unt
vtrslty'n thirteenth president, Time and
again It has happened that hfs chair on
l train ha been No. 1.1. Ho cb'H,.h m
horso chestnut In his pocket always. It
Is his talisman of good fortune, not a
symbol f hla storlus. Huwcvir,
might look hard If one referred to It
after hearing one of his limericks.
DlnllUrs Military Pomp
Ho Ib Impatient of military display and
tpomp of any kind. Tho secret service
men have n hnrd time getting him to take
(ill the precautions against possible attack
whlch they believe advisable He objects
strenuously to being taken through pri
vate thoroughfares and Into elevators in
puch places as big railroad stations. He
llkea to be one of the crowd, and fre
quently persons coming to meet him at n
railroad station have found him on a
atool In. the quick lunoh placp oblivious
.to everything except the plate of beans
before him.
Blf-Mnde Hnrber.
Mr Wilson shaves himself. When at
home he use the ordinary kind of raxor,
.but employes a safety raxor when trav
cling. Ills razor strop is his barometer.
According as It Is hard or soft ho knows
whether the day la to be fair or rainy.
He never wears a raincoat, but will carry
an umbrella If he has to. Shortly after
otectlon he bought one In Princeton and
was quite proud of it. He paid 13 for It.
He admired the lntrlcaoy rf It. There
was a lot to It. But as an umbrella it
wasn't much. Tho first time he opened
It the handle came off and the second
time he opened It he couldn't get it closed
again.
The president has no illusions about nls
face. He has referred to "the visage that
won't mind marring," He has enormous
ears and a large mouth. His teeth are
large, irregular and somewhat discolored.
His chin la protruding and the muscles
at the point of his Jaw are knotted. His
head is massive and covered with Iron,
gray hair, except on the top, where bald
ness has begun to appear. His lips nru
full, He wears glasses all the time and
when reading uses a monocle (or his right
eye, which Is almost blind as the result
of an accident In hla youth.
His smile Is fotchlng. It wua remarked
upon frequently by campaign crowds, and
hla general aspect when he la speaking Ib
pleasant. His voice la deep and sonorous
In the largest meeting places he speuas
apparently without effort, but is heard to
best effect in the auditorium of a theater
or a small banquet hall.

he has a difference with a man he will

Ho said that a poor woman who was
being aided by his daughter, Jessie, In

she was asked wy, she said:

One ot the ' cleverest and most far.
reaching forma of advertising, which the
great foreign hotel Industry has Invented
and perfected, -Is that' of the hotel trunk
or baggage lnbol. , Its field of possible
innuence is wono-wme lor a irunK so
labeled may travel ;from Don to Ueer
shoba, from Liverpool to furthest Africa,
and at every, stop en route, whether at
railway station op atenmer wharf, ln vil
lage, town or city, it may bo seen by
hundreds of tourists, any ono of whom,
if attracted by the suggestion ot the
label, is a possible furturc patron of the
hotel so advertised.
The means of distributing such adver
tisements is limited only by the numbers
of. travelers stopping at a given hotel,
with any form of baggage whatsoever;
for tho ubiquitous porter slaps a label
an any trunk, bag, or basket which
comes, for Instance, into his hands.
The traveler proceeds on hla way, and
Involuntarily becomes the unpaid ad
verttslng agent of the hotel he has Just
quitted, quite regardless ot his possibly
derogatory impression' and opinion con
cerning it; for while he himself may
speak to ono person ln regard to that
particular hostelry, his trunk may
speak to hundreds. The cost to the
hotel management of such advertls-
tnent is merely that ot the single label
thousands bt which, perhaps, are
printed ftt' one order and of such In
flnlleslmal proportion of the wage of
the ubiquitous porter as pays for the In
stant of time In which he haa gummed
his label on your possession.
An amusing instance ot such adver
tising la that ot a hotel in Holland
called The Bible House, famoua for its
cuisine and its wine cellar. The label Is
simple, 6x4 Inches perhaps, and the
picture on It merely a large; open, gilt
edged volume, the conventional family
Bible. But acrqss the pages of the vol
ume is printed In Roman type:
Timothy, V. 5J,"
Quite naturally, this cryptlo reference
piques the Interest and curiosity of the
tourist whose eye It catcnea. and ir he
