I intimate Picture o * President's 1 Two years ago Tuesday a week ago Woodrow Wilson fell a sick man. On the anniversary, the Associated Press gave the following pen picture of the former presidents simple home life: Mr. Wilson, besides following the ways of a retired gentleman with a lively interest in the world's affairs, lives, by the eight hour day which he once told congress was "adjudged by the thought and' experience of recent years a thing upon which society is justified in existing, as in the interest of health, efficiency and! I contentment." He aims to have eight j 'hours for sleep, eight hours for work j i and eight hours for relaxation andj "keeps to the schedule pretty fairly. j Seven o'clock in the morning is; about his rising time. He once again i shaves and bathes alone and then! takes some calisthenic exercises pre-! scribed by his physicians as beneficial j in restoring the use of nerves and j muscles which were impaired during j I his breakdown. He has breakfast in i Mrs. Wilson s boudoir and finds that I two years of illness and slow convaI lesence have not affected his ^npetite. I The morning papers never are neglected whatever else may demand at-i tention. Half a dozen of them are delivered early and Mr. Wilson reads them thoroughly. Work of Morning. Then comes the morning s work. About that time the mail carrier, six days a week, delivers quite a packet of letters. They come from a variety of correspondents. Old friends of the administration days write informal friendly notes or discourse on the politics of the day. Schools and colleges ask for donations; individf uals who feel the pinch of the times -ask for some personal financial assistance. Others discourse on the shortcomings as they see them of the Republican party. Autograph hunters are represented in large number. Various gentlemen who think their ailment is the same as Mr. Wilson's want to know the names of his physicians. Mrs. Wil son invariably goes over me inomin&'s mail with her husband, some : letters are turned over to a secretary for reply, most of them the r former president answers personally, dictating to a stenographer who comes from his law office every morning for the purpose. All of them he signs himself. The morning's work is done in the library. The old desk and chair and table Mr. Wilson used in his study at Princeton are there. Thousands of volumes which were packed away while he was in the White House are there. Through the windows may be seen the indigo blue strip of Virginia hills where he used to go golfing, and not far away hangs a bag of golf sticks, a reminder of a better day. Princeton Colors Used. The former president and his inr separable companion always have their lunches served in the dining Them rnmps a naD of an hour and then, unless the weather is most inclement, a motor drive. Mr. Wilson while in the White House became attached to a certain automobile. It went back, as is the custom, each year to the manufacturer, from whom Mr. Wilson bought it as a' i "used car." He had it painted black, i with orange trimmings?Princeton colors?and in his car which he regards as an old friend,' he goes driv-i ing into the countryside. He dislikes! exploring new routes but rather en-' joys driving over the same ground j at about the same time. Many folks j in the country look for him; one; quaint old lady recently held up the j car and presented a sweater which she had knitted; a little girl gave Ihim a knitted lap robe. Frequently the car stops at a farm and takes on a load of fresh vegetables, eggs # \ and fowls. The party is always home before dark. Dinner is an informal affair; some, times there are guests, always old friends or associates. Mrs. Wilson J nrt lftiuor rirpsses for the occasion! H JLXW *V**ov. as she always did while Mr. Wilson was president; it is en famille. But no meal in the BBS Wilson household ever proceeds un|H til grace is said. Mr. Wilson has al|H ways said it himself, and months ago when he was so weak he could hardly stand without aid, and his voice was almost inaudible he steadied himself on his chair and whispered BB|m the plea for divine blessing. Friends remember him ever at Frequently a Potomac river ^^^^HAsherman sends a rare specimen ^HHB^Hrcm his catch. Once, another friend HHflBBent him ducks out of season and j I^MBHMpaid the game warden a handsome e n Heading or Amusement. HHSB % After dinner he goes in for reading i ^^^^V.or amusement. Once a week Mr. Wilson has a motion picture show of his SK^F own and frequently sees the feature S? At' - f Former j Simple Home Life: film at the same time it is being shown at the theaters down town. Occasionally he goes to a vaudeville show, -his party taking seats in the last row, and entering and leaving with every effort to avoid ostentation. It rarely happens, however, that somebody fails to discover the visitors and a demonstrations of handclapping always ensues. Evenings at home, however, are spent in the family circles. The former president and Mrs. Wilson read a book together, or perhaps Mrs. w An /I n >vnauu icaua aiuuu. Sometimes it is one of the detective stories of which Mr. Wilson was said to be so fond. They do not now form as large a part of his reading as may have been the case years ago. He takes to bed early, not to sleep, however, but to relax, to read and write. Like Mark Twain he does much reading and writing in bed. Propped up by pillows, and with a little writing board across his knees he reads and makes notes, some of them voluminous and in shorthand. Nobody knows what they are about. He puts them carefully away. They are not notes for a book, which many expect. Not to Write Book. Unless Mr. Wilson changes his mind decidedly he will write no reply to Robert Lansing or any one also who has criticised his policies. A writer who has been given access to Mr. Wilson's papers of which there is most a ton, is writing a book, but " * 1 *- - ^ HIT'f It Wlli De HIS U w U, LLUL .?ii. H uouu o. "I'll give you any material I have for your book," Mr. Wilson told him. "I 11 answer any questions you ask; but its your book, I don t even want to see what you wcite." However the evening may be spent, however tired he may be, there is one thing the former president never neglects. It is the reading of a rew verses of the Bible. When he says good-night he invariably reads aloud some short passage from the book which always rests on the reading table at his bedside. Friends and admirers ask, what is Woodrow Wilson's real condition now? He will be 65 years of age next n.AAn.Vv/M. ?> n A Vioc Vioan tVirftnsrVl a n UCi AiiU iltto tui v iaq u MM ordeal which few men survive. The measure of his progress toward health must be measured with these facts in mind. His normal weight in health while he was president was 180 pounds. He showed little depar-. ture from that figure now. His eyesight is as good although he has discarded his favorite noseglasses for spectacles. His hair has turned snow white, but it has not thinned. His appetite is too robust to please his physicians. Last March when he left the White House with president-elect Harding, an attendant had to place his feet on each succeeding step from the portico. The other day he sent his attendant away and climbed alone, not without some effort, into his automobile, just to see if he could do it, and seemed pleased to | find that he could. Walks With Cane. 4 Motor nerves and muscles of his | left side have given more response to j treatment than was hoped for. Of j course they are not fully active now. He still walks with a cane most of j the time but frequently hangs the! crook over his arm and "goes it alone j without my third leg," as he puts it. j .Mr. Wilson is far from a well man j today; he was far from a well man when he entered the White House over eight years ago. But during the last two years there have been times when his voice was inaudible and when he could not support'himself alone. His condition today shows more improvement than his family and friends dared hope for. There are many angles to Mr. Wilson's present day psychology. Living in Washington and easy of access to party friends at the capitol he might give consultation on party politics, but he does not. Whatever a visitor may say in criticism of the Republican administration Mr. Wilson never makes a reply. -He never permits any one in his presence to speak what he regards as "disrespectfully of the president of the United States." Somebody once raised the question "How do your ex-presidents live?" Colonel Roosevelt had a comfortable fortune of his own augmented by income from writings. Mr. Taft until he became chief justice, had from j time to time profitable sources of: income. I Mr. Wilson brought with him to j the White Mouse the small savings! i of a lifetime, which he preserved. I During his terms in the presidency! his royalties from books previously " v'tfnn in mm t rut ir?tr? rather hand some sums. Singularly enough they! have shown a marked slump since he! left the White House. While he wasl president circumstances helped him save money. The war and the suspension of social functions and entertainment were quite an item. It has been estimated that the former president's pocketbook was at least $25,000 richer because he was not called upon to wine and dine numerous dignitaries and official persons. Upon his modest fortune now he lives simply, with an establishment of only tbree servants and a "used car" SUMMONS FOR RELIEF. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of Bamberg.
