Fostering the President,

philadelphiq Record Washington Letter.
If any one thinks the president OF the
United States has an easy life, let him
take an hours sitting in the ante
room of the second floor of the white
house, or, what is better, in the presi-
dents room, where the movements OF
his excellency can be better observed
Mr.. Hayes settles down TO business III
10 O'Clock each morning, and from then
until noon he is open TO calls from SEN
ators and members, cabinet ministers
and foreign representatives. He hae
no opportunity to go through his mail
in the morning, that duty being in
trusted TO a confidential clerk in the
office Of Private Secretary Rodgers, who
opens the letters, notes the contents
and asserts them.
4 senator calls and requests the pres
ident to appoint n certain man as col
lector Of the port, and then goes on TO
give his reasons, The president smiles
and promises to give the subject ms
earnest attention; is glad the senator
called, and the latter departs satisfied
that his influence" has been felt.
Scarcely has he left when in walks A
member of the opposing faction, who
asks for the place for his friend. Then
there are more smiles and promises OF
consideration. and the representative
also struts out feeling that he mas
gained a victory. Next morning both
men read in the papers that some one
else-probably man they never heard
of-has carried off the prize. This Is
what has soured the politicians on Mr..
HAYES, and is what Andy johnson
would have termed my policy" A
silent spectator, studying the visitors,
recently counted five Southern demo
cratic congressman to every one North
ern republican who called on the pres
ident.
While all this has been going on in
side, the ante-room has been tillng
rapidly with people who have no in,
fuence," notably young married
couples who are on their wedding tours
ali waiting for a chance to pay their
respects to the president Word Is

Trapped.

There is a story told Of lady and
gentleman travelling together on an
English railroad. They were strangers
to each other. Suddenly the gontle-
man said:
Madam, | will trouble YOU to look
out of the window few minutes; ] am
going to make some changes in my
wearing apparel."
Certainly, sir" she replied, with
great politeness, rising and turning her
back upon him.
In very short time he said:
"Now, madam, my change if com
pleted, and you may resume your own
seat"
When the lady turned she beheld
her male companion transformed in
to a dashing lady, with a veil over her
face.
"Now, sir, or madam, whichever you
like" said the lady, II must trouble
YOU to look out of the window, for |
also have some changes to maze in my
apparel"
Certainly, madam" and the gentle
man in lady's attire Immediately com
piled.
"Now, sir, you may resume your own
seat"
To his great surprise, on resuming
his seat the gentlen an in female attire
found his lady companion transformed
into a man. He laughed loudly, and
said:
1T appears that we are both anxious
to avoid recognition What have yea
done? / haYe robbed bank
"And |, said the whilom lady, AZ he
dexterously fettered his companions
wrists with pair Of handouts, IAN
Detective j, Of Scotland Yard, and
in female apparel have Swallowed you
for two days, now" drawing revolver,
keep still"

, the crowd surges in and shakes hands
with the chief magistrate. 1t is the
plain, pump-handle ceremony, with
smiling variations The folks
pass out TO 60 to their homes, aud tell
how they shook hands and spoke 70 a
real live president These little daily
receptions are events in the lives OF
thousands. Mr.. Hayes takes grea,
pleasure in them, and gives each per
son such cordial clasp of the hand
that you feel as if he had known YOU
personally for some years.
The president is ovorrun with yisi-
tors. Some come to borrow money md
ethers 10 seek his aid in the procuring
of pensions for them. Not few call
and request him 10 give them positions
in the treasury department or some
other berth they have singled out.
And the amusing part is that many Of
these people think the president has
nothing 20 do but To say yes" and
their salaries will begin at that mo-
ment.
One of the most curious visitors is
an old woman who comes To Washing.
ton regularly from Maine. She has the
idea in her head that she owns the
whole United States. The deluded
creature briIgs an armful Of papers,
old deeds, and takes a seat in the wait
ing-room. Hero she goes over the doc
uments and prepares them So the pres
ident can sign them. She declares that
she has been cheated out of her rights,
and that rs soon as his eNcelCnCy
places his signature and seal ON the
papers she will recover all that has
been stolen from her. This is carried
on for about week, when the attaches
learn that her funds have run low.
They then hand her over To the dis
trlct Authorities. who kindly send her
back to her home. For twelve or
fifteen years this woman has made
these singular pilgrimages, and all who
know her treat her with consideration.
Then there are Il couple of chaps
who call two or three times year.
They generally labor under the hal
lucination that they are the president
of the United States. They come sep
arately, walk in and examine the house,
quiz the attaches TO know whether
they are taking good care Of the place,
ask how the machine is running, sit
around awhile, and finally move of
They always leave word that they win
be back soon to take possession, and
for the present occupant 10 hurry mp
and vacate.
The word "autu' written on the
edge of postal card, has II terrible
meaning. and is the latest popular
craze. The president is delugod with
letters from all over the country, re-
qucsting that he will send his auto
graph, ''Do you write your signature
yourself he was asked. Certainly"
replied the president. There are Mt
present 400 letters upon his table from
persons who make this modest request,
and the president is SO conscientious
about it that he will not allow clerk
to write the name for him. He laugh
ingly remarked that one day week
would have TO be set apart as auto
graph day" if the delugo did not end
And all the counties have not been
heard from either.
