gins to look forward to season Of rest with

Mr.. Hendricks is one of the most approaehable
and genial men ever in public life He never
claims any time his own as long as there are
people who want to see him on business; never
turns anybody away with rough words, and he
can say Mo- in a manner that breaks the force
of denial; and he can say mo" when he means
it You never hear him complain of being over
run with ofice-hunfers or bounded by poll
ticians. He accepts the task of dealing with
them as one whose duty it is to do it, who is paid
for it, and who is debarred from any such COM
plant. So every man, big and little, who comes
here for anything from the State of Indiana
knows him personally, and approaches him as a
friend. This will explain the constant crush
about his rooms at Wizards, and the continual
tax upon his energies.
Last year Mr.. Hendricks accepted the invita-
ton TO deliver the June address at Yale. The
PRESSURE here has SO monopolized his time that
