The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-04-22

that of business manager. lie dictated d S
great cart of his messages to congress, ana '
he talked eff his correspondence at the treas O
airy department without a break. His chlet {
trouble in the treasury department was the I
lewness of the work and that he did not un-' {
derstand how to get other men to do his work $
for him. Division of labor is the secret of i
the workings of great government depart '
ment and a novice in one of them who tries 10 (
10 everything for himself is sure to succump
to sickness or death before long.
The great men of this administration take
too little exercise This is President Cleve'
lands danger He takes none whatever. He
gets up early, eats his fruit, oatmeal, beef
steak and coffee and sits down to write ana
study while it digests He works all day and
far into the night and only occasionally takes
drive into the country. He has gown TAT
ter since he has been in the White House, but
gets along with very little sleep and appears
to be healthy At Albany he used to walk
great deal, and always walked from the exc
cutive mansion to the Capitol. Here he does
not walk at all, ard his only exercise Is III
the shaking of the hands of about lou men
daily.
Secretary Lamar has been sick a number
of times since he came into the interior ole
partment After he sold the government
carriage he rode about Washington on horse
back for time, and he now walks occa'
sionally. But he is a dreamy fellow with
every appearance of apoplectic temperament
and his complexion and eyes are those OF a
man in poor health Lamar is widower,
and he lives here at a hotel, eating his meas
alone and half thbtime not noticing what he
is doing at the table. He is man OF great
brains, but remarkably absent minded, ana
if he is riding in the street cars 1t Is not
unC ommon or him to pay his fare more IMAM
once Secretary Lamar dresses PLAINLY ana
apparently cares very little for his personal :
appearance He is great reader ana writes
as good prose as Addison. He works hard,
and keeps up with his business to the surprise
of all who know of his literary tastes.
Alton ey General Garland has more OF
home life than Lamar, though he is also
: widower. His mother keeps his house for
him. and she watches over his health almost
as carefully as when he was the homelest
! looking but best natured boy in Arkansas
Garland likes fun, and while he was i'll the
senate he was the greatest practical joker
D there. His fellow senators all loved nm,
3 and they took advantage of his great taste
> for caramels one day by getting him to eat
u n cube of soap of chocolate color. IL was
u given to Garland as candy by one of his fel-
II low senators who was chewing away on
Is genuine taramels Garland took it and
IL popped it in his mouth. OF course he knew
i the difference as soon as the soap touched MS
: tongue, but his rough face changed not IN a
~ single feature and the only difference IN MS
% appearance that could be noticed was sor'
), of a hard glitter of the eye and bubp.e OF
III two of froth at the mouth, as he went on tC
!. masticate the practical joke which had beer
