pulls a book ~ soon a. he enters and reads all
the way to and from tho Capitol Mr.. Spot.
ford's work shop, however, Is In the congress
sional library. His little aloove behind the
librarians desk Ii always filled with books
and papers, arranged In the most systematic
order, and Mr.. Spofford generally has on A.
sistant by his side whom he Is using a. .
machine to carry On the labor upon which his
mind Is engaged.
Mr.. Spofford and George Bancroft are
great friends, and they take regular horse
back rides into the country together Every
Sunday afternoon you may see them trotting
out of Washington at good round pace, and
1t is hours before they return.
Speaking Of Bancroft, he Is still worker,
and at 81 he grinds away as many hours
daily as he did when he was secretary Of
the navy under President Polk He sleeps in
his library, and has little single bed there
with table standing beside 1t upon which are
two candlesticks. II thought occurs to him
in the night he jots it down. He rises early
and he has his breakfast about ''clock,
which is always light one He works then
on until about l. when he takes lunch.
Shortly after this he goes out to ride on horse
back or drive and he can ride thirty miles
without firing his old, sinewy frame. He
shows the signs Of age, however, in his hair
and beard, which are us white as Stacked
lime, and in the many wrinkles which show
upon his parchment-like face. He uses
stenographer in his work and polishes and re-
polishes. 1t is his habit first to dictate his
thoughts to his secretary, who takes them
down in shorthand, goes Off to the other
room of the library and writes them out Oh

the type writer Mr. Bancroft revises this and
the revision is again printed. He corrects
and recorrects until he has it polished to suit
his taste. He considers $50 words a good
days work, and how small an amount this
is will be seen when tell you that it makes
only about one page of an octave volume, or
about one-fifth of column of newspaper.
Bancroft's library is on the second floor of his
house. It comprises three large rooms, and
Bancroft works in a room about, l should say
at guess, 20 by 20. The shelves which line
its walls have double rows of books on each
of them, and he has more than Is, 1000 volumes
in the library. He has made it principle to
buy every book that he could find upon his
hobby of United States history, and he has
hundreds Of valuable manuscripts, which
