ROOSEVELT AND HIS CALLERS.
Manner In Which the President Re
 ceives and Greets His Visitors.

Washington Correspondent St. Louis
 Globe-Democrat
 The manner of the President in greeting his visitors Is different. perhaps from that of any of his predecessors. Visitors assemble in the wide east corridor of the White House. Cards are sent to Mir. Cor telyou, secretary to the President. He learns the mission of each visitor and ad- mits them to his office until from fifteen to twenty have assembled. While this ''weeding-out' process Is going on the President is receiving in his office those who have advance engagements with him. These engagements are made at hourly intervals. Between them the President en- ters Mir. Cortelyou's office and can dispose of fifteen or twenty callers in as many minutes, no matter what their business may be. MT. Cortelyou gives him name and hint as to the object of the caller. With a few rapid strides he crosses the room, shoots out his right arm to grasp the hand of the caller, and in a few ex- plosive sentences inquiries as to details. He permits no set speeches, nor does he listen to any but the briefest laudatory messages. The President is not a good listener. Half a dozen sentences give him the information he desires, and in trice his decision Is made up and announced, | his visitor dismissed, and he turns to an- l other
 l There Is nothing stiff or formal in the | Presidents manner. He laughs heartily. l moves about with surprising vigor, and l talks in a clear and sometimes loud tone. He is usually dressed while in his office
 in conventional Prince Albert coat, low
 lay-down collar with plain black bow tie, light striped trousers, and broad-toed polished calf shoes. The President has not lost the peculiar nervous twitching of his mouth, about which so much has been said and written since his accession to the Presidency. It has often been de- scribed as grin or indication of mirth on his part. This is not correct. The President has way of setting his mouth very strongly while talking. and this is followed by an involuntary twitching of the lips which exposes his teeth The peculiarity is not one indicating mirth or emotion of any kind. It is involuntary and observable at all times when he is en- gagged in conversation.
 The President Is accessible at all times during the regular hours at the White House. and even receives tourists who are prompted solely by the desire to grasp the hand of the President, even though they come unheralded and without an in- troduction.

COLONEL WILEYs POEMS.
From the Washington Post.


 The announcement that Col. Ariosto Appling Wiley of Alabama-not Affling as the Post printed it yesterday-is to shortly issue book of poems naturally created yesterday an amount of interest commensurate with the importance of the fact. Especially was great joy mani fested when 1t was known that the clever verses which Colonel Wiley had been wont to recite to admiring throngs in the cloakroom were to be permanently em- bodied in. book form. It is understood that a few editions de lux will be issued, one copy. bound in green calf with red edges to be presented to Speaker Tender son. This gift will be particularly appro- priate, for the volume will contain Gen. eral Henderson's favorite poem. There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea- Most historians give the credit of the author ship of this famous epic to ex-Senator Thurston, but as a matter of fact 1t was composed by Colonel Wiley at a tender age.
 It is unfortunate. but true. that the

At the meeting of the Woman's Club this afternoon several important subjects will be brought before the members for informal discussion. notably the pro- posed home for working women, the plans for which are at present being considered by the Ministers Union.
 While no definite plan has as yet been proposed, the idea Is to open home for the business woman who is without pro- tection and is forced to take uncomfort- able lodgings in the city. Hundreds of of the men and women interested in the young women who come to the city seeking employment and who have seri- ous difficulties in securing even tempo rary lodgings.
 So much has been written upon this subject that no one can be ignorant of its importance.
 That it is being considered seriously by the Ministers Union indicate that the movement should be strongly endorsed. That the woman's Club desires to CO., operate with the Ministers Union in it's efforts to provide a com fortable home for the business woman also is sufficient proof that conditions warrant the opening of such an institution.
 The Woman's Club Is ever on the side of the young working woman and is in deep sympathy with every movement looking to her protection and interest.
 At the meeting this afternoon Mrs. Zac Smith. the president will make some suggestions by which she believes the club can aid the Ministers Union in It's efforts to improve present, conditions that con front the army of young women who are constantly undergoing privatlons in cheap and uncomfortable lodgings and third class boarding houses.

fame which Colonel Wiley's poetic genius has brought to him has also aroused spark of envy in the breast of several other poets in the House. Indeed. not only spark, but an entre confagration rages in the interior of Representative cibson of Tennessee MT. Gibson has long held the palm-has frequently been crowned with the wreath of laurel-for the elegance of the poems with which he enIivens his speeches. For instance, MT. Gibsons original inspirations which ap- pear on page 7O3 of the Congressional Record and which thrilled the House when they were delivered are held by many connoisseurs to be equal in thought. rhetoric, and rhythm to any of Colonel Wiley's effusions. One of these poems in blank verse prosaic name echo down the halls of time. It Is as follows And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied OCT with the pale cast Of
 thought,
 And enterprises of great pith and mos
 ment
 With this regard their currents turn awry And lose the name of action.
 If Colonel Gibson continues to write poetry like this. he will run Colonel Wiley a neck-and-neck for the position of poet laureate of the House.
