L1TTLSFIELD's PERSONALITY.
The Trust Fighter Chosen by Pres
 ident Roosevelt.

Brooklyn Eagle.
 Charles LittlefeId Is industrious. respof- sible and true. Work has no terrors for him-has never had from the days when as a tall, lanh youth, he stood at the carpenters bench and earned enough money to fit himself for the law. Little field Is not only a temperate man, but Q teetotaler and a firm advocate of prohibi- tlon.. He never smokes, but enjoys the smoke of good cigar, and will join in the jollities of his bibulous friends with the zeal that he displays in everything. The Bible and Shakespeare he has at his finger tips. -...
 Tn his office system is everywhere. The sign beneath the front window Is simple, only one word-"Littlefield." Speaking of his ssytems in preparing law cases he said: When case comes into my hands, if ever have had another case in my experience just like 1t. I can determine that fact in about three shakes of d lambs tail. All the law is looked up when ths case first comes into my hands"
 MT. Littlefeld is a prodigous worker, and his wonderful physique stands him in good stead this summer. Taxed with one of the most important tasks of a generation, the trust-regulating bill. he has consented to stump his native State in the coming campaign, beginning on August 20. and closing late in September then dashing across :ne continent to Cal ifornia, where he will make several speeches in the campaign.
 have not an ounce of supernuous flesh on me- he remarked today, "and I am a thorough believer in strenuous athletics as the only salvation of man physically. especially public men who are compelled to absorb hot dinners and other things that go with them while un- dergoing more or less of a mental strain. "
 "The public knows my sentiments on the trust question" MT. Littletield went on, flor I have a couple of bills before Congress concerning it. shall probably be asked to present the bill, when 1t Is ready, before our next Congress. Mean while, devote a few hours daily to the trust question, which, in my mind, to- gether with Cuban reciprocity, outranks all others now before the American peo- pie.
 "Ncw, as to Cuban reciprocity. There Is the most interesting question that l have studied in ten years. The people do not understand it. The orcss do no, grasp it. The press tells the people that Congress promised the Cubans reciprocity. This is entirely wrong. am preparing an article for a magazine on Cuban recip- roCity. which, I think. will clear away the fog that has surrounded the ques- ticn."
 Mir Lttlcheld has one faillng-sone might say-love of good horses. He keeps several good ones in his stables, and when he Is on the road behind one he takes nobody's dust. overwork in his first term in Congress impaired his vigorous health and he fought thoroughbred sal dle mare, Janita, upon whose back he could be seen any day. rain or shine, dur ing the last session. He frequently was seen with Roosevelt dashlng across coun- try.
 He admires loftiness in nature, and in summer Is frequently seen ascending old Meguntlcook or other ranges of the Cam den Mountains. He Is as tireless a pe- destrian as he Is a student of public af- fairs The waters of Maine are cold in the hottest summer months, but he Is often seeL grasping the mane of the waves as they dash off picturesque Owls Head and swimming far out to sea.
 Said a leader yesterday: We know what stuff Charley Littlefield Is made of We know that this fight once begun by him will be maintained till eventually he has carried out his Ideas. legally at least"
 MT. Littlefield likes a good play and Is in his best element at a rattling farce comedy or a minstrel show.
