| After General Miles made his COM
ment on the Schley court decision the
president sent for him. Miles went
to the White House, and the famous
colloquy occurred, wherein the presl-

that conversation has never been
printed. During his rebuke of Miles
the president said excitedly: Il

The president takes more physical
exercise than any other man in Wash

go horseback riding and to get some
body to go with him. If the friend
cannot ride very well, the president
is fond of dropping back a bit and
then riding up at a hard gallop and
shouting cowboy "whOOpee!' at
the top of his voice. He does this to
Senator Lodge very often, and Lodge
hangs grimly to the pommel of the
saddle while the president laughs.
The president is very sensitive to
newspaper criticism. He lectures re
porters severely when they print any
thing he does not like. He thinks
nothing should be printed in admins
