the president and the civil service com
mission are decidedly chummy. Proc
tor is at the white house about as much
as he is at the commission. He is a
great favorite with the children, as
wen as with the old folks, and, alto
getheF, he is almost one of the family.
He rides with the president oftener
than anybody else, and that is one of
the ties that bind the two together. He
is a splendid hOrseman, with all the
native Kentuckian's love for a ane an
imal. He is fond OF outdoor sports OF
every kind, and although he is within a
few months Of so, and served several
years with the confederate army. he
looks hardly a day older than the pres

man who has been a soldier, a farmer.

missioner keeps young by the force OF

A good many public men think that
Proctor carries his civil service re-

spect him even while they disagree with
