among other things, he discarded the
scissors with which he had previously
trimmed his beard. and he was obliged
to let it grow. BY the time Fort Donel-
son surrendered it was a pretty long
beard, and the artists of the pictorial
newspapers did not exaggerate it's
length in the sketches that they made
of father.
After that campaign was over, IA
Their went to st. Louis upon a brief
furlough to visit mother. The minute
she saw him she objected most strenu-
ously to his long beard, and father, al
most as soon as he had heard her OBJ
lection, hunted up barber and had
his face shaved clean. But mother,
who had grown accustomed to seeing
him with close-cropped full beard.
objected also to his having no beard
at all, and the upshot of the matter
was that father promised to let his
beard grow again and to take with
him wherever he went in the war a
good pair of scissors so that he could
himself keep his beard close cropped.
After that, all through the war, he
was accustomed about once every two
weeks to stand before a little glass
hung up on his tent pole and clip his
beard somewhere near to the shape
liked by mother.
Years later-either when he was
president, or little after, am not
sure which at this moment-mother
became very anxious that father
should sit for profile photograph. He
had never had profile picture taken.
All that had been made Of him repre-
sented him in full face, or, possibly,
with his head slightly turned to one
side or the other.
But said father, when mother an.
pealed to him to sit for a profile, 1T is

The Prince of Hotel Proprietors.

Way back somewhere in the six
ties a young man travelled from his
little sheep farm down in Texas,
where the floods had cleaned out all
his stock, to New York city. His
name was George c. Boldt, and the
gyrations of Fortunes wheel that
carried him from his first humble
job of washing dishes and peeling
onions in a restaurant kitchen to
proprietor of some of the most
princely hotels in the world make
up one of the most fascinating stor-
les in the July issue of Human Life
Men who climb to the highest
pinnacle of success in a certain line
oftentimes get hold of some theory
or make some discovery in their first
humble beginnings whereby they
afterwards revolutionize the busi-
ness. This was the case with Boldt.
The star to which he had hitched
his wagon was proprietorship of
hotel. Opportunity knocked and he
gave her the glad hand. Then pres
toto his little hostelry one day,
with flourish of trumpets. descended
the great William Waldorf Astor-
and the hotel register full. But
Boldt wasn't easily feazed, and the
way in which he rose to the occasion,
and the meal he served to the great
William in his modest little dining
room convinced Astor that he had
found the man he was looking for.
The result was that the fortunes of
the great Waldorf-Astoria were COM
mitted to his hands.
Step by step the story traces his
rise, and not the least interesting
part of the narrative is the story of
the great hotel whose magnificence
has left nothing for competitors to
surpasS

les to appear in Human Life relat-
