toboggan chute down the famous Pail,
and an escalator TO take you up; and
there are real diamonds in Diamond
Head, and all you have TO do is to
get a permit from King Kamehameha
to dig for them; and the volcano is
the greatest natural location in the

throng. If one wants to know about
him through motives other than those
of the idlenesS of curiosity he can see
him and talk with him. and the
chances are that he will be told every
thing concerning the subject of his in
quiring curiosity that any man of
modest mien and inclination naturally
would be willing to tell. Colonel House
is a genial man who seemingly never
has sought to define for personal use
the meaning OF either Of the words,
coldness or austerity. He has n sense
Of humor well developed, and tenn
peramental warmth.
Secret Of His Power.
In Houston, Texas, in the year 1853,
Edward NJ. House was born. He was
educated at the Hopkins grammar
school, New Haven, Conn, and at
Cornell university. He has been active
all his adult life in Democratic politics,
but never has been candidate for Of

Add to these admittedly meager de-
tails one fact and unquestionably you
will have the secret of this mans pow
er TO attract other men to him for the
purpose Of consultation on really high
public matters. From the day that ne
was old enough to undertake serious
study, Edward NJ. House has been deep

away from the studies OF states, past
and present and in prospective to the
reading of what the English call penny
dreadfuls, and what the Americans In
the old days called yellow backs. II
Is said that the speaker Of the house
of representatives, Champ Clark, stops
frequently his mental digging into all
kinds of history to take up for relief
purposes books OF the kind which
make a boy happy.
Reads Good Fiction.
In the library of Colonel House
there Is plenty of good fiction. He

ingly time enough has gone by ana
things enough have been proved or
disproved To give certainty TO the
word that Woodrow Wilson has found
Edward NJ. House an advisory asset.
There hardly can be much of real
mystery about man who twice since
this great war began has been sent
abroad as a special commissioner TOT
the president of the United States. Col
onel House has been twice in Berlin.

other of the great European capitals
Some day ii may be that Woodrow

likely that the part taken by Colonei
House in the shaping OF some OF the
policies Of the president may be gwen
the page place which many men De-
lieve that it deserves.
No Mystery There.
While living in New York Colonel
House resides in an apartment not
very far uptown. 1t is homeilke
place where good books are found ana
where good friends may come. 1t Is
genial place and no curtain of mystery
hangs over the door of any one or lts
rooms. Men go there and are wei

learns as much from man as he learns
from books and more perhaps IL we
believe the ancient saying about the
proper study of mankind.

No man probably can read politics.

stantly without getting some OF Dr.
Dry-aS-D DuSt'S characteristics. SO 1T Is
that Colonel House does not read the
four formidablcs constantly. He turns
TO fiction and here one finds something
of possibly more than passing human
interest.

It was said of him that he had read
