IT one wants to know about him through motives other than those of the idleuess 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, coldncss or austerity. He has a sense of humor well developed, and a tenn peramental warmth.
 Secret of His Power.
 In Houston. Texas, in the year 1858, 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 a candidate for of flee
 Add to these admittedly meager de tatIS one Idct and unqueSttonably you will have the secret of this mans pow CT to attract other men to him for the purpose of consultation on really high public matters. From the day that he was old enough to undertake serious study, Edward M House has been deep in the books of politics, economics and legislation. He has marshaled in his mind all the greater events which have happened in these three words. More over, he has the men, the things and the motives connected with each case constantly in procession before him. He is quick to trace a cause to an ef- feet, or to go the reverse route. He has been q student of human nature as it has shown itself in many of the great problems of human life. This means that he has in him. or at any rate men believe that he has in him, the qualifications which go to make up q sound diplomat.
 Through successive administrations in Texas the governors of the state one after another, consulted Colonel

Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. It's horrible! Take dose of the dangerous drug tonight and tomorrow you may lose days work.
 Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the boxes. Calomel, when 1t comes into contact with sour bile, crashes into it, breaking it up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. If you are slug gish and "all knocked out" if your liver is torpid and bowels constipated or you have headache, dizziness, coat ed tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour, just try a spoonful of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone tonight.

 Has Studied Hard.
 have talked to Colonel House and have learned things which make me feel that I shall not go wrong when try to put an interpretation upon some of his methods of doing things. He is free enough to say that he has studied hard at economic, political and ley's- lative subjects. He probably even would be willing to admit that he thinks the results of these studies con- tinued and their results retained, have enabled him to be of some service when men were seeking information concerning events III llie pdSl MnlSA have relation to events in the present or events expected in the future.
 Therefore, there Is here q man who has held what he has studied, who has collated and correlated the hap penings of history, who has drawn lessons from them, who takes an in terest as deep in the living present as he does in the dead past, and who men believe is able to make his knowledge serviceable, for old as it is let us say t, history repeats itself.
 Woodrow Wilson did not meet his | friend Colonel House until the days when he was holding office as gover- nor of New Jersey. It is said by friends of Mir. Wilson that almost in stantIy he came to understand why 1 the Texan had been of service along constructive lines to some of the gov 1 ernors of the state in which he has l lived most of his life.

 There hardly can be much of real mystery about a man who twice since

 an autobiographical review of his pd-
 miniStration. If he does it is entirely
 likely that the part taken by Colonel
 House in the shaping of some of the policies of the president may be given the page place which many men be- lieve that it deserves.
 No Mystery There.
 While living in New York Colonel House resides in an apartment not
 very far uptown. It is homelike place where good books are found and where good friends may come. It is Il genial place and no curtain of mystery hangs over the door of any one of it's rooms. Men go there and are well
 come. They go and they talk. Man learns as much from man as he learns
 from books and more perhaps If we
 believe the ancient saying about the proper study of mankind.
 I asked Colonel House what his rec reations are. He said, Friends, read ing and walking" His library shelves
 show the kind of books that he has
 read, still is reading and will continue
 to read, for those in the book cases are made the companions day by day
 of the others as they come from the
 hands of writers worth while. No man probably can read politics, legislation, economies and history con
 stantly without getting some of Dr.. Dry-aS-Dust's characteristics. So it is
 that Colonel House does not read the four f0rmidables constantly. He turns to fiction and here one finds something
 of possibly more than passing human | interest.

 Woodrow Wilson, it is said, turns 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. It 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 boy happy.
 Reads Good Fiction.
 In the library of Colonel House there is plenty of good fiction. He | ''The Hidden Hand" of Mrs. l.. D. E. N. Southworth, nor yet to "Owl Face The Pawnee" of Beadle dime novel fame, but he manages to keep the men, tai balance even by an evening lamp hour or two with the writers of fic- tion who can lay claim to what the book reviewers call literary merit.
 Today Colonel House is entering up- on the work of preparing material which one day, perhaps far in the fu- i ture, will be serviceable to the Ameri- can commissioners at the great peace conference. Another has written this concerning the choice by the president of Colonel House for this work: He Is peculiarly qualified for 1t by his dip lomatic experience of recent years, by his study of political problems which the war has raised and by his integrity of mind and character"

You can't learn to live. All you can

must live in different way ON account
of the new conditions in which we find

ing mastered all the intricacies OF
nursing bottle and rubber nipple, may
thrive and be happy, but that only
proves that it has learned to live with
respect to that particular period of its
existence. AS it continues year after
year In the school of life it will have
to change its diet many times.
Never at any time would it be prop
er to hand you a diploma certifying
that you have learned how to live.
