writes with such ease and facility that

than is required of many authors.

ing public speeches, message to con-

Washington. Nov. s.-rspecial.) --As
the time draws near for his retirement
from public life. interest in President

time to time there have been various re-

Where VIII He Liver
Speculation as to where Mr.. Wilson
will live after quitting the presidency
has been rife within recent months.
One report was that San Diego, Cal,
had been decided upon. but this seems
70 have been due TO the mere fact that
William g. McAdoo acquired property
near there. When DR.. Grayson bought
months ago. a. report at once became
current that It was being purchased for
Mr.. Wilson in anticipation OF his re-
turn 10 private life, This report was
denied at the White House, and Il is
thought likely that some place will be
sought where his literary labors would
be less liable to interruption.
Some think that he may return to
Princeton, from whence he entered
public life. and there live the retired
nor Mrs. Wilson has any especial In
terest In social life, preferring rather
the company OF lifelong friends to that
of new acquaintances.
What Others Did.
Col. Roosevelt devoted himself TO au-
thorship after leaving the White House,
becoming associate editor OF large
following a period spent In
the African wilds. Mr.. Taft, after four
years incumbency of the White House,
accepted the place he still holds asa a
member OF the faculty of Yale univer-
sity. He has done some writing. but
nothing pretentious. After completing
his second term as president. Grover
Cleveland made his home near Prince
ton university, where he was a familiar
figure to the students In his closing
days. He practiced law in a limited
way, and for a brief time lent his name
to one of the large insurance compa-
nles as an Official, Benjamin Harrison
also took up legal work after leaving
the White House and lived to a ripe
old age.
