where none but those worthy byI
culture, character and breeding wereI
urged to stay. The family was notI
the least bit snobbish. 1t was SIM
ply selective Of it's companions. OnceI
person was taken into the home,
the bars were completely down. ThereI
was neither reserve nor limit in theI
welcome, the hospitality and theI
friendship bestowed. Even when heI
was president Mr.. Wilson seemed toI
give his complete confidence to any
one within the family circle. Prob
lens of state, his opinions Of mem
and affairs-everything dist
cussed with the utmost abandon andI
without the slightest hint that it wasl
being said in confidence. Mr.. Wilson,
held in good faith to the old southern
idea that confidence given in theI
home or at the table was inviolable.
Many of those who were guests att
his table often gasped with amaze
men1 almost with fear at the|
frankness manifested by Mr.. Wilson.
The reason, Of course, that Wood
row Wilson was so unreserved I'M
his conversation was that guests
were not invited Unfortunately to-
the White House. Neither Mr.. Will
son nor the members of his family
looked upon the executive mansion
itself as a public institution, but as
their temporary home. The execu-
tive offices, connected with the
White House by covered corridor,
were different. There Woodrow Will
son was the president Of the United
States acting the role of public Off
cial but in the White House itself
he was Virginia gentleman enter
tanning his chosen guests to whom
his hospitality and confidence were
given without restraint.
No such attitude, Of course, was
noticeable in the state affairs in Thu
White House. Official dinners wei
rather formal. Receptions were muelN
the same as under previous admin
istrations. Musicales and teas re-
quired by official custom were few
in number and simply polite affairs.
The Wilson's were always gracious
but they did not disclose the same in
timacy then as on less public occa-
sions.
saturdays chapter will tell why
Woodrow Wilson never invited men,
bcrs of congress to dine at the White
House.)

WILSON DEVOTED TO FAMILY
AND FRIENDS He INVITED
INTO HOSPITABLE HOME

and jest with each other over what
it spelled. They often played games
by writing quotations and guessing
the authors of certain quotations.
Each one would write a quotation
and the next person would write an
other without, of course, reading the
first until a long sentence had been
evolved. Members of the family
wrote limericks about each other or
about anybody else who happened to
enter their thoughts. They were al
ways on the lookout for new linn
ericlls and when members of the
family heard new verse it was
promptly brought home. One Of the
most famous of these limericks was
Mr.. Wilson's about himself:
For beauty 1 am not a star,
There are others more handsome by
far,
But my facet don't mind 1t,
You see 1 am behind it;
1t is the fellow in front that I jar. :"
Another favorite of Mr.. Wilson s,
of which the authorship is unknown,
was the following:
"a wondrous bird is the pelican;
His mouth holds more than his
bellican;
He takes in his beak,
Enough food for a week.
But 1 am darned if 1 see how the
hellican."
Still another favorite was:
There was a young man who was
benighted,
He didn't know when he was sighted
But went to the party
And ate just as hearty,
AS if he had been really invited"
One of the dominant characteristics
OF the Wilson family was it's regular
ity and the methodical habits of the
man at the head of it. From his boy
hood on one could set his watch by
Woodrow Wilson's comings and
so'rgs. Meals were eaten at precise
ly the same time every day. He al
ways arose at the same time and
shaved himself with an old-fashioned
razor. He used the same strop for
years-a heavy we'll grained and oil
ed piece of leather upon which he was
able 20 predict the character of
the weather.
Razor StrOp His Barometer
IT can sometimes tell "a or sc
hours in advance when it is going
to Storm" he remarked to a friend.
If it is going to be clear my strop
is smooth and the razor slips over it
easily and without noisy friction and
when it is going to storm the strop
gets heavy ana the razor sticks"
On the 3rd of March, 1913, the day
before Mr.. Wilson became president,
he laughingly told his friends that
judging by his razor strop it would
be a clear day for his inauguration'
And it was.
In one sense the Wilson family
life was exclusive. Tom, Dick and
Harry were not invited into the
home, or to the table, or taken into
full friendship in the group, The
home was considered a sacred place

Kansas City Doctor
Ir1vents New Truss
New Discovery Heals Rupture
Without An Operation.

A new discovery which, experts
agree, has no equal for curative eff.
fects in all rupture cases, is the lat
est accomplishment of DIR. Andrews,
121-H Koch Bldg, Kansas City, Mo.
The extraordinary success of this
new method proves that it holds and
heals a rupture. 1t weighs only
few ounces. Has no hard gouging
pads, no elastic belt, no leg straps,
no steel bands, and is as comfort
able as light garment. 1t has en-
abled hundreds of persons to throw
away trusses and declare their rup-
ture absolutely healed. Many of
these had serious double ruptures,
from which they had suffered for
years. 1t is DR.. Andrews ambition
to have every ruptured person en-
joy the quick relief, comfort and
healing power Of his discovery, and
he will send it on free trial to any
reader of The Tri-Weekly Journal
who writes him. He wants one per-

he can refer. If you wish to be rid

place, making a distance between
the outside ends of the tie of eight
feet, the same as the standard wood
en- ties. Throughout that eight feet
in length stretch two carbon steel
rods inches square. holding the ties
in place and reinforcing the cement.
The life of the tie depends on the
time which would be required to
corrode the steel rods between the
cement blocks. 1t is estimated that
they would last for fifty years.
The cement is not subject to wear
as the surface is protected by as
phalt between the tie and the iron
rail This prevents abrasion and
eliminates noise. The ties being all
of the same size produce a smoother
road bed. An ingenious device en-
sures the holding of the rail firmly
to the block by spikes.
Mr. Smith said he did not wish to
boast about the tie: the dcmonstra-
ton, he said. would prove all that
was claimed for it. Already he had
received favorable comment on the
demonstration thus far. He has pat
ents for this country and Canada and
expresses confidence that the lie is
superior to any method yet devised.
Some years ago he invented a
wave motor which now seems TO in

he has tested that far enough to

sibilities in the way of developing
