Pie hated nobody, and nobody could hate him. His friendliness and sjonpathy were at all times extended to those with whom he came in contact; and as a result he enjoyed their good wiU and sympathy. There were some persons — and perhaps there are some to-day — in whose opinions President Hayes was what is sometimes 126 MEMORIES OF THE WHITE HOUSE termed a " soft " man, — one easily influ- enced against his will. We, who saw him at close range, however, realized that he was able, keen, sharp; a m...an who instantly saw through pretense.

No matter who came to call upon President Hayes, the visitor never saw him alone. At a table in the office sat Mr. Gus- tin, an expert stenographer, whose business it was to take down in shorthand everything that was said to President Hayes, and every word that the President said in reply, ex- cepting when some one, such as a member of the President's household, would come in and talk upon some purely personal matter.
