A HORSE IN THE WHITE HOUSE

A Plain, Everyday Horse Shares tho
Building with the PresIdcnt.
A horse has his home in the white
house, says a Washington correspon-
dent This is literal fact which Wis
itors never discover and which few
Washington people know. The horse
which shares the executive mansion
with the president isn't g thorough
bred. He has neither pedigree nor
record He 10 just plain, everyday
horse, with white star in his fore
head, faithful companion to Edgar
r Beekley. Aud who is Edgar &
Beckley7 The man who for twenty.
i've years has carried to and
from the White house all of the
interesting and valuable mail re-
ceived and sent, and who has never
Seen found remiss in his duty. Rain
or shine. In all seasons, he makea
hourly trips between the white house
and the city postoffice. He is the
white house mail carrier. And the
horse that has his home in the white
house carries Beckley. The part of
the mansion SET apart for the horse Ia
one corner of the conserva ,ory. A
thin partition is all that separates
the roomy stall from the orchids
There is just room enough for the
stall and temporary supply of feed,
and there the horse eats and sleeps,
under the same roof with the presf
dert OF the United States.
