Pursue the President to the White
House Door.

washington, Dec. 13.-From a stand
in front of the White House grounds
President Roosevelt reviewed the an
nual parade of the local police and fire
departments. On the stand with him
were his daughter, Miss Alice Roose-

lespie, the district commissioners, and
many prominent citizens of Washing

fire department gave an exhibition run.
Thousands of people packed Pennsyl-

see the president than the parade, and
when Mr. Roosevelt left the stand 500
or 600 school children invaded the
White House grounds and followed him
to the door of the executive mansion.
