THE WHITE HOUSE STABLES.
Better Accommodations Needed for the
Presidents Horses.

At the coming session of Congress an eff
fort will be made to obtain authority for
the removal of the Presidents stables from
their present location on the Presidents
Park directly south of the State Depart
ment building, and the erection of a new
building for the purpose in more suitable
location. Col Symons in his last annual
report makes earnest recommendation
for an appropriation of 100000 "for building
a stable on a location in the Presidents
Park to be selected by the President to
the south of the present stable, for the
of the President, the executive office and
the office of public buildings and grounds"
In support of his recommendation Col.
SymOns says that the present stables are
located on a plot of ground which will I'M
dOubtedly in the near future be selected
a site of a monument to one of the nation S
great men. When such monument is
erected" says he, the stables should be
removed and the ground occupied by them
should be improved and beautified to make
a fitting setting for the monument The
stables are inadequate and in no wise cor
responding to or commensurate with the
splendid residence of the President or his
stable needs, or the variety and Importance
of the business of the executive office and
the office of public buildings and grounds,
which are all accommodated together. The
present stable is a low brick structure,
built many years ago, and near the
ground as 10 De camp ana unhealthy Tor
horses. In connection with it is an old
wooden stable, which is needed to increase
the capacity to the requisite amount. To
build a proper and adequate stable on a
new site further to the south on 18th
street would cost about 100000 Such a
stable would accommodate the animals
carriages and wagons at present in use and
provide for the reasonable and natural in
crease which can confidently be expected
in the future. 1t should be built so as to
furnish living rooms for the man in charge
of the stables and of his principal
assistants, and it should also furnish need
ed store rooms for such bulky and I'M
slightly things as the band stands chairs.
music racks, etc, used by the Marine Band
for It's public concerts in the White House
grounds, and for boxes crates, etc On ac-
count of the desirability of the White
House being thrown open to the public
to the greatest extent possible there are
no store rooms where these large and I'M
slightly things can be properly provided
for.

IN AZ EN- A1A.
A Figure in the Moonlight.

Experiencing no further Inconvenience
than the ordinary Weiss tudes of travelling
without a litter or cavalcade, several days
of wandering slowly passed. Few people
they met, and those for the most part vari-
Gus types OF vagabondS and nomads; some
wild and savage. roaming like beasts from
place to place; others, harmless, mere be-
draggled birds OF passage. In this latter
class were the vagrant entertainers, with
dancing rooster or singing dog, who stop
ped at every PEASANTS door. To the shrll
piping of the hageolet. these merry strag-
glers added a step of their own and won a
crust for themselves. a bone for the dog or
IA handful of grain for the performing fowl.
In those days when court ladies rode in
carved and gilded coaches and their escorts
on horses covered with silken. jeweled nets,
the modest appearance of the jeStgess and
her companion was not calculated to attract
especial attention from the yokels and hon
est peasantry; although their steeds, not
withstanding their unpretentious housings,
might still excite the cuDidity OF highway
rogues. AS it minimized their risk from
this latter class, the young girl was content
to wear the cap of the jestress, piQuantly
perched upon her dark curis, thereby sug-
costing an indefnable affinity with va
grancy and the itinerant fraternity.
Not only had she donned the symbol of
her office, but she endeavored to act up to
1t, accepting the sweet with the sour. with
ever a Jest at discomfort and concealing
WEAKNESS with smile. Otter the fool Won
dered at her endurance and her calm cour-
age in the face of peril. for although they
met with no misadventures, each day

troubadour played and the morio yet listen
ed. Several of a group who had been sing
ing now sat in sullen silence. Suddenly
one of them muttered a broken sentence
and his fellows Immediately turned their
eyes toward the corner where were fool
and jestresS. This ripple of interest did
not escape the young girls attention, who
said easily:
why do those men look at us?"
"One of them spoke to the others re-
piled the jester. He called attention to
something"
What do you suppose it was?" she asked
curiously.

Whence came the voice? Near the couple,

! mitted the volume to fall and the jester

| looked upon those pinched, worn, but we'll

THE scamp STUDENT he said.
Immediately the reader buried his head
once more behind the book and spoke aloud
in Latin as though quoting some passage
which he followed with his finger: Did
you understand"
Yes" answered the PLEASANT, apparently
speaking to the jestress whose face wore a
puzzled expression.
The scamp student laid the volume on the
table. These men are outlaws and intend
to kill you for your jeweled sword he con-

cried an angry voice. as the master of the
boar stepped toward them.
"A discussion between two scholars"
readily answered the SCAMP student
why don't you talk in a language we
understand" grumbled the man.
Latin is the tongue of learning" was
the humble response.
II like not the sound of it." retorted the
other as he retired. From a distance
however, he continued to cast suspicious
glances in their direction. Bewildered, the
girl looked from one of the alleged con-

in the language of the monastery, and their

The jester glanced at the colossal mon

the girl, who was tapping impatiently on
the table with her white fingers. The fools

might stand against that frightful prodigy
of nature?

the scholar. Already the leader suspects

hroWs the master of the boar moodily re-
garded the young girl, whose face seemed
cold and dsdainful in the tiickering light.
The PLEASANT addressed remark to her, but
she did not answer. and silently he watched
the shadow on the floor of the chandelier
swinging to and fro, like waving sword.
viii you have something more. good
fool?' said the insinuating and unexpected
voice of the host at the plaisants elbow.
Nothing

look. What could a jester do with

how to use it?'

AT that some one who had been listening
laughed. but the fool did not look up. A
great clock began to strike with harsh
clangor, and Jacquelne suddenly arose. At
the same time the minstrel, stretching his
arms, strolled to the door and out into the
open air.
Goodnight, Mistress said the harsh
voice OF the master of the boar, as his gilt
tering eyes dwelt upon her graceful figure.
The girl responded colby, and, amid a
hush from the company. made her way to
the stairs which she slowly mounted, pre-
coded by the lad who had waited upon
them. and followed by the jester.

the candle on a stand and vouchsafing no
further words. he shutfied off in the dark

The bolt shot sharply into place. fastening
the door. No other response would she
make, and the jester. after waiting in vain

them to Christianity and bringing them
into a state of slavery meant about the
same thing with him. Thus the poems OF
the early missions were civilized only in
that they were not hostile to white men.
They titled the soil for the monks as the
villains of medieval times did for their
baronial masters, but education did not
enter into the contract. On the contrary, 1t
was avoided as dangerous.
1t was left to the Americans within the
last two decades to teach the southern
California 1nolans real civilization, which
they did by throwing open schools and col
leges to them, and now they form part of
the population worthy of respect and con-
sideration. Most of these civilized poems
are ranchers and fruit raisers. From their
old Spanish masters they took Spanish
names. SO many are known by such names
as Rodriguez Vallejo Ramirez and San
chez, which gives the superficial tourist the
impression that these pure red men are the
children of old Spanish settlers. They are
not so energetic or partial to academic
studies as the reformed Diggers up state,
but in their own way they are just as
thoroughly civilized.
An Old Phase of Indian Civilization.
In Arizona, New Mexico and parts OF
Colorado another phase of Indian civiliza-
ton is visible. Here the bucks still go to
town in blankets and long hair; 1t is in
their home life that the change is most
apparent. They live in comfortable wooden
houses. farm the land by white mans
methods, have the latest patented kind or
plowS, harrOwS, sewers and reapers, drive
about in modern farm wagons behind spans
of mules harnessed according to eastern
methods, and keep themselves informed OF
the rise and fall of the markets. When
working on their farms they dress in the
ordinary overalls and jumpers of the Amer
lean farm hand.
These are a few examples of the evolu-

The New Foot Ball.

From Lie.
In the first half, a player had his cap
knocked off.
But there was no demonstration, except
by some fashionable girls in tally-ho,
who jeered sarcastically and tore up their
flags.
In the second half substitute suffered an
attack of indigestion. He was able to walk
off the field, however, and elected little en-
thuSiaSm.
At the end of the game, the spectators
clamored for their money back. But the
police, with great presence of mind, prompt
ly shot ten or a dozen persons, and the
sight of the blood soon put the crowd in
good humor.
