visit to Cheyenne, and Warren asked
to have the horse brought in town to
be looked over. He was so enthusiastic
over him that the owner promptly Of
fered to give the animal to the presi-

the game through.
Wyoming" is as spirited horse
as ever submitted to saddle, and at
the same time he is amenable to dis
cipline as the gentlest creature that
ever breathed. When he was led up
to the president he raised his right
forefoot and placed it in the presidents
hand. Then he gracefully fell on his
knees and made his salutation. But
with the president once on his back,
he sped like the wind. AS single-foot-
er he can hold his own with any other
horse at canter, and breaking into a
canter he can beat them all.
Mrs. Roosevelt is as fond of IVY

she is to appropriate him if she chooses.
The children also have taken great
fancy to him, and he to them.

The tract of land chaeen for this en-

of the historic sites of Washington.
Eighty years ago the Van Ness mansion
was the finest house by far in the Dis

by John Van Ness, once congressman
from New York, who had married Mar

Burns, who in the early days was the
wealthiest man in the capital
Davy Burns lived in cottage on the
banks of the Potomac which was ap

when it was determined to bring the
capital to this neighborhood he proved
to be source Of greater trouble in the
laying out of the district than all other
causes combined. George Washington
had hard time of 1t bringing him to
terms. But the Van Ness mansion,
which his son-in-law built, was for
years the center of the social life of the
district, famed for its hospitality and
elegance.
That was so years ago. Nobody now
living has any recollection of the place.

There is a legend Of six headless
horses dragging huge black hearse
who gallop around the old house on the

criticism if this other negro were to sit
down with the Roosevelt family.
The difference all comes from the fact
that Mr.. Leger-for that is the negros
name-happens to be member of the
diplomatic corps. He represents the di-
minutive and turbulent republic of
Hayti, and he has been its represents
tive here for seven years.
1t Is a curious commentary on the
Washington prejudice against the nego
that it should halt before the sacred uni
form of an insignificant negro republic.
But there is no such thing as argument
with the feeling of caste.
Mr.. Leger is really very accom-
plished and charming gentleman. He is
rather small of stature with finely CHS
eled, delicate face, and manner sug-
gestive OF refinement. There is not a
feature Of his face that betrays his Afri-
can ancestry, and his complexion is
hardly dark enough to distinguish him
from any one of the Central or South
American diplomats. But there are
scores of negroes in Washington, fully
as accomplished, with greater share
of Caucasian blood and in no respect
his inferior, who would be refused a
seat in the dining-room of any hotel
in the city.

the princess, bewildered and uncertain.
