THE WHITE HOUSES
BIG And LITTLE
An Interesting Description Of the
Buildings Where our Strenuous
President Lives and Works.
by Martha L. Schneider, Washington, d. c l

lBy Martha L. Schneider, Washington, D. CT
had occasion to visit the "Little
White House" the other day, and as
it was after an unusually heavy snow
storm found it almost buried in the
deep snow.
The White House is situated on a
little knoll from which the ground
slopes gently east and west. The
Little White House" or Executive
Office" was recently erected at the
west end of the esplanade that has
taken the place of the conservatory in
which the wives of the presidents de-
lighted to tend the flowers or sit with
their books or needle-work amidst its
palms and blossoms.
1t has proven impossible to make
the general public speak of the abode
of the President as the Executive
Mansion. They have loved it SO long
as the White House and as such it
will continue to be known, and the
little, one-storied squatty building
attached to it for the official use of
the President, and in which all the
executive work of his position is per-
formed will always be nick-named,
at least "The Little White House,
The front door of the White House
is closed to all except personal callers
upon the family of the president or
for social purposes, unless you can
unwind little red tape. The occasion
of my call at "the little White House"
was to obtain piece of this in the
shape of card of admission to the
parlors of the old historic mansion,
Florinda had come down for the
Inaugural and we were out sight
seeing.
The White House is constructed
of Virginia freestone. It is 40 feet
in length, Sc feet in depth and con-
sists of two stories, attic and base
ment, the latter of which is open to
the public from 10 a. m. to 2 o. m.
daily.
The north front has a portico of
lofty Ionic columns, forming a porte
cochere, and the south a colonnaded
balcony.
It was the first public building
erected in Washington and James
Hoban was the architect. He drew

thought anything of it until Thurs
day evening when neighbors going in
found the house completely filled with
coal gas which in some unaccOuntable
way had escaped from the stove in
such quantities as to overcome the
sleepers. 1t is thought that the dog,
which was also in the house, in some
way aroused the son, for ne had arisen
from the bed and fallen several times
before he completed his dressing, but
because Of the strong healthy condi-
ton of his lungs, ne was soon alright
except for weakness and trembling
and dizziness which lasted for a day
or so. The doctor was Immediately
summoned and Mr.. Bennett was soon

PIONEER GONE
Charles n. Bennett Dies at His
Home In This City on Sunday
Evening".

"He is gone!' was the answer re.
turned to anxious inquirers by lip
and telephone on Sunday evening,
and the terrible suspense that had for
three days been on the hearts of the
many loving friends of Charles H.
Bennett was at an end. The love,
the care the prayers of friends and
neighbors had not availed, the atten-
ton and skill of physicians had failed.
The voice of God had sounded forth,
the spirit was freed from the tired
body and borne to its maker. Seldom
if ever has so sad an event taken place
in our city. Our hearts are bowed
down. Last June Mrs. Bennett who
has been an invalid for several years
with throat trouble, was induced to 60
to her daughters home in Spokane
for the benefit of a change of climate,
the breaking up of the home and the
separation was hard for both husband
and wife, but each bore it because it
was best.
In November Mr.. Bennert went to
Spokane to spend few months with
his dear ones, where joyful reunion
and happy visit was enjoyed. Feel
ing that business called him back he
returned on the 10th of this month.
Unfortunately the weather turned ter
ribly cold during the journey and
coming through Montana he took a
heavy cold which settled on his lungs.
He paid but little attention to it for a
few days but on the following Wednes-
day he called DR.. kirghis who gave
him something to loosen the cold and
no fears were entertained by anyone.
On Wednesday night he went to bed,
his son Charlie occupying the same
room to care for him. Nothing was
seen of them on Thursday but no one

unfurnishee or close them to visitors
Aroom can be made beautiful and
attractive with little furnishings, and
with polished wood floors and walls
of artistic colorings these rooms
would need but few pieces of
furniture in good taste to become a
delight to the eye and convey more
pleasing impression to the visitor
with a love for the beautiful, than
they do at present.
Ii they intend to convert this part
of the White House into a museum,
as the cabinets containing china
formerly in use by Presidents in
dictates, let it contain only those relics
that have some artistic value as we'll
as historical associations.
The floor of the first room is partly
covered by half worn out carpet,
embroidered, patched, stained; carved
| black ebony furniture upholstered in
OLD gold brocade matching the carpet
4 in color. On the walls are enlarged
photographs of President Roosevelt
and party among the Red trees OF
| California.
Room No. 2 has a green carpet in
the center of the floor. The furniture
in this room represents one of the
worst periods of American efforts al
"art furniture" when a wave Of
ugliness swept over the country and
threatened to destroy all that was
harmonious and beautiful. This sci
of Old furniture is made of dark wal
nut inlaid with scrolls and bands and
splashes Of gold paint and is covered
with magenta colored satin, heavily
trimmed with tasseled fringe in the
worst possible taste. Oh, we shade OIL
William Morris enter not here!
! The room under the Blue room
contains the famous old crimson anC
gold furniture and this room is the
only one that should be open for in
spection.
81 The fourth room has a green carpe
In similar condition to the others
and some OF the pieces OF the golt
and ebony furniture.
All of these rooms have handsom,
old mirrors and are decorated with
few ferns and potted plants, and al
the windows are undraped except thu
oval room.

pend three massive crystal chande

clearly demonstrates how little full

pneumonia were seen which caused
double alarm on account Of the i'm
poverish he'd condition of his lungs from
the gas poisoning. The oldest son,
Ed, arrived Saturday morning from
WahpetOn, \. D., and after consulta-
ton with the physicians he decided
to telegraph for the mother and sister,
which had been deferred untilall hope

frail condition. All day Sunday was
fought hard battle between life and
death. Only at intervals could MIR.
Bennett speak, then he would utter
the names Of his dear ones. His sons
stood over him doing all in their
power and bearing the terrible. trying
ordeal with the calmness Of strong,
brave. hearted men. Mr.. Bennett was
in the full possession of his senses to
the very last, recognizing those who
spoke to him. Several times he said ,
son, mamma, mamma" but when
asked if he wanted her sent for always
replied, son no, don't let her know,
'twould worry her so." He never
knew the telegram was sent. He for
got himself to spare his loved wife.
There was no pain except the labored
breathing. The relatives present with
some of the close church friends, the
physician and Father O'Counor went
through the prayers and services for
the dying. The breath grew shorter
and shorter, and when the end came
it was as if a leaf had loosened from
its stem and slowly hoated down until
it rested upon the earth with those
gone before. Not a struggle, not a
gasp-a beautiful. peaceful death.
Mr.. Bennett was a man, highly es.
teemed by all who knew him and
much beloved by those who were for.

and neighbors, while the love of his
immediate family for him amounted
almost to worship. He was modest
and unassuming, gentle and cour.
teous, always seeing the good in his
fellow men and ready to excuse what
to others seemed faults.
Said a neighbor as she stood looking
at the peaceful face, Nothing is too
good to say of Mr.. Bennett, his good
ness cannot be exaggerated. Said
another, "Oh, how We all loved him. -
To the little ones in the neighborhood
he was "Dear Uncle Bennett" His
place can never be filled in the hearts
of his friends. 1t will remain sacred
to his memory.

Morton Boss, arrived on Tuesday
mornings flyer. They were met by
Father O'Connor, Mrs. Hogan and
the two sons, Edmund and Charles
When in the carriage the sad news
was conveyed to them and while their
hearts were nearly broken, they were
able to bear up in a wonderful manner.
They had hoped to be in time for a
parting word from the dying loved
one, but this was denied them. Low
ing friends gave the last words left
for them and the Merciful Heavenly
Father comforted them. Mr.. Morton
Boss arrived Wednesday over the
Northern Pacific. The love Mr.. Ben
nett bore for his son-in-law was Sc
cond only to that he gave his own
children. While the stricken wife
must carry this heavy weight Of sOr-
rows in large measure alone, yet
these three strong brave boys and her
noble, self-sacrifcing daughter will
help her as only love can help.

Every mother should study her daughters health.
 Not merely from the outside, but also from the inside.
 A girl. remember. does not always realize that there Is something the matter with her, when she Is merely listless. colorless and appetiteless.
 But you, as mother, should.
 You should understand that these seemingly slight symptoms are signs of an alarming condition of your daughters health.
 She lacks vitality. She is losing her hold on life.
 The flame of her lamp is burning low.
 The least little disease. cold, measles. scarlet fever. typhoid, appendicitis, may extinguish it.
 Only one thing to do.
 Supply fresh fuel for her vital flame by giving her Wine of Cardui. medicinal vitalizing tonic, will do her nothing but good, however young she may be.
 It is a pure, pleasant preparation. It contains no salycilic or boracic acids. or other preservations likely to injure the digestive organs, but every single ingredient has its value in re- storing the vital forces to sick girls and women.
 If your daughter Is thin, pale. weak, unable to stand much work or play, listless, tired, expressionless and seem- she needs Wine of Cardui to build her up.
 If she is nervous. irritable, highly strung. excitable a creature of moods and habits, has twitching of the eyes. face. muscles, fingers arms legs or feet, studies too hard, etc, she needs Wine of Cardui to relieve that high strung tension on her nerves.
 uIA aT1RP fn ache. neuralgia. backache. dragging down sensations, monthly abdominal pains, etc, she needs Wine of ,Cardui to relieve the pain and cure the weak ness which causes the pain.
 In short. for. growing girls. Wine of Cardui Is a necessity, whenever there Is the least sign of vital weakness or nervous trouble.
 It is the finest tonic and builder that was ever prepared for sick girls
 Girls who exhaust their brain and nerve force by over study, or who are weak from childhood up, will never be fit for wifehood or motherhood.
 Mothers should realize that their first duty to their growing daughters is to fit them for life's pleasures, duties and trials.
 Experience. in a million cases, proves the truth of what we say, viz: that Wine of Cardui will do what cannot be done by any other food. medicine or treatment.
 It will build up nerve and vital force. of girls and women. relieve all their pain and suffering, enrich their blood. create new bone and sinew, and make a frail, pale, thin creature. of ghostly appearance, a magnificent woman, with the bounding pulse, blushing cheek strong nerves, sparkling eye and beautiful figure, of perfect vitality and health.
 Build your daughter with Wine of Cardui, and do not forget that 1t Is as good for you as for her.
