Foot.

One Of the most attractive inmates Of
the White House is Slippers" a middle
aged feline, who not only possesses six
toes on each foot, but has always been an
ardent apostle Of the Presidents anti-race
suicide doctrine.
On Christmas day slippers presented
10 her young friends at the White House
two kittens. one a male. the other fe-
male. In view Of the fact that the new
arrivals had chosen so suspicious day for
their advent into a cold, but CHEEKY world,
the younger members Of the President
family determined that he should name
them The tiny felines were wrapped in a
warm blanket and conveyed 10 the pres
ence Of the President. who was working
over letters or messages, and with all due
fOrmality he was asked 10 bestow suitable
names on slippers Christmas present.
Delighted, my dear children" replied
the President. Then addressing himself
graveIy TO the squirming little cats, he
said IN solemn tones.
My young feline friends, by Executive
order, you shall hereafter be known, re-
spectively, as Maria and Bellamy.'

HENGELMULLER WILL REMAIN
Austrian Ambassador Declares He
viii Not he Retired.


Relative to the recent reports that he
would retire from his present post, Baron
Hengelmuller the Austrian Ambassador,
yesterday authorized this statement:
The Ambassador did not hesitate 10 give
the news of his impending retirement the
most emphatic and unqualified denial. He
expressed his establishment as to how
such a silly and malicious invention
could have originated. He has jJst re
turned from a three weeks visit in
Budapest. where he had enjoyed the daily
and familiar intercourse of all his COM
patriots Of note in the official and par
liamentary world. Not only was the pos
sibility of his retirement never preached
or limited at. but all his conversation with
regard TO Austvo-Hungarian concerns in
America We're based o. the supposition
of his prolonged stay here. The Ambas-
sador has been twelve years at his pres
ent post During this period six govern
ments have succeeded each other in Hun
gary.
From all Of them he has received ex-
pTessions Of thanks and acknowledgement
for his services, which he treasures as

country, on which occasion he received
the congratulations Of all classes Of his
countrymen. In the face Of these facts,
he would only say that the "discontent
Of Magyar political circles" mentioned in
press dispatches has been remarkably well
hidden from him. and had certainly been
expressed in the most unusual way.
With regard 10 the statement Of a
forty-ye3r term Of Office. the Ambassador
remarked that there is no limit of age or
time in the Austrian or Hungarian service

ties an official 10 retire with fun pay. but
do not make his retirement obligatory.
On the other hand, the government may

Jackson. who is employed at the White
House and happened TO be at the sta
ton, was directed TO make haste back 10
the mansion and bring the gun back
with him.
Jackson complied literally with his in
structions, for he knew it was nearly time
for the train TO leave. He was riding at
a scOTching pace down Pennsylvania ave
nue. on his bicycle, with the gun in one
hand, when he was overhauled after a
long chase by Bicycle Policeman Shelby.
He told the officer that he was employed
at the White House, and that he had been

cal, but accompanied Jackson 10 the rail-
way station, where he saw the rifle de-

the policeman He told Shelby that he
was TO be commended for dciug his duty,
and assured the policeman that he would
attend to the matter upon his return from
Virginia. The President said his son was
the cause OF the trouble, and if anybody
was to be arrested it should be Archie
But Archie, he said jokingly, was an in
dispensable member Of the party. and

Used that the matter would be settled upon
his return from Pine Knot
