very much excited over the order re-
ceived here for the equipment of all ships
at the Philippine station for protracted
service, in other words, three months at

the past week or two over the location
of letter box. The box had for a long
time been 10 front of store on the east
side Of Fairfax street, between Wolfe sHd
Wilkes, | ut it had by an accident been
broken down. When the box was again
put 10 commission ii was removed to the
opposite side of the street, and This &C
ton precipitated an issue the end OF
which Is not yet 10 sight. The gentle
man instrumental in having the box
placed on the west side Of the street drew
up petition, which received many sig
natures, praying Postmaster Burroughs
to let it remain there. The storekeeper,
equally determined to have 1t returned
to its former position in front OF bis
store, drew up counter position which
many have also signed. The bog was
taken down this morning from its new
position, but 1t has not yet known where
it will be placed.

Christmas
| at the
White House

~UNSHINE and shadows, happi-
ness and misery, have mingled
together in the celebration of
Christmas at the White House
since the days of President Adams to
the present.
Mrs. John Adams, the first mistress
of the White House, had an unpleas-
ant experience. Her husband had
taken the oath of office in %lndepend-
ence hall. Philadelphia, on the 4th of
March, 1897. and on the 10th of No
vember, 1900, came to Washington, the
White House being announced as
ready for occupancy. But the good
lady found the building anything but
ready. and in a letter to a friend she
said that not a single apartment was
finished; no fence, no yard, no conven-
ience whatever without, land the great
unfinished audience room l make a
drying room of to hang up the clothes
in. Two articles we are much
distressed for. One is bells, but the
more important one is wood. Yet you
cannot see for trees. We have used
about nine cord trying to dry the walls
of the house. Congress poured in, but

1917, when her husband became chief
executive. and along with the Christ
mas turkey. baked in the ole Nirginy'
style, outlandish dishes came into
vogue.
Although it is a matter of history
that in 1S26. about Il year after John
Quincy Adams took the oath of office
as president. congress protested against
n bill for billiard tables for the White
House, declaring billiard playing a
species of gambling and alarming to
the religious. moral and the rejecting
portion of the community" President
Adams was not a spendthrift. and it
was Il difficult matter to get him to
agree to Christmas celebrations. He
believed in great simplicity and econ
omy controlled every action of his life,
even to wearing one hat for ten years.
He was notably the shabbiest dressed
man that ever occupied the White
House. To celebrate Christmas after
the New England style was sufficient
for him, and Santa Claus did not cut
much of a figure during the four years
of Mr.. Adams administration.
President Andrew Jackson during his
two terms saw that Christmas was
celebrated after the good old style Of
Tennessee. Mrs. Emily Donelson,
whose husband was the presidents
secretary, assumed the duties of first
lady, and she was Jaekson's niece, but
he called her daughter" and she was
very fond of the sad hearted man and
was of great assistance to him in the
turbulent administration. During the
eight years the president left In the
hands of daughter" all arrangements
for Christmas.
President Lincoln took a leading
hand in all the holiday festivities.
When he entered the White House he
had three sons, but the second one,
William. died in 1862. Tad, another
son, died shortly after the assassina-
ton of his father. Like her husband.
Mrs. Lincoln believed in giving the
children all the pleasure possible, and
each Christmas found n splendid
Christmas tree laden with presents not
only for the boys, but for the employ
ees of the White House, regardless of
color.-Washington Star.
