Buren, and Arthur were widowers.
Grover Cleveland alone of the line
was married in the mansion. Tyler
lost his wife while in office, and mar
ried again, but the ceremony took
place i'll New York. Benjamin Harri-
sons wife died while he was in the
presidential chair. Mrs. Mckinley
was an invalid, as was the first Mrs.
Tyler
Andrew Jackson had a battle that
cost him more sleep probably than
did the battle of New Orleans, a
battle over the social recognition of
a certain lady while he was living in
the presidential home. The Pierces
lost son by a sad accident, and the
calamity threw a shadow over most
of their four years in the residence.
And each of the two last presidents
has had a daughter to take her place
as the first young lady of the land.
and now the new president has not
only one, but three.

Alice, being an aspirant for early
election to her sisters sorority, looked
somewhat chagrined and mentioned
casually that it was time to be going

Claribel hastily looked about for hid

SEES HE TAKES HIS MEDICINE
No Chance for Man to Escape When
Woman Is Responsible for Ad-
ministering the Dose.

Ed Howe, the famous Kansas funny

says:
When a woman has charge of a
sick man she feels as important as the
marshal of the day at country Fourth
Of July celebration, and, however anna
BILE she may be at other times, she is
very bossy when she has medicine to
give a man, or lotions to put on him;
if he wants a drink of water, she ex-
presses the opinion that he is drink
ing too much, and remembers that her
Aunt Harriets husband once drank a
great deal when he was sick, and had
commissions II the sick man becomes
impatient, and says the medicine is
doing no good. she reminds him CURLY
that time Is necessary; she has even
been known to dip into the classics
and say that Rome was not built in a
day The air of wisdom with which
she examines the doctor books con-
vinces the sick man that, however in
telligent his medical adviser may have
been, after his recovery he will be in
formed that he would have been sick
much longer had she not used her
homemade lotions. Whatever she does
at night, the doctor will agree in the
morning that it was very good.
THE sleepiest woman in the world

an unusual hour he will get it, if there

TOKEN OF ADMIRATION
BY JULIA CONWAY.

It had always been the rule in the
Crompton family for the children to
share and share alike, but when pref
ty Claribei, the eldest, received the
day after her sixteenth birthday a
beautiful basket of bonbons, token
of the admiration of youth whom she
had met while visiting in the sum
mer, she inwardly rebelled at the pros
pect of seeing the delicious sweets
melt away like the dew before the
sun. For the young Cromptons al
ways made remarkably short work of
box of candy.
Il speak first for that big piece Of
candied pineapple" said Alice as the
children gathered around Claribel to
see the delectable package opened.
Can l have some O them candied
violets, Claribel?" asked small Joe.
mo. you can't" Claribel quickly
raised the basket beyond the reach
of Joe's none too clean hand. You
can't have any, because you said,
them instead of those.
L
ate moren half the taffy bought with
the nickel dad gave me for having
my spelling paper right"
And it was the first time he ever
got a perfect mark" chimed Helen.
why, Claribel, aren't you going to let
us have any of the candy? You shut
down the basket lid with regular
forever bang"
'Mayn't have that pineapple. to put
in my lunch box?" asked Alice q
guess if you had to take an old lunch
to school every day the way l do
you'd"
No, Alice" returned Claribel with
dignity. I'm going to save this
candy"
Save it," exclaimed all the chill.

day and couldn't eat any of your birth
day candy. I think l ought to have

And get the toothache again,
scornfully remarked ClaribeL. If you
weren't such baby about going to
the dentist you could have your teeth
fixed"
Well, what good would it do if
you're always going to save your
candy?"
I'm not always going to save it,
replied Claribel in tone of martyred
patience, but this is very special

PAUL ]. RAINEY'S
AFRICAN HUNT
Full Of Exciting and Ed
uCatiOnaI Incidents

In the Paul ]. Rainey African Hunt
Pictures, which comes to the Opera
House on Wednesday, Jan Sth, matinee
and night, is shown one of the most
marvellous pictures ever taken. 1t re-
veals the trailing and killing of an
African cheetah by a pack of trained
hunting dogs. AT different times mo-
ton picture manufactures have en-
deavored to reproduce wild animal
hunts by using broken down circus
animals, but the pictures have always
been obviously manufactured and have
given no more idea of big game hunt
than a autographed poster on a wall.
The picture shown as a portion OF
the Paul j. Rainey African hunt how
ever, is so obviously the real thing,
that no one ever thinks of questioning
it. In the first place, the background
of jungle peculiar to Africa only, is
shown, and then the complete hunt is
thrown on the screen, beginning with
the preparations in the camp, for tho
expedition. The men start on horse
back. The dogs at first run about at
random, but it is soon evident that
they have found the spoor, or scent,
and then they follow it so rapidly that
it was only with extreme difficulty
that the motion picture operator,
mounted on horseback, is able to keep
up with them and secure his picture
Finally the leopard, or cheetah, as he
is called in Africa, is shown in the top
branches of a high tree. He at first
seems determined to await his pursu
ers there, but his courage fails at the
last and he leaves the tree, and runs
for about half mile until he is again
compelled to take refuge in an acacia
tree, This time the dogs are so clos
that he cannot escape and they sur
round the tree.
Then the most wonderful portion Of
the picture is shown, and at the same
time a remarkable example of the
courage of the dogs Two plucky
little Airdale terriers, after making
repeated attempts, finally succeed in
reaching the lower branches of the
tree by jumping. From there they
climb with agility of monkeys to the
top, where the leopard is crouched,
awaiting them Although less than
fourth the weight and strength of
the leopard, the attack him so tiercly
that after a brief fight he leaps to
the ground where the ether dogs in
the pack pounce upon him and the figh
is soon over. All of this is shown
graphically on the screen and often
excites the audience to such point
that they rise in their seats and cheer.
Mr. Rainey is the only big game hunt
err to prove that the lion and leopard
can be hunted successful with dogs
and il is probable that from now on all
invaders of the big game country in
British East Africa will carry along 4
pack of hunting dogs with them.-Adrt.

Mansion Is Now Complete.

Then in 1902 there was begun the
White House improvements which
have resulted in the mansion Of to-
day becoming almost precisely what
the presidents house was intended
to be by those who made the original
plans for it, 1t was necessary to re-
lieve the residence of the necessity
of being headquarters for the bust
ness of the executive An office an
mex was built and thus the disflgur-
ing additions to the mansion could be
taken away.
The original plans were studied
for the restoration of the residence
itself. and the buildings of the Uni
versity of Virginia. planned by JEFF,
ferson, were investigated A dining
room was provided in which 100
guests might be entertained. Space
for the comfortable housing of such
family as that of Woodrow Wilson
was secured. And finally, in 1912,
the Office building has been enlarged
and reconstructed, so that the new
president will have such family &C.
commodations as many Of his prede'
cessors sighed for in vain.
The story of the successive White
House families has much of pictur.
esque variety. Not always has the
mistress been the wife of the presi-
dent. Buchanan was a bachelor; he
had been disappointed in love as a

II
kAk been elected president of the
W United States, but, what is fully
4 as important in the estimation
of multitudes of Americans,
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, and Miss Mar
garet Wilson, Miss Jessie Wilson and
Miss Eleanor Wilson will move into
the White House next March.
The place of the ladies of the White
House has been kept before the coun-
try almost as prominently through all
these years as has that of the presi-
dent himself. Eternally questions of
precedence and etiquette have come
forward. The public has wanted to
know all about the daily life and the
domestic doings of the presidential
family, the housekeeping woes of the
mistress of the mansion and her be
havior at the official receptions; the
tastes and habits of all the feminine
members Of the family, and withal
there have been at times little tales
of boudoir plots and parlor intrigues,
although the history of the United
stairs kind of gossip that has played
a large part in the histories of the
nations of Europe.
Abigail Adams, First Mistress.
The wife of the first president did
not live in the White House of course
Abigail Adams of Quincy, Mass,
was the first mistress of the mansion,
although in her time it was a mansion
in the making. and the finishing
seemed to her very far away indeed
1t was she who used the great. un-
finished audience room" as a place in
which to dry the family wash.
Dolly Madison was almost as much
mistress of the mansion in Jeffersons
time as in that of his successor, her
husband, and it was she who saved
the one piece of the original furnish
ings which is this day in the presiden-
tial residence When the British
burned the house in 1914 the redoubt-
able Dolly managed to carry away
the portrait of Washington which
hangs now over the mantel in the Red
room.
1t has taken long time for the
mansion to approach completion, and
no sooner was it finished than it was
destroyed by the ruthless hands Of the
English soldiery.
The building which succeeded the
first residence was a faithful repro
duction in forms and dimensions of
the plans drawn by the original ar
chitect, Mai. Hoban The very foun-
datious and part of the outside walls
are relics of the building which went
in fire in 1914.
