THE WHITE HOUSE MINT BED.

Now. to resume the discussion of that
mint bed. Has the colonel preserved any
memoranda of the particular dates when
he made use of the mint as an lngredl-
ent of the julip? Also, has he preserved
any record of how those six julips per
annum were grouped $50 to speak! Dld
he bunch them altogether. or did he take
them in installments of two or three
or several at one time? Or did he take
them at regular intervals of two months.
Not idle questions these. If we knew the
dates of the julips, the potency Of that
part of each that was not mint. and the
intervals between them, it would be
worth something to the future historian
and might be worth gold II the w. {.
Il. u. having the dates and the numbers
it would be easy to collatc them with
contemporaneous happenings III and
around the White House. Much interest
ing history and exc much sound phil
osophy. might be evolved from a knowl-
edge of the relation of the julips to cur
rent events.
For it is said by knowing ones that
the mint iulip properly prepared, though
seductive and persuasive to the palate.
has a potency unsupported by the more
amateur in julips. Also it is admitted
that the colonel is an amteur. Hence
when the iulip and the amateur, and
history, all happen TO ~foregather, as it
were, in the personality of the amateur
there might be some relation among the
three discernable by the philosophic
mind. Wherefore, let Congress investl-
gate the White House mint bed. and dis
cover if possible. what connection there
is between it ana American history.
