Opposes Acceptance

Representative Ramseyer OF Iowa re-
Gently protested in the House against
the acceptance by the President OF the
set of books presented him py the
King of England as unconstitutional,
unless authorized by Congress. 9TH
er members held, however, that the
case was covered by the recent act
OF Congress, authorizing officers OF
the Army. Navy and Marine Corps TO
accept gifts from foreign governments
on the ground that the President, as
commander-in-chief, came within that
category 1t developed, in the debate.
however that the law in question ap-
piled only to military decorations.

Many Articles Received by
Him Abroad Taken to the
/. White House.

Part of the baggage OF President
and Mrs. Wilson delivered at the
White House today includes several
large boxes, containing gifts and SOU
venirs received and collected in the
various cities of England France and
Italy. Some of the gifts were pre-
scented by rulers of nations ana
others by officials and citizens of mu'
nicipalities,
The list includes valuable set OF
historical books presented by King

conclusion of his visit to England.
and unnamed -mementos from the
President of France and the King or
Italy to both the President and Mrs.
Wilson.
Have Great Intrinsic Value.
Among the gifts and souvenirs are
fine paintings, rare volumes, statuaf4'
jewelry and works of art. They weieh
hundreds of pounds and have an IN
Irinsic value of many thousand doi-
lars.
Whether Congress will be asked to
sanction the acceptance of any of the
gifts received by the President IN ms
official capacity from foreign rulers or
officials or whether they shall all he
considered as private gifts from one
person to another, remains to be deter
mined.
Some authorities contend that article
/. section 9, paragraph s. OF the Const-
tuition of the United States, may have
some bearing on the subject, but others
stoutly maintain that it has nothing 10
do with the case. That article reads as
follows:
NO title of nobility shall be grant
ed by the United States, and no per-
son holding any office of profit or trust
under them shall, without the con-
sent of Congress, accept of any pres
ent. emolument. Office or title OF any
kind whatever from any king, prince

A White House Christmas.

AtMhlte House Cnristmas'
To Master James A. Garfield, Wash
iRgton.
J1MA1K1Ns:
Among all the presents got I don't
think there wa, one appreciated
more than yours; for was brought
TO admire and respect your grand
father, and have very great fond
ness and esteem for your father. 1t
always seems to me as II you children
were being brought up the way thai
mine are. Yesterday Archie got among
his presents a small rifle from me
and pair Of riding boots from his
mother he won't be able to use the
rife until next summer, bat he has
gone off very happy in riding boots
for a ride on the calico pony Algon-
quIn, the one you rode the other day.
Yesterday morning at a quarter of sew
en- all the children were up and dress
ed and began TO hammer at the door
OF their mothers and my room, IN
which their elk STOCKING were all
bulging out with queer angles and TO
tundies, were hanging from the IRE
place. So their mother and got up
shut the window, lit the fire taking
down the stockings, of course, put on
our wrappers and prepared to admit
the children But first there was
surprise for me- also for their geod
mother, for Archie had a little Christ
mas tree of his own which he had rig
ged up with the help OF one OF the
carpenters in big closet; and we all
had to look at the tree and each OF US
got a present off of 1t. There was
also one present each for Jack, the
dog. Tom Quartz, the kitten, and AL
gonuuin. the pony whom Archie would
mo more think Of neglecting than |
would neglect his brothers and Sis
tiers. Then all the children came into
our bed and opened their stockings
Afterwards we got dressed eand took
breakfast, and then all want into the
library, where each child had q table
get for his bigger presents. Quentin
had a perfectly delightful nailroad,
which had been rugged up for him by
one of his friends, the White House
electrician, who has been very good To-
ali the children. When Ted and, /,
With General Wood and Mr.. Bob Fer
guson, who was a lieutenant in my
regiment went for three hours ride;
and all of us, including the children,
took lunch at the house with the chill
dren's aunt, Mrs. Captain cowles-
Archie and Quentin having their lunch
- /. 1;ttTa ohio With their, cousin Shef
field Late in the afternoon i played
at single stick with General Wood and
Mr. Ferguson. l am going to get your
father to come on and try it.soon. Wei
have to try to hit as light as possi hlei
but sometimes we hit hard and today
have a bump over one eye and a
swollen wrist Then all our family
and kinsfolk and Senator and Mrs.
Lodge had our Christmas dinner az
the White House, and afterwards dane
ed in the East Room, closing up with
the Virginia Reel.

Tom Quartz is certainly the cum
ningsst kitten l have ever seen. He
is always playing FRANKS on Jack and
l get very nervous lest Jack should
grow irritated, The other evening
they were both In the library-Jack
sleeping before tho fire Tom Quartz
scampering about, an exceedingly play
iul little wild creatare-whieh is about
what he is. He would race across the
floor, then jump upon the curtain or
play with the tassel. Suddenly he
spied Jack and galloped up to him.
Jack looking exceedingly sulleR and
shame faced; Jumped out Of the way
and got upon the sofa where Tom
Quartz instantly Jumped him again.
Jack suddenly shifted to the other So
ia where Tom Quartz went after him
again. Then Jack started for the
door while Tom made a rapid turn
under the sofa and around the table,
and Just as Jack reached the door
leaped on his hind quarters, Jack
bounded forward and away and the
two went tandem out of the room
Jack not reappeariRg at all; and after
about five minutes Tom Quartz stalk
ed solemnly back

of the House, Mr., Cannon, an exceed

chin whiskers, who certainly does not
