SCOFFERS At COOLIDGE ssHORSE"
NOV W4NT ELECTRIC STEEDS
Drop Sarcasm, on Learning Rockefeller, Sch,oab
and Other NOtabIes Take Exercise That
Wa,-$7OO Cost Stumps Some.

tho fact that one Of tho beasts costs
in the neighborhood Of 500, and not
until they are able to increase their
pay from $500 a year to $4,000 will
most Of the members feel they are
able to afford the purchase. no mat
ter how small the upkeep may prove
after the initial cost.
Might Jolt Congress- a Bit.
1t has been seriously suggested In
the best informed circles that instead
of feeding his congressional callers
on buckwheat cakes, country sau-
sage and maple sirup at the White
House breakfasts, the President
should take each caller separately
into the White House barn" and give
him good tolting on the pet pony.
1t has been stated that the electric
horse exercise is almost wholly for
the bestirrinG of a sluggish liver, and
every one in Washington will agree
that the outward appearance of Con-
gresS as whole suggests an exceed
ingly torpid one.
Meantime Secretary Slemp. who Is
enjoying himself down South. Is in
very bad with lot Of earnest White
House reporters. At a farewell din
ner rendered him he told the re-
porters that the President was keep
ing At" just like a prize fighter"
He told beautiful story OF the daily
routine at the White House, the hour
of rising. the time devoted to exer-
else, the zero hour for the beginning
of work in the executive offices.
His scenario was complete-almost.
1t contained no lurking hint of the
famous equine that has taken Its
place in White House history along
with the Roosevelt boxing gloves.
single sticks and tennis courts. The
question now is, Did Slemp know?
Some believe the dark horse was an
eclipsed equine even to the Presi-
dents most intimate official associate.
In any event, the horse Is here to stay
and a lot of other officials are going
to take 1t up.

better horse than any one of them.
The Presidents horse can do four diff
