The Christmas demand on stock

Thus they have passed beyond tn.

they can speed up service consid.

Benjamin Harrison enjoyed his
last White Mouse Christmas with
his daughter and grandchildren. In
that year, 1892, Christmas came on
Sunday, and the tree was erected in
the library. At I o'clock IN the
afternoon the President and all the
rest Of the household assembled to
hear little Benjamin and Mary re-
cite German pieces taught them By
their soverness, Fraulein Hemps
Mary rscited the invocation to the
Christ ehild, while Benjamin gave
an address to his grandfather
which he may or may not have
understood. However, the President
appeared to be very much pleased at
the efforts Of the children.
Speaking Of this event at the
time, The Star said:
The Christmas tree at the White
House was . great success, and
the Presidents grandchildren were
transported by their gifts. Young
Benjamin Mckee received . gor-
geously painted sled from the Pres

of real baby furniture, the bed quite
big enough for little Mary Lodge
Mckee: q dressing case, with the
glass just high enough for her to
peep into and arrange her front
hair, and the cutest little wash
stand, with all the toilet appliances,
all from Mrs. Harrison, to her tiny
granddaughter. A set Of lambs
wool muff and tippet for little Mary
is lying near and q steam engine,
fitted out with every modern applt-
ance, and which will chase around
