turns to Wash
ington from his
great swin j
around the circle
lie will find his of
fices in tho west
wing of the White
House largely ex
tended In fact so
much space has
been utilized in making this change
that the famous tennis court which
supplied local color to all anecdotes of
the previous administration has been
wiped out of existence Where exult
ant cries of Fifteen love Thirty
love aud Forty love were cracked
y the teeth of the mighty hunter and
minor notes of Love iifteen Love
thirty and Love forty came pur
ringly from his respectful antagonists
of tho tennis cabinet there will here
after be heard only the quiet tones of
President Taft dictating state papers
and challenges to games of comforta
ble golf
The new addition which is to cost
in the neighborhood of r0000 will
give the president and his staff twice
the space of the original wing The
old oflices which were designed by the
New York architects McKiin Mead
White cost about UO000 The three
forward walls of that old building are
utilized unchanged in the new design
by the Washington architect Nathan
C AVyeth and that enables the dou
bled lloor space witli the remodeled in
terior to be secured at the compara
tively small cost already mentioned
There will be eleven rooms in the

HOUSE ADDITION
tures while far from luxurious in any
oriental sense will be correspondingly
improved
The greatest change effected by the
new plans is in the presidents room
Instead of the severe rectangular room
with its bare valls and distressing at
tempt at an oil paintinir of Lincoln
that formerly constituted the presi
dents sanctum there will now be a
room in the form of an oval an oval
that on the southern exposure fits
without a broken line into a deep bay
window Avhere the presidents desk
will stand
With all its colonial simplicity and
such simplicity was made necessary
by the predominating note in tho lest
of the White Ilouse it is evident that
this is the room on which Mr JVyeth
has spent most time The color scheme
will be green and white with mahog
any furniture At the end opposite the
bay window will be a handsome fire
place of white marble with a wide
hearth of the same material
The cabinet room will have windows
on two sides Its tables and chairs
will be identical with those in use
since March 4 as there is a custom by
which the cabinet officer takes with
him on leaving office the chair he used
at the executive council The room it
self will be in gold and yellow The
tradition in regard to the furniture of
the cabinet room makes impossible
any sentimental suggestions such as
obtain in the details of the presidents
room Thus Mr Tafts long service
in the Philippines is symbolized in the
coverings of carab io skin
In the old building there was no
waiting room of any sort and senators
diplomats representatives and cabinet
officers were herded together in a very
ordinary lobby In the new building
this lobby will be retained with prac
tically undiminished size but in addi
tion there will be a general waiting
room with the proper equipment of
seats and tables while a congressional
waiting room will be set apart for con
gressmen and dignitaries of all sorts
The AVhite Ilouse is a federal de
partment like the treasury or the de
partment of state and in
a business way is con
ducted on that sort of
basis It employs a staff
of about thirty clerks
without counting messen
gers watchmen etc and
requires a good deal of
space for tho accommoda
tion of its working force
Mr Roosevelts notion of
the size of the building
required for the purpose
was an underestimate and the plans
adopted were not such as to make for
comfort or convenience hence the
changes now being made which will
convert the structure into a very hand
some affair though of only one story
and provided with every imaginable
equipment appropriate to a modern
office building

PASSENGER ELEVATORS
Their Invention Mado the Modern
Skyscraper Possible
It is certain that the earliest and the
most indispensable of the factors which
have enabled the construction of the
mighty skyscrapers of today was the
passenger elevator and that this was
brought into use during the sixties of
the last century its first appearance
in New York being in the Fifth Ave
nue hotel It was at about the same
time introduced into the Astor Ilouse
then already a generation old So ob
vious was the utility of this device
that the wonder again is that It iiad
not been brought into practice long be
fore Lloirts are of course as old as
the Dutch warehouses of which the
plcturesqueness is enhanced by the
projecting cranes that worked the
hoists doubtless as old as Archimedes
Cut hotels even when the Fifth Ave
nue was built were conditioned in al
titude as were all other buildings not
exclusively monumental by the pow
ers of ascension of the unassisted hu
man leg Five stories was the max
imum for commercial buildings except
that an nttical sixth might be added
for the discommodation of the janitor
whose name was Ilobson and who had
to go where he was sent which nat
urally was where no paying guest
could be induced to go He and his
may have taken their outlook on life
from slits or bullseyes just under the
roof In the cases of hotels the sixth
story was assigned to servants and
storerooms Tenants or inmates could
not be induced to climb more than
four flights of stairs and grumbled
grievously in the case of inmates of
hotels and accused the hotel clerk of
perfidy when they had to climb so
many A device which would make
all the floors even of a five story hotel
equally accessible and so equally de
sirable was a device very sure of im
mediate adoption so sure that the only
wonder was that the supply of it
should have so lagged behind the de
mand The beginnings of the eleva
tors were it is quite true ihe begin
nings also of what in their earlier
stages were known as the elevator
buildings Scribners Magazine
EXHILARATING SPORT
Dog Driving Over the Ice and Snow of
Labrador
Winter driving with a team of a
dozen dogs is declared by Dr Grenfell
of Labrador to be the most fascinating
sport ever enjoyed by man His de
scription of it as quoted by James
Johnstone in his book Grenfell of
Labrador is as follows
Although there is no harder work
when driving over a rough country
yet the bracing cold the exhilarating
brightness of the reflected light from
the snow the difficulty of getting bad
ly hurt however sharply one shoots a
mountain side or even tumbles over a
cliff the absence of damp or moisture
the fact that one can travel anywhere
in soft light moccasins aud in such
clothing as is most conducive to agil
ity without any reference to conven
tionality all help to vanquish any re
alization of labor on a long trip
There is infinite scope for skill in
choosing tending and training your
dogs also for both pluck and physical
strength in driving and all the craft of
the woodsman is called for in crossing
miles of virgin country where at any
time any wrong turn will surely mean
a night in the open and perhaps a
temperature of 40 degrees of frost
Dog driving also teaches one whjt
boxing is said to teach self control
for of all the trials of temper one can
be called on to endure the worst is
given a glorious day for traveling and
when one is in a hurry to have ones
dogs run wild listening to nothing
not watching anything but tangling
with every stump and tree and biting
at everything that comes in the way
As one man told me when I asked
him what kind of a team he had Is
had to give em up sir though I loved
they well enough Good dogs be that
wild it is too hard for to he a handlin
of em and be a Christian too sir

NOW MRS GABRILOWITSCH
Mark Twains Daughter Wife of the
Famous Pianist
Mark Twain once remarked tint
next to apple pie he loved music iinl
he is especially fortunate In this re
spect He not only has a daugltcr
with a remarkable voice but it- e tly
became the father-in-law of one f th
greatest pianists of the day The new
member of the Clemens family is 0i
Gabrilowitsch the famous Husjiii
musician who has toured this country
and Europe
It was while he was studying mucM
in Vienna tint he met the daughter of
the humorist who was also studying

jirs ossn GAimriiOWiTScir
in that country and of that meeting
the recent wedding ceremony was the
culmination When Mr Gabrihiwitsch
suffered a serious illness last spring
and lay helpless Miss Clemens attend
ed him and to her loving ministrations
and care he attributes his recovery
Mark Twain is very proud of his tal
ented daughter and her engaging per-
I sonality is largely due to the influence
of a doting father and a watchfui
mother in this connection the de
scription once given by Twain of the
relations of his children and their
mother who has been dead several
years has a special inteiest
The mother of my children adores
them there is no milder term for it
and they worship her thoy even wor
ship anything which the touch of her
hand has made sacred They know
her for the best aud truest friend the
have ever had or ever shall have thej
know her for one who never did them
a wrong and cannot do them a wrong
who never told them a lie nor tin
shadow of one who never deceived
them by even an ambiguous gesture
who never gave them an unreasonable
command
