WASHINGTON , Dec. 20. Santa Claus at
tlio white house ! How Ills reindeer sledges
gallop over the root and how his pack goes
easily down the great chimneys. He has vis
ited the place so often that 'ne knows just the
easiest way to the second floor , where the
babies Bleep , and down further to the room
btlow , where the Christmas tree stands , and
to the wood flreplac ? , about which the stock
ings of big Huth and little'Esther hang. He
stops a moment on the way and takes a peep
at Father Cleveland. Tno president Is sleepIng -
Ing soundly , his rotund form making a moun
tain of the beJ clothes. Ho lies upon his
back , and the night lamp on the table casts a
sickly glow over his worn features. He looks
weary and old , for the troubles of the ofllce
seekers and the cares of state have followed
him to btd. As Santa Clans looks at him his
laughing eyes grow berlous. Ho whispers to
himself I'llut such a face will never do for
uniiBimus muniiiiK , uuu mm lecu wuimi
move the softer from the snow upon them
lie- steps to the sldo of the sleeping man and
over his doubled features he breathes his
Christmas greeting ,
"I'eace on earth ; good will to men ! "
As lie docs so the president's brow clears.
Ills soul Is filled with the. thought of Chrlst-
mascs past , and In his dreams he travo's back
to the days when as a poor preacher's son he
hung his stocking at the chimney side and
pra > ed for Santa Claus. As old Kris Krlnglo
looks , Ills own memory brings back that pic
ture of Innocence and faith , and his heart
feels ( Aen more tender than before , as he
throws a kiss at little Huth and Esther , who
are sweetly sleeping In an adjoining room ,
and prepuies to make his way through the
fireplace down to the rooms below.
There he unloads his pack. Ho ( Ills Bather's
little stockings and stuffs with candy those
which the fut legi of little IliUh have louche ) ,
laughing as he does BO at the big stockings
which hang beside them , and which the chil
dren Imve'borrowed for tlio time of their
papa and their mamma , for fear their own
may not be largo enough. Ho decorates the
tree with dolls and toys. Ho sitings upon It
gluts balls of every hue , and with tinsel
niakca It shine like the sliver and golden
bushes of fair ) land. There are presents by
the hundreds for him to hang upon Its
have many friends , and the most famous of
our fctatesmcn bend tlic-m Christmas gifts.
SANTA CLAUS' SOLILOQUY.
At last , however , the work Is don ? and
Santa Clan * stops for rest. He Is tired ; the
night Is late , and the morning In almost
come. Ho started upon his travels when
the sand man Hut bgan to throw his dust
In sleepy .children's eyes , and this White
house visit completes his long night's work.
Ho olnku back In ( lie president's big arm
chair , Itvoku at the tree and talks. How his
words camp to me I dare- not tell , It may
have been that the toy phonograph , which
was Intended for little Huth , and \\hlch was
placed under the tree , recorded them. It lias
never worked since tben , I know , and has
tie en sent back as useless to th store from
whence It came , I can only say that every
v.ord Is true , and that the big-eyed Drounle
who guards the white bouse children heard
It all and will corroborate my statsmeiiti' .
Sad ) Santa Clam : "There , that's a goo.1
job done ! How the children will hop up and
down and , dance about that tree. How Huth
will bcream with joy and Either clap htr
hands , How I'apa Urover will grow joung
again and Mama Fiances smile. I like the
whlto house best wheu It li lllkd with chil
dren , and I hope the day of cMldlecs presi
dents lias passed away forever. How dr'urj
these room * were about eight years ago , and
bow they brightened when Mar ) and IUi- :
Jamin McKee and the little Hairlswns came
In. AVe had four good Christmas days and
four gteat trees , every branch of which was
loaded down with ilftB. ; "
BAHY M'KEG'S GREAT CHRISTMAS.
At this the Brownie Jumped from out the
tree and at down on the stool at Santa's
fest. He asked the old man questions , and
Santa Clans went on :
"The first great day for Grandpa Harrison
I mean Christmas day , of course ; there
aie no great days but Christmas the fun
began with a big tin horn , blown by Mro.
Ulmmlck. At this the white housa family
came together and Grcatgrandpa Dr. Scott
and Grandpa Hanlson formed them Into lint.
Llttlo Hen McKee and Mary walked side by
side , and In double flic the children end the
grownups marched Into this room. The toys
were not put on the trae , but piled up under
\t \ niwl Mnrv linil n dnznii drills , n tnv nlnnn
and a full doll housekeeping on fit. Ben was
most delighted with a toy steam engine ,
which ically went by steim and puffed Its
way about the room. There were presents
for the president and Mrs. Harrison and all
the white house servants , and Black Jerry ,
the butler , I remember , grinned all over
when he waf handed out an order for a
turkey and a pair of gloves. There were
games In which the 00 years old Dr. Scott
played with little Ben , and Ben and Mary
recited German poems as Christmas greet
ings to thslr grandparents. "
"What ! " said the Brownie , as his round
ejes grew big. "Babies speaking German ! "
"Yes ! " said Santa Claus. "And thepa are
just the words that little Mary said :

Then Baby McKee gave something of the
same kind to the president. It was written
out In German text , and It read something
lILo Mils'
"Molnen urosypapa ilem llpben

Here the Brownie , who evidently did not
understand Gorman , broke In. "Yes , Santa ,
that la very nice , but wasn't It miner stiff
for Chrlftmus ? "
"Yes. perhaps bo , " was the reply. "Hut It
suited the president , who , just between us , Is
A little bit stiff himself. He seldom unbends
to any one , but Baby McKee so wrapp ° < l him
self about the old man's heart that the two
made me think of "Old Abe' Lincoln and
little ' ' "
lively 'Tad.
Here the Brownie's eyes grew from pennies
Inlt ) Siiuceifl , and his round month opened
wide until It became a big , round hole In his
fat , round face , as he gasped out : "And did
yon know Tad Lincoln ? "
A STOIIY OK TAD LINCOLN' .
"Yes , Indeed , " said Santa Glaus. "I knew
him and I loved him. He wanted all other
uo > s to luvo as good times as himself , and I
remember how one stormy Clirlatinw day
hn brought a crowd of hungry , ragged news
boys to the white house- kitchens , The cook ,
u curly , blear-eyej , thin-lipped bachelor , was
lusting the Christmas turkey and hot inlnco
ple were smoking on the range , A savory
Miiell of steaming dainties floated forth and
made th boys' mouths water. But the cook ,
with anger In his eye , ra.ged at young Tad
mid tnlil him tn tnlfp liln mireed Rntlarl nuav.
How Tad's eyes flashed. He flew upstairs ,
Lint his father was not In. He found him In
the > ard , walking toward the War depart
ment and talking to Secretary S5\vaul upon
uffalrs of state , and ran to him and cried ;
"I'apa ! papa ! Isn't that our kitchen , and
: an't I bring 1'ioue poor , cold , hungiy boys
In here to eat , '
" 1're-sldcnt Lincoln stopped. Tad seized him
jy the hand and excitedly went on.
" 'I'apa , I- want those boys to have a good ,
warm dinner , They aip cold and almost
Curving , and two of them have loldler papas.
And , papa , I want to tell jou that I am going
to discharge that cook If lie don't give us

"I remember , " Santa Claus \\ent on , his
great round stomach moving convulsively
up anJ down as ho laughed within ; "I re
member how Mr , Seward smiled and how-
Tad's father's face grew tender as ho told
ilm to run alenK and feed the hungry boys.
And Tad did feed them , too ! He stuffed their
Btonmchs ful | , and as they went away he
oaded them with candy and with nuts from
Hi ? sire which I had thrust Into his own
JtoeMusa. "
CHUISTMAS IN AHTHUH'S TI.M13.
"Hnw ninny ClirUtmau mornings I've spent
le e. " Santa CUua went on. "Hero I came
u till the ftockliiKH of Nellie Arthur , when
her father was the president. She was A
sue t child , too , and It was through her that
thousands of poor children got their Christ
mas dinners. She organized a Chrlstma
club , to which the richest children of Wash
Ington bslonged , and Joined v.lth her In mak
Ing presents and in giving dinners to th
poor. 1 wonder If there will net be such
thing this ysar. Frances Cleveland , Molll
Vllaii and PauJIne Whitney , with other girls
dined 2,000 little
children in this way 01
Christmas eight years ago.
"But that was eight yearo ago ! How tlm
does fly ! " said Santa Claue , as he threw hi
great fat leg across his knee. "Now Fiance
Cleveland is a mother nnd has children of he
own. Little Pauline Whitney has grown uj
and married , and her own good mother , wh
madeto many others happy , has passed on
to that land where life Ib one long Christina
day. "
WITH GRANT AND HAYES.
His head fell slowly back until It F'IIIC !
the pack which he had hung upon the chair
He jerked it forwaid with a start , and a
his eyes flew open they caught those cf Mrs
Hayes , which were kindly looking down fron
out of a gold frame on the wall. Old Santa
blew a kiss up at the picture and went ci
talking to himself.
"There Is a woman who knew what Christ
maa was. 8he made , this 'hoube merry
every year that she waa In It , and she glad
ilened the homes of others. Every Christmas
she bought forty turkeys and gave them to
the poor. She bad her Christmas tres , am
the day was made merry with fun and games
for the children from daylight to dark. I
liked the Hayes boys , too , " Santa Claus
mused on. "Tliey were healthy fellows , anc
they did not put on airs. It was the t-une
with those Grant children. Fred and Buck
and little Nellie. What a crowd they were
and how they did mak : the old white house
ring. General Sherman usej to come here
rhrlstmns nleht. and Giant and Sheiman
joined with the clilldret In their games , the
gilz/ly Sherman always watching the mistle
toe , and claiming a kiss from every pretty
girl who chanced to come beneath It. I
always liked Sherman. Ho loved Christmas.
Ills heart was always young. He laughed
and cried when he was the nation's hero as
easily as ho did when I first filled the blue
knit socks which lie .hung up for me TO
many years'ago In his Ohio home. "
"My , " said the Brovvnle , "what a lot you
have s en , Santa. When did you first come
hre ? "
"Oh , " answered Santa Claus , "I do netlike
like to say. It makes me feel BO old ! It was
when a red-haired , freckled-faced , blue-eyed
man named Jefferson was president , now al
most 100 years ago. He had no little chil
dren , but his married daughters often came
to xee him and brought their babies with
them , I remember on ? bright Christmas day
when there were elx young children hero.
Dolly Madison , whoso husband was then In
the cabinet , preHded at the Cbnutmas dinner
and the babies , who had lees colic then than
now , stuffed their stomachs vvlh | cranberry
tarts , roast turkey , mince pies and molasses
randy ,
"Dolly Madleon was also a staunch friend
of mine. " S-inta Claus went on. "She ir/ivo
so much on Christmas that she was almobt
a Santa Claus herself. For sixteen years
she wao the mlstieps here , for she managed
the white house during the days of Jefferson ,
as well as when her husband was the pretl-
lent. She was , I think , the prettiest tnd
the kindest inlutress that this white house
ever had. Her hair was black as jet , her
eyes cerulean blue and her cheeks were as
rosy as those of that china shepherdess which
lai.go there on the trie for little nthr.
"lie- wore a gray silk turban , though she was
a Quaker girl , and her parents dresdcd In
drab. "
OKOHGK WASHINGTON'S CHRISTMAS.
"ITnw nhnllt Alnilam Wnshlnrrtnn1 mill
ho Brownie , "and little Geoige , who never
old a lie ? "
"Little George grew big long before this
louse was built , " was Santa Claus' reply ,
'And George and Martha never lived a night
\lthln It , Their Chrlstmases , when George
vas president , were spent In Philadelphia ,
New York or at Mount Vcrnon , and the
iresents were all made to the Custls babies ,
or General Washington had , you know , no
hlldren of his own. It was on Christmas
day in 1873 that Washington came home ,
fter the English were defeated and peace
eclured , On that day be took off his mill-
ary UotheH and put on the garb of a private
Itlzen , The uniform ho kept , The coat
nd breeches you may see In the National
luseum , and the viry clockings are preserved
among the relics at Mount Vernon. I've
filled them seveial times for little George
! > nd Nellie Custls. They were of silk , and
longer than the average actor's tights. "
ANDREW JACKSON'S CHRISTMAS.
"There wao another great general who was
president. I mean that tall man thorc ,
Andrew Jackson , " said the Brownie , as he
pointed to a picture on the wall.
"Yes. " replied Santa Claus , "I knew him.
I pitied him , for he had no chlldr n. Still ,
he loved children and when his adopted son
had a baby born to him he was the happiest
man In Washington. He used to nurse 'he
baby when It had the colic , and he Dm"tlmfs
whesled It up and down the east loom for
hours at a time. He had a lot of children
with him here In the white house and he

Into the fire nml saw-
there , through the smoke , the hard , ipiigh

that Christmas passed unheeded anJ presnts

As Santa Claug said this a ray ( if morning
light Jumped tlnough the window at his
back and caught the gold of tie ! little
Brownie's hair. . . It played a moment upon the
mirror of the doll's bureau which Santa hat
hung upon the tree for little Ruth , and then
In saucy mood Jumped back and put Its
fiery little flst In old Santa's eyos. Ac Santa
Claus received the blow ho blinked. He
sprang stialght to his feet and without a
word rushed up the chimney and out rnto
the roof. The Brownie heard Ills reindeers
gllop off and then ran out himself just li
time to hear the prattle of the waking chil
dren oveihead.
