Thousands ot gift, from millionaire
and laboring man. constantly remind
President WHn that, though he is con
stitutionally precluded from receiving
presents from prince, potentate or for
tlgn power, the people of hte own coun
try do not forget him. In unending pro
cession the gifts have come. In all sorts
ot packages grotesque gtfu have poured
in upon him. A start 01 ciema i ,
White House spend no small part of each
day In properly receiving and acknowl
edging them and. perchance, returning
them with thanks.
The stream of gifts to the new presi
dent started on the day ot his Induction
Into office. It will continue with more or
less intermlttency until the day he ceases
to be president of the United States. The
gifts are m&rhed by a catholicity of
iholce that Is truly amazing-.
These unknown friends of the chief ex
ecutive do not confine the mediums by
which the gifts are sent to any one car
rier; In fact, the methods chosen to send
them, large and small, are olraoit as va
ried as Is posilble
A favorite method la the old and tried
"pereonal mesBenger" plan, whereby
strenuous attempts are made to deliver
the gift In person. The proposed donor.
?r his agent, will search the very heavens
as well as the earth to find a plausible
axeuse to get by the watch dogs of the
secret service und Secretary Tumulty
and tako the "little token of affection
mihI esteem" to the pretldent In person.
Visitors with suspicious-looking bulges
about their clothing have been stopped
on the White House grounds by the
police or secret service men. They have
been taken to one side for examination
and a harmless article has been taken
from Its hiding place within their cloth
ing. On questioning ,they have admitted
It was Intended aa a gift to the president.
They usually drop the fact that they
were attempting to reach the president
through some pretext in order to deliver
It themselves and personally recelvo the
thanks of the chief executive.
If the distance Is too great for the
giver to reach Washington or if he has
no acquaintance here, or If he cannot pre
vail upon his congressman to present the
gift for him It will be reluctantly trusted
to the tender mercy of the express com
panies or the malls. During the 'present
administration tho favorite method of
sending the smaller articles to tho White
House has been by parcel post. Larger!
packages from unknown senders are al
ways opened at a safe distance from the
executive rooms to provide against un
pleasant possibilities.
Stream" of Cnrlnna Tiling-.
The nature of the gifts varies In such
a way that the president might possess
a good start toward collecting a museum
of curiosities or even establishing a
zoological, park. Pamphlets and books
enough to furnish a goodslzed library
accumulate every few weeks. Just for
sake of variety a mud turtle sent by ad
mirers on the eastern shore of Maryland
was found, carefully wrapped, in the
morning's mall one day not long ago.
The reptile had not been harmed in any
way and was immediately turned loose
In the expanse of the White House
grounds, where he may thrive for many
years. A vast number of pamphlets aro
received, many of them autographed by
the authors. They deal with every sub
ject under the sun. from giving sure
cures for animal distempers to furnishing
a cure for all social and political evils,
the same being duly guaranteed by the
author. It is remarked by the force at
Saturday the Last Day

Most of them are autographed, and It the
photograph Is a croun niptum
of the persons are duly Inscribed on tho
back. The sending of photographs of
large families, started in a previous ad
ministration, nil! continues, and the new
president wai greeted with an array of
likenesses that plainly Indicated race sui
cide was not Imminent, at least in many
quarters.
Secretary Tumulty, on account of the
size of his family, also Is favored with a
number of photographs of family groups.
There Is a groat deal of human Interest in
a large ramiiy. and it mn h.
- - w nuuniivi
that these photographs recolve much
scrutiny at the White House.
Blblen come In lanrn nnmti.r. T.r
cf the books received are valuable, some
oi mem oewg Highly prized by the presi
dent, who Is notably a lover of books.
But the vast majority of them are stored
In the White House attic, where they will
remain until nnai disposition Is made of
them.
The stories printed concerning the
prowess of the president as a hlnvrilit
caused his malls to be temporarily flooded
with books upon that sport, with no small
number or advertisements of different
makes of wheels In their wake. Golf
books and golf balls aro commonW r.
celved.
Recently a dollar bill was returned to
a woman from South Dakota. The bill
was old, crumpled, and the letter accom
panying It pathetio In the extreme. It
told of the suffering and privation of the
giver In skimping and saving from her
smsll living the dollar she sent to be
put to home good use. A polite note from
the president's secretary accompanied tho
money when It was returned, stating that
the woman could put the money to a
better use than could the nation's chief
executive.
Following the fixed policy at the White
House, if any gift seems to have any
Intrinsic value, or If it is money, it hi
promptly returned to the sender, as the
president refuses to receive contributions
that obviously possess particular valuo.
Nor will the president want for canes
or umbrellas that Is, It he will but use
some of a number sent him. The most
unique Idea In the way of a cane wss
one sent from a small town In California.
The enterprising aspirant for the post-
office appointment in the town in order
to get ahead ot the opposition conceived
the idea of sending his request with a
cane. 80 an elaborate stick was made ot
vari-colored walnut woods. The head
was hollowed, and with tho cano came
a note to the president asking him to
unscrew the head of the walking stick
and find therein the name ot the proper
candidate for the place.
Should President Wilson ever decide to
start a museum he would have some
real curious, with which to begin. Re
cently he received a piece of cannon bait
found in the streets ot Norfolk, V, the
donor stating that tho shell was a part
of the farewell shot sent by a British
sloop when Virginia was (evocuated by
the British.
Other curios received are pieces of wood
from hUtorlo buildings and from old ves
itls. Many times these relics are sent
him by societies that object to the build
ings being torn down, or to the ships be
lng destroyed. And with them come a
request for him to exert his influence In
saving the retlc for future generations.
He recently received a piece of lace made
from wood, laboriously cut by hand from
a large block, and a nicely embroidered
dolly.
The present administration will have
splendid luck, and every success, If the
Immense numbers of four-leafed clovers
sent In presage anything. Flowers of all
varieties are received at the White House.
In many cases they are not properly
packed and, consequently, are badly with
ered. A large bunch of violets, sent from
a southern state, however, was so well
preserved that It served to brighten the
White House offices for some time.
The fad of sending egg by parcel post
is well known at the White House, where
numerous packages of them are received,
usually In dozen lots. The eggs carry In
good shape, although It la doubted
whether Mr. Wilson ever breakfasts on
them. Considerable real maplo suear
from the New ISngland states has been
received, some of which, It la said about
the executive offices, found Its way to
the White House table.
The champion cheesemakcr of each sec
tion of the country Is constantly enrich
ing the Whtto House collection with con
trtbutions ot prise varieties. Butter
makers come In for a letter of thanks
when they forward to the president a
pound or two of their best product, while
the champion breadmakers from different
parts of the country have gone so far
as to offer to go Into the White House
kitchens and show by actual demonstra
tion that the loaf forwarded from an
Iowa or a Maine kitchen la genuine.
Although It is too early for the various
fairs over the country to bn sending In
the prize pumpkins, corn and other farm
products, yet price apples and other
nil to already have reached the White
House from routhern states, some very
good vegetables from Texas being a re
cent consignment.
On the lame day came a couple of
sweater from Massachusetts and a box
of cigars from the Philippine Islands.
Chewing gum sent from well known fac
torial would be sufficient to furnish di
version to the entire pretldentlal family,
should It so desire.
As soon as It was announced that no
wine was to bo served at the Wllion table
numberless letters poured In upon the
president, and a good many gift. Ono
of them was a quart of orange mar
malade, which was placed In whisky
glomes, the donor naively remarking that
It was the best use to whloh the glasses
could be put.
Just to keep the matter from getting
monotonous, a pin cuchton was received
from a little girl who said that she was
a cripple and was kept Indoors a great
deal; she hoped he would appreciate the
oushlon, which she had made herself.
What to do with the Btfts becomes a
pressing problem, where room Is at a
premium. Were they all retained, tho
Whlto House would eventually become a
storage house. Hence, they mutt be dls
pqsed of as fast as practical. Many of
the books and maps have a read value,
and ure forwarded to the proper depart
ment or to the library of congress.
Others are worthless and promptly con
signed to the furnace. A very, very few
are kept, Wellington Star.
