He often, however, confines his excursions to the grounds in the rear of the White House. In these he has & favorite tree—a grand old oak, from whose leafy fastnesses he finds safe shel- ter from the big bears (which his illus- trious father would have been so glad to get not so very long since), with which, and other terrible creatures, his fancy fills the park. Or anon he descends from his covert, and mounting his steed gives chase to the wild Indians with which his vivid imagination peoples the grove. A free and happy life is that of the White House children. They are given every op- portuLity to learn to love an outdoor life to make them worthy scions of the fllus- trious citizen whose rugged personality stands before the world to-day as repre- senting the highest type of American manhood. There s approximately an acre of ground about the stables and, except for the space in the immediate vicinity of the buildings, this is divided off by a brush tence into paddocks.
