Cost of Living in White House.
L'* \
Woodrow Wilson is the second
president to receive a salary of $75,000
a year. His expenses have been
less than those of Mr. Taft, the first
to profit by the increase from $50,000.
i
p->:.
Although Mr. Wilson has been
forced to deal with many more vital
domestic and international problems
than any other president in recent
years, he finds time to look after his
personal business affairs. He receives
each month a United States
treasury warrant for $6,250 and
makes frequent visits, almost always
afoot, to a bank a few blocks from
fthe white house.
In the early days of the United
States the presidency was no place
' -* i~<lAr?or>Hont
for a man wunoui mucpouuv^,
means. The office cost the occupant
more than he got out of it, and at
least one president, Andrew Jackson,
after spending $10,000 of his owe
money, ended his term without having
enough to pay his traveling expenses
back home.
At first the salary was $25,000 a
year, regarded then as very liberal.
But as the country grew in territory
and importance the expenses of the
president increased; distinguished
visitors from foreign nations had tc
be entertained, receptions and State
dinners became frequent and other
expenses developed. The time came
when a president had to pay out
" more money than he received.
Congress, in 1873, after a long,
bitter fight, increased the salary tc
$50,000. Soon afterward congress
passed a bill reducing the pay tc
fe: $25,000 again, but President Grant
? vetoed the measure.
In those days congress provided
K no assistance in the payment of
white house bills. But there came
& gradual awakening to the financial
burdens of the presidency, and appropriations
came little by little, until
now approximately $60,000 is allowed
to defray certain expenditures
r In addition to $25,000 a year for
f? traveling expenses.
Even with this help a president
cannot escape paying about $50,000
- ?ofliarv for nrovisions
V JCOI X* \jl?X <i *for
the white house tables, entertaining,
clothing, and contributions
to charitable and other organizations.
This leaves him $25,000 a year,
wjiich h? may possibly set aside for
future needs. f
This is not exorbitant; for most
men who are of president calibre?
and many who are not?accumulate
much more than $100,000 in four
years. According to the federal income
tax returns for 1915 there are
in the United States at least 3,849
persons receiving $75,000 or more
annually. There are 3,660 more who
'get between $50;000 and $75,000.
Pew of these should find it difficult
to set aside $25,000 a year.
The biggest item a president must
meet from his own pocket is the cost
of provisions for the white house
tables. There rarely are fewer than
thirty persons at every meal, including
the president and his family,
guests, and a staff of servants averaging
from twenty to twenty-two.
Bills for groceries, meat, milk and
other provisions, ordered by the
housekeeper, under the general supervision
of the mistress of the white
house, fluctuate considerably. In
summer, during the brief time the
president and his family are at the
seashore or in the mountains, these
hills at the white house can be kept
down to about $1,000 a month, 01
even less. But when the president
is in Washington and during the winter
social season they run from two
+n frinr Hmoc amnnnf
v ^ 1.VUA UlliVUUV.
This increase in winter is due to
the extensive entertaining expected
-of the president and his wife. State
receptions and dinners, of which
there are always eight or nine in a
season, cost upwards of $1,000 each.
The president and Mrs. Wilson
this year included in their social programme
four large receptions and
five State dinners. In addition there
were many smaller, less formal affairs.
At the receptions the number of
guests invariably ranges from twenty-five
hundred to thirty-five hun*

A QUESTIONABLE REMEDY.
Scotch Patient Improved, But Thirty 3
Others Had Relapse.
The wounded highlander seemed
to make no headway toward recov- j
ery. He was forever talking about ^
his "bonnie Scotland," and the idea j
occurred to the doctor that a Scotch jpiper
might rouse his spirits. Ac- c
cordingly, he found a piper, and arranged
that he should pour forth all T
the gems of Scottish music the pipes ?
were capable of interpreting. When ^
the doctor called the next morning t
he eagerly asked the matron: (
"Did the piper turn up?"
"He did," replied the matron. t
"And how's our Scotch patient?" i
"Oh, he's fine; I never saw such a (
i change," said the matron. 1
"That's grand. That was a fine j
i idea of mine," said the delighted doc- j
tor. (
"Yes," replied the matron sadly, j
"but the other thirty patients have
all had serious relapses."?Youth's \

room. These buffet suppers are pre'
pared in the white house kitchens,
! with the assistance of extra servants, 1
' and the number of turkeys and chick'
ens and the amount of other ex'
pensive provisions consumed is ]
astounding. i
L The State dinners, given for the '<
diplomatists of all the foreign couu< 1
tries and the leading American of- 1
ficials and jurists, usually are attend- 1
L ed by from fifty to ninety guests, who s
' sit at a table set in the shape of a \
horseshoe. There are nine or ten )
! courses, the cost of a dinner com- ,
paring favorably with that of a re- i
' /?antirtn J ]
wy VAVUt
In addition to this a president's 1
personal expenses are very heavy. *
' Half a dozen suits of clothes a year <
' and the other furnishings needed bv <
a man are quite sufficient for a presi- <
' dent, but the gowns for the "First j
' Lady of the Land" and the white s
5 house daughters are no mere inci- ]
' dent. These ladies are called upon 1
; to attend four or five functions every <
week during the season in Washing- i
ton, and they must have ready no (
s ?
less than a score of becoming even- i
1 ing gowns as well as an extensive i
stock for afternoon wear. 1
. Contributions to charity range t
from inexpensive handkerchiefs and i
autographed pictures of the white i
house, for sale at bazaars, to sub- ^
stantial checks. i
As the government provides no re- i
fuge from the hot weather of Wash- (
ington, a president must furnish him1
self and his family with a summer
residence, the rent to come from his
own pocket. And then there is the
cost of keeping up two establishments.
Because a president is so busy
with affairs of State, the work of
looking after bills generally is left
to some other member of the household,
his wife, a daughter, or his
stenographer.. The president, then,
merely signs the checks, prepared for
him with the bills attached.
Of course the president has absolute
supervision over the money appropriated
by congress to meet certain
white house bills. The sundry
civil act for the fiscal year ending
June 30th, 1916, provided $35,000
"for ordinary care, repair and refurnishing
of the executive mansion,
and for the purchase, maintenance,
and driving of horses and vehicles
fr\f nrdinorr niimnsos tn ha ovnpr*
1VI l/i U1UUA ; vv MV L
ed by contract or otherwise." This \
covers the wages of the servants, s
which range from $40 to $75 a c
month, the pay of the chauffeurs and t
the upkeep of five white house auto- g
mobiles. s
In the same act there is provided i
$9,000 for the care and maintenance g
> of the white house greenhouses, $6,- ]
000 for fuel for the white house and (
? the greenhouses, and a sum not to j
exceed $8,600 for lighting the white g
house, the surrounding grounds and ?
greenhouses. An extra item of $3,- ?
000 also is carried for repairs to the
1 greenhouses.
Another appropriation is $25,000
> for the traveling expenses of the 1
president, to be "expended in his dis*
cretion and accounted for on his cer- *
tificate solely." What remains at
. the end of the year of this fund, as
well as of the other appropriations, I
stays in the treasury. .

RABBIT PROVES A KICKER.
lonkey Finds This Out After Exhausting
Bunny's Patience.
There is a monkey in the Central
3ark zoo which cannot be convinced
here is any luck in a rabbit's foot,
ie is sure, though, that said rab)it's
foot has a kick like a string of
:ocktails on an empty stomach.
From Bill Snyder's hospital last
light, where the monkey is recuperLting
from monkeying with a big
vhite rabbit, the word went out that
he patient was as well as could be
jxpected.
The monkey is the smaller of two
hat were so spindling they couldn't
lold their own in the big monkey
lage, and were sent to make up a
lappy family in a cage with twenty
abbits and guinea pigs. In these
)acifist surroundings he felt his
>ats?or peanuts?and started to
)ick on the big white rabbit.
The latter, being an American rab)it,
stood a lot of picking, ear tweakng,
fur pulling and other indignities.
Yesterday, however, the monkey
;ried to steal from under the rabbit's
viggling nose a particularly dainty
oit of lettuce. The rabbit's pink
jyes went red. "Oh, my fur and
vhiskers!" he exploded, like Alice's
*abbit. and out went the deadly rab
Dit's foot. There was a thud as it
struck the simian jaw, squeak of pain
md one of triumph, and then all that
'emained of this monkey tale was a
nuch subdued monkey and an othervise

OLD-TIME DARKEY DEAD.
Hardy Montgomery Boasted That He
Had Lived 105 Years.
The announcement that Hardy
Montgomery was dead will bring sorrow
all over the county to both white
md black for "Uncle Hardy," as he
svas called by everyone, has been a
familiar figure on our streets for a
long number of years. When on the
streets there was always a group
iround him, interested listeners to
him as he would relate how "Rufe
Jones done me out'en my trick," his
marvelous possum hunts, particularly
the one when, "Jerry, my best dog,
treed the ghost," and the particulars
is to "Marse Robert's drowning in
le Catawba river?long time 'fore
ie war." He had lived for a number
Df years in town in a one-room cabin
ill alone. He had not been seen
since Wednesday and some colored
people went to his house yesterday
to see if he was sick and found him
lead in bed. He was formerly a
slave and belonged to the late Robert
Montgomery, of the Liberty Hill

mcertain but he must have been at
east 105. This was a serious mat;er
with him. He wTould be easily
iled if it was suggested that he
night be younger than he claimed.
iVith great indignation he would
lsually close the argument by sayng,
"I nose what I'm talking about,
if ye don't believe me, go down to
:he Summerville graveyard and look
>n young Marse Robert's tombstone
tnd see what it says. Me and him
vas one day's chillun," and then he
vould proceed to tell all about the
ragic death of his young master by
irowning. He claimed to be 116
rears old. Another matter of great
mportance with him was as to where
he Yankees crossed the Catawba
iver in February, 1865. When any>ne
would suggest Pea's Ferry he
vould exclaim indignantly "now jess
isten to dat?'cause it was 'Rocky
dount' Ferry for I seed 'em wid my
>wn eyes. It took 'em two days to
:ross on one of the curiouses bridges
ever seed, what dey put up demlelves
and dey made a blue streak
icross the ribber when dey( wuz
Tossing." His fondness for waternelons
was a standing joke and it
vas a familiar sight on the streets
luring melon season to see him siting
on the curbstone with his face
juried in the half of one. He once
laid in speaking of flowers-, "I don't
:are for 'em to be bringing flowers
o my grave but after it's filled up
md dey pat the dirt all round, instead
of putting flowers on top, jes
et 'em bring one of these big rattlemake
watermelons and sqush it and
et the juice trickle down fru de
ilods." Yes, the old man will be
nissed. He was perhaps the last
survivor in the county of the typical
mte-bellum negro. Peace to his
ishes.?Lancaster News.
