It Is well known that Grant saved but very little. Hayes was accredited w.th saving tlie larger portion of his sal I ary, but in thUs as in many other things'; he wis never dealt with justly. President' Hayes was fie trom a stingy nun, and la i is doubtfiil if he saved more than out of hs four years' salary' lres.dent i Arthur was known as a ban vivant, and h.s dii.iiers, both state 'and private, were I probal.dy the most elaborate and cxpen lve ever served in the White House.

President Harrison was very fond of inviting a few friends to dine him tiriva and in this way entertained good deal. His state dinners were very elaborate, and while he was accrediie i with having saved more than one third of hiss alary during four years in the Wh.te House, It is doubtful if he even saved one of it. During his present term President Cleveland has done but l.ttle more entertaining than he did during first teirm, and Is believed that he has been able to' lay away fully one fpurih of his salary.
