Recollection. OF Madi.on's Term.

Ohu oldtn III W hhnlDRIOn oLaT.l
1 remember Mr.. Monroe very well. He
was rather an unpretentiou5 person, kind in
manner conversed freely with every one,
and invited familiarity by the freedom Of his
way. The custom OF receiving New Ycar's
calls was then of recent origin. Mr.. Madison,
l believe, first introduced it in 1910. He had
introduced the ceremony in New York some
years previous, and was pleased with 1t. No
one could have fathered such a custom better
than he, or appreciated the cordially OF the
occasion. His entertainments wore marked
with hospitality and liberality-a good repre-
sentative Of the old school It would be
amusing to the present generation to have
seen him in his dress, small of stature, wear
Ing small clothes, k~nee-buckles, and powdered
wig, a thoroughbred Virginia gentleman,
and endowed with great powers OF converse
ton. However, his appearance did not strike
the correspondent OF Tho Edinburgh Review
favorably, who, when asked what he thought
of the president, said "Mr. Madison looked
like a schoolmaster dressed up for a funeral.n
Not so, however, was Mrs. Madison, who
was the friend of everybody, Of whom Wash
ington Irving wrote as n fine, portly, buxom
dame, " and Mr.. Ogle Taylor speaks of her
that "she never forgot a face or a name, had
been very handsome, was graceful and
gracious, and was loved alike by rich and
poor" Mr.. Madison was advanced in years
when he married her. She was the widow Of
a wealthy merchant of Philadelphia named
Todd her maiden name, l think, was Dolly
Payr, During her stay in the White House
she made things lively by the frequent dane
ing parties given there. She was a graceful
dancer, particularly exoelling in the ~cotillion
and minust. Around her was life, and every
one felt her presence to be a need. She was,
l can say, the most popular lady who ever
presided over tho affairs OF the executive
mansion. 1t is a sad commentary that her
fond hopes should have been blighted by tho
misdoings OF her son, Payne Todd, who in
some way squandered her estate, worth $780,
700 or more, and thus left her in an impover-
ished condition She was an ornament to
our country, and was the last lady TO live in
the original mansion. You know that the
British burned the house in August, 1914

large 40 per cent. to occasional customers,
buying on a small scale, 30 per cent.
Dodd, Mead & Co. allow to jobbers 40
per cent, and these jobbers sell to retailers
at 336 per cont. discount. This firm do the
principal part of their country business
through jobbers, saying that experience has
taught them that this is tho most economical
plan.
The Century company sell their whole
edition to the American News company at a
price which is not recorded. The News COM
pany charges the dealers % cents a copy for
The Century magazine, and the retail price

A Jockeys Trick.


Nowadays a good Handicapped will handi-
cap horses so closely that an ounce will tell at
the finish and it Is an old saying that a race
horse could be so handicapped that a donkey
would beat 1t. Taking, however. two horses
Of equal merit, and both At and well ridden,
seven pounds will make about a length differ
ence. This has been tried and demon
strated-
Well. seeing all this, the ''trick'' was worked
in this way: Tho horse had been beaten
a head the day before by n horse that was
going to run in this particular race, and the
weights were very similar, as there had been
no penalty for winning. Tho jockey
weighed all right, and the willy owner walked
down with him 10 the starting post and left
the horse there, and then walked pack to the
winning post After the horses passed the
post the course took a sweep right away to the
back of the stand. The horse In question
won, but evidently the animal was full of
running, or else the jockey couldn't pull him
up, as he swept round as IL he was going to
run the race over again. But the owner WA
waiting. quite accidently, OF course, just
where he pulled up. The owner stepped up
and slipped a weight into tho jockeys top
bootl He had taken it out at the start and
quietly put it In his pocket and carried it
round to the finish. 1t might have boen u
t%en.pound weight for all any one knew.

lOOI. NcW 1OlR lTlDune.
Flagstaff a year ago was an unredeemed
Inferno: now it Is for the most part quiet
and OF good repute. 1t owes its permanency
to the timber business. From northwestern
Arizona down to the southeast into western
New Mexico stretches n vast belt Of magnif-
cent pine forest. Hero the belt is cut by the
railroad just under the shadow of the San
Francisco mountains. The trees are of ex-
traordinary height, straight and huge in their
proportions. Between them there is no I'M
~dergrowth-an is clear and open. Here and
there the openings widen out into beautiful
natural parks, clothed with a rich growth Of
grass. No finer cattle country could be i'm
agined, save for the lack of water.
Water is almost literally as precious
as gold. Men go out prospecting for
springs just as the miner searches for crop
pings Of ore. He who secures a spring can
control thousands of acres of land. But the
springs are few, often small, and not always
trustworthy. The Little Antelope sprire,
which supplies the cluster of cabins hard by,
sometimes runs dry. Then water Ia hauled
in barrels for miles and sold like any other
commodity. The saw-mill, which runs out a
hundred thousand feet of lumber a day to sup
ply a contract of SO, 600, 900 feet for the Next
can Central railway, is run by steam power.
Yet for this it is necessary to pump the water
In pipes from springs nine miles away. At
Winslow the railroad company sunk an arte-
sian well l ZOO feet and struck salt water. At
Ash Fork they sunk another well, which
proved a failure.
From the line OF New Mexico the railroad
runs for many miles through the barren
valley of the Rio Puerco. The river-bed Is
broad, but the stream itself is only a scanty
rivulet. Yet when there comes one Of the
sudden, fierce thunder storms peculiar to this

The Egyptian slave Trade.

A vigorous effort is being made to stamp
out the slave trade in Egypt. Quite recently
the gendarms succeeded in capturing near
Asslout n largo caravan, consisting of about
$50 slaves, and now they have arrested Ali
Saldi, the chief slave dealer in Cairo. He
will be tried by court martial in a few days.
Among the slaves found in his possession
were six femnles-three Circassians and three
negresses. Five Of them received their free
dom, but the sixth-a beautiful Circassian
Enthusiastically refused to accept the prof
fered liberty, her ambition being to become
the slave Of some wealthy Egyptian pacha.
II Ia not know whether the future of the five
girls has been properly assured; in fact, the
whole affair is enveloped in mystery.

A WAS LOW VI
A Bootblack's EuIogy ON a Dead
Good-for-Nothing.

Detroit Free Press.l
"Brandy is deadI'
30 the men said, so the women said, and so
the children called to each other as a piece of
news.
A drunken, good-fors nothing. A % called
man whose brain had become dissolved in
liquor, whose mind was enfeebled, and who
had disappointed everybody by not dying in
the gutter, instead of having the roof OF a
tenement house over his head.
Why should any one grieve when such a
vagabond passes awayf The world may owe
him room for his bones to rest, but nothing
further. So in 'Brandy'sn case men said
that he was well out of the way, and women
clattered their dishes in the rooms below,
and cared not for the presence Of the dead.
When the undertaken came to bear the
body away a dozen people crowded into the
room, and among them was n bootblack.
Some said that Brandy looked well in q
coffin: others spoke lightly about his face
having at last lost its ruby color, and the
dead pauper was no more than a dog in their
minds, and why should he ave beenl One
can be a man or he can be a vagabond. II
he becomes a v~agabond let him lose the re-
spect of men. All had a heartless remark
except the bootblack. He stood at the head
of the coffin and looked from face to face
and said:
brandy was low down, and he died like a
beast, and you are all sneering at him. Did
any one among you ever give him a chancei
Did he nave a home when he was a boyi
Did men try to encourage him and guide him
arightf Is there q man in this room who
ever took him by the hand and spoke one
wordi Didn't everybody abuse and ILL
treat hint Didn't everybody look upon him
as a dogf'
There was no answer.
"Ayel Brandy was low DOWN. whispered
the boy as he laid his hand on tho coffin. 'cHe
was ragged and hungry, and poor and home
less, and without one single friend. What
man among you could have stood out against
1t any betterf Poor old mani They know
all about it in heavenl Let me help to carry
him down.
And when the dead had been driven away,
and the boy had disappeared, more than one
man said:
After all, we might rave made it easier
for the poor old man. / wonder that some
of us never sought to make a man of him,
instead of helping him down"
