THE NATIONS DEBT TO DOLLY
MADISON.
Saved the Declaration Of Independence
From Falling Into British Hands.

The capture, invasion and burning
OF our National Capital by British
forces under Admiral Cockburn are
graphically recalled by Clifford How
ard in the July Ladies Home Ionr-
nal in its notable "Great Personal
Events series. Mr.. Howard lucidly
tells Of the incidents leading up to the
invasion, and pictures the terror and
excitement OF the people of Washing
ton, who fed shouting, screaming,
jostling one another under foot, into
Virginia as the enemy approached.
President Madison had gone to the
front. and his wife was anMously await
ing his return, in fear for his safety.
The White House attaches had nearly
all deserted then posts, but Mrs. Madi-
son had packed all her husbands
papers and and records, and as she
was about TO abandon the house, be.
thought herself Of General Washing
tons portrait. The heavy frame in.
closing il was broken by servant with
an axe, and she removed the canvas
with her own hands, keeping it from
falling into the hands of the enemy.
at was then, writes Mr.. Howard,
''just as she was in the act of hurrying
away, that Dolly Madison was seized
with an inspiration that will ever cause
her name TO live in the heart OF every
tue American. She stopped to think.
What if the White House should be
burned ? Did it contain anything of
value to the Government that she had
neglected. The Declaration of In
dependence In a fash she called to
mind this most precious of all docu-
ments. Carefully treasured in a case
apart from the other papers it had
been overlooked in the worriment and
confusion. 1t must be saved at all
