PLAN TO LEASE TOO, 900 ACRES.

Superintendent strykcr Would Derive In
como from Vacant School Land.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 27.-There IRE
about 100000 acres Of unsold school
lands in Kansas. The legislature of
1895 enacted law prohibiting the
sale Of school lands for the period OF
two years. This was TO give the irri-
CATION. board room to experiment. The
two years nre now up and the land can
be sold whenever the state super
intendent Of public instruction makes
IN order placing them on the mar
ket. The land Is In western Kansas,
and much Of 1t would not bring
the minimum price prescribed by law.
So an acre. superintendent Stryker
proposes a measure which he believes
will meet with the approval of the leg
islature. II Is to authorize that the
lands be leased for term Of years.
even II we could lease the lands for
only 81 an acre It would be better than
to let them lie idle" Mr.. Strylier says.
A bill to this effect will be prepared
and introduced this week.

DOLLY MADIsoN's LIFE.
The Little Quaker Loved the World and Iss
brightness.

The Little Quaker Loved the World and III
brightness.
Miss Benston introduced her audi
ence to character very different from
the ones Of which she has previously
told them. Her subject was Dolly
Madison" and Dolly, though born .
Quaker, loved the world and the flesh
and the devil, and loved them all the
more intensely because Of the Quaker
grayness Of her youth.
She was twice married; first to John
Todd, n Quaker lawyer, who died OF
yellow fever, and then to James Mad
ison. At the time she met the latter
she and her mother were keeping
boarders in Philadelphia, and Aaron
Burr was one of the boarders. He In
PRODUCED James Madison 10 the family,
and afterward took all the credit for
having made the match. James Mad
ison's visits to the fair widow soon be-
came so frequent that they attracted
the attention of Martha Washington, q
connection of the family, and she wrote
to Dolly in much the same words that
q modern matron might use under sim
liar circumstances.
dolly, come and see me ut once, " she
said. II want TO know what this
about James Madison means"
What it meant was soon made known
to everybody, for Dolly was married to
James Madison with great eclat. She
had real wedding dress this time, in
stead Of Quaker gray, with orange
blossoms and jewels. There were we'd
ding favors on horses, the service was
performed by a clergyman of the Eng
lish church and afterward there was
dance.
From that time on Dolly had all the
gayety she wanted. She met dukes
and lords and princes and was u brill
liant social SUCCESSFUL Of which re-
joiced her frivolous little heart. An
odd proof Of her utter and complete
revolt against everything connected
with QualSerism Is to be found In Q
miniature OF her which has been pre-
served and which shows her decked
out in no less than five distinct and
brilliant colors.-N. Y. Tribune.
