CHARM Of DOLLY MADISON.

Gave Mistress Of White House Her
Empire Over Hearts.
To define the charm of a charming
woman is always difficult. Dolly Mad
ison's features were not regular, nor
was her figure perfect. She was not
witty. nor was she wise, and she par
ticipated little. If at all, in her hus.
bands intellectual life. Nevertheless
she stands out as the greatest Of all
mistresses of the White House, and
her popularity was unbounded. She
ruled over her world In Washington
with genial good nature and instinct
AZ tact. Her nature was warm, at.
fectionate and impressionable. She
loved life and people and her world
loved her. Her brilliant coloring, an
mated face and well-rounded figure
went with a cordial manner and sym
pathy for those about her amounting
to genius. and she vas always ready
to bubble into laughter.
Who could resist such a woman, the
wife Of a President? She was the
center of observation at the inaugural
ball, but she would have been the
center Of observation at any ball. even
II she had not been the presidents
wife. She had. in fact, ruled as In
d%isputably over the little boarding.
house in Philadelphia kept by her
mother, when she was the Widow
Todd. as she did over the White
House as Mrs. Madison.-Century

Just Such Punishment Needed for
Certain Young Washers in This
City for Just That Trouble.

The following press dispatch con-
corning a Philadelphia girl should be
made to apply here in Laramie, where
certain young men are behaving in a
way to call down the wrath of the
girls themselves and their big broth
ers:
Annoyed by persistent attentions
Of a masher for the last month, Miss
Jennie Heade. a Germantown stem
ographer, took boxing lessons from her
brother, and when the masher address
ed her on her way from church she
turned on him. With three well direct
ed blows the young man went down.
When he recovered his senses ne leap
ed to his feet and fed.
Miss Heade met the masher, who
lives in Onley, about a month ago, and
he at once began to force his atten-
lions on her. The young woman then
went to her brother, Harry, an anna
teur pugilist, who tips the scales at
ITO pounds. He bought gloves and
gave his sister two weeks lessons, un-
til she became efficient. The Washers

Hold Wheat for Higher Price.

At a mass meeting Of farmers in Ritz
vile on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 9th, it
was UNANIMOUSLY resolved to hold the
wheat delivered at warehouses until
the price rose to e. and IS cents. the
latter beng the figure stipulated for
bluestem. The meeting was called by
w. r. Cunningham, ST.. secretary of
the American Society of Equity, and a
prominent wheat grower. John F. lrby.
another extensive grower, was appointed
secretary. The chairman declared that
wheat was not selling at its proper
value.
Farmers present included Ben F. Ber-
ry. owing $1,000 bushels !; w. R. Cum
ningham. Sr., 10000 bushels; J. F. Col
lier. 10000 bushels Fred Kembel, ~
600 bushels, and ]. F. Irby, 1900
bushels.
The object of the combination is to
hold an immense quanty of wheat until
it can be placed on the market at net
price to the grower of IS cents per bushel
for bluestem.
Mr.. Cunningham produced circular
published in San Francisco, which
stated that for three years in June.
July and August the wheat thrown on
market averaged 100000 bushels in
the United States. but that this year
only 100000 bushels had been Of
fered during the same months. Last
year statistics. it continued. showed that
$4,000 600 bushels was consumed in the
United States at high prices. and that
there was a market for an additional
10000. 900 bushels every year. hence the
market would require $4,000, 900 bushels
for home consumption in 1866. 1t is
now stated. continued the circular. upon
positive information. that California only
raised 10000 tons of wheat in 1905.
whereas it consumes 400 900 tons per
year. and California is looking to WASH
ton for 100000 tons this year, and else
where for Ioo. 700 tons.
