Dolly Madisons Trunk Rescued.

In the treasure room of the White
House is an old trunk that belonged to
Dolly Madison. This trunk had been
battered from attic to basement until
Mrs. Roosevelt discovered it's historic

and now it is one of the receptacles of

old trunk held the wardrobe Of the

it bears the words, Mistress Dorothy

be CLEANED from the fact that it is not
covered with a smooth leather, but

know as to that.
Like all other captains of industry,
Mr.. Hill gives the secret Of his success
as hard work. Every high financier
gives the secret of his success as hard
work. Work! Work! Work all the
time you can, and all the people you
can! Meantime the dear public not
only has to work, but be worked.
Dislikes Bells.
James j. Hill Is a devoted Shake
speare student. He has many pecul-
iarities. One is that he dislikes bells
will not have telephone or call bells
about him ii he can help it. Another
is that he is very absentminded. Once
he wore his nightshirt-under his coat,
Of course-to big banquet and recep-
ton. He likes to help out his old
friends who are In straitened circum-
stances. He is gruff, but kindly, bad
man to meet in anger, fires his en-
ployees without warning, makes his
sons work as hard as any man under
him and keeps everything moving He
is stockily built, with long white hair
and tangled beard, hypnotic eye and
prominent, cleaning brow that wan
ders all over the top of his head. He
is Protestant, but gives to Roman Cath
Ole charities as much as to those Of
his own church. This is on account of
Mrs. Hill, who was a poor Catholic
girl, whom Mr. Hill educated in a con-
vent. They have large family, two
OF the sons being thorough railroad
men. One Of them, Lewis w. Hill, is
slated to succeed his father as presi-
dent of the Great Northern.
At the time Of the famous Northern
Securities decision Jim Hill said pen
sively to friend: ''They may spoil it
all, and | may be beaten this time; but,
whatever happens, I've made my mark
in the world. Here it Is" And he point
ed to large wall map Of the Great
Northern. J. A. EDGERTON.

JAMES J. HILL.

It himself and did it so closely that he
showed wheat raising had no mysteries
for him. The government may dis
tribute seeds, but Hill has 1t beat to
death on this line, for he distributes not
only seed, but fine blooded stock, to
the farmers along his lines, and like
wise tells how the seed should be plant
ed and how the stock should be bred
and cared for. He takes paternal In
terest in the municipalities along his
roads, instructing them how to build
up, get rid Of disreputable resorts and
the like. AS to state governments, he
has been accused at various times Of
running most of those in his territory
But his activities do not stop here.
When he goes to Wall street, which Is
frequently, he gives the high fnanciers
tips on how to do things right. In fact,
Jim Hill is almost as universal char
acter as Emperor William He is the
Grand Old Adviser of the northwest.
The only reason that region has not
been called the Hill country is because
nobody ever before had the temerity to
spring such rank pun Or maybe it
has been so called, only should hate
to think Of any one else as being SO
abandoned
James Jerome Hill was born on an
Ontario farm in 1888 His fathers
early deat h took the hoy out Of school,

Snort fire he concluded that Gene da
was too small to contain all the things
he Intended to do in the world, SO he
struck out for the States. Before go
ing he moved large meadow for q
neighbor to earn enough money to start
him on his way, going barefoot in the
bayfield, in order to save his boots. Ev-
erybody says Jim was good boy in
Ontario, never robbed birds nests,
stole peaches or did those things which
