It has been said OF the Monroes that they made
fewer friends in Washington than any presiden-

Mrs. Hay the eldest daughter. would not visit
the wives of the diplomats because they did not
call first upon her. Thus 1t came about that
when the youngest daughter Maria Hester Mon

verneur, then secretary to the president nobody
was at the wedding except members of the fami-
lies of the bride and bridegroom. 1t took place
in the circular room at noon on March 3, 1870,
and the clergyman, the Rev. Dr. Hawley Of st.
Johns church. wore knee breaches with silver
buckles on his low shoes.

They had three children. two of them boys.

History is unfortunately silent in regard to sub
sequent events in the life of Anna Todd but 1t is
known that she went to Virginia with her hus-
band and lived there the rest of her life.
Dolly Madison had two sisters. One Of Them
Anna became the wife of Congressman Cults of
Maine. The other and younger sister. Lucy. was
married at fifteen years of age to George Steptoe
Washington, a nephew of the Father of His
Country. He died and she went to- live with the
Madisons.
All of which merely leads up to the fact that
on the evening of March IL, 1911. Lucy, the
widow aforementioned, was married at the White
House to Kentucky widower named Todd who
was an associate justice of the Supreme court
This was the first White House wedding and was
celebrated with all the eclat possible In those
comparatively simple days.
1t will be noticed that only four OF the twelve
White House brides have been daughters OF

from a painter who lived in q stdio at

came to say how much he had enjoyed
the singing Of the great barrytone.

Maurel did not see the paihter again
for some time and when he met him
In the street some weeks afteFward
he asked him IL he had been to will

cold about 1t. He complained that
Maurel had not given the impression
of the character of the fearless hunt

from that time studied the art Of act

He was after elephants when the ami.
NAL appeared within range. and, con-
trary to his usual custom, the hunter
fired. The shot took effect and the
buffalo disappeared into the jungle.
The hunter, who is dead-shOt, and
expected to find his quarry dead, fol-
lowed. Suddenly without the slight
est warning, the wounded beast
charged, believing with rage and pain.
from behind some bushes so close at
hand that the hunter had no time to
raise his rife and fire.
Throwing aside the rife, he sprang
into the air and clutched at branch
of a tree beneath which he was stand
ing, and by drawing up his legs just
managed to escape the buffalo's horns.
But worse was to come. The buffalo
turned and surveyed its foe hanging
belplessly overhead and Immediately
bounded inco the air, it's terrible horns
searching madly for it's victim.
The unfortunate man could climb no
higher, for the tree was small one,
and one of the horns caught him on
the thigh. ripping 1t open like knife.
Again and again the beast sprang at
the man, and again and again the re-
ientless horns tore at his thigh and
leg.
With wonderful strength and cour-
age the hunter bore about fifteen ag.
onizing moments of this torture, until
at last the bullet took effect and the
animal dropped dead on the ground

Assembled in the senate chamber

With bowed heads these men, all

The speech of President Wilson was
an Interpretation of the verdict rem
dered at the polls presented in that lu-
cid style which has added so much to
his effectiveness as a public speaker.
He outlined the things from which
the country has turned and defined the
course upon which, under the guidance
OF his administration, it is entering.
If anyone had doubted the progress
iveness of his program. all doubt has
been removed. His speech was bugla

who have struggled at first almost
without hope, but now exultant in a
victory that has put a unified nation
behind him.

had only in the old French Market at New

celebrated all over the South.
Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay and other fa-
