member of Congress, he was the first
Congressman to rise and say, Mr.
Speaker" He was the author of the
first tariff and of the law creating the
State, Treasury and War Depart
ments. and he introduced the first ten
amendments to the Constitution. With
the rise of the parties. he took his
stand by the side of Jefferson, who
made him his Secretary of State and
his heir to the Presidency.
If Madison had not been crossed
and blessed in love, posterity might
not catch him on his human side at all
and only yawn over this prosy, serious,
studious, cool-tempered, unaggressive,
wea zened, little great man. He was
already a mature bachelor of thirty
two and member of the Continental
Congress, when a sixteen-year-old girl
in his Philadelphia boarding house was
the first to touch soft spot in his
heart A young clergyman who hung
and sighed over her harpiscord cut
him out, and he was painfully awaken
ed from his first dream of love by a
letter of dismissal which, for reasons
unknown to this later genera ton, the
young miss sealed with pinch OF rye
dough. After two years had brought
their healing, the Tilted lover took
part in another unsuccessful engage
ment, but no one seems to know who
sent the rye dough in this second in
| stance.
Madison was past forty, and well
| into his Indian Summer, when he be-
came involved in still another board
! ing house romance at Philadelphia
Only, instead of lady boarder, he
fell in love this time with a landlady s
daughter. Dolly Payne Todd, who
was only twenty-siX, had lost her hus
band and was living with her mother
who received into her house a few
gentlemen boarders". Among these
was Senator Aaron Burr of New York
! Madison himself was staying at an
other house, where he and two other
future Presidents, Jefferson and Mon
roe, were living three in a room.
There the fame of the pretty young
! Quakeress travelled to him, and he
asked Burr-they were at Princetir
together-to take him to see her. The
match famed up in the flash of ar
eye, and Dolly and her boy were borne
away to Montpelier, where she proved
her tactfulness and kindness by
dwelling in peace under the same roo
with her mother-in-law thirty-five
years.
Aaron Burr stands charged witt
having parted several couples. The
brilliant scamp must be credited with
having united one of the happies

4 S James Madison made a great
~ name for himself before enter
ing the Presidency and added
nothing to it while in the White House.
it must be that he was good deal of
man but not much of President.
Like all the more famous Virginians,
Madison was not of the highest aris-
tocracy but the son of plain, we'll
TODD farmer in an outlying county.
His whole life was passed at Mont
pelier, the farm which his grand
father had wrested from the Indians;
from it he drew his only private in
come and at last he was buried in it's
soil. He was dependent on his father
until he was fifty. when the latter died
and the place became his own, with
one hundred slaves, who continued
always to address him simply as
Master Jimmy"
Standing only five feet SIX and one
quarter inches, he was, with Grant,
the smallest Of our Presidents. Nat
urally thin and frail his zeal for study
nearly wrecked his health while a
student at Princeton College where for
months at time he slept only three
hours out of the twenty-four. Unfit

Legislature instead. Yet this SEEM
destined to be the longest lived of all
the Presidents, with the single ex-
ception of John Adams.
When a candidate for reelection to
the Legislature, Madison revolted
against the old Virginia custom of
setting up the drinks. His morality
was mistaken for stinginess and the
thirsty voters flocked to the capacious
barrel of his opponent, who was elect
! ed. The defeated candidate had to
wait a dozen years for his first chance
to distinguish himself. Still no time
was lost, for, while he was waiting, he
! diligently prepared to meet oppOrtun-
| lty when it should come and made a
close study of all governments, ancient
and modern.
Although shy, blushing little man.
with quiet thin little voice, which
modestly sank almost to whisper at
the end of every sentence, by sheer
| force of his wide knowledge and sound
Judgment, he took first place at once
in the immortal assembly of wise men
/ which met to draft the Federal Con
stitution. Mere oratory counted for
nothing in that convention, which was
held behind locked doors, with no gal
lery to applaud the orator and no re
porters to play him up on the first
page.
Madison himself was the only re
porter present, but his report was moi
published until after he was dead anC
until all his colleag CUES had returned
to dust. Each day unfailingly found
that most illustrious member of the
e. -
front of Washington, the presiding of

speeches in a shorthand of his own
which he laboriously wrote out in hi!

., labors in framing it, the title o
Father of the Constitution" he tool

of the convention into practice. AS {

Bread at Last to Go
Up. Saws Eugene Ouigq

Richmond will have to pay more for
its daily bread, in the next 80 days,
said Eugene Quigg, vice-president of
Indiana bakers, Saturday.
Quigg says that Richmond bakers
have been contemplating either to
raise the price or to cut the size, since
Jan. 1. The large amount Of -four pur-
chased at reasonable prices, enabled
them to hold off the increase.
Instead of raising the price, Rich
mond bakers will cut the present 16
ounce loaf to a - ounce loaf and sell
it for the same price, 10 cents, Quigg
thinks. This cut will probably be
made as soon as the necessary moulds
and new wrappers are obtained

IN WHICH THERE'S SHORTAGE

mond are boosters and not knockers,
but nevertheless, there is a serious
shortage of nails here. A visit to all
Richmond hardware stores revealed
this fact.
Dealers attribute the shortage to re-
cent strikes in steel mills; to the rail-

prevents shipment here; and to the
millions of kegs of nails held in stor-
age by the government. Millions of
kegs were also left in France.
