Five Minutes with

By JAMES XII. JAMES AND DOLLY AS James Madison made a great name for himself before enter-! lng the Presidency and added nothing to it while in the White House, it must be that he was a good deal of a man but not much of a President. Like all the more famous Virginians, Madison was not of the highest aristocracy, but the son of a plain, well-to-do farmer in an outlying county. His whole life was passed at Montpelier, the farm which his grandfather had wrested from the Indians; from it he drew his only private income and at last he was buried in its 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 onequarter inches, he was, with Grant, the smallest of our Presidents. Naturally thin and frail his zeal for study nearly wrecked his health while a student at Princeton College where for months at a time he slept only three hours out of the twenty-four. Unfitted for military duty when the Revolution came, he went to the Virginia Legislature instead. Yet this seemingly broken-down young man was destined to be the longest lived of all the Presidents, with the single exception of John Adams. When a candidate for re-election to the Legislature, Madison revolted against the old Virginia custom m of rallty i setting up the drinks. His mo

HmtS Pi'& 4 rS&- :tM?P? .rTT

was mistaken for stinginess and thejed from his first dream of love by a

tmrsty voters nocked to tne capacious : barrel of his opponent, who was elected. The defeated candidate had to j wait a dozen years for his first chance1 to distinguish himself. Still no time was lost, for, while he was waiting, he diligently preparrd to meet opportunity when it should come and made a close study of all governments, ancient and m0Qern. Although a shy, blushing little man, with a quiet thin little voice, which modestly sank almost to a 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 draffthe Federal Conajstitution. Mere oratory counted for nothing in that convention, which was held behind locked doors, with no gallery to applaud the orator and no reporters to play him up on the first page. Madison himself was the only re porter present, but his report was not published until after he was dead and t until all his colleagues had returned to dust. Each day unfailingly found that most illustrious member of the reportonal craft in his place, down in front of Washington, the presiding of- ! firpr where hp mad nnipq of th I , fleer, where be made otes ot tbe, Hueecnea in a siiuriiiaiiu oi ins own. which he laboriously wrote out in his room at night. Having earned, by his constructive labors in framing it, the title of Ijit-.. r raiuer vi uie vxnsinuiion, ne iook a leading part in putting the principles of th convention into practice. As a

He was the author of the first tariff and of ihe law creating the State, Treasury and War Departments, 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, weazened, little great man. He was already a mature bachelor of thirtytwo and a member of the Continental Congress, when a sixteen-year-old girl in his Philadelphia boarding house wa3 the first to touch a soft spot in his and Bighed over her harpiscord cut out. and he was painfully awakenletter of dismissal which, for reasons Snown to this later generation. the young miss sealed with a pinch of rye After two years had brought ?Zr Z The Wd lover took their healing, the jilted lover took pan. in anomer 7el' 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 became involved in still another boarding house romance at Philadelphia. Only, instead of a lady boarder, he fell in love this time with a landlady's daughter. Dolly Payne Todd, who! was only twenty-six, had lost her husband and was living with her mother, j "Who received into her house a few j gentlemen boarders". Among these i was Senator Aaron Durr of New York. Madison himself was staying at another house, where he and. two other future Presidents, Jefferson and Mon roe, were living three in a room.

Homes for 3ff,000 of New York's harried tenants, to be sold without "down payments" on terms far betow current rentals, will rise on municipally owned va cant lots, If a proposal now before the board of estimate is adopted by the city. Edward P. Doyle, chairman of the budget committee of the real estate board of New York, who proposed the plan, was requested by the board of estimate yesterday to take it up with the mayor's committee on rent and profiteering. It was estimated that! if the plan found favor there, it would receive city backing. Mr. Doyle's plan calls for the forma tion of a $30,000,000 building loan association with which the city would mnpratn TKir fnrnlchnF vnnnnt lot a on 60 years' lease. The city owns

thousands of such lots, acquired in de-i fp farming landscapes m tne exlinquent tax proceedings. hiblt. Placed advantageously It not JJ

Details of Plan The association would issue $5,000,000 in prepaid stock which Mr. Doyle said real estate investors would readily buy, and $25,000,000 in installment stock which would be sold to prospective purchasers in blocks of 25 shares at $100 a share. .The stock would be paid for at the raate of 50 cents per 6hare per month, or $12.50 for the 25 shares. The proceeds would be used to erect concrete houses to be stld for $2,500 each. The purchaser would pay six per cent on the purchase price in monthly installments of $12.50 which with his' payments on his stock would bring his monthly outgo up to, $25. To this would be added a 4 per cent payment to the city as rental for the lot, and an assessment for taxes. In twelve years, the dues paid on the stock would amount to $1,800, which with earnings acredited to the stock would pay for the house. The purchaser could then at his leisure purchase the lot from the city.

- -y EMMA l FETTA An exhibit of importance displaying to advantage the work of a large group ' of Ore New York Society of Painters was opened Informally in honor of the Methodist women's conference Saturday . morning, and will be formally opened to the public Saturday afternoon In the public art gallery of the high school. From a standpoint' of emotionalism, types and portraiture, the exhibit is the finest displayed here this Beason. The exhibit is one of particular charm, Inasmuch as several of the painters sent their best canvasses. uneonbtedly "Inspiration" by Susan Ricker Knox will receive commendation. The canvass Is poetical, bring ing forth the dejightfulness of babynooa. in tne center of the canvas is a pink dimpled baby in the nude. Seat ed with her chubby legs crossed she appears to be more a thing to worship. Flankinx the child are two straight candlesticks In which stand a yellow tapers. Behind the child is a large gold or bronze plat in line with which the infant's back curves slightly as she leans a bit forwards Back of the plate hangs a straight cloth. On Fifth Avenue when the whole world was praising the work of the Red Cross nurses on the battle line hung the portrait, "The Last Letter," by Plara T. McChesney. Artists and other critics gave it great praise. It will be an historical canvass when the days of war are further away. The central figure is a Red Cross nurse who Is seated at a low table writing. In a hazy background and crowded out of the picture to the leftj is the imaginative outline of cot, the conclusion being that a dying soldier is dictating his "Last Letter." An expression of supreme fortitude, pity and patience is painted into the nurse's face. October" by Cullen Yates Is one of tb?. mo beautifully colored and altoULLljr UCBLl lUrS IUO piU Alilt itlUlUB" phere of mldfall, and its radiant foilage, but gives to the whole exhibit a certain richness which it would otherwise lack. Delicate of touch and yet bold In coloring Mr. Yates has perfected a delightful picture. Many people will study with interest Eliot Clark's imaginative "Cloud Drama," which as some one suggested Is "really a cloud tragedy." E. Lambert Cooper's "Street in Delhi" is an interesting canvas illustrating the relentless heat of the tropic sun, and taking the viewer rapidly into the center of a sluggish district of the city. The coloring in this picture is especially well done. Strong and hot it is at tha same time delicately manipulated and rich. Other pictures In the exhibit are extremely interesting. They will be commented upon later. Governor Goodrich, who through Charles Liebhardt, Indianapolis art dealer, purchased two of George Bakers' canvases In his recent exhibit here, said this week he wa3 greatly pleased with the canvasses. A charming autumn scene by J. E. Bundy has been placed on exhibit in the Nicholson book shop store window.
