The train pulled Into Union sta tion In the presence of a tremendous throng, and for once the line of polltlos were utterly obliterated, effaced from the minds of the thousands who had gathered, eager to receive back to their state this, their fellow cltlsen, who had been honored In almost every nation of the globe. It was also fitting that Mr. Bryan's re ception at home, here in Omaha, should be infornlal and spontaneous. New York, the east, had done the formal honors; that was all right for strangers, but her were home folks and neighbors, ' and there was no temper for formalities. It was a right royal welcome, whole-souled, western, and you could see Mr. Bryan enjoyed it to the these factories, agents, are i stationed" at' "M00- nd lt" house and factories are William Alden Smith has had a remark very full.

The people did not depend upon their own voice, to creat the disturbance; voices were Inadequate to the oocaslon, but whistles, siren whistles, anvil and giant dynamite crackers wer . turned loose. A big threshing machine engine was anchored across from the station and its whistle never stopped as long as there was any olld atmosphere for It ,to pierce. Of course, with such a demonstrative crowd, and with Mr. Bryan so glad to get back, he wanted to shake hands with everybody at the station, things could not be pulled off tn apple pi order. In fact. Mr. Bryan was taken from th depot, as Mr. Hitchcock remarked of the arrange ments, by "brute strength and awkward ness.1 Lincoln's best looking ' policemen, with Sergeant McCorkle In the van, were on hand to clear the way and make It easy ailing for the Bryan party and the "dis tinguished cltlsen" who wer to be In the parade. The policemen, however, were fairly eaten up. When they found them- selves they were trailing along behind th ( hindmost part of the parade. They stuck together, though, and made a vry cred- f able finish to an inspiring spectacle. Hoaottd by the TaraasT. Mr. Bryan reached Lincoln about I 'clock, Just as the 4J.0O0 person, at the state fair ground, were coming into town. These lined up on either side of the street through which the parade passed almost to tho car tracks from tha station to the residence of Charles W. Bryan, where the great commoner and his family ate dinner. Barely enough spue was left oa O street for the1 parade to pass through.. Except right at th station, however, the , crowd was nut a noisy ooilacllon of people. Tlx.-y seined content to raise tbelr hats and look at the man they honored, cheering only spasmodically. The Joy of the Nebraskana at once more having thetr distinguished cltlsen with them was no more intense than was th pleasure , Mr. Bryan experienced . at be'ni with hi people on his own grounds, ia bis own home. Mr. Bryan expresesd his pleas ure In his every look end la his every utterance. He became "fidgety" before his train reached Lincoln and nervously hustled his baggage together. "'I'll get your baggage together. My. Bryan," aald some one in the car; "you go. ahead aiid sit down and rest." "I don't think I will," answered th home-comer. 'I Just paid myself a Quarter to do this, and I want to earn the money before I get to Lincoln." And he earned the quarter Unaided and Jon, evea thaugh. he did have to kiuli (fro MR.

From Los; Cabin to tha Senate. - Indeed, I doubt whether there is a man In publio life who hod as hard ' a boyhood as that of the senior senator from Michi gan. ' Alger's father was singularly unlucky, He tried a half dosen different buainesaes and failed ln all. ' He was a pioneer farmer -In- Ohio at the time Alger was born and this millionaire senator, who is now three score and ten, first looked out upon the world ' through the door of a log cabin. .When he was about 11 years of age his father died, and prior to that both father and mother lay sick in the same bed in the log hut. with four little children about and but little to eat. They both died within a short time of each other, and at the age of 12 the future senator was the( main prop against the cabin door which kept the wolf of hunger out. He once told me of his struggles at that time. He worked for a neighbor, receiving as wages ' three teacups of flour a day, and this, . mixed with the milk from the family cow, formed the food of blmaelf and sister. There was a little corn ln the house, and one day young Russell shelled a bag of this and carried it on his back to a mill nine miles away and traded.lt for-meal. He walked eighteen mile for that meal and says he cannot remember that he felt especially tired upon, hi return. It .was shortly after that that young Alger got home for hi younger brother and . sister, in neighboring families and then went out to work as a farmer's hand, taking three month's off for schooling each winter. His wages during the first two years ranged from $t to $6 per month, and after he had worked six year he received $15 a month,' which he aay, wa big' wage for farmer In those days, AU thl tlm th senator went to school a part of th year and studied In the meanwhile. ' Later on he taught school snd then read law, and later still went to Michigan snd got Into the lumber business, In which. after some finenclal disasters, he flaally became established and gradually amsssd a fortune.

This was very sptly dem onstrated when ' Governor Mickey pro longed his address of welcome into a discus- "un ot lh work tn congress. The crowd knew all about that; but It - didn't know what Mr. Bryan was going t i say. The crowd was anxious to know what Mr. Bryan had to aay, and it didn't car to hear what Mr. Mickey had to say after . he had , welcomed the distinguished Ne braskan. Therefore the crowd had to let Governor Mickey know what it wanted by yelling, and it did. Tha governor bravely' held on and told th people to listen to, him. But they couldn't and , they didn't.
