asked who he was. The friend said,
"Oh. that Is young Bryan, you ought
to meet him." At the .same time he
looked out Into the parlor and noticed
a young woman standing In the centre
of a group and he asked who she was.
And there you are.
By spring they were engaged. "When
they wer graduated they were the
valedictorians In their respective
classes. The winter following gradua
tion, that most trying and disappoint
ing period of a girl's life Mary Balrd
and her mother and father went to
Florida and travelled about from St.
Augustine and Jacksonville to Talla
hassee. The next winter Mary de
cided she must know how to keep
house and cook. So when they got
home she did the work.
'Mr. TJryan decided to build a house
and .the betrothed spent many hours
discussing the plans. When the work
man began on It Mr. Bryan's imagina
tion had it finished and furnished many
times before even a door was hung.
He wrote to his sweetheart one day
that "The cellar was dug and the back
fence up and it looked quite homelike."
Like Tommy Twaddle and his centre
table. It was the sign of possession,
and when he looked Into that cellar
he and his wife were living In a house
whose walls were not yet reared, the
furniture was beginning to look worn
and he was wishing for a better house.
Young Bryan made It a rule In his
courtship never to give anything to
his lady that he had not purchased
with money of his own earning. The
first gift was a volume of Bryant's
poems, bought with the prize money
won at an oratorical contest. The en
gagement ring was the guerdon of an
other oration.
After they were married they decided
triey wanted to study. They were
asked to join card clubs, but declined
because they had not time.
After Ruth was born Mrs. Bryan de
cided to study law, not because she
had the slightest idea of practicing it.
but because she wanted to understand
her husband when he talked about his
cases and also because, when they
were married, they were together and
she did not want to fall behind. It
was the same impulse that induct
her to study in the beginning of her
studious career. She began studying
when the baby was eight months old.
She read in the evening and when the
baby took her daytime nap.
They moved to Lincoln In 1887 and
Mrs. Bryan was admitted to the bar
soon after.
Mrs. Sawyer, Mrs. Bryan and a few
other ladies organized the Lincoln
Sorosis which has had such a success
ful career. Mr. Bryan and Mr. Saw
yer organized about the same time
"The Round Table." The latter was
supposed to Include only the husbands
of Sorosis women. But this was a
poor rule, for It would not work both
ways. Frequently the man of the
house is found to be fond of discussion
and argument and light on subjects
like free silver and kindred topics; on
the other hand some Sorosis husbands
prefer cards and refreshments. It was
found impossible to keep the rule and
continue the Round Table, so the rule
was abolished. The first meeting of
Sorosis was held at Mrs. Sawyer's
house. Mrs. Bryan led with a discus
sion on Henry George's single tax
theory.
When Mr. Bryan went to congress,
his wife and family went with him.
They were strangers and went with
delight about the beautiful old city
that was as new to them as if it had
been built the day before their arrival.
The youthful Joy In life that Mr. and
Mrs. Bryan possess Is enviable and
all whom they admit to their friend
ship are stimulated to new youthful
ness by their enthusiasm. The four
years that they were in Washington
they spent In exploring. In study. In
expeditions to the environs, they went
to the theatre, they heard the different
preachers, Jewish, Jesuit, Buddhist,
Cul'ud. I do not believe they will ever
like It so much again.
Dogs Killed By Electricity.
South Omaha has established in it

proved successful.

There is more than one food which will cause the bod j
to increase in weight. A free supply of sugar will do this :
! so will the starchy foods; cream, and some other fats. But
to become fleshy, and yet remain in poor health, is not what
fat-producing food. But it does far more than this. It
alters, or changes, the processes of nutrition, restoring the
uornial functions of the various organs and tissues.
SccttS Smttsteru
of Cod-liver Oil with hypophosphites, is pure cod liver in a
digested condition. So that when a person gains in weight
from taking Scott's Emulsion, it is because of two things :
First, the oil has acted as a fat-producing food ; and, second,
it has restored to the body a healthy condition. Such an
improvement is permanent; it conies to stay.
