WE AND OUR NEIGHBORS
t8
When Mrs. Bryan studied law, she
did it with the definite purpose of being
more congeuial companion to her hus
band. Since her marriage she and Mr.
Bryan have spent most of their leisure
studying togother. The habit of asso
ciation has been formed and a nomina
tion for the presidency seems to increase
their admiration and dependence on
each other. Southern politicians are
shocked, or profess to be, by Mrs.
Bryan's presence on the platform and
is committee meetings as well as by Mr.
Bryan's deference to her opinion. But
what are they going to do about it?
Mre. Bryan knows that her husband's
strong point is oratory and he knows it.
The committee knows it, too, but they
are afraid that the orator's temptation
to adapt his remarks strictly to the lo
cality he is speaking in order to thrill
his audience by local appeals may be
too strong for their man. The reporters
and the telegraph enlarge every audi
ence to the number of those who read
the papers. To have the audience rwe
at him, as it did at Chicago, has made
the boy orator headstrong. He did
what the committee advised him to do
in New York and the result was a fail
ure. The people who will vote for Mr.
Bryan are those who do not read much.
They have made hitr. their darling and
they want to hear him speak his best
piece. Before he comes west he will
probably speak to a New York audience
again. Mr. Gorman has retired. To
those who say Mr. Bryan will keep still
if the committee tells him too, I reply
in nearly the words of the famous bon
mot raadj in relation to the Vanderbilt
Wileofl wedding "You do not know the
Bryans."
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan are visiting Mr.
and Mrs. Ferrine whose home is tan the
Hudson. Mrs. Perrine was a teacher of
modern languages in Jacksonville semi
nary whea Mrs. Bryan was a student
there. They sat next each other at
table and became very fond of each
other. The teacher was attracted by
the unusual intelligence of Mary Baird
and by her sweetness of character.
The friendship, begun thee, has since
been kept up by letters and visits. The
fact of Mr. Perrine being a republican
is fortunate. It keeps the friendship
free from any suspicions o! future bene
fit either on one side or the other.
The day of the Madison Square ef
fort, while the doctor and his friends
were afraid Mr. Bryan would not be
able to speak at all, Mrs. Bryan was as
calm and confident as in ordinary times
at her home on D street. Her steadi
ness of purpose would inspire a feebler
determination than Mr. Br an possesses.
And he has long since shown that he
can do what she thinks ho cau.
The account of the speech, the heat,
and the gradual di. appearance of half
the audience was a great disappoint
ment to the Bryanites in the west, but
it steadied stocks and restorer" British
cesSdesce in American securities which
is what Nebraska farmers chiefly need
even if they do not know it and even if it
makes them mad to tell them so. No
mb liveih unto himself,' and no
ateuBt of gisgoism can establish the
ceatrary. Hard times in any of the
great nations of the earth, reacts upon
41 the others. It is a fact that the
United States has more important and
mere exteastve relations with England
tfcM with any ether nation. The adop
tion of a policy which would injure
American commerce with England,
would affect the prosperity of both
countries, Lut England wculd suffer less
than this country because of the greater
contiguity of English, European- and
Asiatic ports. The people of the Un i ted
States can do as they like with their
own, to the point of destroying it, al
though such destruction would be hard
upon the other people of the United
States. It is a question with even the
most violent Americo-maniacs if it be
worth while to spoil our own face in
orderto cut off England's nose, horrid
as that nose is.
Few of the New York democrats of
station have called on Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan, and their aloofness convinced
Mrs. Bryan, at least, that it was folly to
tru6t to their wisdom in the conduct of
the campaign.
a
When the Sryans were in Washing
ton, during Mr. Bryan's term m Wash
ington, they enjoyed themselves as a
young couple, who have lived a secluded
life, can. They went to theatres, con
certs and operas all they wanted to.
They lived with a family named Bride,
whose house was very near the
congressional library. Mrs. Bryan spent
hours there reading and searching for
books. After the first winter the Bryan
family look the upper half of the Bride
bouse and kept house just as conveni
ently as at home. Mrs. Bryan, in her
leisure hours, wrote stories, Bome of
which have been published. The
"Youth's Companion'' accepted a story
from her which it has not yet published.
The story is a true one. Its hero is a
canary that - belonged to Mary Baird
when she was a little girl, aod which
died in Lincoln only a year or two ago.
Ruth and William buried it out in the
yard and put up a little monument for
it. The bird was very bright, and his
intelligence was developed to the high
est point by associating on the most
confidential terms with human beings
for twenty years. Mrs. Bryan's story
relates his successful attempt to com
municate with her, his dislike of a mate
that was put in the same cage with
bim, and his death at the end of a long
and honorable career. She wrote also
many of ths short notes that are placed
under copies of the pictures that were
shown at the World's Fair, a collection
issued by a Washington publishing
bouse. Her creative mind was content
with her surroundings at this time. She
liked to hear the debates in congiese,
the liked sitting in the vast library with
its thousands of books she says just
the sight and smell of them were a
pleasure; she liked wandering over the
city with her husband. Sundays they
went to the different churches of the
city. It did not make any difference
what denomination the preacher be
longed to, whenever they heard of an
eloquent preacher they went to hear
him with the unattached freedom of
strangers. A festival of the Catholic
church attracted them one Sunday and
on the next one they might be listening
to .a young Buddhist priest, who
charmed everybody who heard him.
Mrs. Bryan's study of the book called
"The Parliament of Religions." had
broadened her views of other religions
while enhancing, by contrst, the beauty
and strength of her own.

The readers of this paper will be
pleasedto learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
.he medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional -treatenient. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
cting adirectly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of thedisea
se, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work

its curative powers, that they offer

We have purchased (because it Is
just the thing we have needed) the
Columbian Cyclopedia Library, con
sisting of the Columbian encyclopedia,
which is also an unabridged dictionary
thirty-two volumes of convenient size
neatly bound, four volumes of thean
nual cyclopedic review, lour volumes of
current historyfor 1896, one Columbian
atlas and the neat convenient revolving
oak cas ewlth glass doors. From the
evidence obtained we find that some
part of this work is placed in the
best private and public library in this
country an dabroad, for the reason
that they cover a field relative to the
past, present and future progress
and achievements of the human race
not attempted by others. The plan
is original, and -the work throughout
is carefully and ably written.
Current history icon tains 220 pages.
Is Issued two months after the close
of each quarter, this length of time
being taken to reduce all Information
received to be an absolutely reliable
and authentic basis. If these are
kept on file, this magazine will prove
a permanent and invaluable record of
all important movementsIn political,
social religious, literary, educational
scientific and industrial affairs.
The magazine will be Indispensible
to all people who have encyclopedias,
as it will be needed to keep these
works up to dat To those who da
not own encyclopedias It will be doubly
valuabl" as their source of information
Is more limited. About March of
each year the four volumes of current
history are bound into one volume,
known as the Annuai Cyclopedic Re
view. There are now four of these
bound volumes covering yearsl892-3-4
and 5. The work has for endorsers
