sRYAN,s BoYBooD AMBITION.

One of the most interesting reminis-
cences of Bryan's boyhood days was
recited to the ILTELLIGENCER by a Lex
ington lady. She formerly resided in
Salem, ILL.,, and was a near neighbor for
many years of Judge Silas Bryan, the
father of the next president. Over
twenty years ago this lady was n guest of
the Bryan family. At the same time j.
M. Chance, then a lad OF sixteen sum-
mers, was visiting the younger Bryan
who was about the same age. One day
the lady asked the two boys what their
ambitions were. Young Chance replied
that he wanted to be a great musician.
Today he is known as Prof. j. M. Chance,
and is one of the greatest musicians of
Pennsylvania. He is a young man yet
and is rapidly rising in his profession.
To the same question young Bryan
replied that he wanted first to go to con-
gress and after that he was going to be
president. He is 80 years old now and
has made a national reputation as con-
gresham and is now the nominee on the
winning ticket for president. The lady
who asked the question OF these two
boys is Mrs. NJ. e. Nickel, and were they
her sons she could not tax a more
affectionate pride in their distinction.
She has entertained them both at her
home in this city. Perhaps no one in Mis-
souri, knows as much about the next
president as she, and in speaking OF his
character she emphasizes the fact that in
his home life w. J. Bryan is a mode
man, that he does not drink, swear,
gamble, and hat into every act of life he
carries q beautiful christian character.

TICKET NOMINATED.
The Followers of Mckinley
Meet and Elect Conven-
ton Delegates.
INDORSE WELBORN FOR CONGRESS
And Put a Ticket in the Field for
the County Offices.

The republicans met in county conven-
ton Wednesday, and named delegates to
the senatorial, congressional and state
conventions, and placed a county ticket
in the field. The convention was not
characterized by that enthusiasm that
usually characterizes party conventions.
The Lexington republicans had rented
the elegant New Grand opera house, had
secured the Wellington band and had
decorated the opera house in an artistic
manner. II inanimate surroundings
could have worked enthusiasm the repub-
lican convention ought to have boiled
over with it. But the gold log was on
Uncle Sam and with the declaration that
they intended to leave it on him, there
was nothing left for the Lafayette coun-
tyans to enthuse over. When the con-
~vention was called to order Mayor Taub-
man was introduced and delivered an
address of welcome. His speech was well
worded and we'll delivered. He was the
first man to mention McKinley's name to
the convention. But the naming of
the nominee did not even get a cheer. 1t
was an opportunity for cheers, but there
were none forthcoming. The temporary
chairman was Mel. G. James. The tenn
porary secretary was Dan Hoefer. Sam
Kleinschmidt in turning over the chair
to James made a good talk and succeeded
in arousing some cheering. James also
made a speech and added a few cheers to
the list. The convention was then open
for business. u. G. Phetzing moved that
each township appoint n member each on
committee on resolutions, credentials and
permanent organization. The motion was
adopted and the following committees
appointed:

into the mystery of 1t; but his tempta- tions were real temptations. He knew what it was to bear the sins-not only the sorrowg, but the sins-of others. AS father feels shame in the shame of his child, as child feels shame in the crime of his father, as wife suffers more for the sin of her huaband than the husband suffers himself, so He suf- fered for the sins of those he loved. Every heart that has ever felt the sor- row and shame of another's sin may know little swhat Christ suffered for you and for me. He came into onr life that he might bring his life into our life; he came not that he might appease God, not that he might offer gift which 1 you and could give to God; he came as the strong One that he might give strength to us in our weakness, and the rich One that he might give wealth to us in our poverty, and the wise One that he might give his wisdom to us in our | ignorance. He came as one comes who comes down into the homes and abodes of the poor, the ignorant, the despised, the outcast, to make their home his home, their condition his life-that he might give his life for others. He is Gods gift to us. And we shall never understand the meaning of the sacrifice of Christ until we in some measure un- derstand this.
 The old theology repre- sented Christ az sacrifice for God. And men have reacted against that, and try to sweep away the notion of sacrifice altogether, and think of Christ only as B teacher and an example. We shall not under stand his mission until we come to see that his coming into life is Gods sacrifice to men; that he has entered into life, and taken the shame and the sin of life, in order that he might give 1 life. If l could paint the shadow of the cross, would not paint it with yawn- ing boy, the shadow the token of his weariness on the wall. Have you not seen the mother stand with her arms outstretched, and the little child, seeing the mothers arms outstretched, run quickly to the mother that the mother arms might clasp him to her bosom? would put the shadow of that mother love upon the wall, for Gods love reaches sut to lay hold upon the weak est, the feeblest, and the poorest; and the cross of Christ is that shadow thrown upon earth of that inviting and embracing love.-[The Outlook.
