The Smiths Are Wanted.

A foreign demand has arisen to
know the whereabouts of the Smith
family in the United States. An adj
vertiser in the New York Herald
who gives his address as Is Rue st.
Peres, Paris, wants the address Of
the Smith family in America, and he
has added the word Urgent" to his
advertisement. He does not say that
the man who discovers the where
abouts of the Smith family and re-
ports it will be suitably rewarded
neither does he say that the Smiths
will hear Of something to their ad,
vantage by addressing him. He
merely says. 1.-THE Smith family

quested to send present address. =

THE LUCKY SEVEN.
Everything Points to Bryan.
FIGURES WON'T LIE
An Interesting Article Concerning the
Democratic Nominee for Presi-
dent and the Figure Seven.

There is, perhaps, no superstition
so general throughout the civilized
world as that: regarding the figure 1a
being an unlucky number. How ii
originated, perhaps will never be
known, but it is generally attributed
to the presence of the Twelve Apostles
and Christ at his last supper. There
is also worldwide superstition re-
garding the figure I being lucky
number, and throughout all the rail-
roads of this country the engineers in
variably select the in preference to
any other engine. 1t Is said that
many Of the railroads omit numbering
an engine 10, because it is difficult to
get an engineer to take charge of it.
When the Democratic nominee for
President, w. j. Bryan, arrived at
Chicago, several weeks before the con-
yention convened, he put up at hotel
the name Of which is spelled with I
letters-Clifton. The clerk assigned
him to Room No. I. The committee
in charge of the arrangements had
just seven coupons printed on the tick
cts of admission, and there were just
seven business sessions of the conyen-
ton.

then went home. The allurementso Of

Bryan made friends even With his
great handicap of youth and inexperi-
ence. He had a charm of manner that
won him recognition and invited con-
fidence. Judge Crisp was impressed
with the promise in the Young, smooth
shaven member from the valley of the
Platte. He had helped Crisp In his
canvass for the speakership, and Crisp
put him on the important ways and

honor, which, while 1t gave him a

much criticism.

DEMOCRACY'S
CANDIDATE.
Sketch of William Jen-
nings Bryan.
THE MAN AND HIS RECORD
An Eloquent Champion of the
Common People.
HIS WIFE, FAMILY AND HOME.


His Birth and Observation-Disclosures
in His Early Years--His Career in
Congress--His Famous Campaign
For Congress--His Wife, His Home
and His Family.
William Jennings Bryan, the Dem
ocratic nominee for president of the
United States, is but SO years OF age,
a year older than the limit OF eligi-
bility provided for by the constitu-
ton. But he has the appearance
despite his smooth face-the ripe
wisdom and the experience in politics
and business Of a man much older.
He was born on farm just outside
the little town of Salem, His, in the
year 1860. His father, a lawyer OF
high standing, represented the Salem
district in the State Senate for eight
years and was circuit judge foe twelve
years.
Judge Bryan had strong religious
sentiments and had peculiar habit
of opening his court with devotional
exercises, and at noon the court al
ways adjourned for prayer.
DR.. Hin says that Bryan was a re-
markable child in his tender years,
and could read and write before he
was years old.
A BORN ORATOR.
His oratorical powers were develop
ed at very early age When but a
mere boy he was accustomed to stand
up before his playmates at school and
on the street and pour forth words OF
eloquenee. This wonderful gift
brought distinction to him in his
childhood, and when he had reached
his twelfth year his father took him
TO great Democratic demonstration
in Centralia, His, and there he began
his political career.
The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1896-07-25

Aitei nearing addresses from the
most distinguished men in the State.
the lad mounted the platform. He had
proceeded but short time when the
audience became spellbound under the
sway of the boy orators burning elo-
! quence.
Soon ripple Of applause greeted
the speaker; then the audience, catch
ing up the enthusiasm of the young
hero, became tumultons and he could
scarcely proceed because of the deaf
ening cheers which greeted every sem
| tenee.
1t was great triumph for the boy
orator and he was surrounded by those
present and carried away on the
shoulders of strong men. The whole
country around 'Centralia was electro
| fed, and young Bryan was made one
of the chief attractions during the
campaign.
Young Bryan was instructed at
home until 10 years old. Then fol-
lowed five years in the public schools;
two years in Whipple academy at
Jacksonville, Ills, and two years at
Jacksonville Qlls.) college. He grad
uated from the latter institution in
1881 as orator and valedictorian Of
his class. Soon afterward he entered
the Union Law college at Chicago,
from which he graduated In 1888.
He was connected with the law Of
fee Of ex-United States Senator Ly-
man Trumbull for time, and later
opened an Office in Jacksonville, Ills,
but removed to Nebraska's capital in
1887 and began to gain prominence.
He was elected to Congress in the
First Nebraska district in 1890 over
w. ]. Cornell, of Omaha, and was
reelected over Allen w. Field, of
Lincoln in 1892. In 1894 Mr.. Bryan
declined third nomination, and was
nominated by the Democratic State
convention for United States Senator
by the unanimous vote of the conven-
tion. The Republicans, however,
had a majority in the Legislature,
and Bryan was defeated for the sena-
torship. Since Mr., Bryan's congress
term expired he has given his time
exclusively to spreading the doctrine
of free silver.
He first appeared in the political
arena of Nebraska in the campaign of
1888, when he stumped the First dis
trict for j. Sterling Morton, nominee
for Congress. The same year he de-
fclined nomination for lieutenant
governor. On July 80, $780, he was
nominated for Congress and wrote a
platform on which he ran. Nobody
but himself thought he could be elect
ed. He stumped the district on the
tariff issue and won fame as a politi-
cal orator through the State.
He was remarkable campaign ora
tor. Being a young man barely 80
years of age, and resident of the
State but three years, and without
money to use in the contest, he over
turned plurality Of 3, 400 given his
opponent two years before and rolled
up plurality OF 6,713 for himself.
In speaking of Bryan's power as an
orator, an admirer once said:
"Bryan neglects none of the Access
series of oratory. Nature richly dow
cred him with rare grace. He is hap
Ply in attitude and pose. His gestures
are on Hogarth's line of beauty. Mel
lifious is the word that most aptly de-
scribes his voice. 1t is strong enough
to be heard by thousands; it is sweet
enough to charm those least inclined
to music. 1t is so modulated as not
to vex the ear with monotony, and
can be stern or pathetic, fierce or gen

information, adding that this was
particular handicraft which the Prince
chose to learn when boy, the queen
and Prince Consort having made 1t a
rule that each of the Princes should
receive a thoroughly practical training
in some trade. They were allowed TO
choose the one which they liked best.
1t is said that the Prince has worn
shoes. of his own make which were the
envy of every gentleman who saw them
and that he did not forget to name the
maker. His own knowledge makes MIN
