ly easy gait, and Mr. Bland goes in for comfort, not show.
 So semiweekly the great advocate of tho rights of the white metal rides his venerable black pony into the town and halts at the same hitching post in front of the postoface and ties her there, and the folks of Lebanon smile and pass the word to one another:
 ffThere come Nellie and NIT. Bland v
 And then they crowd around the latter to shake hands with him and talk pci- tics after the manner of all true Mis- sourians.
 There are occasions when Mr. Bland is accompanied into Lebanon by Mrs. Bland and two or three of the six Bland children, and when this is the case Mol lie is left at liberty in the big blue grass pasture stretching south of the Bland homestead. The family rockaway IS then brought into use, and between its well worn shafts may be seen Peter, the carriage horse, dear as an heir loom to all the Blands, because Peter has been their carriage horse for IS years and is just like one of the family. There is a tradition among the people of Lebanon to the effect that Peter has made this trip into town so often that he insists upon it's consisting of just so many steps at such gait, and that when he misses his calculation by half Q dozen paces or so he goes back home and starts all over again. This, how ever, is given only as tradition, not as 8 cold fact

 "The time has come the walrus said,
 To talk of many things.
 -.sAlice In Wonderland"
 And now it is time to talk of Bland of Missouri--Dick Bland, as he is fondly termed by all those who live in and around the little town of Lebanon, which has been his home for the last 20 years-time to talk of him because pub lie interest in him is just now at white heat. The silver question, his beloved hobby, to which he has devoted the best years of his life, has now so far devel- oped that the tail has dropped off the interrogation point, and it Is no longer q question, but determined proposi- tion-the gold men say q menace-and Mir Bland may be called upon to take charge of the great, untutored force which his efforts have evoked.
 In view of such q contingency, it is well to know something more about this man, something more than the bare fact that he is and. has been for q score or more of years the acknowledged na- tional champion of free silver
 Richard Parks Bland was born near Hartford. Ky, Aug. 10, 1885. His par ents were poor. His father died when he was mere baby, and his mother passed away when Richard was a boy of 12
 From that time the life of Dick Bland reads like most of the histories of America s great men. He first secured work as ;a hired farmland at $7 month. He used to rise before dawn, and after breakfast of plain, coarse food wait fer daybreak to begin his work, which lasted through the burning summer sun until after twilight.
 The few hours he had were given to diligent study and were never idle rec reation.

What is true concerning Peter and his sacred claims on the family rockaway is that about three years ago Mir Bland bought span of carriage horses and re- tired Peter to the rustic but honorable blow. The new span of horses were a great improvement on Peter, so far as appearances went but one day they got frightened at passing Frisco train and tried to run away with full cargo of Blands homeward bound, and from that moment Peter had job for life be- tween the rockaway shafts.

 reation.
 In the Wild West.
 A few years later the orphan moved with family of relatives to Virginia City, Ney, and it is of these years in the new wild west that Mir. Bland tells many amusing and interesting stories. Here he rose to the dignity of school teacher, but instead of branching out, '' as the young men of today. he saved as much as possible from his small salary for the education of q younger sister These amounts were sent by travellers in stagecoaches to faraway Missouri In every way he endured the hardships and sacrifices which make men great.
 The youthful sehoolmaster after a time became quite a Beau Brummel in the "smart set. :" He taught singing school and courted many of the fair maidens who learned from him the good cid songs.
 After a number of years Mir Bland concluded to visit Missouri the home of his childhood Of course he was ex- peeted to make the round of the different schools and received pressing invita- tion from one of the professors to attend the commencement at Bellevue, young girls seminary in Caledonia. Mo.
 It was during the period when de- bates first became q fad, especially at young women's s schools The thrilling subject for that memorable day was, Docs Hope or Memory Exert Most In- fiuence Upon the World?'' Miss Virginia MSfohaI1 s1a,,al,Np1 of Co,,nra1 Mitchell and niece of Judge Thomas, now assistant attorney general, lovely girl with brown curls, violet eyes and Madonnahke face and gowned in sim pie white, contended that s'hope" ex- cited greater influence, and MT. Bland thought so too. At least he was inspired with so much of it that he let some ex- pression of it escape him in the course of a conversation with Miss Mitchell The result was that he was soon recog- nized as the accepted suitor for her hand, and after a proper term of courtship the young pedagogue took her as his wife.
 He settled down. as the country phrase goes. at Rolla, Phelps county, Mo-, in 1865, and began the practice of  law His studious energy and indefati- gable will soon won him place at the head of the local bar He afterward moved to Lebanon, and it was not long until he was picked cut as good congress sional timber and sent to Washington to help make the laws of the land.
 His untiring fight for free silver, which he continued through the successive ses- sions of congress held during his eleven terms of service as representative, is q matter of history with which all are ac- quainted.
 His Home Life.
 While it cannot be denied that, like an old warhorse, MT. Bland has found real enjoyment in the endless battle he has waged, his home life i'll Missouri has been his greatest joy. He is plain, hnassuming man, even in the glare of public life, but at home he is unconven. tionality itself
 His two story red brick house stands one mile from Lebanon. When he goes into Lebanon twice ! week for his mail, he rides an ancient black pony named Mollie, and his feet nearly touch the ground on either side. The people of Lebanon have laughed at Mollie for many a year, but Mir Bland does not care for their laughing, because Molie is rocking chair pacer" of wondrous-
