married. Then there was little house
ready for them in an Illinois town, and
for this first home of their married life
the organs have great affection. A
deep attachment to whatever spot has
been called home" seems to be a
Bryan characteristic.
Their Lincoln (Neb.) household con-
sists Of Mrs. Bryan's father, who has
suffered great affection in the loss Of
his sight The three children. Ruth,
Grace and William j., are all wide
awake school children. Grace attends
a kindergarten. Mrs. Bryan believes
in the system, and, indeed, is an ad-
vocate of all practical education. II
she had sufficient time, her inclinations
are such that practical educational
movements would receive her active
support.
Outside of school, the mother keeps
an eye on the children's studies. A
while ago one of the children hadn't
received the desired percentage in one
study, and Mrs. Bryan ruled that until
the necessary rating was reached the
girl should not be allowed out.
The home life of the Bryans is not at
all complex. There is always one SER
want, sometimes two. Mrs. Bryan has

which she intends at all times shall be
the most attractive spot in the world
to her husband and children.
The organs enjoy music. Since her
marriage Mrs. Bryan has not kept up
TO play while she listens, either to the
piano in her own home or to the play
ers that visit Lincoln.
In addition to political and socio.ogi-
cal matters, Mrs. Bryan is thoroughly
posted on all current events. She
reads from preference those magazines
handling timely topics and events,
both foreign and domestic; things that
make history and would interest Mr..
Bryan. What she reads is thoroughly
digested. Besides this she finds time
TO read what critics place as "the"
works OF fiction OF the year. II Is an
American, Nathaniel Hawthorne. whose
delicacy. accuracy Of expression and
every characteristic most appeal to her
Mrs. Bryan doesn't care for fads,
such as hypnotism, palm reading and
theosophy. But she does find out what

interest in studying the different re-
ligions and creeds of the world.

Bryan's composition 1t Is egotism. 1t

IN THE BUTTERFLY NET.

For a quarter of an hour had a really
lively time. Mrs. Tremaine hectored
the Italian and the Italian objurgated
Mrs. Tremaine. Neither of them UNI
derstood a word the other said. and
had to act as interpreter and buffer.
Eventually, ! made the best terms
that l could. The Italian agreed. for a
consideration, to allow us to keep both
monkeys for a week. during which we
might discover their identity. Mrs.
Tremane quite readily agreed to the
proposal. for she was confident that no
monkey but JACKIE could possess
Jacko's virtues. | was more doubtful,
believing that the virtues were few
enough to be common to many mon
keys. And so it turned out. Both
monkeys made themselves quite at
home, overate themselves equally, stole
as cleverly, and, what was most re-
markable, searched with identical per-
sistence for the deceased Captain Ire
maine. Twice that week | had TO catch
two monkeys, and when they were both
in the butterfly net they nearly killed
each other. Mrs. TTemaine used to
look at them by the hour, and sob, and
call Jacko softly. They both answered
to the name, IL there was any food
about, and at other times preferred TO
be the other monkey.
at the end of the week the organ
grinder appeared punctually, and a
heartrending scene followed. No de-
cision had been come to till the morn
ing of his arrival, and then Mrs. Ire
maine and Maud differed as to which
was the real Jacko. The question had
to be decided, though II mattered little
should toss up. The flippancy OF the
suggestion annoyed them and led them
TO recrimination, but at last we agreed
to decide by lot, that being biblical
way out OF the difficulty and suitable
to the occasion. The organ grinder
went on his way contentedly and I
hoped the affair was at an end. But
| was very much mistaken. No sooner
| had he gone than Mrs. Tremaine and
Maud became convinced alike that they
had given up the real Jacko. They
said they were now certain OF Il. Poor
dear Jacko was sitting on a barrel or
gan in cold street and engaged in the
degrading occupation of collecting cop
/ pers, and monkeys were liable TO con-
| sumption, and what would dear papa
think If he were alive?
Il stood this for about ten days and
then / went to the italian again, hay-
/ ing obtained his address In case OF fur
ther complications. His affections were
apparently now extended to both mon
keys, for he consented to an exchange
for further consideration. Surely,
thought TO myself Maud and her
mother will be content now. But no
the thing began all over again. The
former Jacko was their darling and
they'd given him up when they'd got
ten him safe. and II was by my advice
and IL was all my fault. Twice more
exchanged those monkeys, and, at last

WOULD you BELIEVE
That You Can Walk s5.s53 Miles a.
Houre


Hours
Have you ever thought OF the dis
lance you travel while you are out on
an hours stroll? Possibly you walk
three miles within the hour. but that
does not by any means represent the
distance you travel. The earth turns
on its axis every twenty-four hours.
For the sake OF round figures We will
call the earth's circumference $4,000
miles, and so you must have travelled
during the hours stroll 1000 miles In
the axial turn OF the earth. But this Is
not all. The earth makes a journey
around the sun every year. and a long
but rapid trip II Is. The distance OF our
planet from the sun we VIII put at 90,
600. 900 miles. This is the radius OF the
earth's orbit-half the diameter Of the
circle. as We call II. The whole diam
eter is therefore 100000 miles, and
the circumference being the diameter
multiplied by 3.14l6,is about SIS, 000, 900.
This amazing distance the earth travels
in its yearly journey. and dividing II
by S65 We find the daily speed about
1866 900. Then. to get the distance you
rode around the sun during your hours
walk, divide again by "a, and the result
is about $4,000 miles. But this Is not
the end of your hours trip. The sun,
with its entire brood Of planets, is NOV
ing in space at the rate of 100. 000, 900
miles in year. This is at the rate OF
little more than $4,000 miles
day. or 1880 miles an hour. So,
adding your three miles OF leg travel TO
the hours axial movement of the earth,
this to the earth's orbital journey, and
that, again. to the earth's excursion
with the sun, and you find you have
travelled, in the hour. S5.253 miles.

There have been several amend

election law but as we do not know
what they are, of course we are un-
able to express an opinion or inform
our readers. From the papers, we
see that one of the propositions Is
to reduce the number of Supervis-
ors of Elections from 3 to 2-one
Democrat and one Republican
and to have the Governor appoint.
How such plan would work we
cannot predict until we see what
provisions are made to secure ap-
pointments in case of a disagree.
ment between the two Supervisors.
