MARY FoRREs CODE.

Gen. Washington's troops. During the
late civil war the Bryan home in Ken
lucky was repeatedly pillaged by the
forces of both sides, and to avoid the
ravages of the contending armies Mrs.
Bryan frequently journeyed to Indiana
in a covered wagon.
The venerable woman is remarkably
vigorous and well preserved. Though
"a years of age lacking but few months
she insists on helping her daughter
with the household duties. When the
word arrived that her relative had been
nominated for president she was at the
washtub, doing the family laundering.
The next day, when press representa-
tives called to see her, she was engaged
with the weeks ironing.
She was surprised and pleased over
the information of her great-grand-
sons preferment, and she sent him a
telegram of congratulation. She did
not promise him her vote, however, as
she is a lifelong republican and de-
clares she is too old to think of chang
ing her politics now. She expressed the
hope that her distinguished descendant
if elected would make as good a presi-
dent as Abraham Lincoln, who is her
ideal of chief executive. She is OPP
posed to the present method of con-
Quoting campaigns, declaring them a
needless waste of money that should
go to the aid of the poor.
She is-a member of the ''Predestinar-
ian Baptist church" as she calls it, and
is an estimable Christian woman.
She has used tobacco all her life, OBJ
tanning much comfort from her pipe,
which she still, smokes daily.

Mary Forbes Cobb, One of Indiana's
Oldest Women.
She Is the step-Great- GRANDMOTHER of
william Jennings Bryan Now
Lives with Her Daughter In
New London, Ind.

In the village of New London, ten
miles west of Kokomo, Ind, resides an
old woman now nearing the century
mark, who claims double relation
ship to William j. Bryan, recently nomi-
mated for president of the United
States. Her name is Mary Forbes Cobb,
formerly resident of Kentucky, but
for 16 years making her home with her
daughter, Mrs. Susan McDaniels. Mrs.
Cobb is step-great-grandmother of w.
]. Bryan, and is also related to the young
Nebrasl1an by blood.
Her story of the relationship, which
is vouched for by the family and con-
frmed by the Bible records, according
TO the Chicago Tribune, is as follows:
She was born in Frankfort, KY, on
January IL, 1903. In 1920 she was
married to Louis Howard Bryan, the
great-grandfather of the nominee, at
that time a young widower with two
children, George T., the older, being the
grandfather of William j. Bryan. She
reared George as her own son from
early infancy until reaching mans es-
tate, when he moved to Illinois. Her
maiden name was Mary Forbes Gano,
and she is blood relative of the older
Bryan, her mother being Bryan, a
cousin of her husband, Five children
were born to Louis H. and Mary Forbes
Bryan.
Twelve years after the death of Mr..
Bryan she married Elisha Cobb, who
died in 1914. There were six children by
the latter union.
She lived in Clark and Owen counties,
Ky., residing for years near the home of
Henry CLAW, with which family she was
well acquainted. She distinctly re-
members the visit of De Kalb to this
country and the homage paid him by
the soldiers of the revolution.
Her first husband, Louis Howard
Bryan, was in the war Of 1912, entering
when II years old and remaining to the
close of the conflict.
The elderly woman has an interest
ing collection of revolutionary relics.
Her grandfather. John Gano. was a

How She Keeps Them Plump, White,
and Unwrinkled.
"You are quite right in your surmise
that her majesty possesses wonderfully
beautiful hands, though they are by no
means small for her height; that they
are plump, white and unwrinkled.
Would you like to know the reason?"
asked the manicure, who was beautify-
ing my hands for dinner party.
OF course, says the writer in Answers,
/ was all attention.
"Well, as you are doubtless aware, her
majesty is great knitter. Indeed, she
is invariably at work with her needles,
either at scarfs or mittens for the poor,
little vests for her many great-grand-
children, or cot and bedquilts. The mere
exercise induced by knitting and the
position assumed by the hands tend TO
whiten, refine and keep them in good
shape, while, in the same way, the
hands never look more attractive than
when SO employed"
