He Left Home on Friday. Was Nomi-
mated for President on Friday and
His Room Was No. 10.
II there is anything in omens William
jennings Bryan would seem to be on the
unlucky side. Not only did bis nomina-
ton happen on Friday, but he wal as.
signed to and occupied room No. IS at
the Clifton House during convention.
He also took another room, No. 80, when
Mrs. Bryan arrived here, but he never
theless hung on to No. IS as long as he
remained in the city.
II is curious fact, too, in this connec-
ton, as illustrating the extent to which
the number IS has entered into his life
here, that he left the city on his way to
his former home in Salem in this state,
on the 18th day of the month. 1t may
be that MIR. Bryan in defiance OF the
time-honored superstition, looks upon IS
as an omen of good, rather than I'LL.
Either that or there will be many who
will see in this commingling OF the NUM-
Der 1S and Friday evidences of the dis
aster awaiting the ambitious young Neb-
raskan. 1t is probably the fact, how
ever that he had more fun for his money
than any OF the visitors to the convention,
for his bill at the Clifton house for both
himself aud Mrs. Bryan amounted to
only $43.50.
few days after bis arrival he handed
Mr. Kohler package Of bills amounting
to $60 with the request that he place
them in the Office safe.
This was done and on his departure he
walked UP to the cashiers window and
aeked for his bill, at the same time call
ing for the $50 and expressing the hope
that it was sufficient to square his
account.
He was told by the clerk that it was
more than enough and when he was
handed receipted bill and $16.50 he
said, with much satisfaction:
III there is another man who can come
here and get the presidential nomination
and only pay hotel bill of $4350 /
would like to find him."
The remark was overheard by several
men who were standing near and laugh
was raised by one OF them saying:
1T once cost me $500 30 try to get the
nomination for governor"
Mr.. Bryan joined In the laugh and,
turning, said to the speaker:
Perhaps 1t was cheaper to lose the
$500 than to get tho nomination. -

The hills slope down to the valley the streams
run down t) the sea,
And my heart, my heart, oh, far one, sets and
strains toward thee,
But only the feet of the mountain are felt By
the rim of The plain
And the source and soul of the hurrying
stream reach not the calling main.
The dawn Is sick for the daylight, the morning
yearns for the noon,
And the twilight signs for the evening star and
the rising OF the moon
But the dawn and the daylight never were
seen in the selfsame skies,
And the cleaning dies Of its own desire when
the moon and the stars arise.
The springtime calls to the summer, "Oh
mingle your life with mine,''
And summer to autumn plaineth low. "Must
the harvest be only thine?''
But the nightingale goes when the swallow
comes, ere the leaf is the blossom fled,
And when autumn sits on her golden sheave
then the reign Of the rose is dead.
And hunger and thirst, and wall and want,
are lost in che empty air.
And the heavenly spirit vainly pines for the
touch of the earthly fair,
And the hills slope down to the valley, the
streams run down to the sea,
And my heart my heart oh, far one, sets and
strains toward thee.
