SO, said. speaking of the Nebraskan:
II gave Bryan some good advice once,
but probably he thought lightly of it;
any way he didn't follow it, told
him to go abroad, to travel over many
lands, write descriptive articles of his

coin and enter upon the practice of
his profession. fcresaw that even as
great a man as he is can't be too much
On exhibition without weakening him
