DR.. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio;
Dear Sir--The bottle of Pe-ru-na at
hand. It is splendid and most invig-
Grating; refreshing to the nerves and
brain. 1t is one Of the beet tonics have
ever used. 1t makes me feel like a new
man. Yours sincerely, r. B. Mantell.
Catarrh Is one of the ways in which a
depressed condition OF. the nervous sys-

soon made nervous. Any remedy TO effect
a radical cure of chronic catarrh must
operate directly through the nerves, in
vigorating the mucous circulation.

a small acreage, a short drive from
Lincoln; and if Mr.. Bryan can be
spared from the duties of the town and
the demands of the telephone and tele-
graph. the family adjourn to the farm
for the day. Here there are pigs and
COWS and horses and here Mr. Bryan
puts on boots and goes out with his
son on a tour of inspection. The day
soon passes and night brings them all
back to Lincoln, where Mr.. Bryan finds
a world of work waiting for him.
Sometimes he spends weeks at the
farm.
In the meanwhile Mrs. bryan has
been at work She is a sprightly
dark-eyed woman, of high scholarly
entertainments, and a mind of her own.
While very feminine, as her taste for
a big family attests, she is at the same
time quite incapable of the fads and
follies of wOmankind. She loves to in
struct her children, delights in read
ing with them, and more than all en-
joys conducting her husbands bust
ness under his direction.
MRS. BRYAN.
Mrs. Bryan is one of the most capa-
BILE secretaries in existence. She can
take her husbands miscellaneous col
lection of letters and assert them She
can separate the political letters from
the semi personal ones; and out of
these she can select the business let
tiers; for Mr.. Bryan earns his living,
and, as a professional man, has a large
mail
Then comes the answering. The per-
sonal letters are all written with her
own hands upon a typewriter in the
use of which she is very proficient
Among the letters she answers are
those telling Mr.. Bryan that a baby
has arrived and has been named after
him. Usually the photograph of the
child is enclosed and then Mrs. Bryan
adds a few diplomatic words COM
mending its beauty and apparent live
illness. Other letters are from I'M
known but personal friends, while a
great bunch are from souvenir hunt
ers who beg a button, an autograph
or a leaf from the big tree on the farm.
Mr. Bryan does not always see these
letters. it is said, but Mrs. Bryan at
tends to them.
The business letters are answered by
Mr.. Bryan and, where the remainder
of the CORES ondence falls too heavily
upon him, his wife again takes up the
thread of the daily mail and carries it
on. 1t is said that, were it not for his
wife, with her labor-sa saving qualities.
Mr.. Bryan could scarcely afford to car
ry a political campaign; for he is
rot rich enough to hire the secretaries
that would be needed.
Mr.. Bryan's favorite dishes are those

AN INSIDE VIEW.
However well acquainted with China
an observer may be, unless he has been
on the ground recently and has watched
events his opinions may be entitled to
little weight. Even the views of men
now in China should be received with
many allowances, for all shades of
opinion are represented there.
The missionaries, who constitute a
great-perhaps the most numerous
part of the foreigners, look only to the
spiritual side of the questions. To
them the supreme object is the spread
of religion, and they would welcome
any government which would insure
them and their converts freedom and
protection.
To the foreigner generally, the Chin
csc are interiors. Nothing that they
do is proper, and they have no right
that any white man should respect. It
is perfectly natural, right and proper
to him that the empire shall be parti-
toned. 1t is even the duty of the white
race to take this inferior race under it's

presidential year. has come around
again; and in November the people VIII
have the privilege of deciding which Of
the several candidates will have the
power of ruling over them for the next
four years.
The Office of President of the United
States is an honorary one, as all rulers
will tell you. He is the spokesman of
the nation, it's proud Head, it's final
Voice: otherwise, it is asserted, in ac-
tual power he has less to determine
than many an official under him, and
appointed by him.
Be that as it may, 1t is certain that
no president of recent days has assert
ed himself determinedIy, in the face of.
and against the wishes of those asso-
ciated with him. The office as now used
is more one of high associative powers,
than of actual rulership-
No doubt remains in the mind of any
good citizen as to the outcome of the
next election. The voice of the people
is too strong, the demand for certain
president of certain powers too great.
This newspaper tells you in its editorial
columns who the man will be-
Yet there are two candidates at the
head of the two great parties that
claim attention.
First alpha betically comes William
]. Bryan. the man who four years ago
measured swords with William Nc
Kinley and is doing so again this year.
These candidates are alike in many
respects. The most unprejudiced OBJ
server will tell you so. Aside from their
political views which are widely di-
vergent they walk almost evenly in
personality.
When William J. Bryan rises in the
morning it is to look around upon the
walls of his very pretty home in Lin
coin, Nebraska. His house is not
pretentious one; rather such a house
as is found along every grass bordered
walk in a city of medium size. His
household consists of a wife and three
children, of all of whom he is particu-
larly fond. Ruth, the fourteen year
old daughter has fallen into the way
of mana ging her mothers home; and it
is she who pours out her fathers first
cup of coffee and sees that his break
fast is properly served Ordinarily the
Bryan family does not aim to keep
more than a single servant but in the
trying times of campaign days, and
with the rush of official callers, it is
necessary to increase the household to
meet the demands upon it

cooked from home recipes. Mrs. Bryan
has several favorite ones that are serv-
ed up frequently.
President Mckinley has the same
fondness for his home. He does not go
duck shooting, does not frequent clubs,
cares nothing for fishing, unless off the
side of a big boat upon which his wife
can rest easily and never takes mascu-
line jaunts away from home.
His day is regulated more in accord
ance with the needs of a delicate wife
than though there were children and
robust helpmeet- It is late when the
Mckinley breakfast is served and often
the head of the house has read his
mail and is well ahead on the work
of the day before the dainty breakfast
is served.
THE M'KINLEY HOUSE.
The Mckinley house at Canton was
formerly such a tiny affair that it en-
barrassed the family dreadfulIy when
visitors arrived unexpectedly. It is re-
lated how. on one occasion, Mrs. Nc
Kinley's niece came rushing into the

Ida, Senator A and Congressman B.
and Secretary c. are all here to stay
over night; and Minister So-and-so is
expected with his son, and his broth
er. We will have to put them three in
a bed"
The Mckinley house has been re-
Gently enlarged to accommodate the
people who come and Mrs. Mckinley
is furnishing it very prettily-
Mrs. Mckinley is more of home
body than Mrs. Bryan, necessarily, for
she is in frail health No worse physi-
cally than many an American woman
she differs decidedly from the vigorous
new woman. She sits most of the time
and knits, instead of reading, as read
ing tires her too much.
After the family breakfast Mr.. Nc
Kinley devotes an hour to his wife who
has cultivated the art of being agree
able to her husband. All the good
things of the day are told to her and
she hears the best of the coming plans.
She takes an interest in all matters

that are related to her and is a very
pleasant companion.
Then callers begin to arrive, most of
them on business. and the hard work
of the day begins
OF hardy stock William Mckinley
shows his strength in the manner in
which he attends to his correspon-
dence day after day, month after
month, and year after year. 1t is

who answers the personal letters tell

cheon table, and a still more weary
one, who goes back to the endless task
of letter writing.
1t is fully four o'clock before Mr..
Mckinley can seek his wife again;
and then the two go for drive.
The horses are good and the pace
brisk and both seem to enjoy the hour
extremely. Here again you admire Mr.
Mckinley physically for he has the
most wonderful recuperative powers.
When he returns from his drive he is
as fresh as ever; and at dinner he is
ready to converse, a thing he could
scarcely have had the vitality for an
hour previous.
Evenings are devoted to callers, and
to music in the Mckinley home-nor
are the hours late ones. Mr.. Mckinley
rarely goes out and by 10 o'clock the
house is closed. Often its master seeks
his desk again and works far into the
night.
