Sorosis which has had such a sue
cessful career. Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Sawyer organized about the came
time 1.-The Round Table" The lat
ter was supposed to include only the
husbands Of Sorosis women. But this
was poor rule. for IL would not work
both ways. Frequently the man Of
the house Is found To be fond Of ds-
cussiOn and argument and light On
subjects like free silver and kindred
topics; on the other hand some Soro.
sis husbands prefer cards and refresh
ments. 1t was found impossible 10
keep the rule and continue the Round
Table. so the rule was abolished. The
first meeting 0f Sorosis was held at
Mrs. Sawyer's house. Mrs. Bryan led
witc discussion on Henry Georges
single tax theory.
When Mr.. Bryan went to congress,
his wife and family went with him.
They were strangers and went with
delight about the beautiful old city
that was as new to them as IL 10 had
been built the day before their dr.
rival.
The youthful joy in life that Mr..
and Mrs. Bryan possess is enviable
ard all whom they admit To their
friendship are stimulated to new
youthfulness by their enthusiasm.
The four years that they were in
Washington they spent in exploring,
in study. in expeditions to the en-
virons. they went to the theatre. they
heard the different preachers. Jewish,
Jesuit. Buddhist. Cul'ud. IL is doubt
full il they will ever enjoy Washing
ton so much again.

A Sketch of Mrs. Bryan.

InJuly 1896, wrote sketch Of Mrs.
Bryan. 1t is herewith reprinted, be-
cause of the interest which every one
feels in the wife Of a presidential
candidate:
Society in Washington, and for that
matter, all over the world is much
more interested in the presidents
wife than it is in the president him
self. Emerson says that life is only
little conversation, and say that
you cannot have conversation with
out society. unless one has cOnstitu-
ton like Macaulay's and it is not re-
ported that he talked to himself.
His idea Of a pleasant party was
where one voice and that one his,
talked all the time to many ears.
From gay Dolly Madison to the
gracious Mrs. Cleveland, the people
have intruded upon the privacy Of
the presidents family. The people
want to know how the presidents
wife looks, what she wears. how she
brings up her children and what they
say and do. By unremitting effort,
President and Mrs. Cleveland have
kept their children in complete Sc
clusion so far as the newspapers are
concerned. In consequence, gossip,
unable to understand such conduct,
says that the children must be wit

one hundred and forty-tvo of them and
they are woefully weakened by the in

and the existence Of quite fervid reiig-
ious feeling among the people. The
last report says that the young men
evince desire to leave. the island and
it's idyllic, but boresoIss do-nothingness.
The case Of the Pitcairn Islanders is a
presentation in little of the evil effects
OF community trying to live by itself
and do things without the aid or con-
sent OF other communities. The fate Of
the survivors OF the mutineers ia the
fate OF all communal experiments. Their
faculties have been numbed for want Of
use. The people have stagnated by
keeping to themselves. They deliberate
ly set themselves to the task OF refus-
ing expansion and keeping out Of touch
with the world OF modern civiliz ation.
And now they have become, in little
more than one hundred years, mental
and moral weaklings. Expansion is
growth, and those who reject it reject
progress. Conflict is developer Of
strength. and those who avoid it seek
degeneration. The life OF glad idlesse"
is delusion and snare, and the more
80 as the "ideIesse" ideal comes nearer a
realization. What applies to q commu-
nifty on little island will apply, on
larger scale. to great nation that re-
jects expansion and avoids conflict The
case OF the Pitcairn islanders is recon-
mended to the attention Of anti-expap-
sionists in the United States.-The

In response to an address OF well
come delivered at his home on the
10th instant, after his return from 10.
dianapolis, Mr.. Bryan said, among
other things: Il have felt that it was
a great deal cheaper for me to go and
see the people than to compel them
to come and see me-" The only con-
sideration which restraints him from
exercising imperial power, the pos
session of which is implied by this re-
mark. is pecuniary one. which he
stated in these words: 81 have felt
that it was great deal cheaper TOR
me to go and see the people" Mr..
Bryan presented to the Kansas City
convention his platforms; his COM
mand was, take it," and they took it..
Suppose that, instead Of announcing
his purpose to 90 and see the people,
he had summoned all his resolution,
issued his imperial edict, LET all the
people come and see me-" and enforce
it ds he unquestiOnably could, what
an example would have been presented
OF government with the consent Of
the governed. But he is going to see
the people and tell them Of the dan
gers which threaten from Imperialism
and absolute power in the hands Of
one man.

man who was passionately fond of
mathematics. He was good teacher
and inspired Mary Baird with a sense
Of the beauty and use OF numbers.
When the time came that she must
go away To school she and her father
Travelled over most Of the middle west
to find the best one. They inspected
many and finally decided upon Month
cello. Her first winter at this school
was interrupted by repeated illnesses
Of her mother. The next winter.
though she hated to leave this ex-
cellent school, she wanted to be near
er her M ther. SO she went to a girls
school in Jacksonville. Illinois.
1t was in this town that young
man by the name Of William Jen-
nings Bryan was attending college.
At the beginning Of the school year
the teachers and pupils Of the Fem.
Sem. held reception in the parlors
OF the school. On this occasion Mary
Baird was standing in one OF two
large rooms when a group Of young
men entered the other one. She look
ed up and noticed one OF them in par
ticular and asked who he was. The
friend said, ''Oh, that is young Bryan,
you ought to meet him." At the same
time he looked out into the parlor
and noticed young woman standing
in the centre Of group and he asked
who she was. And there you are.
BY spring they were engaged.
When they were graduated they were
the valedictorians in their respective
classes. The winter following gradu-
alton, that most trying and disap-
pointing period Of girls life Mary
Baird and her mother and father
went 20 Florida and travelled about
from st. Augustine and Jacksonville
t. Tallahassee. The next winter
Mary decided she must know how to
keep house and cook. So when they
got home she did the Homework.
Mr.. Bryan decided to build a house
and the betrothed spent many hours
discussing the plans. When the
workDen began on it Mr.. Bryan's
imagination had it finished and fur
nished many times before even door
was hung. He wrote to his sweet
heart one day that 1.-THE cellar was
dug and the back fence up and it
looked quite homelike." Like Tom
my Twaddles and his centre table, it
was the sign and symbol of house
keeping and family, and when he
looked into that cellar he and his
wife were liviCg in a house whose
walls were not yet reared. the furni-
ture was beginning to look worn and
the table was set for more than two.
Young Bryan made it rule in his
courtship never to give anything to
his lady that he had not purchased
with money II his own earning. The
first gift was a volume Of BryanJ's
poems. bought with the prize money
won at an oratorical contest. The en-
gagement ring was the guerdOn Of
another Grafton.
After they were married they de-
cided they wanted to study. They
were asked to join card clubs, but de-
clined because they had not time.
After Ruth was born, Mrs. Bryan
decided to study law, not because she
had the slightest idea OF practicing
it, but because she wanted to under
stand her husband when he talked
ABOUT his cases and also because, when
thev were married. they were To-

less. In point Of fact they are bright
and pretty, and Mrs. Cleveland be-
lieves that the idle tales about the
children will not hurt them as much
as publicity would.
The president is not sovereign.
but his wife occupies the only throne
in America. Mr.. Clevelands three
hundred pounds Of resentment at the
American people for taking so much
interest in his wife is SO much waste
choler. Mrs. Cleveland has a gra-
ciOus, womanly manner. a trick Of
remembering people and Of listening
to any one who is talking to her with
perfect attention and the manner Of
being especially delighted with him,
that suggests stories Of Recamier's
fascination. 1t is thOughtfulness for
Others that has made Mrs. Cleve-
lands administration SO successful.
She applies the golden rule in society
and in forgetting herself she will be
remembered longer than any one Of
her predecessors. II the Chicago con-
vent;On had been allowed to indOrse
Mrs. Cleveland it would have done it
by reclamation.
Mrs. Bryan's life has been one Of
study. Sne is an only child and her
mother was almost a life long invalid.
"She was such thin little girl" her
father said. 81 hated to punish her
when l thought l ought to-" The
doctor said she must be kept out of
doors. Luckily she did not Ike in
door life and all day long she tagged
her father, and her little dog Frisk
tagged her. They dug in the garden
and her father made funny rhymes
that she whispered herself to sleep on
at night. Long before she could read
she knew the names Of the bugs and
worms that her little hoe and his big
one turned up in the garden. The
man showed the little girl with what
exact perfection all the insects were
made, and how they chung TO the
earth. BY the time she was ready
for books she was kin to everything
books were full Of. She idealized the
earth and its generating and regener-
ating character She and her father
sat on the porch at night and he told
Greek and Morse stories of the stars.
He told her how far away they were
from them and frUm each other
though they looked so neighbOrly.
He told her what speck the world
would look if they could look at it
from Venus. Then he took her in
his arms and crOOned his own funny.
mans mOther-goOse. The idea of the
immensely OF the universe and the
relation of the world to the solar sys.
tenn seldom enters a child's mind
The world Is vastness, mystery, but
the dOOr-yard is a large part of it.
Over there behind the goose berry
bush is wild spot. and the orchard
beyond it is undiscovered still. The
sense of proportion and perspective
that Mary Baird acquired from her
father. has had great influence up
on her. Her father says she hever
told him a lie. Her words haze a
Quaker literalness and simplicity Of
long habit. Early star gazing or her
fathers influence trained her to think
Of things abstractly, markedly, with.
out the impediments Of custom and
fashion.
She was born in Perry. Illinois.
