Thayer and Bryan.

lk~$ c. 81
When William Jennings Bryan first
went to Nebraska. he was hired to take
the stump against Thayer. who was
running for governor. and said some
hard things against the candidate
'sThayer was elected,"-Bryan is quoted
as saying in the Chicago Times-Her
aid. after he took the governors
chair he was called to be POSTMASTER
at a banquet at which l was set down
for q speech. l did not care to go to
that banquet. did not wish to meet
the governor. I remembered all that !
had said of him, and l felt cheap. But
went and sat there through the early
proceedings quite uncomfortable.
"Finally it came time for the govern.
or to call upon me. He rose from his
seat, with programme before him. and
slowly said, Mr.. Bryan-Bryan.' Then
he slowly turned his eyes upon me and
addressed me, DO you speak or singy
''That is all l ever heard from Gov
ernor Thayer as to what he thought OF
my campaign speeches against him."

What He PRAYED For,

A story is told of two worthy New
England deacons. between whom a
bitter feud had long existed concerning
some contested point. Neither would
give in, and the matter threatened to
be handed down to the next genera
ton, when one day Deacon Smith ap'
peared before his enemy and solemnly
said:
Brother Jones. 1t is a shame that
this quarrel of our should bring scan
dal upon the church. | have prayed
earnestly for guidance in the matter
and have come to the conclusion that
you must give in. for | cannot!"

The Wretched Newspaper Man.
In every city of the land the news.
paper. man is an outcast. He knows
more people to be a stranger to than
my other being in the world. He has
no holidays. His Christmas is the rec
ord Of other mems joys. His Thanks
giving is q restaurant. Even the Fourth
OF July and Sunday, servants of the
commonest man, refuse him their
cheer. The. Fourth of July is the day
he must be in every place at once, be-
cause everything is happening, and
Sunday Is the day he must make things
up, because nothing is happening.
His labors are our pleasures. He
gets his vacation by doing another
mans work and earns his living by
watching other people live. The very
days and the nights turn their natural
backs upon him. The lamp is his sun
by night, and the curtain is his night
by day, and he eats his supper in the
morning. His business is the refec.
ton Of life. He is the spirit behino
the mirror. What is left to us is right
to him, and right is left. Sometimes
right side up is upside down.
The world is all awry to the newspa-
per man. It whirls across the hours
In columns, now in one edition and
now in another, but it heeds him never
In return. He Is a spectator. The
show passes before his face-a shut
OFT, unsharing face. He lives as the
years go on, a notebook under the
stars, and when the notebook is scrib-
bled out he dies.-Gerald Stanley Lee
