Bryan's wonderful Record.
[From Louisville Times. |

in history as the American who has
! traversed more territory, seen more
places, faced more OF his fellow-mortals
and talked more words than any other
living man.
His travelling record is phenomenal.
In two months last year he covered 1e,
600 miles. This is equal to nine trips
across the ocean. Ii Is nearly three
| fourths of the distance around the
world. Time was not so very long ago,
when two years were deemed necessary
! for a round-the- world trip.
IN MANY sMAsH-UPs.
Mr. Bryan has been in smash-ups al d
has come out of them right side up with
care. He has taken a leaders part in
resGuing the injured and cutting out the
dead, and has gone on his way, his
nerves undisturDed, ready to speak with
his accustomed fervor at the next place
on his schedule.
He has met with all conceivable incl
dents, delays, mix-ups, failures TO con.
meet; has been storm-bound OF land
slide bound or wreckage- has
suffered from thirst and hunger and
cold and heat ard all the ills that travel
ing flesh is heir to, and has come through
them all with health unimpaired, with
voice in good order. with an ever-ready
fund of anecdote and repartee and al
ways ready to get up and talk for silver
or to send sound money and the admin
istratiCn to the lowest depths of condem-
nation at a moments notice.
NOBODY CAN KEEP THE PACE.
He has worn out politicians who tried
10 keep the pace set by him. He has
killed of correspondents. The asylums
of the land are filed With poor wrecks
Of humanity whose managing editors
told them to 81 go with Bryan" He has
won the undying admiration of the
ebony brethren who preside over the
fortunes of parlor and sleeping cars,
and who admit that, though travellers
though they be, 1.-THE Kunnelr ~ can tirs
them Uut.
And be has preached the funeral SER
mons over the:cOfins of many Pullman
conductors who have died trying to see
him through.
And the secret of it all? Temperance
in all things but travel and sleep. Eight
hours Of sleep in the twenty our, no
matter what happens. Tha he must
have. That he will have. And as
sleeper Col. Bryan Is an eminent sue
c ess.
NEVER DRINKS ALCHoHOL.
No matter how weary and worn be
may be, no matter how cold the car or
how hot, no matter whether he be well
fed or i'll, no matter whether he be feel
ing under the weather, Bryan will not
touch alcoholic drinks. He even es-
ehews heLon-alchoholic stimulants, but
drinks eOpiously of good, clear, honest
water.
His appetite is good his digestion per-
feet. He likes an abundant but whole
some bill OF fare, and he does Justice to
it. His teeth are fns and play their
part to perfection. he never rushes
meal in the headlong and headstrong
American fashion, but cheWs slowly and !
swallows with deliberation. All these
things help, be believes.
They support his natural good health
and strong constitution. But sleep is
he greatest Of all his tonics. 1t is the
Orce which enables him to live the phe-
lOmenally active life he leads.
He is the great peregrinator. In 1897,
5000 miles; in 1898, 1900; in 1899,
5000 miles. Total, 90, 100 miles, more
han three times around the world.
PAYS HIS OWN WAY.
And be pays his own exp nses. The
honey for these he gets from paid lee
1res and for articles contributed 70
ne newspapers. Col. BRYAN has de-
led over his own signature that he
sceives money from the silver-mipe
wners, and his word is not to be doubt
d. r
One month at home was all that be
OF last year. He enjoys his wife's So {
