tasted with him and several newspaper
men. An incident on the journey to
Smvrna was the meeting of Mr.. Bryan
dent Mckinley. Mr.. Mckinley was
iourneying to Old Point Comfort with
his family. Learning that Mr.. Bryan
WIS in the car he came back to grasp his
hand and chat. The Nebraskan rose to

hearty handshake. The two gentlemen

"I beg You TO remain seated, Mr..
Bryan" said Mr.. Mckinley, "you are
working hard and | ann not"
"Qh, no! | only have two speeches
lto'make today" was Mr. Bryan's reply,
| lie evidently recalled the barl-st9rming
days:of-l"96.

try .lthe East), Mr.. BRYAN to'd Mr..

ia company with such good Democrats
as Governor Tunnel.
81 do not complain OF the quality OF
the Democrats. it's the comparative
quaint ty," continued the Nebraskan Col
onel
"Well," reioined Mr.. Mckinley, "you
want to organize some Sunday schools.
Before the laughter, which followed
Mr. McKinley's remark, had subsided,
Colonel Bryan Willingly replied: II am
glad you recognize that all we need is
little schooling and that we are right in
the premises"
The conversation between the two
gentlemen brought out the fact that
while travelling with his family three
years aeo Mr.. Bryan met Abner McKin-
