partial and ever ready and willing to
help any poor mortal entangled in the
meshes of mathematics The knowledge
of the work done for them. though IT
cannot be fully realized now. will be in

Oh, the ecstacy Of that moment!
We live long years for the emotions

M. LIE COLONEL BRYAN.
Remarkable Career Of the Nebraskan
as Related In France.

Remarkable Career Of the Nebraskan
as Related In France.
Not long ago there appeared In
paper published in the south of France
an amusing account Of the life and ex-
ploits of Colonel Bryan that no doubt
this gentleman fully enjoyed.
The story was written by the Paris
correspondent Of a country paper. 1t
is based, so the writer says, on infor-
nation he got from friends Of Mr..
Bryan who are prominent in Paris.
A western wag filled the Frenchman
with startling information, and how he
must have smiled when there appear
ed the following in cold print:
m. lie Colonel Bryan first came into
fame as one Of the strange, half-savage
band of cowboys who roamed over the
far west, fighting the Indians and wild
peasts. Initiating, perhaps, the custom
of the Indian chiefs, each OF the cow
boys bore a nickname based on some
of his exploits as a hunter and fighter.
Thus M. lie SOlOllcl Diyoh S~-~
among his rough but brave and sturdy
comrades was Silver Bill the Dead
Shot. After the treaty Of peace was
signed with the Indians at Chicago In
1896. Colonel Bryan went out OF the
cattle business and became one OF the
bonanza farmers Of the west. He can
now sit on his back stoop, as the rear
yeranda is called in America, and look
over his fields Of corn stretching fur
ther than the eye can reach IN every
direction. AS a result Of his early
training on the plains. where he spent
months at a time without an oppor-
tunity of talking to another human be-
ing, the former candidate for president
Is extremely taciturn, and can hardly
be persuaded to express his opinion on
the issues Of a campaign. He Is the
author of book Of adventure called
The First Battle in which some OF the
encounters with the Indians OF the
Tammany and other tribes are de-
scribed at length.

lie the strength of M. lie Colonel among
