saw the letters and facetiousIy re-
marked that he supposed they stood
for Uncle Sam" The joke was re-
told and retold until it became a COM
mon saying, and the general govern
ment has been so nick-named for
nearly a hundred years.

burg, telling of w. j. Bryan,s recent
visit there, that after a long lecture
he sat up with Col. James M. Guffey
until o'clock in the morning, despite
the fact that he had to catch an early
train. This is no new experience of Mr..
BRYAN. Indeed, it is rather charac-
terstic Of the man. Newspaper men
in Washington who travelled with the
Nebraskan in his campaigns recall his
habits then in respect to sleeping
which are said to have characterized
his whole public career. Apparently
he can sleep little or much without
producing noticeable effect upon his
physical vigor or intellectuaI alert
ness. While touring the country in
his campaigns for president he is
known to have gone for weeks at a
stretch with less than six hours sleep
day. On these trips he delivered
from a half dozen to thirty spcecnes
a day. between daylight and midnight
was usually the last occupant of his
ear in bed at night. and almost in
variably the first up in the morning,
looking as fresh and virie as though
he had slept all night without having
performed unusual labors the day be-
fore. Then, again, it is of record that
MIR Bryan once slept twenty three
hours wiothout break. This was
the day after the election of 1900. He
went 10 bed as soon as the returns
that night convinced him that he had
again been defeated by Mckinley, and
Mrs BRYAN s.lw To 1t that he was not
disturbed until the signs in his bed
room denoted that he was awake.

our fathers landed upon the Atlantic
seaboari down to this blessed hour.
Our fathers and mothers walked by
Christian faith. The Christian relig-
ion was the foundation of the home
which in the final analysis is the
strength and power of the republic.
Then Mr.. Fairbanks drew beautl-
full illustrations of this fact by refer
ring to the reliance that George
Washington, in the darkest hours of
our history, placed upon God, and
how he prayed for guidance at all
times. Then he told of how the
great Lincoln offered prayer after
prayer during the Civil conflict for
divine assistance. Then the name of
William Mckinley was called. and II
Everlasting Throne for guidance.
Magnificent tributes were paid to
these three great Americans. Mr..
Fairbanks said;

Hundreds Shook Hands.
At the conclusion of the address
hundreds of people pressed forward
to greet the vice president. The tall
Indiana statesman stood upon the
lower steps of the band stand and
began shaking hands. He used both
hands and as the people pushed by
him in a steady and seemingly new
erending stream he gave each and
every one hearty grip, smiling all
the time. 1t is estimated that he
shook hands with not less than one
thousand people as he stood on the
steps.
Mr.. Fairbanks was then taken for
an automobile ride through the val
ley by Mr.. James /. Hamilton. He
was perfectly delighted with what he
saw and spoke in the highest terms
of the city and valley.
