WHY is MR.. BRYAN.

In the current number of Pearson
Magazine James Creelman attempts Il
explain why it is that Mr. Bryan re
mains 50 persistently and so promi
nently before the people, and Mr.
Creelman succeeds In giving a vers
plausible explanation, in part as fol
lows:
In very real but entirely proper
sense, 1t may be said, in explanation OF
Mr.. Bryan's extraordinary hold upon
the party which he has twice led to de
feat, that he has reduced politics to an
honest trade.
To the extent he is perhaps the
most original aud successful politician
that America has produced, and 1t ar,
cues much for Mr.. Bryan's native
ability that he has succeeded In es
tablishing himself in a very profitable
business while maintaining his position
as political idealist. 1t is as If
Peter the Hermit had become a rich
man while preaching the Crusade to
Europe
In the beginning of his national
career, Mr.. Bryan seemed to be con
trolled largely by his Presbyterian doc
trine of REORGANIZATION. He was in that
sense fatalist. He impressed those
about him with his firm belief that
God interposed His power directly in
the affairs of men"
Whatever may be said of him. Mr..
Bryan is without perfidy or double
dealing. He is a man of sincere con.
victions aud STRAIGHTFORWARD methods.
He may sometimes confound stately
and resoumding fiuency of speech with
constructive craftsmanship; he MAJ
mistake the art of epigrammatization
for the science Of government. and fall
to distinguish the difference between
an honest emotion and sound prin
ciple but he has never been a liar
or traitor; his word is pure gold
and he fights In the open"
Mr. Bryan is open and honest abouf
49, SuNttoo. Ilt IhdhtS no
secret of his profits. There was NJ
other ccurse open to him If he was toll
continue his fight for the people ac-
cording to his convictions. with the 4
rich men of his party bitterly opposed
to him. He had no favored corpora
tions to supply him with funds. He ha
no millionaire admirers to pay railway
fares or take care of the cost of meet
ings. He had to make his continuous
crusade more than self-supportfng to
put his political work on the footing
of trade, or abandon the party or
ganization to the so-called conserva-
tives.
In this way Mr.. Bryan has made
himself Independent OF Wall street
Democrats. He has even made it pro
fitable from material standpoint to
denounce and avoid them. SO that
even the dullest radical can see that
there is good money in the service of
the people as well as in the service of
their enemies"

CAUSE AND CURE
OF NEURALGIA
A Discovery of Statistical Facts That
Led TO New Treatment.
NERVE PAIN MEANS
NERVE STARVATION
How Modern Methods Succeed In
Disposing of the Cause OF the Dis
ease Instead of Treating the symp-
toms.

Neuralgia means simply nerve
pain" so there may be great varia-
ton In the character and intensity of
the pain and any nerve in the body
may be affected.
There are a number of causes of
neuralgia but the most common Is a
general rundown condition of the
physical system. The discovery of
this fact from reliable statistics led
to the new treatment for neuralgia
which consists in building up tho
general health by the tonic treat
ment and so disposing of the cause
of the trouble.
Persons reduced by acute sickness.
or by severe mental or physical
strain or by loss of sleep are fire.

to perform this duty satisfactorily
when II Is weak and impure. Build
up the blood then, and the neural
gic pains will disappear as the nerves
become better nourished. The tonic
treatment with Or. Williams Pink
Pills, blood-making tonic, meets
this condition most admirably as the
cure OF Mrs. Mary Burrows, OF No.
