Lincoln, Neb., March 19.-William
Jennings Bryans 4Sth birthday was
celebrated today by the democrats
of Lincoln and throughout Nebraska.
Hundreds of congratulatory mes
sages from foreign countries were
delivered today at the Bryan home
near Lincoln, where the famous
commoner finds relaxation in agri-
cultural pursuits in the occasional
periods of rest between political
campaigns and lecture engagements.
Mr.. Bryan is today in Chicago.
Although Lincoln is largely repub-
lican lin its political tendencies, the
people of the city are immensely
proud OF their famous citizen and
republicans as we'll as democrats
Joined in the days fluctuations.
The Bryan home is about four
miles from the heart of Lincoln. 1t
is named Fairview, and it is we'll
named. The view on every side is
fair and far. 1t is a circling stretch
of undulating prairie, thick-dotted
with buildings, large and small, and
livened on the west by the smoking
chimneys of the city and the dome
of the state house. And the winds
never rest at Fairview, which is a
purely modern house of Clipped red
brick, looking as if it had been in
tended for city street and had got
to it's present place by mistake.
In the front yard of the great
commoner's 153-acre farm stands a
tall stone lantern, which was given
him in Japan, during his recent trip
around the world. Thanking the
broad stone steps leading to the
front porch are two bronze beasts,
also from Japan. The beast on the
left is Conservatism-its mouth is
shut tight. The one on the right Is
and its teeth show even more than
Teddy's when he smiles and says
'dee-lighted.
Twelve years ago, when he had
saved up little money from his law
practice, Bryan bought the first five
acres of his farm. To put it in his
way, each acre cost him 500 for
scenery, 500 for climate and $50
for soil.
The farm is well stocked with
pllze cattle, sleek hor e5 and fat
swine, and tie Nebraskan finds one
of his greatest pie res in these
animals. The no, Sc itself is hand
somely, but simply furnished, with
the library as its most distinctive
feature
