Mr.. Bryan Never Smokes Nor
Does He Drink or Chew.

1t is interesting to note how
much Of an insight one can get
into a persons real character
through the unconscious testi-
mony of his associates. And with
no one is this more clearly illus.
trated than with William Jen.
nings Bryan, who has been nom
mated for the third time by the
Democratic party for President
OF the United States. at the Ma.
tiOnal Convention held in Denver,
Colorado. the past week. Both
he and Mrs. Bryan belong to what
they call the Farmers Club"
in which the social life in Normal
centers. says a writer in the July
Detinedtor. Through the winter
they hold monthly meetings at
the homes of the members. They
come in the morning some fifty
strong and stay until dark. Each
family brings great basket and
there is then spread the finest
dinner that you ever ate; chick
ems roasted and broiled and fri
caseed, pies-mince and custard
and pumpkin, and all of the
cakes that the diligent house
wives can find in the cook book.
The women folks, when they are
dohe In the kitchen gather around
the parlor stove with their sew
ing. Mrs. Bryan brings perhaps
the night shirts, she is making
for her husband, perhaps the
stockings from the family darn
ing basket. The men get out to
the barn and smoke and talk of
the value of alfalfa and the de-
struction of gOphers. Only there
Is one among them who does not
require that soothing mental
stimulus. "Uncls Jake" Wolfe,
says in proud commendation of
the leading light of the commun-
ity, "W. j. IS that much better'n
than the rest of us that he never
smokes nor chews." Incidentally.
it is also true that he never takes
a drink, every political banquet
finding his glass turned down.
