A World Traveller.

Like Mrs. Bryan, Mrs. Taft Is her
husbands intellectual comrade. When
ever Mr.. Taft takes up the study of
some problem of statecraft, though it
may be as dry as dust, Mrs. Taft pro
ceeds to inform herself upon the same
topic. Thus she is enabled to keep
up" with her husband in all his inter-
ests. She has Travelled around the
world with him and has absorbed vall-
able information in every country Wis
tied.
The Taft love affair was not a COL
lege romance. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Taft We're born in Cincinnati. Their
families were neighbors and friends
Mrs. Taft says she cannot remember
time when she did not know Will
The children of the two families visit
ed back and forth frequently. Mrs.
Taft was Helen Heron, daughter Of
John w. enron, who used to be u
law partner Of Rutherford B. Hayes,
president of the United States from
1877 to 1881. 1t was while young Taft
was in Yale that the interesting UNDER
standing between the young couple
came to point The Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette of June 90, 1886, tells
Of quiet home wedding at the Her
ron domicile the evening Of the 10th
and gives this bit of description of the
! BRIDES costume. which should be read
with interest by the women of today:
'"The bride wore a charming gown Of
white silk with embroidered tablier,
her veil caught up by sprays of white
l1acs, ana she carried a bouquet IF
sweet peas and Lilies on the valley"
There We're no bridesmaids and no
best man. Only the families of the
bride and groom and few intimate
friends We're present. Truly demo-
cratic wedding that! The Tafts sailed
for Europe on the City Of Berlin and
passed their honeymoon In England.
Brilliant Musician.
After her college course Mrs. Taft
found that she had developed life
long passion for music. She contin-
ued to cultivate her musical abilities.
For seven years she was president of
the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra.
She believes that the government
should do something toward the en-
couragement of music and the other
aesthetic arts. In all the busy years
of her husbands official career, with

sic" so to speak. She plays brilliant.
~ and sings well.
| If Mrs. Bryan has any spec ial study
it is German. She has been a diligent
student of the German tongue ana is
quite proficient in the language. Mrs
Taft also has linguistic tastes. While
residing in the Philippines for foul
| years she studied Spanish until she
could talk almost like native-not ex
actly like native, but better, for she

prince himself would ruin his own
chances and throw the crown away. 1t
Is not easy always to be sure of con-
scious insincerity.
Yet the devils advocate would have
had small difficulty in placing fresh
face on her prayers. in exhibiting what
lay below the words. in suggesting
how 1t was that she came forth from
her secret devotions not happy and
tranquilized. but with weary eyes and
her narrow lips close set In stern self
control. Her praye. that she might dc
nothing wrong was prayer that the
prince might do nothing right. II that
prayer were granted sin on her part
would become superfuous. She prayed
not to be led into temptation-that
sounded quite orthodox. Was she to
presume to suggest to Heaven the
means by which temptation should be
avoided?
Stenovics skillfully humored this
thade of hypocrisy. When he spoke to
ler there Were In his mouth no such
words as plans or schemes or hopes or
ambitions-no, nor claims nor rights
1t was always ''the possibilities we are
compelled to contemplate" 1.-THE steps
we may be forced into taking" "the
necessities Of mere self Defense" 1.-THE
interests of the kingdom" 1.-THE su-
preme evil OF civil strife" which last
most respectable phrase meant that it
was much better to jockey the prince
out of his throne than TO fight him for
it. Colonel Stafnitz bit his lip and
gnawed his mustache during these in
terviews. The countess saw-and hated
him. She turned back to Stenovics'
churchgoing phrases and impassive
face. Throughout the whole affair the
general probably never once mentioned
to her in plain language the one and
only object of all their hopes and eff.
forts. In the result business took rath-
er longer to transact. the churchgoing
phrases ran to may syiiables. but con-
cessions must be made to piety. Nor
was the countess SO singular. We
should often forego what we like best
II we were obliged to define it accurate
ly and aloud.
After one Of these conferences the
countess always prayed. 1t may be
presumed that she prayed against the
misfortune of cast iron Technology.
Probably she also urged her views. for
prayer is in many books and mouths
more of an argument than petition,
that all marriages were on one and the.
same footing and that Heaven knew
naught of particular variety named
in some countries morganatic. OF the
keeping of contracts made contrary to
the presumed views of Heaven we are
all aware that churches. and sometimes
states. too. are apt to know or count
| nothing.
Such were the woman and her mind.
Some pity may go out to her. In the
end. behind all her prayers and inspir-
ing them. nay, driving her to her knees
in fear. was the conviction that she
risked her soul. When she felt that,
she pleaded that 1t was for her sons
sake. Yet there lay years between her
son and mans estate The power was
for some one during those years.
"If l had the countess views and
temperament l should grow potatoes
and If possible grow them worse than
my neighbors," said Colonel Stafnitz.
III lived duly should ut least die
in peace!'
The king held a very confidential con
| ference. 1t was to sign his will. The

AS with another king. nothing in life
became him like the leaving OF It
There was little more work to do. He
had but to wait, with courage and with

He signed the document and babe the

silence they obeyed him, meaning to

turned suddenly to Stenovics.

Nature has provided the stomach with
certain natural fluids known as the d.
gestive juices. and it ID through these
juices that the food we eat Is acted
upon in such way as to produce the
rich, red blood that flows through the
veins of our body and thereby makes
us strong, healthy and robust, and it is
the weakening Of these digestive juices
that destroys health. 1t is our own
fault 1t we destroy our own health, and
it is so easy for anyone to put the
stomach out of order. When you need
to take something take it promptly,
but take something you know is reii-
able some thing like Kodol For Dys-
pepsia and Indigestion. Kodol is pleas

anteed to give relief. It is sold BY E.

A College Romance.

Miss Baird entered the Jacksonville
school as Junior. In the same town
and the same year William Jennings
Bryan was a junior at Illinois college.
II was college romance. There was
an Intellectual affinity between them.
For two years they cultivated mutual
acquaintance. Three years after their
graduation there was q quiet wedding
at Perry. the date being Oct. /, 1884.
Mr.. Bryan had completed his law
course and was beginning the practice
Of his profession In Jacksonville. Like
the average young lawyer, he was poor,
but be was intensely ambitious. Mrs.
Bryan shared his ambitions and deter
mined to be true helpmeet. To that
eud she began the study Of law.
Three years later the organs removed
to Lincoln, Neb., and In 1888 Mrs. Bry-
an was admitted to practice in all the
courts of the state
+ But she never practiced law. There
was a baby in the household. Ruth,
now Mrs. Leavltt. with two little ones
of her own. Mrs. Bryan believed that
the place of Wife and mother was in
the home. Her knowledge of law en-
abled her to assist her husband in his
practice without neglecting household
duties.

the first ladyship this year seem to
be by personal attributes and general
experience more admirably adapted to
the duties Of the unofficial Office than
were any pair Of their predecessors in
the race. il education makes for avail
ability and travel makes for culture,
then both Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Bryan
are Of the highest availability and cul-
ture. Both are college graduates, and
both have been globe trotters for years.
They have seen the world and the full
ness thereof. Moreover, both are
good old fashioned mothers and home
bodies, and neither is new woman"
in the popular meaning.
Mrs. Bryan Is few years older than
Mrs. Taft, who until the accession Of
Secretary Garfield was the youngest
woman in the circle Of cabinet officers
wives Perry, Ill, Is the birthplace Of
Mrs. Bryan. Her father was John
Baird. who died in 1905 at the age Of
eighty-two. Mary Elizabeth Baird
grew up in the wholesome atmosphere
OF prairie town home in the middle
west There are hundreds Of towns
very much like Perry, but no other one
that has won the distinction of having
a native daughter become the wife and
comrade Of a man thrice nominated for
the presidency Of the United States.
On her mothers side Mrs. Bryan is of
English descent Her father was
Scotch-Irish. Mary Elizabeth attended
the public schools in Perry until she
was ready for what the average girl
considers the finishing school. She
was sent to the celebrated old Month
Gallo seminary at Godfrey, ILL.,, for one
year and then to the Presbyterian
academy at Jacksonville Here she
passed two years, being graduated with
the class of 1881.
