BRYAN,S HOME WELL NAMED

There was c fine, big porch at the southwest corner of the house when tt was built, eight years ago. A couple of years back, Mfr. and Mira. Bryan de- cided that 1t would be an improvement to inclose the porch with windows That was done and the result was conmodious sun room.
 It was furnished with comfortable wicker chairs and rugs and brighten ed with flowers. of which fresh sup ply Is brought in from the garden every morning. The rule is for visi- tors to enter this roofd without knock ing. 1t is open to all. If the room is unoccupied the thing to do is to press the button of the electric bell al the door of the house proper. Tn these days visitors rarely arrive without finding Bryan in the sun room There's a stream of pilgrims to the shrine every day. from breakfast time to dark. fact due largely to the hold- ing of the national convention at Den- yer. This is on almost the direct route of travel from the East and South tc Denver, and so convention visitors find that they can go to Fairview without inconvenience.
 There will, of course. be a swarm of them after the convention. And il promises to be sad year for the Bry- an alfalfa. The walk from the road to the house borders an unfenced al- faifa field. Many of the visitors never beheld the Hant before and it looms up fine for souvenir purposes. The pluck ing is already under way. and the chances are that the entire crop will be harvested before it is ripe
 Bryan's health is good. bis spirits are high, and the cordial reception he gives visitors sends them away with broad smiles of pleasure. He has changed little since his last campaign.
 There are 1s0 acres in the Bryan farm, worth about s250 an acre. It is planted in alfalfa. timothy. oats and corn, and there Is pasturage for the twenty head of stock. mostly Jerseys There are no steers in this herd to take the place of the $500 heifer that
 figured so brilliantly in the last cam paign.
 The barn contains eight horses. Twenty Poland China hogs roam over an alfalfa field contentedly. as though they cared not jot or little about the exciting times that are ahead for the baId-headed man over at the house. Little do they reck that the souvenir hunters may get them before the next snow.

BY. JACOB wAIDEcK.

Lincoln. Neh, Half an hour by j trolley takes the pilgrim over the Sour-nsfis route te the Bryan farm. broad. clean, paved streets. heavily shaded with elm trees. It Is just about nn ideal American residence district: one not to be excelied in any city of Iincoin's class. The population is about 5o.0o0.
 There are no mansions in the dis frzcf. but stately succession of fine homes, neatly painted with weii-kept lawns and plenty of shade trees At the outskirts the pavement gives way to 6 dirt road. Soon the Bryan home comes into view, two miles across the valley. With it's bricks of brilliant red. riaring white trimmings and soft slate roof. it is the most striking ob- 3ect in the landscape.
 Fairview is the name Bryan has bestowed upon the rural retreat The house. handsome three-story struc- ture. is at the summit of rising ground surrounded by thrifty shade trees. all of which Bryan planted, and commands . view for miles. The lawn is like a carpet. The home site was a corn field when he made the first purchase oi five acres fifteen years ago.
 Back of the house is a lofty wind min. and q little beyond. the brick carriage barn. Therein are to be found three unpretentious light car riages and two buggies. A hundred yards further to the rear are two frame barns for the stock.
 A mammoth white shell. brought from the Philippines. rests under the fraes and is filled with water for the birds. A quaint Japanses stone lam tern. that looks from distance like an old-fashioned sun dial. stands at a corner of the lawn. A tent. set up back of the house, affords a cool and airy retreat. Beside it Is Mrs. Bryan's bower garden.
 The board fence that surrounds 1t is completely overgrown with honey suckle. The flowers are of the good old fashioned varieties and have brought visions of home to every pill grim who has ever lived in the coun- try.
 There is everything about the house that could be 1onged for by citizen and d presidential candidate except a porch. Bryan win have to worry along without that picturesque feature of campaign.

Ant. sAlns 4. weather ProaAst..


 Chicago Tribune.
 Ants as weather prophets afford new testimony to the cleverness of thefe small animals. When you go out onla spring morning and find the ants busily engaged in clearing out their nests, and dragging the sand and bits of earth to the surface, you may he sure that, no matter how cloudy 1t i& there will be no rain that day. and thf probabilities are for several days ci good weather. If, however, you see the ants about the middle of a spring or summer afternoon hurrying back to the nest, and a sentinel trotttng out in every direction, looking up straGglere and urging them to go homo as soon as they can get there, you may figure on rain that afternoon or night. when the last of the wanderers is found the picket hurries in. and the nest is securely sealed from tho in- side, to keep out the water. It is sell dom that ants are taken by surpirse by the approach of shower.

governor, told the democratic state
committee yesterday afternoon that he
would decline during the campaign to
address Sunday schools, church con-
ferences, Y. M. G. AS, secret orders and
other organizations of the kind He
said that running for governor was a
political proposition, not a religious,
fraternal or social matter. and that he
preferred to keep the political lines
closely drawn.
He explained to the committeeman
that he could not apear before nom
political bodies without appearing to
seek political aid, and that he did not
wish to use the church or the lodges
in furthering his political ambitions.
It was a delicacy. he said. that he
hoped the state committee would ap-
preciate and respect.
