WHEN BRYAN WAS
 LAW CLERK AT E
The Probable Candidate for President Was Not Thought to Be Man of Ability Clever Washing
 ton Stories.

Washington, June l4.-The capital of the nation has been in the throes of June weddings for the last few weeks and among the nuptials none were more eagerly watched than those of Joe Letter, of Chicago and of wheat pit fame, and Miss Juliette Williams of Washington. MT. Letter is man of 39 years of age and his bride is 20, and in couse- quence his recollections go back before his bride came into the world. Among the stories which Mir. Letter related when he was In Washington before the we'd ding were number of reminis- ences of William Jennings Bryan, the probable Democratic nominee in the coming presidential race.
 MT. Letter said that he remem- bered very well the days when Bryan was law clerk iu Chicago. In those days he was not con. sidered man of ability, in fact he was somewhat of a butt. Mir. Bryan was 25 years old at the time. MT. Letter said that when he heard that the Democratic nominee it '96 might be man named Bryan he had no idea it was the same law clerk who had worked in Chicago law office.

 A good story on the wife of an army officer of high rank has recently leaked out. It appears that the officer, who is a general and friend of the President and and his wife, were dining at the home of member of the cabinet. The President was present aud the wife of the army office sat next him. During the course Of conversation the talk turned to Cuba, where the general and his wife had been during the winter for brief visit. Suddenly the lady in question turned to Presi- dent Roosevelt and said:
 ''Cuba is such a delightful place. Were you ever there Mir. President?"
 For d moment the guests who sat within hearing distance of the remarks were spell bound, but when the humor of the situation proved two much for them and shout of laughter went up in which the President himself joined. What the general said to his wife when they reached home after the dinner is not matter of record, but 1t is under stood not to have been compli- meutarv.

Mildred Brewster Returned to Asylum
Mildred Brewster, the woman who was
released from the state hospital for the
insane ut Waterburysa few months ago,
was taken back last week Wednesday to
the asylum, from which she probably
never win be released again.
Miss Brewster was taken to Montpelier
Sept. % from Hardwick, where she had
been since her departure from the asylum,
the sheriff receiving an order for her re-
commitment from Judge w. H. Taylor
Of the superior court. Miss Brewsfer's
case was referred to Judge Taylor by
Judge Alfred Hail, who released the
woman from the asylum after q hearing
ct the March term OF Washington county
court. He made an Investigation and
issued the order mentioned.
The release OF Miss Brewster was made
largely on the plea Of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
Z. Ross Of Hardwick, who promised to
care for and give her good home. Il is
understood that they found the task far
from pleasant. Miss Brewster becoming
very stubborn. unmanageable and shew-
ing again the amorous proclivities which
led to the shooting several years ago in
Montpelier. Mr.. Ross wrote to Judge
Hall that be and his wife did not care to
be responsible Tor Miss Brewster any
longer and be left the matter to Judge
Taylor, who ordered her return to the
asylum.
The return Of Miss Brewster to the
asylum confirms the judgment OF snps.
/ ID. d. Grout Of the asylum, who testified
at the hearing before Judge Hall that
Miss Brewster was not at person to be
given her liberty.
