FLORIDA'S BOY SENATOR.
How w. J. 5ryan's EIoquence Helped
Him From Being Put Off a Train.

How w. J. Bryans Eloquence Helped
Him From Being Put Off Train.
United States Senator William James
1 Bryan of Jacksonville, Fla. who re-
Gently died at Washington. was STU
dent at Emory college, in Atlanta,
where he was graduated in 1896 along
with DR.. Troy Bivings and Ernest Hall
man of Atlanta.
While not in the same class, George
D. Lowe OF Atlanta. editor of the
Southern Trade Press. formed Il close
friendship with the boy senator at
Emory and has in the intervening
years watched his progress in the legal
and political world with a, great deal
of interest.
In speaking of the recent honor con
ferred upon Mr. Bryan. Mr.. Lowe said
that Bryan was the best balanced man
for his years that he ever knew, and
he was sure that be would make his
mark in the senate, for. although he
was young in years, he had an old head
on his body az 81 extraordinary
mind
'In addition to his great mind and
BALANCE he had a boGndless gift OF elo-
quende," said Mr. Lowe, when he
was at Emory he was the champion
de0ater and spoke on all special occa-
sions, delivering addresses that sal-
priscd alf heard him. Even rs Il
sophomore he was not sophomore and
was free from hcm1astic utterances.
Judge John w. Akin heard him speak
ut one time and remarked afterWard,
Bryan is the most finished speaker for
his years that | have ever heard and
the Judge, great orator himself, knew
one when he heard him.
Il shall never forget the ends to
which Bryan used his gift. and one Of
the most remarkable was that in pre-
venting himself from being put of
southern train by conductor. He was
at Emory then and wanted to 90 to hIS
home at kiSslmmee for the holidays
The Cotton States exposition was just
over in Atlanta. and he purchased
ScalperS ticket cheap ana got ABOARD
train. When the conductor came
around collecting tickets he told Bryan
that his wouldn't do and that he would
have to put him off the train.
"Whereupon. with tears in his eyes.
the young orator got up on his seat
and related in his eloquent manner to
the car full Of passengers his trials
and tribulations, how be did not have
any money and couldn't get any and
how badly he wanted to go home and
see the folks. and SO moved their hearts
with pity that they hustled the con-
ductor from the car and swOre that no
official. no matter Of how high rank,
could prevent Bryan from continuing
on his journey And he went home"

Peg the Envy of Chicken FancieTs
Throughout the Country.
"Orpington Peg" is the name of
prize hen which belongs to Ernest
Kellerstrass, a millionaire poultry
fancier of Kansas City. Peg is worth
$4,000. Her owner was offered that
enormous price a few weeks ago by
Nine. Paderrewski, wife of the Polish
pianist, who, by the way, is her
self a poultry fancier of no mean sue
cess. No fowl in the world has won
more prize ribbons or is more royalty
treated than Peg of the crystal white
plumage and bright eyes. The SER
vices of a valet and sometimes two
are given over exclusively to- her
care; she lives in big steam-heated
barn. and is given a bath every day.
She has her own private pen in which
to run and look for worms. Other
chickens are not permitted to asso-
ciate with her. She is fed ground
meat and ground toast especially
prepared. Her legs and feet are
manicured, her feathers brushed and
sprayed, her comb treated chemical
ly to redden its color, and her beak
kept highly polished and we'll round
ed. Peg has not a broken or miss
ing feather.

A RACE IMPROVING PLAN
MRS. WIELAND WILL ADOPT SIN
TY BABES YEARLY.
Infants Will Receive New Cogn0-
mems and Be Put to Work
Early at Rensselaer, Falls.

To improve the human race Mrs. F.
+, Wieland is planning to adopt sixty
children Il year for ten years. She,
with her husband, John C. WieIand of
Rensselaer, Falls, n. Y. and Benja-
min Franklin of New York city. has
incorporated the. Commonwealth under
the laws of the state of New York
Eight acres of land, house, a mill
and Va stream. with sufficient water
power to light town, are in the pos
session of the corporation at Rensse-
laer Falls. Here the adopted children
are to be trained to right mental,
physical and manual effort as a prac
teal demonstration of the laws Of vi
bration."
Mrs. Wieland gave an enthusiastic
exposition Of her theories, prospects
and hopes at the Sign of the Green
Teapot, in New York. the other after
noon. Names, numbers and colors are
fundamental principles in her plan
She wore a surplice of pale blue. be-
cause that Is her color. Some pam
phletS which she had printed had fail
ed in efficiency because they were vel
low and red, inharmonious colors for
her.
All the sixty children who are to be
adopted are TO have new names. Mrs
Wieland prefers to get possession OF
babies, the Younger the better With
her system. she said, it would be just
as easy to manage twelve as one

the laws Of vibration and mental sci
ence reduced work to the vanishing
point.
1t is proposed later to have mothers
as well as infants in the Common
wealth. so that they may be properly
instructed in the duties Of motherhood
Mrs. Wieland is her own nurse and
physician and files the birth certificates
herself. She displayed four certiti-
Gates to- prove her case. Her children
begin to work as soon as they can
walk, and that principle followed with
sixty babies would prove quite protita-

GLOW the Papers Stand.

Of late the Sanders newspapers
have been making the claim that he
has twice as many State papers sup
porting him Ms Wilkinson has. THIS
claim is untrue.
In October last the Shreveport
Times published one-sided list' IN
which it named 81 papers supporting
Wilkinson, and 80 papers support
ing Sanders. The Shreveport TIMES
did not include in its list the Times
Democrat, City Item. Morning World
Monroe News. Mansfield Enterprise,
DeSoto Progress, Red River Demo-
crat. jennings Times-Record, Don
jacksonville Democrat. Slaughter En-
terprise. Washington Leader, her
Vile Sentinel, and several other pa
pers that are now supporting Iheo-
dore S. Wilkinson for governor.
This leaves out several religious pa
pers that are all supporting Wilkin-
son for governor.
A correct listing of newspapers mt
this time will show 80 papers for VIII
kinson and about 60 for Sanders
And. i'm the matter of circulation
and influence, the papers supporting
! Wilkinson have by lar the greates'
weight. The claim of the Sanders
men To twice as many newspapers IA
| Wilkinson has is evidently as absurd
as it is untrue, and is in keeping Will
all of the extravagant claims the.
are making.
