i'm the outdoor air that would make her
strong and well. Her education was
begun in the public schools. Then she
attended Monticello seminary and the
Presbyterian academy at Godfrey, H.,
graduating from the latter school in
1881 with first bonors. She returned
for a postgraduate course and while
there met Mr.. Bryan. whom she mar
ried In 1884. The organs made their
home in Jacksonville, H., until they
removed to Nebraska in 1883. In order
that she might help her husband with
his practice Mrs. Bryan read law under
his direction and in 1888 was admitted
to practice in the supreme court of
Nebraska. She has three children

inspiration. lending them a helping

studies and squirting them on to re-

couraged She has an accurate knowI-
edge of the classics and German. To
widen her acquaintance with English

one year in Illinois and devoted a year
to research in German literature.
Not only has Mrs. Bryan been a
model wife and mother. hut her devo-

/ was in Lincoln, Neb., but a few years
ago they were enabled to buy a large
piece of ground in the suburbs, where
they can enjoy the privacy of country
life which is dear to them. They have
built one of the handsomest and most
l convenient houses in the state. which
they call Fairview because it stands
on a knoll that commands a view of
mile after mile of the most beautiful

the wisdom to keep altogether out of
sight and permits her husband to take
the helm. She is his trusted comrade
and adviser. Locked in her little
brown head are probably more weighty
condolences and political secrets than
, any other feminine head in America
has been intrusted with. They are
, perfectly safe, for she has a gift that
is rare among women. She knows

FARMERS ARE HELD
RESPONSIBLE FOR TAX
IMPORTANT OPINION is GIVEN BY
ASSISTANT ATTORNEY
GENERAL.

OLYMPIA. April 23-The farmer,
not the buyer, should be held for per-
sonal property tax on hay or grain
which IS under contract to be sold and
upon which partial payment has been
made and the balance upon delivery,
provided the hay or grain is in first
class condition. Such is the opinion
given Prosecuting Attorney {. r. How
ey by Assistant Attorney General
Knickerhocker. The opinion was
based on the customary form of con-
tract given by buyers, which recite the
partial payment and the promise to
paw the balance on delivery aboard the
cars in merchantable condition. sub
ject to inspection.
The point has given assessors no lit
tie trouble in eastern Washington.
Suppose, for instance" sums up the
opinion. that after this memorandum
OF sale Wa signed tina, this particular
hay should become water soaked or for
any other reason be damaged to such
an extent that it could not be delivered

stance, that before delivery of the hay
f. O. b. cars at Thorp, that the hay
should be destroyed by fire. Certainly
in those cases the purchaser would not
be required to pay the balance of the
purchase price and the loss would fall
on the vendor.
