Lightning Typewriter Artist.

In the earlier days Mr.. Bryan's
means were not sufficient To permit
the employment OF n secretary. Mrs.
Bryan served willingly and ably in
that capacity. Though there is now
Mt the Bryan home an official stenogra-
pher. Mrs. Bryan still is the real pri-
vate secretary OF the great commoner.
There are women, ii is limited, who
dictate TO their husbands. Mr.. Bryan

a World Traveller.

Like Mrs. Bryan. Mrs. Taft il her
husbands intellectual comrade When
ever Mr.. Taft takes up the study OF
some problem of statecraft, though il
may be as dry as dust. Mrs. Taft pro
cccbs 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 valu-
able information i'm every country Wis
tied.
The Taft love affair was not n col
lege romance. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Taft were born I'm Cincinnati. Their
families were neighbOrs and friends.
Mrs. Taft says she cannot remember
time when she did not know VIII.
The children OF the two families visit
ed back and forth frequently. Mrs.
Taft was Helen Heron, daughter OF
John w. Heron. who used TO he n
law partner OF rutherford Il. Hayes,
president Of the United States from
1877 TO 1881. 1t was while young Taft
was I'm Yale that the interesting under
standing between the young couple
came TO n point The Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette OF June 20, 1886, tells
OF n quiet home wedding Mt 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:
"Thc bride wore charming gown OF
white silk with embroidered tablier,
her veil caught up by sprays Of white
lilacs, and she carried n bouquet CT
sweet peas and lilies OF the valley"
There were no bridesmaids and no
best man. Only tho families Of the
lTide and groom and n few intimate
friends were present. Truly n demo
cratic wedding that. The Tafts sailed
for Europe on the City OF Berlin and
passed their honeymoon in England.

the first ladyship this year seem to
he 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. If 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 trottcrs for years
They have seen the world and the full
ness thereof. Moreover. both are
good old fashioned mothers ana home
bodies. and neither is new woman"
In the popular meaning.
Mrs. Bryan is a few years older than
Mrs. Taft, who until the accession of
Secretary Garfield was the youngest
woman I'm the circle of cabinet officers
wives. Perry, Ill, is the birthplace Of
Mrs. Bryan. Her father was John
Baird, who died in 1905 at tho 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
Il native daughter become the wife and
comrade of Il 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 i'm Perry until she
was ready for what the average girl
considers the finishing school. She
was sent to the celebrated old Nonu-
cello seminary Mt 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

A College Romance.

Miss Baird entered the Jacksonville
school as a junior. In the same town
and the same year William Jennings
Bryan was a junior at Illinois college.
It was college romance. There was
an intellectual affinity between them.
For two years they cultivated mutual
acquaintance. Three years after their
graduation there was quiet wedding
at Perry, the date being oct /. 1881.

Wreck on G. N.

An extra west-bound freight
train on the Great Northern was
wrecked last night at about IL
O'Clock, one mile east of Mcintosh.
The wreck was caused by the
spreading of the rails, several cars
leaving the track, which was torn
up for several hundred feet.
The west bound passenger train
last night was delayed a few hours
by the wreck. A special was run
from Crookston and the passengers
and baggage were transferred
around the wreck. The east bound
train had passed that point before
the derailment occurred.
The east bound passenger train
this noon was delayed one hour,
as it took about twelve hours to
clear away the wreckage.
