ton of his personality. They. list
ened as men Listen who have con-
fidence in their speaker, in his
sincerity and in his knowledge and
in his truthfulness."
Sometimes the things for which
we dig are to be found upon the
surface. When the Pittsburg
man said that his neighbors listen
ed to Mr.. Bryan as men listen
who have confidence in their speak
er, in his sincerity and in his
knowledge and in his truthful
ness" he may have given answer
to his own question.
If, however, the Pittsburg writ
err yet finds it difficult to under
stand what is the explanation of
Bryan" he might approach the
solution of the problem with high-
err hopes for results if he freed
himself from some Of the newspa-
per-made misconceptions concern
ing Mr.. Bryan's career. 1t is
hardly fair to say that when Mr..
Bryan was nominated for the
presidency in 1895, he was AN
obscure lawyer and writer" Six
years before his nomination for
the presidency he had been nomi-
mated by the democrats as a candi-
date for congress in what seemed
to be a hopelessly republican dis
trict. In 1888 the republican can
didate had carried that district by
a large plurality. In 1890 Mr..
Bryan carried that district by
6, 100 plurality, although he had a
populist opponent who received
1906, votes. [ think it is admit
ted in Nebraska that this result
was largely due to the fact that
Mr.. Bryan and his opponent en-
gagged in a joint debate. While
the republican candidate was an
able and r%esourceful lawyer and
had committed himself to some of
the reforms then growing in popu-
favor, Mr.. Bryan plainly won
the honors in q debate noted alike
for its vigor and humor.
In 1892 Mr.. Bryan was re-elect-
ed, although his congressional dis
trict had been rearranged leaving
it composed largely of republican
counties.
During his first term-on March
Is, 1S92-Mr. Bryan made his
great tariff speech in the House of

and explain this man Bryan-the
Phoenix who arises from the ashes
of defeat stronger, better loved
than ever?" This question was
asked by a P%ittsburg, Pa, man in
a letter printed in the Christian
Union Herald. This man had seen
Ito use his own language) "a won
derful thing come to pass" He
had seen William j. Bryan "fout-
ed by US fasteners as a wild-eyed
disturber of the peace" entering
Pittsburg, "a city which gave the
biggest comparative majority
against him of all cities in the ma
ton and greeted by an enormous
crowd with an attention and en-
thusiasm that passeth description,
holding them under spell of his
marvellous eloquence for more than
two long mortal hours and sending
them away cheering-and think
ing"
"AlI this, mark you," said the
Pittsburg man, in the city of
Pittsburg-intensely republican,
conservative tarif-loving Pitts
barg!-the stronghold and center
alike of his democratic and repub-
lican enemies. If this can occur
in Pittsburg, what must be his
hold upon the people in communi-
ties where the what-is-is-right doc
trine is not revered as herer'
From these scenes the Pittsburg
turned and in utter perplexity
asked, what is the explanation
Of Br.yan?"
what is the explanation of
Bryan?" asked the Pittsburg man
and then added: "A magazine
writer attempted recently to ex-
plain him, but when the article
was finished all he had proved was
that Bryan had made a few honest
dollars out of his political career,
though the writer did not sufficient
ly emphasize the phenomenon that
a political career has at last result
ed in an honest if comparatively
small fortune. Bigger fortunes
than Bryan's have been made
through political careers before
now, but we are never tempted to
describe them as honest"
What is the explanation of
Bryant" asked the Pittsburg man.
rs it honesty? There are many
honest men in the nation who have

hearts of the people. Is it his in
His is not the most pow
erful intellect in the nation,

rs it his eloquence. We are
still under the spell of his incom-
parable voice, cutting wit and
forceful sentences, but we know
that his eloquence does not ex-

career that began when the editor,

convention which nominated his
opponent, Selling the dramatic.

hundred men into nominating an

highest Office in the land? Hardly"
Nor in the opinion ofsthis Pitts
burger is the explanation to be
in the combination of all
four of the suggested explanations

Man is as Old
AS His Stomach
This Persian Epigram is the Real
Guaae of Mans Life.

The Perisans were a very sagacious
people, noted among other things, for
their deep thinking on life and the
things which make up life. Z
The above epigrams shows the wis
dom of their thought.
When a mans stomach is able to
furnish new material to the system
as fast or faster than the natural de-
cay of man requires, then such a man
lives his fullest and his best.
When through wrong living or dis
ease a mans stomach begins to tax
the other organs and takes from the
blood strength which it cannot give
back in nourishment taken from food,
then begins the death of man and he
decays fast. The stomach is strong,
splendidly strong, and can stand an
untold amount of abuse and neglect
but when it dies, man dies.
The stomach gives tons upon tons
of good rich blood every year to the
system and draws only $50 lbs. of
nourishment for it's own use. If, how
ever, the food which it receives can
not be turned into blood which is cap
able of use by the body, then the
stomach receives no help from the
other organs.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the most perfect digestive qualities
known to science and at the same
time the most powerful. They will
mix with the poisonous juices of a
sick stomach and digest food in spite
of this handicap.
They will stop gas making and bad
breath: They tone up the nerves OF
the whole digestive canal, including
those of the stomach.
A single ingredient contains
strength enough to digest 5000 times
it's weight in mixed food,
They have stood the test of time and
today are more sought after than al
their imitators combined.
