6RYAN'S HABITS.
Kansas City Journal)

! thanSas Clty Journal.) l When w. J. Bryan was in Kansas
 recently Paola reporter decided to
 get a human interest story out of
 him. Here is what the reporter
 learned:
 Mir. Bryan is 5l years old and
 weighs 230 pounds; he drinks one cup of coffee a day and takes tea
 once a day and sometimes oftener, if
 he is working hard, that is, speaking much.
 T never tasted beer in my life" said MT. Bryan, and whisky only three or four times. when given by a physician" What do you eat?' the reporter inquired. Everything that anybody else eats, except that I deny myself sweetmeats. I drink a great deal of water"
 "Of what you have written or said which, in your judgment, will endure the longest?" "The Prince of Peace" promptly answered Mir Bryan. T gave more thought to that than any thing else l ever composed 1 thought t out and had 1t complete in my mem Ory many years before I reduced it to writing. One day on the train, sev- eral years ago. friend asked me for copy of it and I said that thus far l had not made copy. The request reminded me that possibly I might be killed, so I called a stenographer and dictated it in the car.''
 Doubtless you have changed ;t con- siderably since the first rought draft?"
 No. sir; it is printed practically word for word as I dictated 1t that day"

SPORT" AS A GERMAN WORD.
tNew York Tribune.)

Sport has become German word" says a Dresden letter. We borrowed it from our English speak ing friends when We began to follow their example in regard to the various healthful pastimes which come under that name. As we advanced the word became so well known that it ceased to be foreign and finally it crept-no. it golfed, cycled. tennised. footballed and baseballed-into our vocabulary. We still lack the spirit which goes with it in America. Last summer we saw in New York a great thorough fare made impossible by a throng of thousands of men and boys. We thought We had come to the edge of q riotous demonstration. But the multi tude had assembled only to hear, or see by show cards. the result of a game of baseball. Similar crowds. we heard. were assembled at the same time in other parts of the city, and at the scene of the contest over 30O0O
