of those who followed the business.
On one occasion he undertook to sell
to the citizens of the Salem neighbor-

brother had been peddllng unsuccess-
fully for several weeks.
"All you want me to do, as / under
stand 1t, Is to sell these maps" said
Bryan.
"Yes. that's ALL" agreed the brother
That night William returned home
with the announcement:
81 have sold them all"
This astonlshed the brother, who In
sisted that the ten maps could not
have been disposed of within so short
a time.
"Oh, 1t was easy enough" said the
future presidential candidate. II did
not bother about the money. One
map | sold to the barber, who will
keep me shaved for weeks. Another
1 turned over to a groceryman, and 1
used the remainder to pay some little
bills l owed around town"
But where do get OFF, asked the
brother. How do l get my percent
