RRYAN N RoLE or LAWYER


William Jennings Bryan, former
secretary Of state, arrived in Wash
ington June / to associate himself
with the legal firm Of Douglas,
0'Bear & Douglas, and specialize in
international law Already his name
appears on the letterheads of the firm
as William Jennings Bryan, asso-
ciate council in international mat
ters."
For the present Mr. Bryan win
divide his time between Washington
and Miami, Fla, where he has his
home, but he will spend the next
winter in Washington.
1t was learned that he will give
practically all of his time to matters
arising in connection with countries
on this hemisphere, such as Mexico,
Nicaragua, Colombia and the South
American republics.
Mr.. Bryan, N his new capacity
an exert on international law,
will undoubtedly come much into con-
with the state department. where
he once presided and with the machin-
Try of when he is well acquainted.
1t was said that he would also APP
pear before tribunals of any char
ter at nome or abroad in inter-
national controversies which affect
American citizens" such, for, example,
as the proposed mixed claims COM
mission between this country and
Mexico, which has been much dis
cussed, but which has not yet ma
terialized. The establishment Of such
claims commission has been urged
as necessary to pass on claims Of
american citizens growing out of
NE revolutions through which Mexico
aas been passing.
The strong impression was gained
that much Of Mr.. Bryan's business
For the present would be connected
With Americans claims in Mexico.
The firm with which he has allied
himself has had extensive connect
ions in that country. AT one time
rles Al. Douglas, head Of the
sirm, acted as legal adviser Of the
Carranza government in Washington.

THREE DAYS GRACE

Maggie's sweetheart, a proverb-
tally tight-fisted Scot, had taken her
out for the afternoon, and that was
about all. They rode some distance
on the trolly, turned around and rode
home again. Never was mention
made of food or entertainment.
Back within her own gateway,
Maggie, who had keenly felt the neg
lect, sarcastically proffered Sunday
dime.
"For the carfare you spent on me"
she said, meaningly.
"Hoots, toots, woman" returned
Sandy, pocketing the coin. "There
was nae hurry. Saturday would
haze been time enough"
