fEN WILLIAM J. BRYAN WORE A BEARD
the Two Times Candidate for President Did Not
Look “the Noble Roman’ Until He Shaved. A
Description of the Nebraskan in Younger Days.
4] pever See the ‘noble Roman’
likeness of William J. Bryan in the
sewspapers that I don’t think of the
grst two times [ ever saw him,’”’ said
o ex-Nebraskan the other day in
New York. ‘‘When Bryan arrived in
lincoln in the fall of 1887 to go into
parlnership with A. R. Talbot, then
1o attorney for the Missouri Pacific
wilroad, he wore a heavy black
bard. [t was the thickest, glossiest
black beard 1 ever saw on a man.
Bryan wore it I presume, to make
him look older than he was, and t,ofi
give an air of substance t 0 a young‘
i still in his twenties. I was in the

fays and | had some business with‘

wme property, but I failed to do it.!

lors [ was very much struck by the ap
parance of a smooth-shaven young
mab, with a fine nose, a still finer
mouth, in spite of it size, and a very
strong chin, I made several inquiries
sbout him, bu% no one seemed to
inow who he was. Finally I made
e inquiry of a number of ladies,
smong whom was Mrs. Bryan. :
“Who is that magnificent looking
joung chap with the face of a Roman
snator 7’ I asked.
“Good! Good" cried Mrs. Bryan,
tlapping her hands. ‘‘That is my
husband. He has just shaved oft his
beard. He did it without my knowl
¢dge and came here and surprised me
0 [ hardly knew him myself. I know
fe will be pleased when he hears what
you said."’ ;
“She called him over and toid him
tight before the whole group and Mr.

boy.
“There was one trait thatimpressed
dfreat many about Bryan when he

tell me that Mr. Bryan’s daily lunch
consisted of cheese and crackers. I
don’t suppose he was any more fond
of that diet than the rest of us, but he
was sturdy enough to refuse to go into
debt. Bryan is a comparatively
wealthy man today. He is not par
simonious. He is generous toward
his friends, but he still has rigid ideas

’ IMMIGRATION.
Foreign Settlers and Laber Can Be
-Secured, Says Sargent.
W ARM SPRINGS, GA., June 11--Some
very notable speeches were made here
last week on the subject of immigra
tion. The meeting was attended by
manufacturers, farmers and railroad
‘men, all of whom want to get more la
bor in the State. Thousands of farm
ers say they cannot get enough help
to malke their crops. Iverywhere the
factories complan that thev are short
The railroads say that labor is very
scarce with them. When a contractor
gets a good force some other contrac
tor sends an agent around and he
lures oft all he can get.
Frank P. Sargent, commissioner
general of immigration, came down
from Washington and made an ad
dress. He said that Georgia can get
immigrants if she will go at it in
earnest.
Less than 2,500 immigrants have
come to Georgia in the last ten years
while more than a million came to the
United States last year. He advocat
ed a state bureau saying that
Georgia ought to publish in foreign,
something about resources and oppor
tunities and send this matter abroad.
He also favored direct steamship line
between Savannah and some Kuro
pean port.
The only effort being made to bring
settlers and labor to Georgia is the
work done by an association of a
few railroads. Col. Sam C. Dunlap,
favored Mr. Sargent’s ideas about a
state bureau and he suggested that
the work could be carried on by the
commissioner of agriculture without
creating a new officer,
President F. B. Gordon of the Geor
gia Industral Association, estimated
that the idle looms in the state due to
labor shortage is equal to twelve
large mills shut down all the time.

Ira W. Kelley, of Mansfield, Pa.,
writes: “‘I was in poor health for
two vears, suffering from kidney and
bladder trouble, and spent consider

without obtaining any marked bene
fit, but was cured by Foley’s Kidney
Cure, and“l desire to add my testi

“RICHES WITHOUT TOIL.”
A Cornell Professor's Advice to the
Graduating Class.
In the course of his commencement
address to the graduating class of Cor
nell University the other day, Presi
dent Jacob Gould Schurman paid es
pecial attention to what he considers
“the vice of the age,”” which he de
seribed as the desire of men to accum
ulate wealth without having to undergo
that toil by which alone wealth is cre
ated. It may be broadly claimed that
this desire—to get something for noth
-Ing, to get rich quickly—is as old as
the human race. It is responsible for
the speculative and gambling spirits
that have manifested themselves‘
through the ages. There was gambling
at the foot of the cross for the gar-l
ments of the crucified Jesus and those
who cast lots on that occasion were
animated by that same desire for gain
without toil which moves people of the
present to take chances and do’ dis
honest acts for quick gains.
It is President Schurman’s opinion,
however, that the get-rich-quickly idea
is higher and more pernicious de
velopment now than ever before.
Says he: ‘‘Among the rich and well
to-do business and professional classes 5
‘grafting, has been so common that
the very idea of commercialism has
become a by-word and a reproach.
Financiers, capitalists, corporations
may be the most conspicious sinners:
but equally guilty is the merchant whol
cheats his customers, or the lawyer
who shows his client how to circum-l
vent the laws, or the scholar who glori
fies his patron’s success in business.ir-l
respective of the methods by which
that success was achieved, or tbel
preacher who transfigures the ruthless
oppressor and robber of six days into
the exemplary Christian of t.he|
seventh.’’
ADAM NOT FIRST MAN. |
Pastor Startles Orthodox Hearers by
Citing Prehistoric Facts.
Rev. Andrew McLeod, Congrega
tional pastor at Central Valley,
Conn., startled his hearers last week
by stating that Adam was not the
first man, that the earth was very old
when Adam came upon it and was in
habited by a pre-Adamic race.
In Egypt and China, as well as in
Mexico and Old America, have been
found writings and skeletons of mam
malia that point to a race long exist
ing before Adam’s time. The sermon
created much discussion with his or
thodox hearers. In a former sermon
he took the liberty to dispute the in-|
spiration of the Old Testament in its
entirety.
Only 82 Years Old. %
“I am only 82 years old and don’t

to feel that way as long as I can get;

Brunson, of Dublin, Ga. Surely
there’s nothing else keeps the old as

" Executor of His Own Will
A rich Indiana farmer of the name
of Deffenbaugh has designated him
self in his will as the executor of his
estate. Asked why he had made so
unusual a provision he said that he
expected his spirit to return to earth
after his death and take charge of his
property. Here, then, is a fine op
portunity for some person of the
Dowie type to come forward ard
claim the estate on the ground that he
is a reincarnation of the deceased
| Deffenbaugh.
“The blood is the life.”” Science
has never gone beyond that simple
statement of scripture. But it has il
luminated that statement and given it
a meaning ever broadening with the
increasing breadth of knowledge.
When the blood is ‘‘bad’’ or impure it
is not alone the body which suffers
through disease. The brain is also.
clouded, the mind and judgment are
effected, and many an evil deed or im
pure thought may be directly traced
to the impurity of the blood. No one
¢an be well balanced in mind and body
whose blood is impure. No one can
have a wholesome and pure life unless
the blood is pure. Foul blood can be
made pure by the use of Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery. When
the blood is pure body and brain are
alike healthy and life becomes a daily
happiness. : :
Sranding out in bold relief, all alone
and a conspicious example of open,
frank and honest dealing with the sick
and affiicted, Dr. Pierce prints on the
bottle wrapper in plain English a full
list of the ingredients. Therefore not
a ‘‘patent medicine,’” but a medicine
of known composition.
TALEOF $400,000 NECKLAGE
CONTAINS 60. ORIENTAL PEARLS
i AVERAGING 30 GRAINS.
l'l‘he Treasury Department Is Suing
l Wealthy Man for $120,000
as Custom Duty,
[ If the United States treasury de
partment wins a case which is in prep
aration a certain little silk string,
!just about fourteen inches long, will
| cost Wm. B. Leeds, a wealthly rail-j
road man of New York and Chicago,
$120,000 in customs duty.
This is no ordinary string. Until
a few weeks ago, the government will
‘assert, it held together what jewelers
say was the most magnificent neck
lace of pearls that has been in the
market for many years. The pearls
arrived a week ago, on the Touraine,
of the French line. The necklace con
tains sixty Orientdl pearls ranging in
size from 21 to 40 grains, the average
being 32 grains. All are perfect Whit.el
spheres, exactly graduated, and there- [
fore, perfectly matched.
It is said that the price of the neck
lace at a famous Paris jeweler's was
$400,000.
Mrs. Leeds admired them greatly on
a recent visit to France, and 1t is saidl
that Mr. Leeds planned fo surprise
his wife when they arrived 1n Newl
York by presenting to 'her the won
derful necklace. A bargain was made,
and to a member of the firm which
had owned the necklace was intrusted
the task of personally bringing the
gems to New York. The member |
claimed the pearls were unassorted, l
that is to say, gems brought in unset, !
or unmatched, on{which the United ]
States government levies a duty of
only 10 per cent. of the value.
In some mysterious way the cus
toms officials had learned all about
the sale of the necklace to Mr. Leeds
and levied duty on the gems at 60 per
cent. The French dealer protested
and an appeal was made to Secretary
Shaw, who has sustained his subordi
nates. Under the law, however, the
French merchant was entitled to take
gems out of the government’s custody
by the payment of 10 per cent. duty,
which he asserted was the just one,
and now the government must sue in
the federal courts to recover the other
$lOO,OOO. i
