Fear is contagious, and so is courage, and both are inspired far more easily by example and by appeals to sympathy and to the was to faith rather than to reason. When Bismarck, in the times of the Franco- Prussian war, thundered out, “Germany fears nothing but God,” his appeal was to faith rather than to reason. Hours of argument would not have so fired the German heart. And when Garibaldi addresseq his soldiers, “Fol low me and you shall have hunger, and sickness, and rags, and death,” their enthusiasm knew no bounds., The appeal was to the unseen—to what is beyond reason. And so Christ’s appeal when He sgaid, “You shall be hated, and hunted, and killed, but not a hair of your head shall perish; in your hearts possess ye your patience,” and tens of thousands went down gladly to death. The mightiest of all human impulses lie far beyvond the pjane of the syllogism. If we would lead men upward it is surely well for us to know that reason is not the most potent faculty, nor has it the cleares eve. Mar velous as is logic, should we succeed in reducing the whole of man to that level it is quite likely that we shall find that we have gone far toward unchaining the tiger, 2aa L : ¢! G a i b . - - Writing as a Business. Z A . T 5 LT D I BSO AT By E. 5. Martin. Ry Ne e Y e = ] HY does any one take to writing as a calling? There are | reasons enough, It is one way to get an honest living, and l w a man may lawfuily choose it, and may live by it, better or i | worse, and he happy in the practice of it. Writing is both j=————====—==| a profeseion and an art. On its money-getting side it seems | ' ’ to me not a particularly good profession, A successful law yer or a successful doctor commonly earns more money than a successful writer, and there are vastly more lawyers d and doctors who succeed in a measure worth talking about than writers. But a man seldom takes to the profession of writing with mon ey-making as his primary object, any more than he takes to the ministry or to teaching for that purpdse. He takes to writing because he likes it and has a turn for it, or because he cannot wait to fit himself for some other profession, or is debarred for some reason from other professions, or hecause opportun ity offers. Once he commences writing and undertakes to live by his work, he will probably want to get out of it all the money he can without sacrifice of things that are worth more to him than mere money. Mere money, for ex ample, will not tempt a wise man, let alone a good one, to take service with a newspaper which he does not approve, nor to write trash, which, being capable of better things, he knows to be trash, because the market for trash happens to be better than the market for literature. There is no great harm in writing trash, sobeit it is not vicious, if a man can do no better. But for a man of real talent and literary power to turn away from art, and the truth that art ust express, to trash and drivel is prostitution. It is a writer's duty to write o est, and he cannot turn his back on that duty for long without paying g nalty in reputation and in power.—Harper's Magazine, L ‘ L ] 2 e joi i ey i : i ;a 8 a C ildr ost of Children SR SsS ST By Wm. G. Lightbourn. é MM{-Q-I»&-I'I ET us recognize frankly that children cost money. Besides TRt food, clothing and doctors’ bills, they require room. A large family often means bitter poverty, indecent erowd ing and a constant struggle with debt. It means that the . boys and girls must be taken early from school and sent into stores and factories or into the streets to sell papers. e It means lack of education, lack of opportunity to develop ER DR strong bodies by healthful play, and perhaps the subjec. tion of tender children to vicious surroundings. The conscientious working-class parent, wishing to give his children a fair start in life and looking forward to such consequences, refuses to sacri fice the interests of his first two or three children by adding to his family burdens he cannot carry.. He sees too that, meagre as his income is to-day, it would be much lower were it not for the protection of his union. Now, the strength of the union lies in its willingness to fight (strike) whenever and wherever its interests are threatened. A strike is a contest of endurance, and in such a contest the man with a large family is terribly handicapped. But strong as are these motives for limiting the size of a family, they are as nothing to one other—the general uncertainty and insecurity of life under present-day conditions. One such period of hard times as we are going through this winter does more toward teaching self-restraint and caution to working-class parents than all the preachers in Christendom can undo in a generation.

To be great is easy for the man who succeeds. But here is the man who failed, and has grown great and more great. Only a ruler or a general has received more public attentionthan he. Princes and potentates have entertained him. Yet he is only an American private citizen, Willlam Jennings Bryan is a na tive of Illinois, having been born in that State on March 19, 1860. He received his early education in the public schools and Whipple Academy. Was graduated in 1881 at the Illinois College, Jacksonville, and was the valedictorian of his class; received the degree of A, M. from the same in " T - g : BT R RSO IT S g TACr « ) ", ” % Y 3>’ e P " ,;f»‘.. g 5 ',.:(:‘,. yae ~) 3 55 N : B NI iSTT Sb e 4 R BT TR S A AR e R ZRVEL 3 e o .

In October, 1884, Mr. Bryan was. married to Miss Mary E. Baird, ;v? Perry, 111. He practiced law at Jack sonville, 111, from 1883 to 1887, since which time he has practiced his pro fession at Lincoln, Neb., where he has made his home. S He was a memberot Congress !igfii, the Lincoln (Neb.) district from 1881 to 1895. In 1893 Mr. Bryan received the Democratic vote for the United States Senatorship,.and in. 1894 hej was nominated in the Nebraska State Democratic Convention for U, 8. Sen ator, but was defeated by the Hon. John M. Thurston. whacs During 1894 to 1896 Mr. Bryan was editor of the Omaha World-ler ald, In 1896 he was a delegate to the National Democratic Convention at Chicago; he wrote the “silver plank” in the platform, and after making a notable and stirrlnfi speech he was nominated for the Presidency. Dur ing the campaign he traveled over 18,000 miles, and made speeches at almost every stopping place: he re ceived 176 electoral votes against 271 for the late William McKinley. In 1897-8 he lectured on bimetal fsm, and in May, 1898, he raised and organized the Third Regiment Ne braska Volunteers, infantry, for ser vice in the Spanish-American War, and became colonel of the regiment. In 1900 he was again nominated for President on the Democratic tick et, and 4lso received the endorsement of the Populist and Silver Republi can conventions. Mr. Bryan made another active canvass, but was again defeated, this time receiving in the electoral college 155 votes as against 293 for Mr, McKinley. Scon after his last Presidential de feat Mr. Bryan established The Com moner, a weekly political journal, in which he has kept the public posted as to his views on political subjects, From this journal, lectures and books, “The First Battle,” and “Un der Other Flags,” and from his nu merous special articles written for other magazines and newspapers, Mr. Bryan has amassed a comfortable competency, j Within the past two years Mr. Bryan has made a tour of the world, IR - Ry eer— Gt T R S SRR 5 BA i A i vl By ] $ W SHSMN 1 S P SRR A § P et R =S T e \ S R ..

The Lord Chancellor of England praised him before the Inter-parliamentary Conference; that distinguished assemblage cheered his gpeech and adopted his international ‘peace resolution. . Mr. Bryan lives in a substantial red-brick house four miles out of Lin coln, at a little settlement called Nor mal. The trolley will take you there, tall sunflowers brushing the car win dow as it passes through. In the Jittle country church just at the edge of his own cornfield, he worships on Sunday. Sometimes he preaches there. His wife and daughter teach in the Sunday-school. It {5 a Meth odist church. but it is nearer than the Presbyterian church where he and Mrs. Bryan hold thelr membership. She was brought up a Methodist any- Bow, and when they moved to Nor mal she said, “Will, I've gone to your church ever since we were married. Now let's go to mine.” So later the children, Grace and William, joined there. William J. Jjr., is eighteen years old, and a freshman in Nebras ka State University.

So it can be figured that Mr. Bryan is comfortably well-to-do. Those that have less might call him a rich man. What he has, he has made from his lectures and his books and from The Com moner, published in a plain country newspaper office in Lincoln. Before the Bryans had as much as they have now, they lived in a little frame house on a muddy street in Lincoln, on his country lawyer’s in come of SIBOO a year. You just nat urally speak of them as “the Bryans,” for through all of the man's career, the woman has kept step at his side. “We always do everything together, my wife and I,” he says with a pride that has never waned. Long ago, Just after their marriage, she studied law and was admitted to the bar. She did it not to practice law, but to be able “to help Will.” She has read her way through all the political economy that he teaches. There is neither pomp nor cere monial at Fairview.

Each member of the household orders ap propriate dishes demanded by the morning appetite. Guests do the same. Mr. Bryan seldom takes a walk around the estate before breakfast. 'A cold bath is indulged in as soon as 'he rises. Then he hastily prepares his toilet and descends to the base ment dining room for a hearty break fast of eggs, usually scrambled, beef steak or broiled chicken, hot corn cakes and milk fresh from his own dairy. After this he plunges into the work of the day. He receives his mail by rural free delivery. He goes over the first batch before Mrs. Bryan has put her household affairs in shape to join him in his workroom. Then he begins dictating to her. Mr. Bryan is a rapid talker, but his wife, al though knowing none of the estab lished stenographic systems, is able to kesp pace with his dictation. She uses a method of abbreviations of her own contrivance. He also dictates to her most of his editorials for The Commoner. Mrs. Bryan understands the political situation in detail almost as well as her husband. For years she has been traveling with him, meeting the men who confer with him and taking part in the discussions. She now has a most capable private secretary and handles a heéavier cor respondence than Mr. Bryan. She re ceives herself a great many letters and all get answers. She also an swers a great many letters of her husband’s. He%ndicates the answers and she dictates the replies. His editorials in The Commoner and much of his other literary work is dictated to her, and she writes on the typewriter instead of taking notes. She is a capable and experienced writer, and those who are familiar with this class of work can under stand the advantage of having an amanuensis who is always ready with a word, a phrase or an idea. In this respect the two are in perfect sympa :&y and -togatther perform an incred ble ameunt of work. ut apparent fatigue. They ifitergte?'fgg this with attention to visitors and other mat ters. : Two interesting personages of the Bryan household are the grandchil dren, Ruth and Bryan Leavitt, aged four and three. They are the chil dren of Homer and Ruth Bryan Leavitt. Mr. Bryan has no office in the shop in Lincoln where The Commoner is published, but occasionally he drops in to see how the paper is getting along. This is a typical country news paper office. It smells of benzine and printer’s ink. Old piles of exchanges are in the corner, and the man who gets a chair with a whole bottom in it is fortunate. Cartoons and prints ~decorate the walls, and scraps of re print are pasted here and there. The flies feed on the flour paste and the inkwells clog up with ants. The smoking pipes of the printers are clder than the town and stronger than the uplift movement in the office of a reform magazine, It is interesting to rote that this is the headquarters of the whole Bryan movement. There are no smart head clerks and liveried mes senger boys. It is said that The Commoner pays its editor about S2OO a month and others “‘get a good living.” It is a fairly prosperous property, but no strain is made to pile up big profits. That is immediately plain to any experienced newspaper man who watches the way of doing things. Mr. Bryan is apparently content to have it disseminate his doctrines, to pay its own way and support its workers, land glve fa'r retm';u-"" P o .———'—-—‘-p_‘m » i .\‘ a oS ,: : ,:\\\\ :‘:.

For Needlewomen, There is the nicest little affair which will be invaluable to the nee dlewoman who is fond of embroider ing dainty designs upon lingerie and house linen—it is the new stiletto which is made with a gauge, so that the size of the eyelet may be regu lated. One of the greatest difficulties found in eyelet work (which in itselr is txe simplest kind to embroider) ig the art of making the eyelets of uni form size. This little instrument ob viates the difficulty and will be grate fully received by the enthusiastic needlewoman. Eyelet work is as popular as ever, but this season it is found in new combinations. We see it associating with outline stitch, solid embroidery and soutache braiding. Wherever it appears it adds daintiness to the work.—New Haven Register. Curtains. . Among the novelties in house fur nishings this season are the printed linens designed for summer curtains, which are in many apartments effec tively used, and take the place of lace or net hangings. Among the desir able designs are the mission curtains. These have a rough finish and the hems are on the outside. Printed and plain linen, madras and the light weight grass color cloth are also used, and come in desirable color ings and artistic patterns. For bed rooms and sltting rooms there are the new printed linens, which have cream colored backgrounds, with large, bright floral designs, in rose, tulip, lily and other patterns. For living room and dining rooms suitable de signs are also to ha had.—New Haven Register, : : Care of Blankets. Many good housewives do not care to risk the laundering of their fine woolen blankets to their servants, and a word might help at this season from a good housewife, who always takes thistask upon herseif. - — She first shaves a half bar of yel low soap and pours this into a pint of boiling water; she stirs this until it becomes like a thick jelly and pours it into three buckets of lukewarm water. Into this she puts the blan kets and washes thoroughly. She does not rub soap on the blankets. She puts them through a wringer and in another tub of clear, lukewarm water; then keeps on rinsing in clear water until every particle of soap is removed and hangs on line in hot sun, taking care to hang them per fectly straight. She leaves them in the sun for several hours until per fectly dry; then puts them out next day if necessary.—New York Times.
