It wa* only a fear momenta before a friendly bout had been framed up over William J. Bryan's proapecta for an other prealdentlal nomination, and the U uatlocation therefir by hla paat record lefore the American people. In the group were two ardent advo- catea of the Nebraakan, one equally ardent opponent—not of the man, but of hla convictions—and two neutrala. Soon, and naturally enough, the talk turned upon the two greatest grma In Mr. Brysn'a oratorical crown—hla speeches at Chicago In 1898 and at Bt. I.milH In 1*04—and of the famous pe riod In each of these—the "crown of thorns r rnd cross of gold” climax at Chicago and the thrilling prelude of defense In his great speech at Bt. I.oula. The "crown of thorns and cross of gold" period was familiar enough to all present, but an attempt to quote the one which added new laurel* to the Nebraskan’s fame at Bt. Louis pro voked a question as tr the accuracy the rendering.

The distance along the line of the proposed Panama-Amerlcen railway Is 10,400 miles.
