Probably the most Important lesson we learn In trouting is to keep out of sight We cannot cast a fly without motion, and even a shadow will alarm a trout. We soon learn how important it is to have the sun shining in our faces and not comfortably warming our backs. If obliged to fish in sight of the trout a good background is a help. Keep the rod low down with the side or underhand cast. With the rays of the sun striking the water obliquely at certain hours In the morning and afternoon we can, if facing it. stand within easy casting distance of a school of trout and present our flies without alarming them. The fish may be lying In shallow water, but we cannot see them nor can they see us. Under other conditions or with the sun in our rear they would take fright before we arrived within range.

BRYAN'S LIFE HAS ' BEEN NOTABLE ONE

He Arose From a Farmer Lad To His Present High Position. TWICE A CANDIDATE. NAMED BY PRESIDENT DEMOCRATS FOR BUT HIS IDEAS ON BIG SUBJECTS WERE NOT ACCEPTABLE TO THE PEOPLE. Lincoln, Neb., July 10. Few men out of office have been so constantly in the public eye for a stretch of years aa the nominee of the Denver cvonvention. Mr. Bryan was born in Salem, Marion county, Illinois, on March 19, 18iO, He vas educated in the public schools and Whipple Academy, Illinois College, graduated him in 1881, he being the valedictorian of his class, receiving the degree of A. M., from that institution in 1SS4, as well as from the Union College cf Law at Chicago the year previous. Mr. Bryan started life as a poor boy, and while in the public school he worked on a farm. All through life he has been a hard working and conscientious man. During his law studies he was connected with the office of Senator Lyman Trumbell, and on completing his studies returned to Jacksonville to practise. Hero his struggles have been likened with those of Lincoln's under the some conditions in the same state. At first his practice did not amount to much. Much of his time was given to speech making in the country districts. It was in 1SS7 that Mr. Bryan decided to go west. He arrived at Lincoln, Neb., in October of that year, and became a member of the lav firm of Talbot & Bryan. He had known Talbot in Illinois, and it was he who had induced him to go to Nebraska. Bryan at once attracted attention as an orator, but for a long time his fame did not extend be;rond the district. In 1889, J. Sterling Morton, the democratic nominee for congress, afterward President Cleveland's secretary of Agriculture, asked him to take the stump for him. Morton was defeated in the political revolution of that year and O'Conncll, the republican, elected by more than 3,(MX) majority. But the defect of Morton caused the birth of Bryr,n as a political power. He had interested the people in himself by his oratory and the politicians were forced to take him up. He made a fight for the democratic nomination tho next year and captured it. That was the year of the republican slump. The district repudiated O'Connell and the McKinley tariff, and gave Bryan its old-time democratic plurality of 7,KX. In 18J; he was indorsed by the democratic state convention as the party's choice for Unfted States senator, but the next legislature was republican, and John M. Thurston won the coveted seat. Bryan's Career. Bryan entered congress at 30 years of age, but was assigned to a place on the important -ways and means committee and took an active part in legislation, both in the committee room and on the flcor. His reputation for eloquence grew until he became spokesman of a considerable following. In 1802 he was re-elected to his seat in the National House, although his district voted strongly for the opposing candidates on both the state -and national tickets. After retirement from congress he became political editor of the Omaha World-Herald, and in this capacity attended the Republican Convention at St. Louis in 1896. Here he discovered that the old parties were making new adjustments and breaking away from the precepts of their former platforms. From leading republicans he procured admissions which he understood to foreshadow the rise of the "money question and the fading of the tariff issue. His reports were the earliest publication of a trend of affairs later developments fully verified. In anticipation of a similar move ment in his own party, and opposing the innovation. W. J. Bryan went to the Chicago convention prepared for the event. In the debate on the resolutions committee's report he got the floor after the issue, had been clearly outlined and in a fervent appeal that will long be remembered both for its strength and eloquence, and for its farreaching consequence, not only turned the tide for a radical platform, but raised himself to such prominence by his efforts that on the following day he was nominated to lead the fight for the principles he so warmly espoused. Into that campaign he entered with zest and energy unprecedented. He fought hard and valiantly, with wellremembered results. Bryan went as a delegate to the National democratic convention in Chicago, in 1S96, where his notable speech on the "Cross of Gold and Crown of Thorns" carried the conven tion off its feet and he was nominated for the presidency. It was a stirring campaign. The candidate traveled more than 18,000 miles, making speeches at every stopping place. The vote in the electorial college was 176 for Bryan and 271 for McKinley. Mr. Bryan then lectured on bimetallism from one end of the country to the other until the breaking out of the Spanish-American War, when he raised and organized the Third Regiment Nebraska Volunteers and was made colonel of the regiment. The year 1S0O saw him once more in the field as the democratic standard bearer. This time he received the indorsement of the populists and the silver depublicans. The issue, however, was "Imperialism,'' Mr. Bryan declaring ta at the holding of colonies or

outlyicg possessions like Puerto Rico and the Philippines was not contemplated by the founders of the republic, nor allowable under its constitution. The result was 155 votes for Mr. Bryan In the electorial college and 293 for Mr. McKinley. Soon after the 1900 election he established the Commoner, a weekly political journal, published in his home town of Lincoln. Neb. In addition to editing his paper Mr. Bryan has been a familiar figure on the lecture platform and he has Issued two widely circulated books, "The First Battle" and "Under Other Flags." He is the author of many special articles written for magazines and newspapers. He has also been something of a farmer, but it is suspected that this has been for pleasure and not for revenue only. Ovations Abroad. On the occasion of a tour around the world made by Mr. Bryan within the last two years he was treated with marked respect in the many countries which he visited. Japan, China, Russia, England and Continental Europe rendered him distinguished honor. He had an audience with King Edward. The Lord Chancellor of England commended him before the Interparliamentary conference, which cheered his speech in favor of his internation

al peace resolution and promptly adopted it. His genial disposition and kindly nature are as often spoken of by Bryan's friends as his ability and uprightness of character. His home life is declared ideal. The family live at Fairview, a beautiful country home. which Mr. Bryan insists every one shall regard as a farm. There is no pomp there. The family is astir at 7 o'clock every morning and at 7:30 it sits down to breakfast. This breakfast is a hearty one. After that the farmer-editor plunges into his work of the day by opening the mail received by rural free delivery. When Mrs. Bryan has finished her household duties she becomes a stenographer and takes down the answers to her husband's letters. He then dictates to her most of his editorials. The Bryans have three children, Ruth Bryan Leavitt, wife of an artist now in Paris; William Jennings Bryan Jr., and Miss Grace Bryan, who attends school in Virginia. Mrs. Leavitt has two little children, one Ruth, named after her mother, who is 4 and Bryan, who is nearly 3 years old. These two are the two real rulers of the household. Social life at Fairview is very democratic. The family has a great many friends in Lincoln and there is much visiting to and fro. The "farm" abounds with attractions both bucolic and urban. There are plenty of horses- and dogs and barns and crops and shady nooks, a library filled with well-selected books, and a porch where all visitors are cordially received and made to feel that they are welcome to a well-appointed, thoroughly American home. EARLHAM ORATORS MEET ONJflME STAGE Hoelscher and Pennington in Oratorical Contest. For the second time in the history of the National Intercollegiate Prohibition Oratorical Association, the same college has two representatives in the same contest. Last year Gustav Hoelscher, of Earlham, won the Eastern Interstate contest, and thi3 year Levi T. Pennington, pastor in the Friends' meeting at Knightstown, Ind., won the contest at the World's Centennial Temperance Congress at Saratoga, N. Y. Both will be in the national contest at Columbus, Ohio on July 14. ELECTROLYSIS. Superfluous Hair, Moles, Warts, removed by the Electric Needle Operation. The only sure and safe method.
