Mr. Hryan is a rapid talker, but his wife, al though knowing none of the estab lished stenographic systems, is able to keep pace with Ills dictation. She uses a method of abbreviations of her own contrivance. He also dictates to her most of his editorials for The Commoner.

For years she has been traveling with him, meeting tho men who confer with him taking part in the discussions, Sne now lias a most capable private secretary and handles a heavier cor respondence than.
