THURSDAY.MAY 21.1908.
One of Bryan's Experiences.
4,I went out in the fall of 18*4 to
make a political speech in an Irish
settlement, at a place called liuckI
horn School House; aud a friend
took me out in his buggy. We knew
about where the school house was,
but not exactly,and as we proceeded
we occasionally inquired, to be sure
that we were on the right road.
Wheu we were almost there and it
was almost dark, a man rode by on
a white horse. I called to him and
ask him if that was the road to Buckhora.
School House, lie checked
up his horse and said. "No; you
ought to have turned off about a
half mile back." Then he thought
he had better find out more about
us, so he came up and looked into
the buggy, and said,"Who is it?'' I,
told him. "Oh," he asked, "you
are the man coming out to speak?"
I said, "Yes, sir." "Well," he said,
4kihi3 is the right road. I thought
you might be coming out to disturb
the meeting.'' (Laughter.)
We rode along, laughing at the
effort of this Irishman to protect the
meeting. His name was Timothy
Ftynn (Laughter.) Poor fellow, he
died about a year ago, and just betore
he died he presided at a meeting
where I spoke at Jacksonville,
Illionis. It was just tweuty years
years after the Buckhorn School
House meeting, and I told this story
in his presence, and he confirmed all
that I said, showing that my memory
had not failed me, although it
' had been almost a (juarter of a century
since the meeting.
Well, we were laughing at his effort
to protect us from disturbance;
and ye soon reached the school
house. He,however, had arrived before
us, and the gentlemen who was
with me got out on one side and
tied the horse, while I got out on
the other side. Timothy Flynn
came up to me and led me oft a little
way from tbe buggy, pulled out a
bottle and said, "Won't you have
something to drink?" I said, "No,
thank you." lie said, "You had
better take a little." "No," I said,
"I don't care for any." "Just a
drop,"he insisted.(Laughter.) I said,
"No, I don't use it;" and he laid
his hand upon my shoulder, and I
can hear his voice now, full of pathos,
lis he said, "Well, do the best
you can, anyhow.'' (Applause and
continued laughter)-- The Commoner.

"Foe to all the finer feelings of the j

The yonng ladies and little
girls were indefatigable in their
labor of love and saw that
cream and cake was served to
one and all, and it was not long
ere the cents grew to dimes and
the dimes became dollars.
After the refreshments had
been served there was left a
number of elegant cakes which
' were sold at auction. Mr. Wade

i voice he called the crowd toj

The closing- feature of the

At a late hour the crowd dispersed
for their respective

that they had contributed

''On the way up to! my flat I c;

I met the undertaker. ^ it
was the decent thing to
show respect for the deau, particu
larly in view of the statement of
the undertaker that the dead man
had no friends in the city. The
people with whom he lived were
acquaintances only.
"I followed the undertaker to the
room. Only a few persons were
present. The undertaker took a
prayer book from his pocket and
read the Episcopal burial service.
"After that the undertaker's employees
carried the coffin downstairs
and placed it in a hearse. lie and
his men stepped into the carriage,
The cortege moved down the street.
[ learned later that the body was
shipped to the former home of the
deceased.
"The head of the apartment
where the stranger had a room said
to me:
" 'We didn't know much about
him. He was quiet in his coming
and going. When he was taken
sick he asked to be sent to a hospital.
It was done.
"'The day before he died-he sent
a request to have any service that
might be held in case of his death
at the apartment where he had

" 'I knew nothing of his antecedents.
When I spoke to an undertaker
about it he said he would attend
to everything, and he did, but
when he read the service I was as
much surprised as you were.'
"The undertaker told me afterward
that he was an ex-preacher
and that he frequently officiated at
the funerals of strangers. And I

in the mouth of a child would
be startling.
Yet a little boy I know, who is

which placed him in the front rank of
national leaders. In this letter the governor
suggested a conference of gov'
ernors and attorneys general to he
! called by the president at Chicago.
The conference was held in the followi
ing February, and Governor Johnson.
. as its chairman and dominant figure, i

embodied in the law in .Minnesota and i

While the momentous decision recentiy
given by the supreme court in
similar eases coming lip from North
Carolina and Minnesota may have the j
effect of invalidating some of the railway
legislation secured by Governor
Johnson in Minnesota, the fact remains
that he lias done what he set out to do
