Mr William Jennings Bryan, who was Mr. Taft's opponent in the recent Presidential election, is regarded all. over America as one of the kindest^ hearted and most genial of men. He is known far and wide as "the man who loves his neighbour as "himself ," and many are the stories told of his good deeds. .Although" 1 he is said to make £10,000 a year as a lecturer, Mr Bryan" lives "the simple life" in real earnest, and he is a strict teetotaler «nd has a hatred of tobacco in all its .forms. In spite of his popularity, •however. Mr Bryan is extremely mod.ost, and is a true democrat in all circumstances. "I thought it a duty, he -once' remarked, "to go through the country to prove to my enemies that I don's wear horns, and to my friends that I don't wear wings."
