proud of their famous citizen and the
rt publicans as well as democrats join-

The Bryan home is about four miles
from the heart of Lincoln. II is named
F'ili'vlcw and it is well named. The
view on every side is fair and far. It
is a circling: si retch of undulating
prairie thick dotted with buildings
large and small and livened on the
west by the smoking chimneys and
dome of the slate house building. And J

The farm is well slocked with prize

neatest pleasures in these animals.
The house Itself is handsomely but
pimply furnished with the library as
its most distinctive feature.
Like the rest of the house it is
handsomely furnished wilh a plenty
of polished oak and four walls of in-
tcresling pictures pictured walls very
often reflect the personalities dwell-
ing within them you know.
From these walls look down Lincoln

Jlryan and Jefferson. There is also
'a picture of the White House in Wash-

The books on the shelves run the
whole gamut of literature ancient
and modern with emphasis on essavs
and economic subjects and the flat
top desk a massive affair is lightly
burdened with writing materia.! since

nearly all of his writing in his office in

his constant companion in everything

ersed the continent under similar cir-

real significance of the familiar word
"Colonist" bo frequently associated
with the advertisements of various
railroads in connection with i-o.tnH

The latter part of the definition only
is the sense recognized by the Amer-
ican people today. F'or the time has
passed when we look to foreign coun-
tries for colonists. Today those sec-

sparsely nettled are being- filled with
our own people.
