Bryan And Cleveland

BRYAN AND CLEVELAND.

County Clerk Schuh Mistaken For Both Last Saturday

Last Saturday as the genial, well groomed county clerk was pushing his way through a crowd to get into the court house, a lady noticing the ever present smile and well rounded form thought she recognized Col. W. J. Bryan, and rushing up grasped the hand of Capt. Schub and said. "How do you do Col. Bryan, I have long desired to see you and shake your hand. I knew yon at the first glance, you look so like your pictures. " The captain's smile broadened and deepened and he bowed graciously while informing the lady of her mistake. It was apparent that he was not greatly offended by the error. Later he was mistaken for ex-President Cleveland and a lot of students gathered about him and shouted, "What's the matter with Grover," and called for a speech. He did not respond with a speech, his good nature simply expanded until, in that line, he could be denominated an imperialist. No affront was taken. How could there be? It is not often that one man combines the characteristics of two such distinguished and diverse American citizens so as to be readily taken for either.
