Old Time "Circuit Riders"

It is impossible for the present
generation of preachers to appre
ciate the tolls of their predecessors
in the west and south. The labor
of "riding a circuit" was incredibly
great. Roads were mere bride
paths through the wilderness.
There were no bridges. When
streams were narrow and shallow
they were forded; when deep and
wide the lonely rider tied his
clothes in bundle on his head and
forced his horse to swim. Often
there was not even a semblance OF
a road, and the preacher found his
way by the compass, or, if he had
none, by the course of the sun by
day and the position of certain well
known stars by night. If he lost
his course there was nothing for
him to do but camp out all night.
If he had the means he built a fire
to scare away the wolves, bears
and even more feared panthers. If
the wild beasts were not numerous
he slept, but if he saw half a dozen
pairs of glowing eyes in the circle
of darkness round his fire he stayed
awake, piled on more wood and
now and then shouted and cast
flaming brands at the "varmints"
that came too close.
Nor were the discomforts of
travel his only annoyance. After
days severe riding he would reach,
long after nightfall, a settlement
where Methodists were i'm plenty.
Tired almost to death he enters
the log cabin of good brother, and
would give all his worldly posses
sions for a chance to lay his head
on his saddle and go to sleep at
once. But not so. The preacher
must be entertained. The old
woman and the girls began hurried
culinary operations. A boy is sent
out of the cabin with whispered
orders about "that red pullet."
Five minutes later the preacher
hears chicken squall, and knows
he must wait for supper before he
will be allowed to sleep.
An hour passes away, relieved
by the old mans inquiries about
Brother SO-and-so and Sister Such
a-one on the same or another cir
cult, and the weary preacher sits
down to a supper of corn bread
burned on the outside, dough in
the middle: fried chicken swim
ming in fat, and rye coffee sweeten-
ed with maple sugar. And he
must eat, too, else his host and
hostess may think him proud and
''stuck up" and "to good to eat
folks victuals."-St. Louis

A Snug Rug for q Gold Bug.


At Lenox, Mass, early this week
there was a special exhibit of rugs.
The gem of the collection was an
antique rug from the palace of the
Shah, Huboss, made of pure Per-
sian silk and silver. There is but
one other like it in the country.
The design and coloring are exquis-
ite. The ground of the field is a
brilliant silver, and in another
light a pale fawn. The centre piece
is diamond shaped medallion,
with a central shield Of old pink,
beautifully embroidered. Well,
before this rug stood lady, whose
name shall not he divulged, sur
veying it with quiet satisfaction.
Il like this very much,' said she
to her husband, who was with her.
Il think I'll have it for the dining
room.'
Over her husbands face there
stole the sad, far away look man
assumes when he is asked to put
his hand in his pocket and produce
good money.
How much is it?' he inquired,
resignedly turning to the man in
charge.
Fifteen thousand dollars,' replied
that official, blandly.

lin East Java China band Of con-
traband opium dealers, passing through
Jungle, saw two tigers following them.
They lost not moment in fastening
their steps, but the least nimble Of
them found the beasts Of prey at his
heels, when he spicd u tiger trap. He
crept into it with the forbidden freight
on his back. The trap shut the closer
for the hoavy weight, and when danger
no longer threatened tho dealer, he at
tempted to lift up tho door Of the trap,

Food For Thought.

What attracts man is one thing;
what will hold him and command
his respect is quite another.
A woman's smile, for example,
attracts man; but an even temper
retains him.
A pretty gown attracts man;
the knowledge that it was inexpen-
sive delights him.
A pleasant manner attracts a
man; brightness of brain holds
him.
A knowledge of how, when and
where to he little stately, attracts
a man; an appreciation of the folly
Of frivolity wins his respect.

The roadway in France is wide

in this city. The lovers of the legitimate

theatergoers of the most intelligent kind. The
latter very seldom move toward the theaters

that the theater managers of Pittsburg can
confirm.

The Semi. Animal Encampmenf.

The semi-annual encaupment at Gettysburg
last week was one of the most pleasant ever
held. In numerical strength it was not as large
as former ones, but in enJoymentith has not been
surpassed. Pittsburg was well represented in
Reserves" and others. There were many
ladies at the camp, and they enjoyed them
selves as much as the old boys. Most of the
time during the days was spent on the great
battlefield. The comrades never tire of re-
visiting that place and living over again in
thought the great tragedy. The hundreds Of
beautiful monuments to the brave men who
fought there were inspected. A feature of the
encampment were the lectures of Captain
James Long on the battle of Gettysburg. The
series consisted OF four, and one was delivered
each evening. They were illustrated by large
pbotoIrapbs tatee immediptev after the bat
tie. Excellent concerts were given each evening
by the National Cornet Band of Philadelphia.
At the business session of the Encampment
Williamsport put in request for the summer
encampment for next year. Gettysburg did SO
also. 1t was decided to hold it at Williamport
If the people there would guarantee the ex-
penses. If they will not Gettysburg is to be
given a chance. If neither will guarantee the
funds to secure the encampment the Council
of Administration will fix upon place and
time. Tuesday was Reserves" day, and the
monuments of that famous organization were
formally turned over to the Gettysburg Battle
monuments were dedicated on Tues.
day The RESERVES" have some Of
the finest monuments on the field. Ex-
Governor Curtin was. of course, there and
addressed his old comrades. No General was
more thought of by his soldiers than Governor
Curtin. The history of the reserves is well
known. Governor Curtin suggested the rails
ing of the regiments that became the Pennsyl.
vana Reserves. The suggestion was followed.
and half the regiments were raised in Western
Pennsylvania. Two, the Eighth and Ninth.
were especially Pittsburg organizations. The
Tenth had good many men In Its ranks from
Allegheny county.
Governor Beaver said he was in favor of the
erection of Memorial Hall. but would give his
reasons for vetoing the bill at another time.
Department Commander Denniston. in COM
panY with his wife, returned home Friday
morning, after having spent a delightful time
at the encampment fattering compliment
was paid the Major by the department. His
semi-annual address was considered so full of
good points and suggestions that it was
solved to have it printed Immediately and dis
tributed through the department by general
orders instead of waiting for the official report
in book form. Camp was broken Friday morn
ing,
