and then all my troubles began.

on the front of the wheel and used to take
the baby out on that. But after awhile
she seemed to tire of the baby--I guess it
was in the way. And then got to be like
the baby--in the way. She was no longer
so anxious to have me along

Red BIoomers Worn In Church.

The good people of the Methodist church
at Mason, o., received shock the other
night from which 1t is doubtful II they
ever recover. Miss Ada Coleman, one OF
the bellies Of Warren county and organist
Of the church, marched down the center
aisle at the evening service attired in red
bloomers of the most fashionable cut. To
say that the congregation was amazed and
Mortified is putting 1t mildly. There were
no ears for the minister's discourse, no
eyes for anything but the organist' bloom
ers. Miss Coleman, so IL is said, was the
only person present who appeared cool and
unconoerned.

other young ladies Of the Methodist con-
gregation quickly followed suit, Rev
John Wordsworth, their pastor, upholds

delicate and unwomanly conduct she says
that 1t was her love of exciting pleasure
that tempted her to take the false step.
She is mistaken. 1t was not the love of

looking glass paper and make her the
subject of obscene comment in every club

"a little more than 40 years ago Cady
Stanton ind Susan B. Anthony, weary of
the restraints of the Bible and the law of
God written on their own being mounted
the stump and began their career as polit-
ical crusaders. Then began the evolution
that has eliminated in the new woman"
"Bishop Doane of New York has cata-
logued few of the denominations for
which these creators Of the new woman are
responsible A new Bible translated into
denial of the original record of creation;
constitutions altered to disturb the equi-
poise of the relation between man and
woman; motherhood replaced by mannish-
ness; neglected homes which furnish can
didates for mismanaged offices; the fires
Of political disoord lighted on the hearth
stone of domestic peace and the destruc-
tion Of the instructive ohivalry of conceded
courtesies.'
why did not the distinguished bishop
90 further and tell us that Cady Stanton
has notified the army of new women that
she has reached the conclusion that the
Bible is an antiwoman book and should be
consigned to oblivion. Here Is literal
quotation from this progenitor Of the new
woman: The Bible has strong hold on
multitudes of women and is the chief block
in the way of their emancipation. The
general tendency of its teaching is to de-
grade woman, to assign her an inferior po-
sition, subject to man. 1t makes her the
origin Of evil, marriage condition Of
slavery, maternity a curse. want to
