From the Washington Star: WON
an" remarked Mr.. Gooseling OF
Georgetown, "is heavens best gift to
man, but whether 1t means married
woman or not, am not 80 certain.
Now, there's my wife; I've known g
good many women in my time, and !
don't think I'd be willing to change
her for. any woman ever met, saw or
heard of. We've been married twenty;
years, and in all that time we've never
had cross word that we didn't get
disposed of somehow, before we had
many more. It's the only way to get
along with woman. I'd rather yield
a dozen times day than to eat the
kind of meal my wife can have brought
to the table when she's mind to. I'm
willing to make as many concessions
as the next man, but really think
there Is d limit that any reasonable
woman ought to observe. Not that
my wife is not as reasonable as any
other married woman, mind. you, for
she is. But there. are times when she
makes me doubt the strict accuracy OF
the time-honored maxim I have quot
ed. Now, for instance, the other day
I was doing something or. other around
the house, like man has right to
do on his own premises, and. just as
men sometimes do, put my finger
where / had noSbusiness to put it. and
hit it lick with the hammer.
"..Well,' said to myself. though my
wife was sewing by the window on the
other side Of the room, I'll bet the
biggest darn fool in ten states
"All Of which had a perfect right to
say, but my wife looks up from her
work, and says she: &
William says. she, don't you
know enough about the ethics of gam
bling to know that you have no right
20 bet on certainty 2
That's what she said, and under the
circumstances, what on earth could
say but nothing, and that's what I said.
But hit that nail a lick with the ham,
mer that drove it clear in over its head
and broke pane Of glass that cost
dollar to replace"

Cowboy Mullen's Novel Method
\ Of Sewing Mems Souls

of scripture there IS not a person IN
the audience who has the hardihood to
walk away before the sermon. There
is something in the preachers manner
that forbids any trifling. His exhibi-
tion of what he can do with horse
has caused people to respect him.
William Mullen was a Texas cowboy
for years. None Of his companions on
The Bowbells tribune., 1900-11-09

'.Instead Of leading in the singing of
Heaven Is my Home I will now tame
Flying Devil, a vicious broncho owned
by Brother Smith"
This is the way. Evangelist William
Mullen, the cowboy evangelist now
touring the principal cities, begins his
meetings. The Rev. Mr.. Mullen COM
bines the art of breaking wild horses
The Bowbells tribune., 1900-11-09

with that of saving wayward souls.
He says religion nowadays has to have
some side attraction, and the large
crowds that he draws leads to the
conclusion that he is right. He says
human nature is human nature, no
matter where you find it, and that
horse nature is plagued human"
when you study the disposition of a
bfoncho.
Evangelist Mullen holds his meet
ings in the open air, in places that
gives him ample scope for his eques-
,trian exhibitions. When he appears
upon the platform that is his pulpit
he is not very ministerial looking
figure. He wears a corduroy coat,
"chaps," sombrero, and high-heeled
boots.
The evangelist offers prayer and
then takes of his coat. The broncho
is led up in front of the space reserved
for the anxious bench, and the audi
ence Is Immediately interested. Men
and women form ring at a safe dis
tance from the untamed steed. There
lis much craning of necks, but the
preacher reminds every one that it is
q religious meeting, and that order
must prevail. Then he takes from it's
place on the table beside the Bible
small rope. He approaches the bron-
;cho, which eyes him suspiciously, and
sets its hoofs in a manner that shows
lit is getting ready to buck. Mr.. Null
len pats the horses nose until the an
imal begins to expect piece Of sugar
or a handful of oats. At this point
he steps to the table and takes up
halter that he conceals behind his
back, while he returns to the bron-
cho and resumes his caressing man
ner.
Just as the men are becoming i'm
patient to see some contest of strength
the evangelist slips the halter over
the horses head. The broncho is taken
by surprise. It casts reproachful
glance at the preacher and kicks vi
ciously. Confidence has been betrayed
and it snorts as If it would like to
make the second part Of the evan
gelist's program a failure by fixing
the preacher SO that he would not be
able to appear in public for a month.
But Mr.. Mullen is calm and confident.
He steps to one side Of the horse, and,
after stroking the animals tail, he
braids the rope into it, wrapping the
end tightly. Then he produces another
rope or two. and the crowd waits pa
tiently to see him try to ride. In less
than ten minutes the evangelist is
ready to vault upon the broncho's
back. AS he takes the halter and
shouts "Get up!" there is much enthu-
? siasm.
Men press around the ring and tell
one another that the ..sky pilot"
1 knows his business, and that he
ought not to waste his time on persons
when he knows what he can do with
horses. After finishing his feat the
evangelist puts on his coat, wipes his
heated brow with his handkerchief,
and says his topic will be Going to
Hell at a 2:2O Gait" He has keen
eye and pleasant face, and when he
opens the Bible to read a few verses

the range could swing lasso or ride
a fractions horse as he could, and he
won much fame even in Texas for his
horsemanship. His fame travelled SO
far that Buffalo Bill heard of him and
offered him place with the Wild
West show. But the cowboy preferred
