THE CIRCUIT RIDERS HORSE.

Chicago Chronicles: Once upon a time
the Rev. Frank Gunsaulus, the popular
preacher. was a poor circuit rider. He
travelled from town to town, lifted over
the roads in farm wagons and boarded
around at the houses Of the deacons, re-
turning occasionally to his fathers old
farm to spend a few days. His father,
SO the story goes, was a rough old chap
Of the uncut diamond sort, with a voca-
bulary more expressive than elegant.
Well, at one time young Gunsaulus
found himself in possession Of enough
money to buy him a horse. He thought
1T would be better to ride his own animal
around the circuit than to borrow trans
portatlon. 1t was a sorry looking steed,
this. but 1t answered the purpos and,
what was more to the point, it was
cheap. So after he had bought it he
rode 1T home. HIS father was in the barn
yard when he came in, and he looked
critically at the animal.
Where did We git that boss, Frank ?''
he asked.
Il bought him cheap, father,'' said the
young preacher.
He's a sorry lookin' ~critter, I must
say" said the father. u
We'll, father" said Frank, "you re-
member t 1t our Saviour rode into Jeru-
salem on a worse looking animal thar
this"
And the old man looked at the horse
again and said:
burned if I don think it's the same
one!"

IN DEFENSE OF sTEPMOTHERs.

Most of us v been brought up on
the good old orthodox fairy tales is
the position taken Oy NJ. +. J.. Kelley
when making "A Plea for the Stepmoth-
err IN January Woman's Home Compan-
ION. We have imb:bed with our earliest
of literature the notion that
stepmothers are all wicked and cruel
hends. The novelists of later date, TAX
ing their clue from the fairy stories. have
elaborated on this assumption until the
very name of 'stepmother' carries with
IT a suggestion of cruelty and oppression.
We find it quite credible that when the
sweetest girl of our acquaintance be-
comes a stepmother she will feed her own
babies on angel-cake and make the dead
wife's children get on with plain brown
bread. We are shocked. OF course. but
we expect all manner Of atrocious things
from stepmothers.
The stepmother's side of the case is
never heard. It seems to be the first
Wife's friends who .,Sn into print al
ways. AS a rule, too. they are the ones
who stir up trouble in the first place be-
tween the children m their stepmother.
Once in awhile no doubt, there is a
wicked. cruel stepmother Of the story
book type. because there are still some
spite of all the evidences of women's
advancement. When la king about STEP
mothers, however. we rarely recall the
fine types Of stepmothers who stand out
50 gravely In the pages of more than one
biography. There was that remarkable
family to which Maria Eldgeworth be-
longed, with its more than twenty chill.
dren and two s~tepmothers. Their father
had been married three times, and each
stepmother was mourned as heartily by
her stepchildren as by her own. And
there was Mrs. Johnson. Lincoln's step
mother. whom h always loved and pro-
vided for. and she must certainly have
loved him in quite mutherly fashion.
Otherwise she could ha rdly have paid
him that charming tribute: He was the
best boy she ever knew or ever expect
ed to know She never knew him once
to refuse to do anything she wanted him
to do or seem not to want to do it,"

BRET HARTE'S ARRIVAL.

II entered the barroom. 1t was crowded
with miners and traders. and a few
smartly dressed professional looking
men. Hare again my vanity led me into
Extravaganza. l could not bear to adj
dress the important, whi.s-shirt-sleeved
n diamond-pinned barkeeper as a mere
boyisl suppliant for Information. I was
silly enough to demand a drink and laid
down. alas! another quarter.
~ had asked my question, the barkeep-
er had handed me the %decanter, and l
had poured out the stuff With as much
ease and grown up confidence as l could
assume, when a singular incident oc-
CURED. AS it had some bearing upon my
fortune. / may relate it here.
The ceiling Of the saloon was sup
ported by a half dozen wooden columns
eighteen inches square, standing
IN a line parallel with the counter of the
b;r and about two feet from it. The
mont of the bar was crowded with GUS
toners, when suddenly to my astonish-
ment they. one and all. put down their
glasses and hurriedly backed into the
spaces between the columns. At the
same moment a shot a fired from the
street through the large open doors that
stood at right angles with the front of the
counter and the columns.
"fTha bullet raked and splintered the
mouldings of the counter front, but WITH
no other damage. The shot was returned
from the upper end of the bar, and then,
for the first time, l became aware that
two men with levelled %revolvers were
shooting at each other through the sa-
loon.
The hystanders in range were fully
protected by the wooden columns: the
barkeeper had ducked below the counte
at the first shot. Six shots were ex.
changed by the duellists, but as far as 1
could see nobody was hurt. A mirror
was smashed, and my glass had part of
rs RIM carried Clearly away by the third
shot and its contents spilled.
n had remained standing near the
counter, and I presume l may have been
projected BY the columns; but the whole
