STEPMOTHERS.

The masses of mankind are
likely to think of the stepmothe]
as fiery, pepper and acid sort
O. proposition. In some in
stances this is true just as il
may be true of the real mother.
Not long ago Vice-ChanceIlor
Pitney, of New Jersey, referring
to the matter of stepmothers
said: Il never knew of a STEP
mother who was a good mother.
There may be such instances on
record, but | know of none, and
ave had some experience"
Alas! for the boasted exper-
ience of Mr. Pitney. Few can
be found who will agree that his
experience has been very ex-
tensive; in fact. it must have
been very limited, else he would
not have made such a pitiable
display of ignorance. One has
not far to look among their ac-
quaintances to find a stepmother
who IS as true a mother in every
sense as the real mother could
have hoped to be. AS a general
thing the normal woman possess
es all the maternal instinct that
is necessary for the welfare of
the child. She is not likely to
delude herself and spoil the
child pondering over the impene-
trable mystery of why, as her
children are so much better than
other peoples children, they
don't die young?
There are many failures in the
role of stepmothers, but there
would in all probability be Just
as great failures had they off
spring of their very own. If
motherhood with it's God-like
love, possesses a single defect it is
the inability to see her children
as others see them, to view them
with an impartial eye. The STEP
an the other hand, may
possess a suficiency of the ma
ternal affection to insure the
welfare of the child and yet not
become blinded to it's faults.
However, stick to your mother
Tor her love will never fail you.
The next best thing is good {
'tepmother, and her love is
warm return. {

ONCE TROuNGED BY LINCOLN
Col. j. G. Crouch Of Olympia Relate:
Thrilling Adventure With Mar
tyred President.

SPOKANE, Nov. 14.-Colonel john
G. Crouch, who has just been elected
to the office of justice of the peace
in Olympia, has the unique distinction
of being perhaps the only person
alive who ever was thoroughly
"trounced" by Abraham Lincoln. He
also received his first package of
Fourth of July firecrackers from the
hands of the martyred president. The
firecrackers were given as a balm for
the whipping, which proved to have
been undeserved.
Crouch was born in 1S43 on a farm
at Rochester, ILL.,, and as boy farmer
he supplied the Lincoln household with
farm products. Once he had occasion
to enter the Lincoln barn, just in time
to fall into the grasp of Abe who
was in a thoroughly eXtsperated mood
because someone had been stealing
eggs from the barn. Without look
ing to see who it was he mad hold of,
Lincoln proceeded to lay on with a
buggy whip. When he had cooled
down a trifle he took the boy to the
door and in the better light saw that
he had made a mistake, and expressed
much regret, and as a peace Offering
gave young Crouch three packages of
firecrackers, the first ne ever had.
