A Step-Mother's Troubles

TroublesI Everybody has 'em. Some
step.mothers certainly do. It's so easy to
think hard about your step.mother. Yet
many OF them try their best to fill
towards their foster little ones q true
mothers place, and some OF them succeed
in doing this. Who but admires, and
loves as did the great Lincoln himself,
the step.mother SalIy Johnston, who
played SO tender and motherly role
towards Abe the yourg motherless son of
Nancy Hanksf
But it is often a hard job. They say
no house is big enough for two families;
so it SCENE sometimes as if the children
were bound by nature to pull In the very
opposite direction from the step-mother's
way. We saw an illustration OF this the
other day. Passing along one of our side
streets the writer saw a step.motheF fol-

the late heavy rains, wetting their feet of
course, and muddying themselves more
or less. At last, after much fuss and
worry and coaxing upon her part, all her
little flock dutifully forsook the pond for
which they seemed to have great fond
ness-all but two or three naughty fellows
who Jagged behind to have some further
fun in the pond-in fact to have good
old swim init! Their step-mother seemed
to dread the water as much as these little
Fascals liked it-and no wonder, for they
were ducks and she was only henl
It was real amusing to see how per-
picked and distressed their hen step
mother would get as they went straight
for the water, and plunged headlong into
it, and no amount of scolding and cluck-
ing upon her part seemed to make much
difference with the little ducklings! The
last seen of her che was giving the pond a
wide birth, and doing her best to draw
her runaway charges after her. Yes.

MRS. eddy, FOUNDER
OF CHRISTIAN
science CULT, HAS
PASSED AWAY

BOSTON, Dec. 4.-Mrs. Mary Baker
Glover Eddy, the discoverer and found
er of Christian Science has passed away.
Entirely apart from any acquescence
in her beliefs, the consensus of opinion
is that a remarkable woman has passed
away in the death of Mrs. Eddy. The
originality of her doctrines have been
denied and their validity scoffed at, but
the organization of the Christian Science
church stands today as a monument to
her genius as an organizer. Like so
many women who have exercised large
influence in the world. whether a st.
Catherine or Pompadour, her origin
was, humble, though in her case not OBJ
scure. The story of the first fifty years
of her life is monotonous and depress-
ing. 1t is the story of an ambitious
sickly woman, with poverty and mis-
fortune to face. The last forty years
is the story of the rise and spread of
the cult which she founded and organ
lied
About her life, legends have sprung
up almost as thick, as about the mys-
teal lives of the middle ages. Simple
facts about her are the subject of the
bitterest dispute. Indeed, the question
that she was still alive has been SER
iously raised from time to time and on
one occasion she appeared before jury
of newspaper Representatives to prove
that in fact she was still among the
quick
Whether Christian Science is Quin-
byism worked over is of no great i'm
portance. The salient fact is that un-
der Mrs. Eddy's guidance mental heal
Ing was accepted in whole or in part
by millions of people and under her di-
rection they were compacted into one
of the strongest organizations the
world has known. From her writings.
crude and unliterary, she amassed a
fortune of a million dollars and her
property she managed with the same
skill and acuman that she managed her
church.
Christian Science has not only gath
cred to itself large body of devotees,
but it has powerfully influenced the
medical profession and Christian de-
nominations. In the churches it has
given rise to the Emmanuel movement
and other movements of similar sort.
In the medical profession, the in
fluence of the mind in diseases has of
course been recognized. But the prog
ress of Mrs. Eddy's cult undoubtedly
has turned attention more sharply in
that direction than otherwise would
have been likely.

Senator Maxwell received a
