WHERE is CIRCUIT RIDER?
old-Fashioned ltinerant Preacher
Seems to Have Vanished From
Present-Day Warld

What has become of the old circuit
rider? He seems to have gone, to
have vanished entirely from the pres
ent-day world, although to the older
generations he figured in the lives OF
the people to whom he ministered.
In their day the circuit riders knew
little Of home or rest, for each had
from seven to fifteen parishes, miles
apart from each other. When night
overlook the circuit rider and his
horse-this was the minister's usual
mode Of travel-he stopped with some
member of one Of his parishes. And
be 1t said 1t was great honor, indeed,
to have the great fortune to entertain
the minister at meal or over night
Probably the much overworked
man would get to spend one night In
a week at home, perhaps not that. His
life was uncertain and wandering, but
his faith was that which "passeth un-
derstanding." But his days were num-
bered and are gone, probably never to
be revived. He was a figure, however,
that is typical Of the pioneers Of Amer
ica-he knew his duty and was faith
full In the performance Of II.

A Vital DUTY.

Before a girl of the more fortunate
classes goes out into society, she must
be protected In some way or another.
II she be for instance, convent bred,
or II she come from an ideal home, 1t
may very well be and often is that she
needs no instruction whatever, be-
cause she is, in fact, already made un-
approachable by the tempter. Fortu-
nate, indeed, Is such girl. But those
forming this wall-guarded class are
few, and parents and guardians may
often be deceived and assume more
than they are entitled to. At any rate,
for the vast majority of girls some pos
tive instruction is necessary. It is
the mother who must undertake this
responsible and difficult task before
she admits the girl to the perils of the
world. Further, by some means or
other, instruction must be afforded for
the ever-increasing army of girls who
go out to business. 1t is to me a new
er ceasing marvel that loving parents,
devoted to their daughters welfare,
shoul fail in this cardinal and critical
point OF duty, so constantly as they
do-Dr. G. W. Saleeby, in the Forum.

about it.
Well. you see, it's this way he
said. My brother and have kept the

WHEN TO PROPOSE MARRIAGE
English Lady Would Have Men Pro-
pose In Daylight, Preferably
Before Breakfast.

The London papers, wearying of
politics, have fallen into controversy
as to the time at which man should
propose marriage. The briefest an.
swer so far given to the question is:
"At the earliest opportunity" But
there has come forward certain
Lady Troubridge with a suggestion
more amplified as we'll as more orig
inal than that. She would have men
propose by daylight only, and at that
preferably before breakfast, at the
hour when the human being Is sup
posed to be at the worst.
In making this suggestion Lady
Troubridge does not feel that she is
advocating anything which will work
against the ancient custom of marry
ing and giving in marriage. She does
not feel that the adoption of her idea
would deplete the strength of the en-
pire. She feels, rather, that 1t would
strengthen the social fabric.
Lady Troubridge holds that among
the causes of unhappy marriages
there is none more general than the
proposal by moonlight, or in the soft
evening glow that Eliminates the
conservatory, that haven in which the
loved and lover escape the crowded
ball room. In the unromantic day
light, she believes, thousands of men
who should not propose would hold
their tongues, for by daylight they
look on life as 1t is, and the fear of
consequences enters their hearts.
