A CEACK LN THE ICE
The Marvelous Escape of a Young
Circuit Eider.
OOXE will deny
that there is a
particularly ro
mantic side to
the life and la
bore of the early
circuit rider. As
tha forerunner
oX our modern
civilization, the
pioneer preach
er went forth
with a com
mendable faith
and fortitude to
prepare tha
way for the
coming hosts
who should
oak the wilderness and the solitary
place glad by their skillful and indus
trious efforts. The pioneer clergyman
was, therefore, the intrepid explorer
of our frontier regions; and it would
not be an exaggeration to aver that
volumes could be written about his
struggles, triumphs aud adventures
la those primeval days which tested
to the utmost the bravery and the re
ligious faith of men.
A lucky circumstance having thrown
me into the company of one of those
pioneer preachers, he took pains to re
late to me the following bit of ex
perience he had had when a dashing
young circuit rider:
"It was in the winter of '76-77," said
the clergyman, "that there happened,
in connection with my labors as a pio
neer preacher, one of those memorable
Incidents with which the life of a 'back
woods' parson is crowded. 1 was then
in control of what was known as the
layette and Manistique circuit, lo
cated on the north shore of Lake Mich
igan and In the upper peninsula. This
circuit was nearly forty miles in
length; and, despite this tremendous
distance, I managed to cover it every
Sabbath, with tut few exceptions.
Frequently the roads were made liter
ally impassable for horses, owiug to a
heavy snowfall, or a windstorm which
hurled great trees across the way so as
to obstruct travel, or to the rising
floods in the spring of the year sweep
ing away one Or more of the innumer
able frail bridges which spanned the
streams. This being the case it is not
to be wondered at that I was often
Kbliped to walk a portion of the dis
tance at least, to some of my appoint
ments. My circuit was one of the
most difficult to work, because of these
and other reasons. Besides, boing the
only ordained clergyman in that re
gioa those days, I was, of course, not
infrequently called upon to take long
and perilous journeys In order to visit
the sick, bury the dead, administer the
rite of baptism, or perform the mar
riage ceremony. I would travel for
miles without catching a glimpse of an
abode or a human being; and the se
verity of the winters in that locality
tended to intensify the ferocity of the
wolves, which were alarmingly nu
merous in the dense and wild forests
along those bleak shores.
"One bitter cold morninc lust before
the close of the year 'ft, I got my horse
and cnttcr ready for a trip across what
is known as Garden bay on the newly
for.ncd ice, which appeared to be per
lectly safe and sound. Some of the
settlers had crossed with their teams
only a few days before, and I deemed
it safe enough to go that way, too. Be-
sides, it was considerable of a short
cut, saving me an unnecessary drive of
at least fifteen miles. The distance
across the ice was about twelve miles.
"My horse was a noble and trusty
animal, and very tractable withaL
Having driven him through many dan
gerous places and thoroughly tested
bis staying qualities and evenness ef
temper, I learned to put all confidence
in him. I drove him briskly on the ice
that morning, for I had no more time
than I needed in which to reach my
objective point. It was an important
wedding which called me away, and
the contracting parties were particular
friends of mine. The bride s fa
ther at whose residence the cer
emony was to take place was i

dealer and owned extensive tracts of
pin land, also two of the largest saw
mills in that locality. e was a verit
able lumber kinir. Hence it was to
mv advantage to be on time If possible.
"At I was driving along at a good
pace, however, my horse suddenly
(topped and nervously looked across to
ward the shore which we were skirt
ing. I then saw him tremble as if
with sudden fear. Glancing in tbe di
rection of the shore, I noticed what
seemed to - be some dogs scampering
about at the ecbre of the adjacent, for
est; but I thought nothing of it, and
presumed that a party of Indians were
camped near -tha spot I urged my
horse along over the glare Ice; but I
perceived he was not disposed to travel
wlta his former freedom and alacrity.
In a few minutes I looked around and,
to my great consternation, I observed
a small pack of wolves dashing up be
hind we. I now felt confident that
they were wolves, and not dogs, wh ion
I saw on the shore of the lake. My
horse Was right He doubtless bad

lewd It oot until th7 m4e chate,
The woods from which tha wolres
had emerged were nainhabited by any
human being, and I made np my mind
that my best policy was to keep mov
ing forward, inasmuch as I was more
than half way across the ice. Once a
the other side I would be safe, for the
lumber king's house was right on the
edge of the lake; and if there were no
bad plaees in the ice, I felt reasonably
certain that I could keep the ferocious
beasts off nntil I struck the land. A
ready revolver which I invariably
carried with mo on such journeys
proved 'serviceable for a time; but a
grave difficulty soon confronted me. I
noticed just ahead of my horse a crack
in tbe ice the dread of all drivers IB
those parts. I detected it by the mani
fest unevenness caused by an upheaval
of snow and ice all along the opening,
and also by the dark, watery appear
ance of the ice. let I felt I could pro
ceed. "My horse slackened his speed as he
drew near the opening, which was
about nine inches in width. As he did
so the weight began to bear the ice
down so low that the water was rapid
ly gathering on the surface. I in
stantly wheeled the horse around.

turned again, and, bringing my whip
into requisition, drove up once more
to the opening, but the horse was ter
ribly frightened and refused to jump
across. I turned him around again to
get awsy from the weak ice. By this
time the wolves had grown so bold as
to strike terror through my heart My
horse fairly sweat great drops during
tbe awful crisis, but I was within only
about three miles of my destination
and was determined to force my horse
across the opening as the only feasible
method of escape. The lumber dealer's
bouse lay on the other side of a point
of land which ran out into the lake,
consequently my perilous situation
was not observed by auyone.
'On coming up once more to the for
bidding crack in the ice my horse
again began to falter, yet I spoke to
him so sharply that he became des
perate and leaped across the opening;
but no sooner did he strike the ice on

the farther side than we all broke
through with a resounding crash
which echoed and reechoed along the
dismal, far-reaching shore in the most
weird cadences imaginable. Picture
to yourself the 'Situation. There was
the horse, almost completely covered
with water, the cutter floating behind
him, and I standing up in it fearing
every moment that the wolves would
spring upon me or the horse.
"By the merest casualty, however,
the piece of ice which had broken loose
under the horse's feet when he jumped
happened to be of good size. The re
sult was that when I applied the whip,
my horse, with one tremendous effort,
raised his front feet above water and
planted them firmly in the solid ice, at
which juncture the broken cake of Ice

to buoy up the horse's hind parts to
such an extent that he was enabled to

solid ice beyond the opening, and that
too, without anything breaking either
about the harness or cutter. It waa
all done In a moment or two so quick
ly in fact that the occurrence seemed
more like a dream to me than a stern
reality. To this day it is a profound
mystery to me how a borso could re
cover himself as mine did then after
having broken through into water of
frightful depth. Yet the circumstance
is as true as it is marvelous,
"On-we sped afterwards, as if noth
ing serious had transpired, the wolves
following hard after us; but in a few
minutes the bluff was reached, and
then the lumber kings house was
plainly in sight and within but a trifling
distance.
"I had emptied the last chamber of
my revolver; but while the shots
fired had the desirable effect of beating
the wolves back for the time being,
do not think I succeeded in seriously
wounding any one of them.' As we
ncared the shore the hungry beasts
began to fall back one by one, of their
own accord, until all bad disappeared,
for they became apprehensive and did
not at all relish the signs of civilization
which were becoming more and mora
visible to them.

lumber dealer's home, and was warmly
congratulated on my "remarkable
escape. 1 was neither more nor less
than a hero in the estimation of the
lumber king, whose jolly round face
actually beamed as I related my tale of
adventure. My horse, too, was an ob
ject of enthusiastic admiration, and
oo entering the stable he was thor
oughly rubbed down and warmly
blanketed by willing bands, and
strange to say 1 never noticed that he
was a bit tha worse for his cold bath.

"A few days afterwards I was mora

wealthy lumber dealer a check for five

There are diurnal demonstrations of
tbe weakness and atrength of buman
nature In tbe house of representatives
In great degree, and also manifestations
of humanitarian chanu.-teru.tica In tbe
senate. This observation pertains
principally to these distinguished legis
lative bodies before and after their
daily sessions.
For an hour or mora every morning
a number of the representatives are in
their seats in the house endeavoring to
arrite letters to their constituents, but
the senators seldom enter tbe chamber
where dignity sits enthroned save at tha
Boon hour, when the gavel of tbe vice
president announces that "tbe senate
will be in order. After adjournment
a great many members remain in their
places In the house, and a few of the
senators continue in their seats. Upon
these occasions the doors are opened
and the public has the privilege of tha
Boor. The men and women from vari
ous sections of the country, who huve
neither the nerve nor the capacity to
support themselves without the aid of
others, approach the senators and rep
resentatives with pleas for aid In secur
ing official positions of some kind.
Many a statesman who has the moral
courage to face an enemy upon the
hustings or even upon the field of bat
tle, many a senator whoso dignity is
unapproachable during the sessions of
the body of which he is a member, will
fly from door to door seeking passages
through lobbies and down back stair
cases in order to escape from tbe capl-

women who are guarding the doors and ,
chance to beg for an office cither in the
capitol or in some one of the executive
departments. 1
There is a rotund gentleman from
a northwestern state whose head is
bald and whose florid face Is elosely
shaven, except about the upper lip,
which is adoiucd by a bristling and
carefully curled mustache, who is an
exception to the general rulo. It is
well known that ho Is devoted to
"Wcln, Weib und Gesang" and that
the visits of ladles, particularly if they
are young and beautiful, are as wel
come to him as the flowers tiint bloom
In the spring. They have but to intro
duce themselves when he cheerfully
gives them a seat besido himself,
shakes hands with them, and retains
their right hand within both of his own,
fondling them and looking very lover
like Into their eyes, while ho listens to
each tale of woe. If the applicant for
congressional aid is in her teens, ho
strokes her head in a father-like man
ner and promises the earth
and the fullness thereof; but it
is a well-known fact that his
promises are made to be broken.
When tho ladies' reception room was
located whore the committee on ways
and means now is, this learned judge
and eloquent statesman spent the
greater portion of his time in that room
interviewing the ladies. Since tho re
ception room lias been closed and a lit
tle section of statuary hall has been
set aside for tho accommodation of
visiting citizens of the gentler sex, he
seldom permits himself to receive
them In that public place. It is gener
ally believed that his moral character
Is not above reproach, and the women
who are seen conversing with him, if
young and innocent, usually receive the
commiseration and pity of beholders.
.
The house is called to order every
lay
promptly at noon by the speaker. At a !
quarter to twelve one of the messengers
steps to the clerk's desk in front of the
speaker's chair, hammers upon it, and
says: "I am directed by the doorkeeper 1
to announce that all those who ore not ,
entitled to the privilege of tho floor
must now retire. The rules of the
house require the same." This stereo-!
typed expression is usually received by

the clapping of hands of the pages and
tbe old-timers of the third house. , Tho
people generally do not retire from the
floor upon this announcement but
those who are not accustomed to being
upon tbe floor usually beat a precipitate
retreat All others emaiq until five
minntes of twelve o'clock, when the
various messengers go to each indi
vidual and escort them to ' one of
tbe doors leading into the corridor.
Strangers In the gallery who have been
studying a diagram of the house and
learning the names of all of tha mem
bers, who have been locating the vari
ous statesmen, are greatly disappointed,
when the floor of the house is cleared,
to find themselves looking upon! empty
chairs and to realize that the statesmen
whom they have been admiring are not
statesmen at ail, but lobbyists Or office
seekers who hare been lounging about
In the chairs of the representatives tot
the people. Probably when ail cowana

are left in the house. When tha speak
er strikes his gavel and announces:
"The house will be in order" the few
members present rise la their places
and remain standing while the chaplain
delivers his invocation.
Immediately after prayer there la a
rush of people into tbe corridors of both
the house and senate with cards to send
by the messengers to tbe members upon
the floor. The doors of the house are

be sent to the representative whom he
expects to turn the grindstone.
In the senate it is different There is
a standing order In that body that no
card shall be taken to the senators
earlier than two o'clock in the day,
This rule U a rigid one and is strictly
adhered to, so that the senators are able
to attend to public business for at least
.two hours without any Interruption

enforced by the house of representa
tives. Senators are elected only once in
six years. Representatives must se
cure rencmination and reelection
every two years. Under tho circum
stances it is absolutely necessary for
them to remain in touch with the peo
ple, and no one of them can afford to
have any citizen, however humble,
turned away from the doors by an
iron-clod rule which prohibits the pub
lie from seeing a representative of any
congressional district In this country.
While this is theoretically and constitu
tionally correct it is exceedingly hard
on tho members of the house who reside
in the vicinity of Washington. It doe
not cost very much to travel from any
part of Maryland, Virginia, West Vir
ginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Delaware, or even New York, to the
national capital. Constituents of the
honorable gentlemen from these states
who believe that they are entitled t
official patronage do not hesitate to
come to Washington, ask audiences and
demand the offices of their patrons.
Those statesmen who oomo from tlis
states in the Mississippi valley, or over
beyond the great father of waters, are
less troubled by the personal appeals
of their constituents, and therefore they
havo more time to devote to mutters
legislative and departmental Those,
however, who can afford to come to
Washington throng the corridors and
block the doors, especially the main
door of the bouse, so that tbe door
keepers are sometimes obliged to call
upon the capitol police to clear a pas-sago-way
between the main door and

venience of the members of congress to

representatives usually respond with
promptness and alacrity to the
calls of the correspondents, greet
them with hearty handshakes, ' sit
down beside ' them and talk In
a confidential manner about the
affairs of the day which are of especial
Interest to the renders of their home
papers. It is here that the greater por
tion of the news of local interest to the
newspapers is gleaned by the busy
gatherers of items of interest to thcU
special constituencies.
When a representative comes to one
of the doors in response to a card from
one of his constituents, he finds him

It is aatorat, no doubt, for a tired

Perhaps it Is evea worse thaa Urn to

A GOOD FIGURE.

A good many girls and women ask
frequently how the figure may be im

In one case whloh defied every treat

singing lessons, fattening food, the

body perfeot freedom, was absolutely
successful. Of course there is this

waist ia apt to become very large.' I. To
counteract this, a very short ttay
might be worn, or better still, a long
belt of -stout canvas tlightly boned,
which will compress the waist not too
tightly, preserve one from the uncom

bands, and which will, merely support
the bust without pressing in the least
upon it "
Whatever part of our bodies we- Wish

A TROUBLESOME" QUESTION.
The Manner Its ' Which e Woman Should
speak of Bar Hasbaod ,. ,
One of the questions that a married
woman often finds herself uncertain
upon, sayt the Courier Journal, h jus
how the should speak of her husband
by name to others vrben to speak ot
him as Mr, Jones, when, to use bis first
name and when to give bira his title.
Instinct will; usually guide aright any
woman of gentle breeding. Most wom
en may be trusted, for example, never
to nse their husband t Christian name
in speaking of -him to any one, except
a near relative or very dear Jnend ot
both. But sometimes, womcrt who
should know better address their hus- '
hands ia company -or before servants
by their riven names. . .
In speaking of her husband, a wom
an never makna a fcistake if she oalls
him "Mr,!', or ?"my husband." It it
sometimes difficult to decide, when the
husband has a title just What the wife
should do with it This is the severest
rule: .Ia speaking of her husband she
should not say "'Gen. A.," or "Dr. B."
but 'MrtA.,; "'Mr. B,"J No matter
what he kj-tjudge, governor, captain
to her he is and ihould be plain '. Mr.
A.' Mrs. Grant never, 'even when her
husband was 'president spoke ef him as
other than Mr, Grant i though It U the
custom of fhe president's wife to speak
of him at "the president '
The one exception to. thia rule. of Ig
noring her husband's official or profes
sional titles,. is when tbe wire presents
him to any one' -elset -Then she says,
"my husband, Senator Smith," or aim
ply, "Dr. Jones." , Tha reason for this
is evident It gives the proper clue to -the
stranger, who would wish.ot course,
to address the , aw. acquaintance with
the proper title, ?v . ! ;
" Last of all, let any woman take heed
how she wears hes, husband's title and
allows herself to be spoken of as "Mrs.
Governor Jones," or "Mrs. Secretary
Smith.' No matter what title U-r hus
band bas,she,bss no vr'j':1" T"""
