    DEEP IN THE WOODS
Doqn in the heart of the silent woods,
Stilled to the stillness of thought.
Under the calm of the tranquil skies
life's best lesson is taught.
What is the foolish strife of man?
What is his striving worth?
When the purest rapture of liviug is
found
In the beauty and peace of earth?
Sweet is the balm of the restful woods,
Truthful the teaching, and wise;
Joy lives out in the open world,
Under the open skies.
Evil and sin in the crowded ways
Kind a!wrys the surest birth,
And it's far from the town that the soul
must seek
The beauty and peace of earth.
—Ripley 1). Saunders, in St. Louis
Republic.
ILOYE CONQUERED. I
Alice Ellingliam was indubitably a
pretty girl. Not pretty with the un
meaning prettlness of glossy curls, sea
blue eyes and straight, Greek features,
but with the beauty of soul and mind,
and rich womanly temperament—and
at 17 Alice had promised her
self in merrlage to Oscar Wayne.
"My dear, you might have done bet
ter, I think," said Mrs. Ellingliam, a
portly matron, who had herself been
a beauty in her day, and was, in every
meaning of the word, a woman of the
world.
"llow, mamma?" said Alice, simply.
"For you know I love him."
"Love," said Mrs. Ellingliam, half
scornfully. "That's a word that will
do very well for poets and romancers.
I don't believe In it myself. I didn't
marry for love!"
"No, mamma," said Alice, mischiev
ously, "you married for money; and
when poor papa speculated in those
horrid Western lands you lost it all,
and were compelled to drag out tha
rest of your married life without either
•.ove or money to console you. I have
ueard you tell the story many a time."
Mrs. Ellingliam bit her lip and tanned
herself violently.
"That was because Mr. Ellingliam
was too much of a fanatic to take my
advice about the investments," she
said, tartly. "But it has nothing to do
with the matter at present under dis
cussion. You have engaged yourself
to Oscar Wayne, who calls himself an
artist. An artist, indeed—he ha 1
better say a genteel beggar. For what
are artists nowadays but starvelings?
And he has gone out to the Territories
to sketch scenery for pictures that no
one will buy after they are painted—
and here, in his absence, comes Mr.
Fen wick Fontaine, the richest catch of
the season, and lays his hand and his
heart at your feet. Why, Alice, you are
the luckiest girl I ever saw."
"Of course his hand and his heart
can be nothing to me," said Alice, look
ing down at the plain gold engagement
ring that shone on the forefinger of
fcer left hand. "For I love Oscar."
Mrs. Ellingliam lay back among her
cushions with a deep and ostentatious
sigh.
"Alas Alice!" she uttered, plain
tively, "I did not suppose you could be
so selfish."
"Selfish, mamma!"
"Don't you see that you are blight
ing my future as well as your own?
Don't you know that I have always
looked forward to my daughter's mar
riage as a means of establishing mys< If
in the ease and luxury which are
almost a necessity to my declining
years?"
"Dear mamma," pleaded Alice, with
« troubled light in her sapphire-blue
«yes and color coming and going
faintly on her cheek, "that is easily
settled. Your home must be with
Oscar and me."
Mrs. Ellingliam loftily shook her
bead.
"On a crust a day and a third floor
in some wretched tenement-house,"
enunciated she. "Never!"
"Yes, but mamma "
Mrs. Ellingliam lifted her smooth,
white hand as if to ward off Alice's
words.
"My dear, we will not discuss the
subject, If you please. I am quite
willing to allow you time to reflect up
on this momentous question. I have
told Mr. Fontaine that you will give
him an answer at the end of the week.
Until then pray allow my tired brain
and overworked nerves to rest."
And Alice went away to her own
room, secretly avowing constancy to
tier absent lover.
"Dear Oscar," she murmured, softly
kissing the engagement ring which his
liand had placed upon her finger; "as
if 1 could ever be untrue to you. Not
all the gold In the world could tempt
tne."
Hut when the evening mall came In
mid brought no letter from Oscar.
Alice did feel a little lonely and be
wildered.
"It will surelv come to-morrow,"
She said to herself.
lint the morrow arrived, and
Lrouuht no letter.
"It's very strange," said Alice, with
tears In her eyes, "lie never fulled
before."
"No more than I t xj.ected, my dear."
said Mrs. Ellingliam. "1 shouldn't
be ut all surprised if he lmd falh n
In love with some young woman < ut
then* and settled down for life. I'm
told art is better appreciated in th
went than It Is here,"
Alice bit her Up—but she d d not
speak Hu«-b bitter words were bet
ter left unanswered.
.Mr. Fontaine came at about noon
to take tile ladles out driving. Alice's
first Impulse was to decline, but ► !»»
remembered that her mother was
fond of carriage excreta •, aud had
very few opportunities to indulge that
liking—and she sakl "Yes."
"I'll drive out to Fontaine Abbey,"
said the rich and confident suitor.
"My gardener sends In word that the
white grapes are ripe, and there are
some very fine tropical flowers in
blossom in the conservatory. And I
thought Mrs. Ellingliam might per
haps honor me by by partaking of a
little lunch after the drive."
Fontaine Abbey was a fine old place,
built in the style of a stately medieval
castle, with grounds that sloped to a
serene, silver river, acres of conserva
tories, a picture gallery and a nob'.e
entrance hall, where knights in armor
kept mailed guard. The carpets
were Persian—the tables of Florentine
mosaic—the lunch table a marvel of
Serves china, gold plate and import
ed luxuries.
Mr. Fontaine played the accom
plished host to perfection—and Mis.
Ellingham's eyes sparkled ut the
effect which all this luxury and re
finement were evident!/ producing
upon the susceptible nature of her
daughter.
"Oli,!" she sighed, scarcely audible,
when Mr. Fontaine had left them for
a moment, "what bliss it would lie to
end my days in a place like Fontaine
Abbey!"
Alice said nothing, but there was a
far-off, absent look in her eyes, a
strained, set compression to her lips.
"Well, why not?" she asked herself.
"Since Oscar lias forgotten me—why
not V"
The week rolled to its close, still
without any token or sign that her
far-off lover remembered her very ex
istence—and when Fenwick Fontaine
proposed formally to her, Alice Elling
liam answered "Yes."
"My darling! my own noble-natured
child," said Mrs. Ellingliam, folding
Alice close to her heart, and never
noticing how pale and cold her lips
were, how listless the droop of her
head.
"I have sacrificed myself!" Alice
kept repeating to herself, "but how ;
shall I ever endure the life that lies
before me?"
For three days she lived through
the new existence—a pale, passive
statue—at their close she took off the j
great diamond solitaire, clear and j
limpid as a monster drop of dew, j
that her new financee had placed on
her finger and gave it back to him.
"I cannot marry you!" she said, "I
cannot belle my own nature; 1 would
rather live in a garret, and die an old
maid than marry you while my heart
is all another's."
So the brilliant engagement, which
had already become the talk of the
town, was broken off. and Mrs. Ell
ingliam, deeply offended, vowed that
Alice might turn seamstress, school
teacher or salesgirl, for all of her.
"I wash my hands of you, ungrate
ful, undutiful girl!" she cried,
through torrents of angry tears.
"Mamma. I love Oscar," was all that
Alice would answer.
She was sitting alone in the twilight
that evening, crying a little by whiles,
but yet happier, far, than when she
was the beihrothed bride of the
millionaire, when a footstep sounded
on the threshold, and, turning, she
beheld —Oscar Wayne!
"Oscar!" she cried out. hysterically,
••oh. Oscar, my darling, 1 thought you
had forgotten me!"
"I meant to give you a surprise, j
Alice," lie said, ga.vly. "For I have
come home for good. Listen, dearest,
it's like a fairy tale. I have made no
sketches at all. My time has been en
tirely occupied in nursing a poor. In
firm old man. who was my fellow- j
passenger across the plains, and died,
with his head on my arm, half way be
tween two cities. And, Alice, that
lonely, unfrienly old man proved to
i»e immensely rich, and took the
strange fancy to leave me all his
wealth. I need paint no more pic
tures now, except for my own gratifi
cation. We can lie married at once,
dear, thanks to old Malcolm Mur
doch."
And then Alice told liini all—how
nearly she had yielded to the terrible
temptation of Mammon and the
world —how she had been true to her
self and him at the last.
The next week, when financial cir
cles were ringing with the failure and
decampment of Fenwick Fontaine,
the millionaire, Mrs. EUlngham was
forced to confess that Alice's simple
heart wisdom was superior to her
own worldly policy. She was quite
satisfied—she had a rich son-in-law.

wanted.—New York News.

Ico should make it their business to
get well." said Dr. John Tuscher of
Albuquerque, to a Washington news
paper man. "They should have enough
money to keep them from worrying.
They should go there for the rest and
not for sightseeing. Above all else,
they should disabuse their minds of
tlie idea that they will get well In a
month, or three months, or six months.
It takes a great ileal longer than that.
They should be free from bother. This
they cannot be if they are looking for
employment. There are twenty appli

Then, again, sh-k people do not want
to work. They should be free to use
reserve strength in casting off the dis
ease. New Mexico w ill lie the great

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
A Preparation for Cleaning Cutlery.
For cleaning cutlery use ashes 11111 tie
from pine wood and sift through a fine
sieve; rub gently with soft woolen
cloth and use castile soap; rinse in
worm water and dry with soft linen
cloth. For fine cutlery that is not
used often this preparation has been
found to be good: Take a piece of
leaf fat from the pork; render and
strain through a flannel cloth; use no
salt, as it will rust; will keep best in
a glass jar. Put a small portion of this
011 a flannel cloth about six inches
square; rub the blades and wrap care
fully in tissue or waxed paper separ
ately.
Decorations and Garniflliincß.
Even slender purses can afford the
luxury of a few flowers for the table
in the season of flowers, and no table
should be without them. They are so
restful, so gratefully inspiriting when
one is fagged, hot or tired by general
weather conditions. A flowering plant
may be substituted for cut flowers
acceptably, but whether a plant or
flowers be used, only those without
heavy odors should be chosen. It is
wonderful how pretty and tasteful a
table may be made with the plainest
table-service if the cloth is well laun
dered, each article arranged with care
and order, and there Is added the
transforming touch of a bunch of
bloom. Even a knot of field-daisies
sets a seal of refinement upon a table
which is not to be disputed. In sum
mer it costs but a trifle to add pretty
garnishlngs to various dishes, and cer
tainly such touches add to their act
ual enjoyment.—Woman's Home Com
panion.
To Take Spots Out of Papor.
Sometimes it happens that you get a
grease spot on a letter or the page of a
valuable book and you are at once
filled with a sense of the hopelessness
of ever removing the ugly and irritat
ing blemish. Here is a remedy for the
evil that lias been tried with success:
Heat an Iron and hold it as near as
possible to thestfcin withoutdisccl lring
the paper, when the grease or wax
will disappear. Upon any traces that
are left put 011 powdered calcined mag
nesia for a time. Bone, well calcined
and powdered. Is an excellent absorb
ent of grease; also plaster of paris.
For extracting spots of a resinous na
ture use cologne, turpentine or benzine.
A beautiful bound book and quite new
had oil from a lamp spilled over it.
The culprit called for quicklime, but
there was none to be had, so he got
some bones, which he quickly calcined
and pulverized and applied. The next
morning there was no trace of oil, but
only an odor, which soon vanished.
The chilli'* Room.
A mother is fortunate If she catk
empty the room which she is to ic
furnish. for the results are infinitely
more satisfactory to begin at the be
ginning. If she is to have a new paper
she must study the location of the
room. For a north room a warm color
—rose, yellow, or even crimson—while
If the room face the south she may
choose a floral pattern 011 a whit -
ground, or some pretty shade of plain
color —cream, pale green, or pink. Blue
is seldom successful. It is distinctly a
cold color, and in winter, or on a gray
day, makes the room gloomy. A b»y
usually prefers a simpler paper as less
"fussy" than one that has a pattern,
while a girl's heart is delighted with
something that is at once gay and ar
tistic, such as American Beauty roses,
or poppies 011 a white ground.
The ventilation of the room should
be perfect, and the child trained t>
sleep in air that is quite cold. The
curtains which adorn the windows,
therefore, should not hinder the free
current, but should lie of the lightt st
kind. Muslin, stout enough to launder
well, are the most satisfactory.

Horse Take* a Boer Prisoner.
During one of the outpost skirmishes
between the Englishmen and the Boors
one of the latter had his horse shot
under him, says a correspondent of
the Washington Post.
Seeing a British cavalry horse with
out a rider, he captured it, and was
riding away, when a bugler caught
eight of him, and, putting his bugle
to his lips, blew a shrill blast.
The horse wheeled sharply around,
and, despite the strenuous efforts of
his rider, galloped madly back to the
British lines, while the Boer, unwilling
to lose his prize, held on too long and
was taken prisoner.
ltoers Not Led by Foreign Officers.
There is a mistaken notion abroad
that the operations of the Boers have
been directed by European and Amer
ican officers. This widely circulated
statement contains scarcely a scintilla
of truth. A few European officers and
one American (Colonel Blake) are here.
They may be men of ability for all
I know, and competent to give the
Boers excellent advice. Other foreign
officers would volunteer if they could
get commissions in the republican
army. The talent can easily be se
cured. But how devise a scheme to
apply It? The Boers will not obey
their own officers, much less foreign
ers.—Thomas F. Millard, in Seribner's
