! ly the pretty Trixie was secured and
brought back to her anxious mistress
who with outstrctched arms received
her pet.
"My dearest, darling babyi Man,

you, sir, enough? Oh; was SO fright

But you see 1 haven't any children and
1 must pet something. I've had Trixie
ever since she was six weeks old, and
she's never slept away from me one
night. My little brother Bobby left the
door open this afternoon and out she
slipped. Oh, / was so frightened! 1
didn't know what l was doing. How
can l ever thank you?" And with a
parting smile she turned and went in
doors.

Two gentlemen were smoking near

Gallery Gossip.

Says the Washington Republican:
There is no place like the house gal
leries for gossip, especially on the open
ing day of the session. The Republican
had phonograph in the reporters gal
lery recently, and secured a section OF
this frothy gossip, which twill grind out
for the benefit of its readers.
''Hello, there's Sammy Cox bringing
his man up to be sworn in," remarked
a fat correspondent, leaning over the
railing to get view of the floor. '.Now,
that fellow Cox keeps up his bright
looks remarkably WE'LL"
s'When first came here" chimed in
the owner of huge plug hat, proctor
Knott's mustache was black. Now it
has turned quite gray. He does not ap-
pear to be the same man.
''The life was taken out of him when
Blaine sat down on him." said third.
.'Why, there was nothing in that to
hurt man." observed a newcomer.
81 have heard that if his wife says
Blaine at night he hides his head
under blanket.''
There is old Stephens down there"
said another voice. s'He's looking live
ly."
''StepAens has not the look of a man
of great intelligence" said the fat cor
respondent. sHe has well-cut features,
and that's about all. believe he is one
of the strongest national or union men
in the country. He did not really be-
lieve in secession. The government
owes him much; for, had it not been for
him, believe that some foreign states
would have jumped in and helped the
confederacy."
''Does he come to the capitol in that
wheelchairp'' asked the man with the
plug hat.
''No. He keeps that one here and has
another at his hotel. His colored man,
Aleck, who stays just outside the door,
carries him back and forth from the
carriage"
''There comes Mrs. Hayes called
out the fat correspondent, and the at
tention of all was directed to the private
gallery which Mrs. Hayes had just enter

Mrs. Polk.

Colonel Mcclure, of the Philadelphia
Times, who recently called upon the
widow of ex-President Polk at Nash
vile. thus speaks of the venerable lady:
..Although the storms of four-score
years have fallen upon her, she is yet
cheerful as lass of twenty, and her
smile is as natural and as free as it
could have been when it was lavished
upon the generation that is now forgot
ten. The brown curls of her youth are
yet.faultlessly initiated on her finely-cast
forehead, and her turban crown of
black with the widows silver lining
gives her the appearance of genial
and well-preserved dame of sixty sum-
mers. Her step is firm; her eyes are
scarcely dimmed by the long lapse of
more than patriarchal years, and her
memory is unabated. She does not toler-
ate in u conventional way the many tres
passers upon her time, but she greets all
with queenly dignity, and yet with that
generous welcome that makes every
visitor mark his visit as one of the fade
less memories of life. She is glad to
have the stranger even as her guest, and
she talks of both the past and the pres
ent with degree of interest, intelli-
gence, and freedom from the common
Weaknesses of age, which charm every
class of listeners"

A Great Invention.

Aman living near Bloomfield, N. j.,
has contrived an arrangement, says the
New York Sun, by the use of which he
is enabled to get an hour or more of
extra sleep in the morning, and in 9th
er ways he finds it of great benefit. In
many ways it takes the place of do
nestle servant. The gentleman has
thought out and put into practical
working an idea that occurred to him
about year ago. He is awakened in
the morning by shrill whistle. He at
once gets out of bed, for he knows what
that whistle means. 1t tells him that
all is ready for him to get breakfast.
He dresses and goes into the kitchen,
and there he finds bright, fresh fire,
teakettle full of boiling water, and
other conveniences for preparing his
morning meal. All this is accomplished
by means of an alarm clock with
weights, a piece of wire, a sheet of
sand-paper, and some matches. Paper,
wood and coal are put into the CRATE of
his cooking stove, and teakettle filled
with water, and having tiny whistle
fitted into the nozzle of the kettle, is
placed on the stove. BY setting the
alarm in the clock he can have fire at
any time he wishes. When the alarm
in the clock goes off, weight falls and
hits the wire; the wire moves and
scrapes the matches fastened to it on
the sandpaper; the matches light the
paper in the stove, the paper lights the
wood and coal, and soon fire is under
way. In a little while the water in the
teakettle boils, and then the tiny whis-
tie gives the note of warning that every
thing is ready and it is time to get up.
''Simple thing, and yet what COM
fort it isl the inventor says. ''There
is no getting up for me now an hour be-
fore breakfast, losing that amount of
sleep, and then waiting around for
breakfast. The arrangement costs next
to nothing, and it is as trustworthy as
anything in this world. 1 have not had
it patented yet. Some persons advise
me to, and perhaps may. haven't
any for sale; got it up entirely for my
own comfort and convenience, and it
has more than repaid me already. But
just think, if it were in general use it
would save many hard words and do
away with considerable domestic un-
happiness among poor people. Doubt
less it might have a tendency to make
better feeling between some men and
their wives, by settling the vexing
question as to who should get up in the
morning and build the fire. Out of this
question alone many divorce suits grow.
and this arrangement would prevent
themr

This WORLD,


This world is a sad. sad place. I know
And what soul living can doubtit2
Bur it Will not lessen the want and woe
To be always signing about it,
Then away with songs that are full of tears,
Away with dirges that sadden;
Let us make the most of our flesting years,
BY singing the lays that gladden..
few sweet potions of bliss I've quafred,
And many a cup OF sorrow;
But IN thinking of the favored dfaught,
The old-time joy borrow.
And in brooding over the bitter drink.
Pain fills again the measure;
And so have learned tits better to think
OF the things that give Us pleasure.
The world at its saddest is not all sad;
There are days of sunny weather;
And the people within it are not all bad,
But saints and sinners together.
1 think those wonderful hours of June
Are better by far to remember,
Than those when the earth is out of tune
In the cold bleak winds of November.
Because we meet in the walks of life
Many a selfish creature,
1t doesn't prove that this world Of strife
Has no redeeming feature.
There is bloom of beauty upon the earth;
There are bonds and blossoming flowers;
There are souls of truth and hearts of worth;
There are golden glowing hours.
In thinking over joy we've known
We easily make it double;
Which is better by far than to NOPE and moan
Ger sorrow and grief and trouble,
For though this world is sad we know
And who that is living can doubt it?
1t will not lessen the want and woe
To be always signing about it.

S
Santa Fe

Santa Fe
Mrs. Lew Wallace, in the Atlantic.
used to think Fernandina was the
sleepiest place in the world, but that
was before had seen Santa Fe. The
drowsy old town, lying in a sandy val
ley inclosed on three sides by mountain
walls, is built of adobes laid in one
story houses and resembles an extensive
brickyard, with scattered, sunburnt
kilns ready for the fire. The approach
in midwinter, when snow, deep on the
mountains, rests in ragged patches on
the red soil of New Mexico, is to the
last degree disheartening to the travel
er entering the narrow streets which
appear mere lanes. Yet dirty and un-
kempt. swarming with hungry dogs, it
has the charm of foreign flavor, and,
like San Antonio, retains some portion
of the grace which long fingers about,
if, indeed, it ever forsakes, the spot
where Spain has held rule for centuries,
and the soft syllables of the Spanish
tongue are yet heard. 1t was a prime
val stronghold before the Spanish con-
quest, and town of some Importance
to the white race when Pennsylvania
was wilderness and the first Dutch
Governor was slowly drilling the Knick-
erbocker ancestry in the difficult evolu-
tion of marching round the town pump.
Once the Capital and center of the Pueb-
10 kingdom, and the archives of the
Territory. kept, or rather neglected, in
