TAME WILD ANIMALS,
Down in Maine Deer Sometimes Become
Quito NeighborIy.


Quito Ne;ghborIy.
Some of the people who live on the
edge of the Maine woods have been
hetwixt the devil and the deep sea-"
us the phrase is, with the game law on
one side of them and TIE dispositi
of the protected animals to be neigh
borly on the other. Said woman in
the Piscataquis backwoods:
"a deer can be tanned as easily as ary
other animal, and sometimes thcy are
bound to be tanned whether you want
them or not. A few years ago young
deer came out with our cattle and
grazed round with them and came up
to the barnyard at night. lie didn't
seem bit frightened, and 1 gave 1t
some milk. 1t drank readily, and next
day wanted some more. l could pat it
and fondle it as well as could cossct
lamb. 1t stayed around with our cattle
for several weeks, when one day game
warden came and said / was liable t.
n penalty for keeping the deer and
feeding it. Then l tried to drive II
away. and the way he would come up
III spIpS VI my lHItutS anu uItSu1pt'
TO scare it, and coax for milk was pitiful
to see. l had the hardest work to
make him go away, and for long time
he'd keep coming back to our place"
A similar case occurred in Portland
last summer, where seal came to a
fisherman's boat and followed 1t for
number of days and wouldn't drive
off.
These instances of tame wild ami
mails remind Maine gentleman of what
he saw in Mayfield few years ago. He
was driving through that town, and
at place where he stopped his hostess,
a handsome young woman, asked him
il he wanted to see deer. Taking II
dish with some grain in it, or some
thing of that sort, she went down the
lane to the edge of the woods and
stopped, calling in low tone some
name. Presently q fine large buck
came out of the woods and trotted up
10 her as tame as any colt could be.
He stuck his nose in the dish and
munched the food, while she patted
his neck and talked to him. When
she left him to come back to the house
he followed her to the fence and seemed
really anxious 10 go to the house, too.

HOME DECORATION.
How to Plan an Artistic and Yet Inex-
pensive Room.

pensive Room.
No woman ought to be her own
paper-hanger if she can possibly en-
ploy or beg somebody to do the work
for her. Running up and down the
stepladder, the reaching, the standing,
all are tiresome, more so to woman
than to n man, aud particularly in
furious to many women who are not
well, says Jenress Miller.
But If a woman must b, her own
paper-hanger or live in rags and dirt,
here is q way to secure cleanliness and
artistic effect that is within reach of
the amateur. Ordinary long-roll wall
paper, when hung by an inexperienced
hand, looks like impatience on flag
staff making faces at misery.
Listen. Don't buy long-roll wall
paper. Ask your butcher where he buys
his coarse, brownish wrapping paper
that he rolls the meat in before he puts
on the smooth, light manila paper.
Get one of the youngsters in simple
mathematics at school TO estimate how
to cover the walls of the room that
needs papering, allowing each sheet to
overlap the one next it. The butcher
will buy The paper for you at wholesale
less than you can buy it for.
Get a supply of brass-headed tacl1s.
Tune your eyes W TO recognizing
straight lines when you see them, and
eschew the paste pot
Learn to drive tack with a few
ch llaxue 10
this after ten minutes practice out
in the shed with bit of soft board
fastened on the wall for a target, no
matter what man in his might says.
Then paper your walls. If you begin at
the top and lap the next lower row up
over the paper, each layerin time will col
lect tiny holdings Of dust. Therefore,
begin at the Dashboard. Put one row
all the way around the room and tack
the side seams only. The effect when
the room is all papered is amazingly
good. If the ceiling is bad, and you
can't afford to have it tinted, cover it
with fish or tennis net caught in the
center and carried away to the corners
and sides.
A jolly frieze for such q room as this
is made Of slender upright panels of
creamy card, bearing sprays of golden
rod painted by the artist of the family.
There are so many kinds of goldenrod;
no two panels need be alike. Instead of
making the fricze continuous, put
panel over each seam merely.
An attic room in n house that has
been decorated in this fashion, not for
economy's sake, but because the pro-
prietor of the apartment has pretty
fancy for novel things, has n yellow
mating on the floor, with green fig
ures scattered through it. The por-
there's are made OF sage green stuff and
the glass draperies under the heavy
draperies at the windows are made of
curious oriental-looking stuff, which is
nothing on earth but mosquito netting
dipped in yellow dye and wound in Il
twist about a small stick until dry,
leaving it mass of crinlily waves.

ne is wealthy
enough in any case; but what would
half of old Campbell's property be for
one brought up as she has been? | hear
the place is mortgaged heavily, and the
Old man lost by speculation before he
died; SO his niece is not the heircss we
fancied. Yes, it would be a very lucky
thing for her if Colin Delorme should
ask her to marry him, and have no
doubt she would jump at the chance"
Madam" said clear voice at the
woman's chair, which made her start
and glance hastily at the fair young
face above her--''madam, you honor
myself and my affairs too greatly"
Voice and face belonged to the girl
OF whom they had been speaking,
Honor Campbell, and as the gossip
staInmered forth some sort of apology,
she turned and glided from the room,
every pulse in her body quivering with
anger, wounded pride, and perhaps
far keener pain.
Why had she allowed herself to be
coaXed into appearing among the
guests of her cousin, to whom the old
man laid so recently in his grave was
nothing, while to her he had been dear
as Il father?
Why had she brought her mourning
robes and her mourning heart forth
from retirement, even when friends
pleaded with her to do so?
And they thought her poor enough
"to jump at the chance" of marrying
Colin Delorme, because he was to share
her uncle's possessions with her,and had
wealth of his own-Colin Delorme, with
his frank, handsome face and his CHEEKY
voice, and his heart of gold, which any
living woman might prize more than
the crown of king!
How heartless and material people
were, she told herself, as she went hur-
ridly out to the little garden, which
sloped down to a sheltered spot--a dell
often visited by her.
In the path, with it's checkered light,
she came face to face with the object
of her thoughts-Colin Delorme.
How pale your are, iIonor!" he said
to her, looking with eyes of tenderness
which she did not see into her young
face. "Are you ill?"
y
"Then let me tell you what I have
been thinking of. Honor, our uncle
divided all he had between us. Let us
make no division, dear-and let lis join
our lives and leave the old place as it
is. Do you think could make you
happy as my wife, Honor, my darling?
/ would try hard. think | could sue
ceed. viii you risk your life in my
hands? Honor, you are as white as
death. Have startled you? thought
you knew my heart this long time! l
know uncle did,"
Had he said such words to her but
the previous day-but an hour before
how gladly she would have put out
her hands to him and said:
"Yes, Colin, l know your heart, and
will trust my life in your hands. 1t
has known no love save that which you
have taught it, and ! am only happy
when you are near mel"
But the words of the gossip were
fresh in her memory. The humiliation
which they aroused still ragged hotly in
her breast.
With a low little laugh she turned
from him to gather up the long train
of her black dress, and her gray eyes
grew bitter.
"You are far too generous" she said,

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES
A Legal Nut TO Crack.

A decision having an important bearing
on the liquor prosecutions being brought
by the state law and order league was rem
dered Monday at Keene by Judge Holmes
in the convictions as common sellers of
Michael Monahan and Michael Murphy of
North Walpole. Sentences were imposed
of 500 fine and 30 days in Jail each, and
notices of appeal to the April term of the
supreme court were given, bail being fixed
and furnished in each instance in the sum
of $500.
The cases had been continued from a
week or more ago on account of knotty
point of law involved, namely, whether the
fact of the possession of a government Ii
cense should be taken as evidence of being
common seller of spirituous liquors.
The evidence of the possession of the IL
cense had been furnished by eX-Gov ID. Ii.
Goodell from his now famous red ink doc
ument, copied from the books of the col
lector of internal revenue at Portsmouth
A fine point of discrepancy between the
statute and the government enactment lay
| in the fact that at the time the state law
was passed United States licenses were re-
quired to be posted by their possessors,
whereas they are not now so posted. The
| legislative enactment uses the phrase
"The posting of the license" but Judg'
| Holmes, after careful elaboration, con
cluded that the intent of the law wa
undoubtedly possession of the license
and that the mere fact of its being pOsteC
was immaterial.
