OPEN THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART

Open the door of your heart, my lad,
To the angels of love and truth;
When the world is full of unnumbered
joys,
In the beautiful dawn of youth.
Casting aside all things that mar,
Saying to wrong, Depart"
To the voices of hope that are call
ing you
Open the door of your heart
Open the door of your heart, my lass
To the things that shall abide,
To the holy thoughts that lift your
soul
Like the stars at eventide.-
All of the fadeless flowers that bloom
In the realms of song and art
Are yours if you'll only give them
room,
Open the door of your heart.
Open the door of your heart, my
friend,
Needless of class or creed,
When you hear the cry of a brothers
voice,
The sob of child in need.
To the shining heaven that DER YOU
bends
You need no map or chart,
But only the love the Master gave.

AMERICAN HEIREss FAMINE.
lmpecunious Peers Languish
Yankee Girls With Money.

Henry Labouchre says there is an
American heiress famine in England
and that it has come at the most I'M
fortunate moment that could be
imagined THE radical govern
ment," he adds, Twill refuse to give
appointments to tory favorites, and
to transfer money from the pockets
of the taxpayers to those of the in
competent well-connected. The situ-
alton has never before occurred in
our history
Almost every impecunious eye in
the west end had turned toward the
United States. At this moment it is
heard that either the stock of Amer
lean heiresses is nearly exhausted, or
that many of them are disinclined to
purchase husbands in the European
markets! 1t is, indeed, limited that
many of them have adopted the i'm
perial idea,' and now pretend that an
American man is to be preferred to
a European physical and financial
wreck that has inherited a title An
heiress, an heiress, my kingdom for
an heiress!A is a misquoted passage
that is on a thousand lips
1T has recently become the practice
in England for the government to sell
titles for the benefit of the funds OF
the party, and there can be little OBJ
pection, therefore, to the principle be-
ing extended little further It
should be rendered legal for an inn
pecunious peer or baronet to sell his
title-for life. at least-with the con
sent of the courts. That would, more
over, benefit his creditors"

House Cleaning Dead Art

Writing about housekeeping time
in the Housekeeper for April, Mary
Taylor-Ross declares that the article
might well be headed, "The Passing
of House Cleaning" as modern
methods are doing away with a Gus
tom which was at once the despair
and dread of the entire family. Wo-
men no longer do certain thing in
a certain manner because their
mothers and grandmothers were wont
to do 1t in the same way, but, with
great good sense, are constantly IN
the lookout for easier ways of per
forming such cleaning as must be
done. Then, too, the new era in
house furnishing has done its import
ant part in abolishing old-time
methods; carpets have been done
away with to large extent, and even
in such homes as still cling to the
covered floors. the lifting and clean
ing OF the carpet is no longer 50 strenl
uous task. The carpet Is lifted: a
man comes and carries it far away
from the house, and when 1t is brough
back to be relaid it is thoroughly
cleaned, freed from dust and microbes.
and is easily kept clean for some
months.

the midst of the wigwam boiled a
cauldron, in which were herbs and
roots. The old man was so intently
watching this, that he did not hear
the young Ottawa at the door, for he
kept muttering strange words to him.
self, like the incantations of a great
medicine man. AS the hunter was
weary and foot-sore, he entered I'M
hidden, feeling that this was another
of the mysterious lodges that seemed
to be provided for his entertainment
on this adventure. The old man
showed real displeasure, and asked:
who gave you permission to come
in here, and interrupt me?" The
young man was embarrassed and
humb1y begged for pardon, and then
told of the pursuit of the wounded
swan, and all that had befaIlen him by
the way. Looking about in the wig
wan the young hunter noticed that
it was all aglow with the same light
that he had been following for ten
days, and he asked the old man at
what hour the swan passed. He made
no answer, pretended to busy himself
with his cauldron, and was very rest
less and uneasy.
For all his grabbed manner, he al
lowed the hunter to stay in his wig
wan, divided with him his food and
provided the best mat for him to sleep
upon. But there was no beautiful
maiden to mend the gaps in his mecca
sins, nor to entertain him with pleas
ant conversation. So when he came
out in the morning, expecting to re-
sumo his journey, he felt i'll, his moe
casins did not protect his feet from
the sharp stones, and if he had not
been so near the end of his adventure
he would have stopped to rest and to
mend his raiment. He asked the old
man if he should quickly overtake his
prize. The old Indian still was silent,
but pulling aside the mat curtain at
the back of his wigwam, he led forth
Red Swan, his daughter, the most
beautiful maiden the hunter had ever
beheld.
"You have proven yourself worthy
of her; she is yours" he said. take
her to your own land and hunting
ground and be happy KLchi-Man-i-
tou will watch over YOU
Then the young hunter saw that
his bride possessed all the marks Of
beauty of the nine other maidens.

By this time they had turned, and

As they turned up the lane leading

standing at the gate of her fathers

and nodded to Cyril with blush and
smile.
Leola bowed graciously, and in do

up her horse.
"They are of no consequence" said
Cyril, carelessly. you will have a

And Polly Marsden, who had
watched this interlude, set her short
white teeth hard.
But all unconscious, Deola, her mas
ter-her servant as he called himself
rode on.
And now, as she thought of all this,
standing before her mirror, with the
rattle of the first carriage breaking on
her ears, Mary's voice startled her.
Won't you wear any more flowers,
Miss? You haven't got any in your
dress, and flowers do suit you so,
Miss. Here's white rose
Leola looked around to where her
habit was thrown across the chair
for Mary had been far too busy to

And taking them from Mary's hand,
she herself fixed them In the bosom of

1t was pity that Cyril Kingsley
could not have seen the delicate color
that suffused her lovely face as she
touched the flowers so gently and
tenderly.
1t might have cheered him as he
strobe up and down his room at the
farm, in one of his 'black fits," as
Mrs. Tibeptt called them.
