 SAINT VALENTINE.
BY ROSS DRFoRRIs.

At the short close of winter days We sat before the chimney blaze, And whiled in customary ways
 The evening long, A game of chess, a wicked tale Of sinful sports performed at Yale, or bade defiance to the gale
 With cheering song. Full fair to view, this cousin mine, With waving hair of summer shine, And scarlet lips that many a time
 longed to kiss. But, though sweet Nellie was no prude, Her modesty as guardian stood To brave the spell of action rude
 Or thought amiss. one stormy February night. While sitting in the cheery light, I read of deeds done for the right
 In olden time, By gallant knight. who risked his life For kiss of maid, or love of wife With Pagan foe in deadly strife
 In eastern cline. some subtle spell was in the air; My senses were-I know not where, And bending closer till the fair
 Eyes looked in mine, Yet not without some slight restrainC, Dear Nellie, will you be my saint,
 Saint Valentine|' still lower bent the dropping head, But o'er the piquant features sped happy smile, wherein read
 fond consent. And for that acquiescent sign, For favoring charm, and aid benign I thanked the good Saint Valentine
 In dear content

 To love sick swain. Two kids condemn our action rash, And must rustic" for their hash, While nursery dxings sell for cash,
 say with pain. I smoke my meerschaum pipe no more. Sweet meerschaum pipe! Dear hours of yore!, And if chance to slam the door,
 My Nellie speaks: Now, Ross, dear, can't you make less noisei If not, you'll surely wake the boys, And both the darling little joys
 Are sound asleep" Q roseate dreams of youthful hearts, With Cupid in the leading parts, The God of Love, whose piercing darts
 The poets laud. Hymen, with your cords divine, That bind two loving souls for time. And, driveling old Saint Valentine,
 You're all a fraud.

"What Drug Will Scour These English
 Hence1'
 Wicked Macbeth, who murdered good King Duncan, asked this ques- tion in his despair. Thousands of victims of disease are daily asking "What will SCOUT the impurities from my blood and bring me health?" Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will do 1t. When the purple life tide is sluggish, causing drowsiness, head ache and loss of appetite, use this wonderful vitalizer, which never fails. It forces the liver into perfect action, drives out superfous bile, brings the glow of health to the cheek and the natural sparkle to the eye. All drug gists.

which the United States court ct Fort Smith has jurisdiction. But & great many papers printed the news of this wholesale hanging in way to leave the impression that these seven male- factors were citizens of Arkansas. Now, while it is a matter to be proud of that murderers in that state cheat the gallows less frequently than in any state in the Union, 1t Is matter to be lamented that the public should have been misled into imagining that there were as many as seven Arkansas murderers hanged at one fell swoop. Let not the sins of the Indian Terri tory be laid on Arkansas.

The Japanese skin.

The japanese skin, like the Creole skin,
is cool and dry TO the touch in hot weather,
and except for the jinrickisha coolies,
whose hard running keeps them drenched
with perspiration, they never seem to
feel the heat of summer. Their dispensing
with clothes seems to be altogether a
matter Of taste and convenience, indie
pendent of the season, as in frosty weather
coolies are quite as scantily clad while at
work, and always quite Indifferent
to the weather. The babies. whose little
shaved heads bob around helplessly in the
blaze Of a midsummer sun that would
overcome an Irish hod carrier. bob those
same little bare skulls in the froStiest

A CLOSE THRUST.
How Bright YounGster Embarrassed .
Charity Worker.


Charity Worker.
A certain charitable mission enterprise,
connected with an important church,
says the Boston Transcript, is presided
Over bv the young assistant minister OF
the church who IS much admired for his
personal graCes as we'll as for his piety
and zeal in good work. He has been as
sist ed in the work of instructing, elevat-
ing and amusing the boys who resor' to
the mission by Some good ladies OF the
parish, and partcul arly by young wom-
an whose benevolent interest in the mis-
sion work has been supposed to include
the Clergyman at its head. She had been
interchangeable in her endeavors to teach
and entertain the boys, and often adj
dresses them in little speeches.
The other Sunday this young lady was
speaking to the boys in the presence OF
the Clergyman. She had exhorted them
to be good and studiOus, TO avoid bad
company, profanity and other demoraliz-
irc thirgs. and closed her little exhorta-
ton with these words:
~ want you to be good boys, and do all
these things that have asked you to, be-
cause love you all"
II know who you love mostw a small
boy in the front row called out
"Well, who is it, Johnny" asked the
lady No doubt she expected some accu-
sation of Partially among the boys, which
she would have been gia1 of an opport U.
nitv to deny.
The boy pointed his small, grimy finger
at the young clergyman.
"Him!" he shouted.
The young lady's interest In charitable
work is said to have declined visibly for
some little time.
