pecially did your words of sympathy a
few weeks ago convince me that your
sOrrOw is sincere for the devastation and
ruin visited on many of us this year 10y

ers' friend ask you to spread the news
Of the growth OF the Farmers Alliance.
This is not expected to become pana-
cea for all our ills and complaints, but
if farmers will rally to it with
zeal and determination they will find
that surely "in union there Is strength, "
and that conformity we can rechfy many
OF the abuses of which We complain,
whilst individually We are powerless. The
alliance has reached the old free State Of
Buck.in-game. the first lodge being Or

that the order may spread oil over this
fine but isolated old county and do us
all good intellectually, socially, and Pc

dreaming bright dreams over token
of his favor. She could not, did not
blame him; oh, no but it was hard.
And then this blowl Did she look that
TO others? Her friends had been very
kind, and tried to keep her from realiz-
ing the truth.
Gently her mother strove to gain
possession of the hideous (so-called)
"comic" valentine; but the deformed
figure seemed to hold fascination for
the poor girl, and over and over she
read the silly, insulting inscription be-
meath
Gradually the first storm calmed,
and Percie at last folded the paper and
put it aside. II am so tired, she whis-
pered, as her mother bent over her.
"Try and sleep some, darling, while
mother gets supper.
"I'll try"
Even as she turned away, Mrs. Will
ton noted flush on the delicate cheek,
and her heart misgave her.
A little latt r messenger left box
of b. autiful flowers for Miss Percie,
and the mother knew the same hand
had sent it that had underscored the
lines one year before. With it she hur.
ried to her daughters side, hoping the
tardy remembrance might prove pan
acel for the wound of the afternoon.
"See, darling!"
But one glance at the feverish face
and wild eyes caused the mother to mt
ter an exclamation of dismay. "She is
in a raging fever and delirious; that
dreadful valentine has proven more
than she can bear. Oh, who could
have been so cruel as to have sent it y
Quickly Ben was dispatched for aid.
"Brain fever, induced by some sud

Sweet little Percie! She was too
frail; she could not rally, and in less
than week she lay once moro in the
sunny front room with the flowers she
never noticed on her breast, while he
who had sent them knelt by the simple
casket and prayed Heaven to forgive
him for his tardiness.
potter Bros is not the only firm
that defiles its shelves, counters and
windows by displaying the vile, sense
less nuisance known as the "comic val
entine." Youthful taste is depraved
by coming in contact with them. They
are educators of evil, seeds of impu'
rity, and the man who hands one across
his counter and takes the boys penny
in return is not giving his customer
the value of his money.
In examining the stock of "Pottel
Bros" one thoughtless lad had re-
marked to another:
"Oh! see this bumped woman
Percie Wiltons gettin' to look like
that.
Lets send it," chimed the other
"She won't know who did it."
The sequel has already been given
The results of scattering these evi
seeds may not always prove as serious
to the recipient as in this case, but they
hurt at best, and the sender has per
formed an act the thought of whicl
must forever be detestable memory.
