Il Yerse.

The poets Gay, Chaucer and Shakespeare
wrote a deal of st. Valentine, as also did
Dome, an almost unknown poet of the time.
One of the sweetest bits of verse penned by
Dome was On the marriage, Feb. IA, 1914, Of
Princess Elizabeth to Frederick, Count. Pala-
tine of the Rhine. Thus the address begins:
Hail, Bishop valentinel whose day this is;
All the air Is thy diocese .
And oil the chirping choristers
And other birds are thy parishioneis;
Thou marryest every year
The lyric lark and the grave whispering dove;
The sparrow that neglects his life for love,
The household bird with the red stomacher;
Thou mak'st the blackbird speed as soon
Az doth the goldhnch or the halcyon;
This day more peacefully than ever shine,
This day which might infame thysef, old Valen.

Gambling and Burgling.

Gambling and burgling always occupy a
good deal of public attention during the
course Of a year. There is not a very obvi-
GUS connection between the two, yet the
subtle moralist may find an association.
Both are pursuits of men who ought to be
otherwise aud more proftably engaged.
Both are the expressions of a desire to &C.
quire riches at one stroke-or, at the most,
two strokes-and to avoid the monotony of
continuous labor. And both are the results
of radical misconceptions on the part of the
individual practitioners.
Nobody ever gets rich by gambling; but it
is open to demonstration that, if the sam
amount of skill, Of cerebral energy, of mental
dexterity, and of acute perception, were ex-
pended in productive work of some kind as is
expended on games Of chance, the rewards
would be substantial and certain. Again, the
burglar who BURGERS on a large scale is play
ing against fearful odds, and is certain to
come to grief sooner or later; while, if he
BURGERS on a small scale, he can but snatch a
precarious and Insignificant pittance, con-
siderably below what he might easily earn by
legitimate industry in lawful hours.
There is, perhaps, a charm of excitement in
burglary which fascinates the professional
outlaw, even as the excitement of the turf or
of cards enthralls the professional gamester.
But to take a plain, practical view of both
pursuits, and one apart altogether from the
ethics of the matter, is to lead one to the con-
clusion that neither game is worth the candle.
The law, Of course, takes other views of
both. The burglar INDUCES in his exciting
career at the expense of the community, IN
injuries everybody, including himself. The
gambler INDUCES in his habitual excitement
without ~injuring directly anybody but him.
self and those dependent on him, who, from a
social point of view, may be regarded al
part of himself. The burglar, therefore, is
objective in his existence; the gambler, sub
jective. To put it otherwise, the burglar is a
common enemy, and the gambler nobody's
enemy but his own
The great fact which the community has
to consider, and the law to provide for, is
that the burglar is one who is in permanent
rebellion against society, and is, by the very
nature Of his employment, both degraded and
desperate. All the Year Round.

near enough to remind those who have
beer bold enough to get a long ways from
home, In an attempt to throw the spear
into their enemies, that it is about time to
get back in the vicinity of their cyclone
cellars. Some statisticians have been look
ing up facts. They say that the officials
OF the state have been advertising
the poverty OF North Dakota by
the publication of long columns of
figures; they have decided that the legisla-
ture could not draw per diem during the
holiday recess and have given numerous
lectures on economy to the law making
body; they have refused listen to q prOpO-
sltion to erect a home for the states deaf
mutes at q nominal cost, and yet they have
presented dunning letters from South
Dakota for the care of our un%fortunates;
ing on the fat Of the land' while the farm
ers according to the official statements are
hating between the poor house and the
cemetery, and yet these same officials have
raised no objections to the bills increasing
their appropriations for clerk hire and
treasury. This is what the gentlemen who
have been studying the question from a
legislative point of view now say and
they further find that North Dakota is paw
ing more liberal salaries to the state
officers than thirty of the states.
The row has evidently just begun. The
recent retreat of the legislative lines before
the vocal and telegraphic batteries Of the
state officers was simply a means of bury
ing the dead, and now that the slaughtered
bill has been laid quietly away, they re.
turn to finish the battle on the old lines.
The grand charge is yet to come and the
warriors are in proper spirit for an exciting
dash. The knife of economy will be applied
to the political parasites and the state will
evidently be given some serious and ma.
terial retrenchment,

A Difference without Distinction,

Chicago Evening Journal: There is a
tremendous hue and cry against establish
ing a state lottery in North Dakota. An
impartial observer would like to know
what difference can be found in principle
between state control Of a lottery in
Dakota and municipal protection of gam
bling dens in Chicago. The infamy is
rather holder and more %corruptlng which
makes the protection of gambling a
distinct plank in the democratic platform
of this CITY.

Mice Liberated by Rats.

A citizen of Greensboro, Ga, who was in
the habit of setting a trap in his dining room
to catch rats, hearing a queer noise there a
few nights ago, went down to investigate.
He reports the state Of things thus: "About
a dozen small mice had been caught in the
trap. This was surrounded by four or five
big rats, which had dragged it to one corner
and were holding a consultation. As I looked
in, alarmed by the light, they hurried their
preparations to a close. One of the big fell
lows seized the door Of the trap between his
teeth; another rat seized him by the tail, an
other and another quickly took hold; a sud-
den pull was given. and quicker than I can
relate the door flew back, the mice scampered
out, and before I could walk across the room
old rats, young rats, old mice and young mice
had disappeared, leaving the trap in the cor
iner, with the door shut and every vestige of
the bait gone. n-Exchange.
