Valentine Memories.

My kid struck me fora quarter before
left home this morning" said a Board
of Trade man as he was lunching with a
friend yesterday. He said he wanted it
to buy valentines with. Do You know
I'd almost forgotten all about valentines,
and when was youngster counted
the days from New Years until Feb. II.
Wonder if the kids do the same way as
we used to? | remember we used to call
'em comics and 'prettys.' The boys used
to spend most all their money for comics,
but they'd always hold out enough to
buy at least one pretty for their best
girl. This operation was always study,
and the verse was selected with more
than ordinary care. That 'rose-is-red.
and-violet-blue' gag used to be the favor
lite. My chum and used to buy gross
of comics In each gross there were
seventy-two duplicates, and we would
sort 'em out and divide EN-.
As soon as it was dark in the evening
we'd go out with sachel full of carefully
assorted comics and in some awful dis
guise had tin horns and 'tic-taes' for the
amusement of the neighbors. There was
always some man in the block that we
hated, and we'd chalk square on his
doorstep, ring the bell and then give him
the ha-ha from across the street when he
came out, tried to pick it up and then
swore. | don't believe the kids now
adays have as much fun as we did. We'd
make friends with some unpopular boy
by sending him with valentine to the
chalked mans door, and then lose his
friendship again when the man, who
had been laying for us, kicked him across
the street. Say, I'll match you for the
lunches Chicago Herald.

Of him that while riding along in Bun

'No, sab, can't errogate to myself de

"Well, what in the name of goodness
are you then?" reioined the Governor,
remembering the narrow range of choice
in religions among the North Carolina
negroes.
"WelI, de fac is, sab, my old master
was Herruld ofthe Cross in de Presby-
terian Church and was fotched up in

"What. You don't mean it? Why, that
is my church"
The negro making no comment on this
announcement, Governor Vance went at
him again:
And do you believe in all the Presby-
terian creed ?"
''Yes, sab, dat does

destination ?"

"Why, do you believe that if man is

that if he is elected to be damned he will
be damned ."
"Oh, yes, boss, believe dat. It's Cos
pei talk, dat is"
well, now, take my case. Do you be-
lieve that am elected to be saved?"
The old man struggled for moment
with his desire to be respectful and polite
and then shook his head dubiously.
Come, now, answer my question"
pressed the Governor. "What do you
say?"

He Had to be There.

A policeman at the Polk street station

"Why not ?"

Buck KlIgore,s Story.

"When was returning home upon
furlough during the latter part of the
war; said Congressman Buck Kilgore,

on the roadside in Louisiana about night.
The sole occupant of the cabin was one
woman, She refused to let me remain
during the night or to give me anything
to eat. | had one gold dollar in my
pocket which offered to pay her for
chicken which had just been cooked and
was smoking on the table. She refused
to sell the chicken at any price, but was
willing to wager the chicken against the
dollar that she could beat me jumping,
to make the first jump, starting from the
log doorstep.

my activity, and then surveyed myself

and fastened it on the inside. The only
thing could see was the muzzle of

voice and that gun which inspired me

Curing a BaIky Horse.

Old John Ferris made a snug thing for
himself by buying at a low figure from
their disgusted owners all the balky hor-
ses that he heard OF that were otherwise
sound, and, when cured, selling them at
a handsome advance. This was his plan ::
He would harness the horse, being care
ful that he was well fed, the harness
strong and comfortable, the wagon we'll
CREASED in short, that the horse should
have no reasonable ground for com plaint.
Then he laid in supplies for a siege-a
lunch, his newspaper and spectacles, his
pipe, with a filling of tobacco. and a
match, and most important a stout crow
bar with a ring in the top, ana an axe
When the horse decided he had gone far
enough, he tried very gentle measures to
persuade it otherwise (hesnever struck
HIM, but when these all failed, he de-
liberately drove his crowbar in the
ground and hitched the horse to it and
then took his ease in nap ora newspa-
per. When hunger and thirst began to
assail the horse, and visions of fat oats
and cool flowing water troughs crossed
his mental vision, he usually showed
restless desire to move on, but not so his
owner He had got used to the sport and
desired to stay longer, but when he
thought the proper time had arrived he
pulled up stakes and started off, but at
the first sign of retractiveness in went the
crowbar again. Before the horse had
time to forget this lesson he drove him
forth again, with the same preparations.
He used TO say that he often had TO use
the crowbar on the second drive, but
never on the third one. If the horse
showed signs of baking he would strike
two stones together, and it would start
off as if glad of chance to 90.

With malice toward none, with charity
for ALL
| intend no modification Of my oft ex-
pressed wish that all men everywhere
might be free.
If any personal description of me is
thought desirable it may be said ] am in
height feet 4 inches, nearly; lean in
flesh, weighing on an average lso pounds;
dark complexion, with coarse, black
hair and gray eyes. No other marks or
brands recollected.
Towering genius disdains a beaten
path. 1t thirsts and burns for distinc-
ton, and will seek it by emancipating
slaves or in regions hitherto unexplOred.
Spoken in 1887.
My heart bled at seeing that family
separated and sold. Ny God if l ever
get chance to hit that institution I'll
hit it hard, John. John Hanks, his
companion to New 0rleansl.
l set out in this campaign (lS5S) with
the intention of conducting it strictly as
gentleman, in substance, at least, if not
in outside polish. The latter | shall
never be, but that which constitutes the
inside of gentleman l hope l under
stand, and / am not less inclined to prac-
tice than another.
Shall we fear an attack from across the
Atlantic? Never All the armies Of
Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with
sill the treasures of earth in their mill
tary chest, with Bonaparte for a COM
mander, could not by force take drink
from the Ohio or make track on the
Blue Ridge in thousand years. From
a speech delivered in 1887.
Let reverence for the law be breathed
by every American mother to the lisping
babe upon her lap. Let IL be taught in
schools, in seminaries, and in colleges.
Let it be written in primers, spelling
books and almanacs. Let it be preached
from the pulpit-in short, let it become
the political religion of the nation.
Let every one play the part he can
play best in this campaign (lS4S). Some
can speak, some sing, and all can halloo.
The law never sanctions cheating, and
lawyer must be very smart, indeed,
who can twist it so that it will seem to
do so.
The sacred right of self-government"
has been so perverted in the "squatter
sovereignty" plea as to amount to just
this: That if any one man chooses to
enslave another, no third man shall be
allowed to object.
Let us have faith that right makes
might, and in that faith let US to the end
dare to 10 our duty as we understand it.
The mystic chords of memory, stretch
ing from every battlefield and patriot
grave to every living heart and hearth
stone all over this broad land, will yet
swell the chorus of the Union, when
again touched, as surely they will be, by
the better angels of our nature.
Mary, we have had hard time of it
since we came to Washington but the
war is over, with Gods blessing, and we
may hope for four years of peace and
happiness we will then go back TO
Springfield ami pass the rest of our lives
in quiet. This was said but five hours
before the assassination.
