was gone when he reached here. and he
accepted position on MIR. Staples farm
at salary of $40 per month. Here he
toiled steadily. but did not inform his
folks of his whereabouts. They en-
ployed a New York detective, through

Cook Il Co., OF New York, to be used in
sending Bell home. A ticket and money
arrived here Friday. aud Bell left the
same evening for New York, whence he
will sail for his home in London. 1t

every thing had been forgiven and that
they wanted him to return home.

LAUNDRY.
A Political Club.

A good story is told on one of the po-
Ntical managers. He was approached
several days before election by yotng
man who stated that he had organized
club of eighteen men and would
name it after any prominent man who
wUIld furnish the uniforms. He did
not want much-just cape busters and
plug hats. The manager studied the
matter over, and finally got the busters
and hats and threw in some nice canes
for good measure.
This is the last that has been heard Of
that club. 1t has not been named after
any prominent citizen so far as any one
is aware. 1t has been learned, however,
that the young men have organized a
minstrel company, and are prepared to
give nicely dressed street parade when
they start on the road.---Indianapolis

An Old Eosebush.

AS long ago as the year 800 Hides
helm is mentioned in history. In that
year we are told Louis the PiOus, Char
lemagnes son and successor, made it
the seat Of the bishopric intended by his
father to be established at the neighbor-
ing town of Elze. Less than century
before Charlemagne had brought the
heather Saxons into subsection and
Christianity was yet new in the land.
Gunther, the first bishop, had been can
on at the cathedral at Reims. Three
years after his elevation to the new
episcopal see he consecrated the first
chapel, naming it in honor Of the Virgin
Mary. The chapel is supposed to have
occupied the site under the present
cathedral, where the crypt of the new
church is built.
A pretty rosebush that now clings 20
the outer vail of the cathedral choir is
said by tradition TO have grown there
since the days Of Louis the Pious him
self In the Twelfth century, when the
choir and crypt were being enlarged, a
protecting hollow wall was built around
the rosebush, in order that the vine
might continue TO grow about the build
ing when the new wall had been COM
pleted. A bit of the old archlng may be
seen behind the altar in the crypt This
is the present voucher for the great age
of the rosebush, and it must be admitted
that many traditions repose upon a less
solid foundation. Architectural Record.

Origin Of Valentines Day.

Like many another man St, Valentine
or plain Valentine before he died-was not
appreciated until after he hau passed from
earthly scenes, He was bishop and was
noted for his love and charity. He lived
in wicked, cruel old Rome. Centuries be
fore the Christian era the Romans had
feasts in the month Of February called the
feasts of the Lupercalia and one Of the
customs peculiar to these feasts was the
placing Of the names of the young women
in box, from which they were drawn by
the young men Later, upon the rise Of
Christianity, it was made festival of the
church, and good st. Valentine was fixed
upon as the proper person whom the Gus
tom should honor and the day celebrate.
