A Valentine.

Before the buds awaken,
Or the pink blossoms bio
While yet the bOuCh fOrsake-
Hangs ghOstly in the snow
Love Journeys forth elated
To seek the happy shrine
By lovers dedicated
To good St. Valentine.
And there before the altar
He kneels, beseechinC grace;
His heart fOrgets to falter,
Remembering your face;
And all his words are fashioned
Into a single line
A lovers prayer impassioned
To his saint, Valentine.
His eyes with rapture glisten,
His heart with hope is high.
He almost thinks to listen
And hear your footsteps nigh:
All. Sweet. when he shall find you.
And voice his prayer and mine,
Let no vain doubtings blind you
Say yes, my Valentinei

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the Purest and strongest of all the baking powders.

OF the baking powder which will give her the best

Avoid all baking powders sold with gift

Certain protection from alum baking powders
be had by declining accept any substitute for the

METZGAR'S COUNSEL.
The Young Man Appears in Open Court
and Counsel Is Assigned Him.

George Metzgar, who Is now in the
Luzerne county Jail, charged with the
murder of an Arabian peddler In this
city, was brought into open court yes
terday morning. to have counsel as
signed to defend him. Metzgar Is very
much improved in appearance, his face
being filled in greatly and his eye much
brighter than when he was brought
here from Mauch Chunk.
Judge Bennett was on the bench and
said to him: 1T appears that you are
charged with a very serious offense.
Have you any counsel?' MetZgar re-
piled: II don't know anything about
II" do you desire to have counsel?"
Il suppose SO, If need It," he replied,
chewing big wad OF gum he had in
his mouth. The court then assigned
Eugene Ward and p. NJ. Thornton to
defend him. Nessrs. Ward and Thorn
ton then asked to have the case con-
tinued for the reason that the time
was insufficient to prepare the defense,
also that Metzgar was not in good ply
sical condition at the present time.
District Attorney Fell objected, saying
that the case was down on the trial
list for next Monday Judge Bennett
decided that, owing to Metzgar's poor
health and the fact that his counsel
must have some time In which to pre-
pare their case, the case would be con-
tinued until next November.

TO Sell and Gets In Trouble.
Yesterday afternoon Detective James
O'Brien found Charles Miller. Il we'll
known young man about town, with
100 two-cent stamps In his possession,
trying to sell them. Mr. O'Brien Ques-
toned Miller closely about the stamps

given him to sell by Frank l.. Thomp-
son. Thompson was at once arrested
by Mr.. OBrien and taken before
Alderman Thomas for a hearing. Mil
Ter was put on the stand and testified

plained everything satisfactorily.

THE MARCH TO THE Cities
From the TimeS-Herald,

From the Times-Herald.
In 1890 the percentage of urban pop
ulation In the entire population was 335
per cent. In 1850 l2.49 per cent of the
population of the country was in the
cities. In 1860 the percentage was 1913
per cent; in 1870, 2093; in 1880, 22.57; In
1890, 1920. Not long ago the Spring
field, tMass.) Republican fancied 1t
saw new trend back toward rural life,
and congratulated the country upon
promised reversal Of the conditions that
have sent the boys and girls Of the
farm to huddle In the great cities. I'm
fortunately the facts now at hand do not
Justify the hope and this is especially
true in the State of Massachusetts.
Early In the spring the common
wealth undertook a new census The
returns have been published for some
time, and they prove that the march
to the cities still goes on unabated.
Nearly all the country towns and dis
tricts have suffered for the benefit of
the cities Fifteen of the twenty-six
towns in one county FrankliD show
actual losses. The hill towns have been
fearfully drained although II seems in
conceivable that their pure air and
streams should be deserted for the foul
ness and crowding of the factory
towns. Boston gained 1923 per cent. In
population between 1885 and 1895. Fall
River gained SAT- per cent, New Bed
ford 65.47, Chicopee AZ, Holyoke 43, Wor-
cester 44.3O, and Everett 1854 per cent.
while the gain Of the entire state was
only 2S.4S per cent.
This is dlscOuraging showing, but
what Is to be done about 1t? We may
picture the allurements of life on the
farm, but the facts remain that the
farmers sons will have none of hus-
bandry. while the urban population
stubbornly refuses to be dispersed
through the agricultural districts. We
saw this clearly demonstrated two
years ago when a mob crying for dread
and work" paraded the streets Of
Chicago while the crops OF the west
were rotting in the fields for lack of
men to garner them. And this is his
tory. 1t was true for Italy under
Roman rule and 1t Is true for Italy to-
day. 1t Is true for France, true for
Germany. and true for England not
less than Of America. 1t is.unfortunate,
deplorable. even menacing, but 1t Is
nevertheless irremediable.
