You've got one for me? Good! Now sit

Perhaps I'll read it-if you'll never tell;
Oh, my! From him! How could the fell

He says: Dear maid, love you best

And this: upon your charms ever

What's this? "a pretty and bewitching

That's a good child, and put this in the

Hold on a moment Don't let mother

I'll keep 1t now, though really would

To have one think cared for him bit,
Though he's SO complimentary in ink;
I just pretend to love him-he's got wit.
And that's his one good quality, think.
You think he's not good looking7 Jennie,

hard and unsentimental love to remember
the day by some little token, to indicate
that st. Valentine has left traces of his
love in their hearts.
Perhaps you have heard the legend of
ST. Valentine, but if you have not, here
it is in as small a nutshell as such a saint
could be well condensed: st. Valentine
lived long ago. An emperor ruled him,
and the emperor, whose name was Claud-
ius, became very jealous of st. Valentine,
or FIR. Valentine, as he was then called
And one day Claudius cut FIR. Valentines
head off, and banished his remains, so
that nobody should know that he had
been beheaded.
Now, why did Claudius do thisT' you
ask. Well, he did it because FIR. Valentine
became so great fayorite with young
people that Claudius was not in their af-
fections at all.
But how did Valentine make himself
such favorite?" you still query. Why,
how, indeed? How do you suppose? How
does any man, or woman either, for that
matter, become solid with young people
Why, by helping along their love affairs,
to be sure, and by giving them every OPP
pOrtunity to be alone and talk it over.
Now, FIR. Valentine was a born match
maker, and he was always busy making
matches. If he saw two young people
looking at each other with sheepish eyes,

KANSAS RAILRoADING.

Attica Tribune: During the yea1
1894 there were 157 cars of wheat, thir-
ty-three of corn, forty-one of stock, and
thirty-fve of other freight shipped from
this city.
Rear Admiral A. Alexander, of Her
Majesty's Navy, accompanied the re-
ceivers of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe on their trip as far as Albuquerque
and then went south from there to Ell
Paso with General Manager Frey. It is
assumed he is here in the interest of the
English bondholders He attended the
reception rendered the receivers at Albu-
querqus and Las Vegas in full uniform
and was much admired by all.
The news was received at the Rock
Island general offices of the burning OF
their depot at Pierce Junction, small
station few miles north of Horton. The
fire was started by defective hue. The
building and contents, including the
agents household goods, were destroyed
with the exception of few articles Of
express and freight. A box car was sent
to Pierce junction and will be used un.
til new building can be erected. A
new supply of tickets and Office furni.
ture has been sent there.
Captain j. B. johnson has sent to the
governor his resignation, to take effect
March l, as judge of the Shawnee coun-
ty circuit court, and will give his entire
attention to his duties as special master
in chancery for the Santa Fe company.
The circuit court was created about four
years ago 30 relieve and assist the dis
trict court. During three and one-half
years the court has disposed of 1000
cases. The Office of special master in
chancery, held by Judge johnson, re-
quires the hearing of all disputes that
arise between the receivers for the Santa
Fe company and all other parties. It
also requires the examination of COM
plete monthly reports from the receivers
covering the entire Santa Fe system and
all it's branches from Chicago and st.
Louis to Albuquerque, New Mexico. In
this Office Judge Johnsou's duties now
demand the work of two assistants.

STOCK AND FARM.

An Atchison item: The prospects fol
a good wheat crop in northern and
northwestern Kansas are increasing dali
ly. Much more snow is falling in that
section this winter than in eastern Kan
sas, and reports received here announce
that another snow is falling in that sec
ton. c. M. Rathburn, superintendent
of the Missouri Pacific, who recently
made tour of the state, heard many
encouraging reports as to the condition
OF wheat.
A Humboldt firm has recently shipped
two car loads of horse43to Virginia, and
one each to North CafCBlna. Mississippi
and Massachusetts,.
State Veterinarian Pritchard visited
Mound Valley, whore he had been called
to investigate peculiar disease which
was rapidly killing of the horses. He
says the disease is infectious, and while
he does not name it, he says it is fol-
lower of the well-nown epizootic or in
huenza. It is prevalent in several parts
OF Iabette county, and while DR.. Pritch-
ard did not establish quarantine, he
ordered strict surveillance of the infect
ed districts.

To Avoid Colds.

There is one very simple way Of
avoiding colds-keep your mouth shut
while out of doors. The man or woman
who comes out of an overheated room,
especially late ut night, and~breathes
through the mouth, will either catch a
bad cold or irritate the lungs sufficient
ly to cause annoyance and unpleasant
ness. If people would just keep their
mouths shut and breathe through their
noses, this difficulty and danger would
be avoided.
ChIlls are often the result of people
talking freely while out of doors Just
after leaving room full Of hot air, and
theater goers who discuss and laugh
over the play on their way home are in
viting Illness.
1t is, in fact, during youth that the
greater number of mankind contract
habits Of Inflammation which make
their whole life tissue of disorders.

the parcel window to drop in a package,
all too precious to be intrusted to the care

1t is the girls in this progressive age
who do much of the giving. The young
men do, of course, the greater part of 1t,
but 1t is not considered unwomanly for a
girl to make her admirers presents Of
small mementos, and, therefore, the
girls go to the full latitude which IL al
lowed in this direction.
In sending valentine mementos, the
dear girls prefer to disguise their hand
writing, because valentine gift Is a
love gift, and no mistake about it. And
SO, with papa's stub pen in hand and one
of Jacks big plain envelopes, they direct
the little token which carries with it the
pretty little message which no man, who
is man at all, would misconstrue or take
advantage of.

Modern Catches.

Wonderful are the ways of the street
"fakir." A friend told me that fellow
tormented him to buy a book of three
hundred and fifty songs for a dime.
After having paid the money it struck
him that the songs rather fell short of
the number mentioned. He counted
them. There were just forty-seven. So
he turned back and demanded the bal
ance of three hundred and three lyrics
and an explanation. THAT'S all right. /"
said the ballad seller; ST didn't say
three hundred and fifty; / said three
under fifty. Seer This evidently be-
ing a case where one should not believe
what one hears, my friend submitted
meekly to the imposition.

A MESSAGE OF LOVE.

Now, Mercury wears a suit of gray,
And his twisted stick he has given away
For bag slung over his shoulder,
While the feathery wings have left his
feet,
Yet he hurries along on his daily beat,
Though the weather grows colder and
colder.
he brings me letter from her to-day.
Now what in the world will my lady
say?
My mind is in wild disorder
AS tear the dainty paper apart,
When out falls a blood-red velvet heart,
With a row of pins for a border!
Well, pick up the pretty, useless thing,
And love it, for here did her fingers
cling;
Yet cannot choose but wonder
Is 1t an emblem, a symbol true;
Will she pierce my heart SO, through and
through,
Till it's depths are torn asunder?
/ think how harsh word hurts and
stings;
l think of thousand hard, cruel things;
For one gains with love, and loses.
Then l think of my dear ones sweet,
pure face,
And my heart again at her feet i place
Let her plant there just what she
chooses!
And her pin-cushion-why, without a
doubt,
TIE pins were meant TO be taken out!
How blind l have been, and stupid!
So this is the message she sends to-day:
She will take each sting from my heart
away,
And undo the work of Cupid!

The members of the Kansas National
home near Leavenworth are very desir-
Gus for the legislature to enact a law
giving them the right to vote at state
and national elections upon or adjacent
to the reservation there, the same privi-
lege being enjoyed by inmates of other
national homes.
Wichita special: Every saloon man
in the city was ordered by Sheriff Royse
to close his house at midnight and to
keep it closed. 1t is generally believed
that this action is because of the failure
of the board of police commissioners to
appoint ex-Chief Burrows to the posi-
ton of police, Royse having threatened
some Time ago that he would close the
joints unless Burrows was given the
place. Royse himself says the order
comes from headquarters but he de-
cllnes to explain.

AMONG KANSAS CHURCH PEOPLE.

The ElDorado Baptist church has had
eighty accessions to it's membership
since April last.
Prof Grafstrom, of Bethany college,
Lindsborg, is at work on an immense
painting for the Freemount church. It
will probably be the largest oil painting
in the state.
Rev. j. Newton Brown has resigned
the passionate of the Paola Congregation
al church and will go to Minneapolis,
Mimi, to take editorial charge of 1.-THE
Kingdom" Congregational paper pub
lished there.
Topeka Mail: At business meeting
OF the Congregational church at Valen-
cha, it was voted to build a parsonage, the
work to begin in few days. The build
ing will be located on the church plat
just north of the school house.
Bishop E. s. Thomas is wearing at
services an exquisite white stole and
embroidered amice, Christmas remem-
brance of some of the clergy of the N.
E. convocation. The stole is heavily en-
broidered with passion flowers over a
gold Cross, the panels at the base being
filed with an exact copy of the inter
of st. Thomas Beckett, now preserved
in the cathedral at st. Etienne. at Sens.
France. The work was all done in the
diocese.
Capital: The annual meeting of the
Shawnee county Bible society was held
last week. During the past year the
canvass of the county to supply those
found without bibles was completed, B.
865 families being called upon and 256
OF them almost 10 per cent. of the
whole) were found without the Scrip
lures. Some 2O5 were supplied, the bal
ance being foreigners, unable to read
the English version, or could not be
supplied for other good reasons. The
entire canvass covered 7,775 families, of
whom 500 were destitute of the Bible
The cost was $671.30 for salary and ex-
penses of colporteur, and $3.50 for.
books given away outright. Where pos
sible, people were induced to purchase
the Bible, even if but part payment
could be made, believing they would
thus be led to take better care of the
Book and make more use of it. On all
sides the society has met with the hear
ty support of both pastors and people
in this work, and the year is closed with
all bills paid, although the society's'
stock of books has been greatly reduced
in helping meet the expense. Some aid
has been rendered the parent society at
New York, and during the coming year
it is intended to share all collections
and gifts equally with it.

Cupid's Day.

Sing no! sing hey!
For Valentines day,
When birds their mates are choosing;
When maidens fair
With furtive air
Fond missiVes are perusint
The jolly saint
With pen and paint,
Sly Cupid's work is doing;
His skill he shows
In verse and prose,
To help along each wooing.
The postman groans
With aching bones,
And thinks it quite blunder,
That love-sick swains
Indite such strains
For him to stagger under.
But maidens gay
And widows gray,
And lonely bachelors forlorn
Still own his power
And bless the hour
When good ST. Valentine was born.
Good Housekeeping.
