VALENTINE KILLED LOVE.
A Farmer Disinherits His Daughter
Because of a Comic One.


James Martin, a well-to-do farmer,
recently died, leaving a will by which he
disinherited his only daughter, the re-
suit of a disagreement about valentine
so years ago, says a Ballietville (Pa.)
special. 1t was a few days before st.
Valentines day, so years ago, when the
daughter asked her father for new
dress. He refused to buy it for her.
The girl took her fathers refusal much
to heart. On St. Valentines day Mr..
Martin received a valentine addressed
to him in his daughters handwriting.
1t was a rough caricature, represent
ing a miser counting and gloating over
his money. He at once took mis- daugh-
ter to task for what he considered an in
suit. She denied that she sent the car
toon. There lived in the neighbOrhood
another farmer who had treated niece
living with him brutally. Martins
daughter said that she and this girl had
purchased each a valentine and that she
Miss MARTINI had bought one entitled
"The Honest Farmer" while the other
girl had purchased the caricature to
send to her harsh uncle. In addressing
the envelopes the valentines, she said,
became mixed
But in spite of explanations Mr.. Mar
tin would not believe his daughter, and
from that day he never spoke to her.
She soon married and lived on farm
adjoining, and, although the old man
was on the most familiar terms with
the husband and children, he never no
ticed her. He died the other day, leav-
ing an estate valued at $4,000.
BY his will he left his widow 100000
and to his son-in-law the remainder,
provided he survived his wife, the farm
er's own daughter. If the son-in-law
died first, then the money was to be di-
vided among his three children. To his
daughter Mr.. Martin bequeathed "a
package to be found in his trunk, tied
with green ribbon and sealed witt
green wax" When this was opened II
was found to be the unfortunate valen
tine that had caused the estrangemenf
of the farmer from his daughter half {

A vheelman hung his bicycle from
the ceiling of his cellar, not far from q
swinging shelf on which food was kept.
A mouse jumped from the wall to the
tire of the front wheel, evidently hop

wheel started and the mouse naturally
ran toward the highest part of it. 1t

but couldn't get enough of a foothold
to jump to the wall. When found next
morning it was very much exhausted,
though still running. The eyclometer
showed that it had Travelled over 2s
