NJAEW YORK. N. Y. Feb. s.-"Roses
HANK red and violets blue, sugar is
ISXS sweet, and so are you'll" Didn't we
just revel in those old-fashioned lines
years and years ago, when we were
tots and the wonderful st. Valentine s
Day was a day OF expectancy Don't you
recall how you used 10 watch for the post
man, or hurry down to the little postofficc
and wait for "your turn" when the dear
old st. Valentines Day came along
Don't you remember how shaky your
youthful fingers seemed as you broke the
seal, or tore the envelope open-the big
white envelope-all pressed around the
edges with tiny forget-me-nots, roses ana
pansies; and oh, how your heart thumped
and drubbed against your ribs, and how
you glowed inwardly and outwardly when
you read those old, old lines: "Roses red
and violets blue, sugar is sweet and so are
vou"; or perhaps it only said: "Be my
Valentine" And you would Kiss the stiff
cardboard rapturously, and in your excite
ment fancy it was kissing you in return,
ana then you would lovingly gaze at the
little artificial pink roses and green leaves
which nestled down in lot of paper-lace,
and the two clasped hands. double hearts
and cooin doves adorning the open-work
card seemed to you to be symbolical of Joy
and everlasting happiness.
On, weren't those perfect days?
Wouldn't you just love to have that same
old sweet trustful and peaceful sensation
creep up throu, your being now and
steal your weary senses for day? It's q
pity that Valentines day is losing its
popularity and romance. 1t is because
we have greater tendency to the practi-
cal side of life, thereby excluding all
sentiment, and In our desire to progress
we are simply parting with all the poetry
and idealism our souls are capable Of 1t
isn't quite fair, is it?

JOHN DAILY IN DANGER.
He Will Have to Go to Tail if
He Fails to Pay a Doc
tors Bill.
Judge Coff y Is Tired of Having His
Osd:rs in Guardianship Nit.
ter Disobeyed.

Judge Coffey has issued writ for the
arrest of John DAILY, guardian OF his son
James, because said guardian fails to pay
bill of $170 due from the estate of the
minor to DIR. Frederick Bass for profes-
slonal services.
Young DAILY was injured by a railroad
car and was given verdict for $500 dam
ages against the company. His father
collected the money, acting as his sons
guardian under the order of the Probate
Court. DR.. Bass attended the boy during
his illness, and thought his services in
saving the lads life would be worth at
least $170.
When Daily appeared in court to ex-
plain his failure to pay the doctors claim
he admitted that all the money was gone,
though the account showed that there
ought to DE several hundred dollars on
hand. Thereupon he was directed to pay
the bill.
Attorney Cobb, representing DR.. Bass,
complained that Daily had ignored the
order of the court, so the Sheriff is di-
rected to ''attach the person of said John
Daily and com NIT him to prison until h e
shall have complied with the said order,
or be otherwise discharged according to
the order of the court"
Several years ago similar case was taken
to the Supreme Court on a writ of habeas
corpus. the plea being that an attempt
was being made to put a man in Jail for
debt. On behalf of the Probate Conrt it
was responded that this was not an action
in debt; that guardian of an estate is an
officer OF the court in every sense of the
word, and as such is subject to the court s
control in the disbursement OF moneys re.
ceived as guardian; that the court had a
right to direct the payment of the moneys
according to the rights of the parties in
terested, and that in enforcing this order it
was the right OF the trial Judge to commit
delinquents for contempt of court.

1t Is well understood among scientists
and now generally accepted by all intelli-

mates in many of its attributes to the lower
animals. Children are neither angels
spoiled in the making nor are they to be
counted as Illustrations of natural depray-
ity. They are at first simply animals of
a lower order in the scale of development,
in whom the mental and moral qualities
are nascent. and of whose present needs
and future possibilities we can obtain no
adequate conception. except by an intelli-
gent study Of the lower species which they
resemble. Each individual child follows
step by step. in its personal growth, the
path by which the race has progressed to
its higher destiny. 1t begins life, pre-
nataily. as an aquatic animal. Its frs,
attempts al locomotion are. like those of

The ears of the President of the United

certain tradition holds good in his case,
for many and flattering have been the COM
ments of the diplomatic corps on the first
impression of the chief executive. His re-
semblance to the great Napoleon struck
them forcibly. "Ccst vrai.' they said with
reference to the likeness they passed
out of the White House, after meeting him
Wednesday, and they freely praised the
keenness and sincerity of his glance, the
firmness and dignity of his handle clasp.

extremely critical where the personality of
eminence is concerned, but all agreed that

Gen. Scott's ANXIETY and the DfsIOyaI
Hurangue of a Man in
Tree.

The Inauguration Of President Lincoln
and the stirring scenes here in the early
part of 1861 were vividly brought to mind
TO many OF our older residents by the ap-
pearance of the United States engineer
battalion in President Mckinley's inaugu-
raj procession, for a detachment of the en-
gineers had during the Inauguration OF
Mr. Lincoln the special duty of guarding
the President. The detachment was in
the lire of the procession next to the Presi-
dents carriage. and numbered about sixty
men. offtcered by Lieutenants Godfrey Wet
eel and ]. G. Duane, both of whom a short
time thereafter were in the field, and be
fore the war closed were general officers,

Richmond just after the surrender at Ap-
pomattox.
Though history, as 1t is written by some
of the magazine writers. states that "reSi-
ments of regular troops guarded Mr.. Lin
coin to and from the Capitol" the fact is
that the engineers formed about one-tenth
of the entire force of government men. 1t
Is true that extra precautions were taken
against any possible outbreak, and there
was more or less alarm felt on the part
of the citizens that there might be some
disturbance, yet there were no regiments
of regulars here on that occasion.
There was. however, with the District
