A VALENTINE.

written by married MANI
into my presence came just now
little child know not how.
Familiar, too, he seemed; and yet
I could not tell where we had met.
His mien was innocent and mild
] never saw fairer child
And yet, in most unseemly glee,
He cooked one wicked eye at me.
i knew him then. The pretty boy
Took aim with the same silver toy
That Stays its thousands. '.Wsit!' cried
"Don't shoot at me, my son; oh, fe"
"For you forget it was your dart
Sent once with your own matchless art,
That made me like the rest-a col.
'.Since then, alas, I've been at school!
ssFor she, ah, yes! she still is fair;
Untouched by gray her dusky hair.
Once she was loving; now you see
She rules the house, and she rules me-"
He said no word, but just took aim.
Straight to my heart the arrow come.
"Forget me now, sir, If you dare!'
Cried Cupid, running down the stair.
Deep in my heart there is pain
Methinks I am in love again!
Sweet sweet, my pet it Is not true;
Those foolish words l deeply rue.
j wonder If you are in league
With Cupid? Is it Loves intrigue?
] know not, care not, but I'll sign
Myself your humble Valentine.

MAKING LINCOLN PREsENTABLE

Mrs. Lincoln "Fixed Up" the Presi-
dcnt-elect to Meet Delegation.
In narrating "When Lincoln Was First
Inaugurated," in the Ladies Home jour
nal, Stephen Fiskc writes interestingly of
the memorable journey from Springfield,
ILL.,, to the national capital, and tells Of
Mrs. Lincoln's efforts to have her hus-
band look presentahle when receiving
delegation that was to greet them upon
reaching New York City.
1.-THE train stopped" writes Mr.. Flske,
"and through the windows immense
crowds could be seen; the cheering drown
ed the blowing off steam of the locomo-
tive. Then Mrs. Lincoln opened her hand
bag and said:
Abraham, must fix you up a bit for
these city folks
'Mr. Lincoln gently lifted her upon the
seat before him; she parted, combed and
brushed his hair and arranged his black
necktie.
s'Do I look nice now, mother? he af-
fectionately asked.
"'Well, you'll do, Abraham, replied
Mrs. Lincoln critically. So he kissed hes
and lifted her down from the seat, anc
turned to meet Mayor Wood, courtly and
suavc and to have his hand shaken DS
the other New York officials"

bright, although snow lay like bleached

pedestrian had not married it's purity, and
Meg arose light Of heart and light Of foot
to make the final preparations for her
union with the man she loved. She had
told the foreman on the previous evening
that she would not return to the factory,
and that hireling of men, who considered
humanity of her kind as merely adjuncts
to money getting, had deigned to say IN
an interlocutory fashion: "Going to git
married, hey?" Meg did not answer, but
she felt such delight at leaving the huge
building, where she had been merely as
a piece of the machinery, that it seemed
to her she had never known freedom and
vaguely wondered if it really were She

but when the hands pointed to 4:3O she
concluded that the train was an hour late
and she would don the pretty gown SO as
to be all ready when Tom came. She smil-
ed at her image in the glass as for the
twentieth time she shook out the rustling
skirt and then ran hastily down to again
look at the clock. 1t was 5 o'clock now,
and still Tom had not come, and all at

Meg's heart and she trembled as one with
chill. Then the door bell rang and, with
the glad cry of There he is!'' upon her
lips, she sprang to meet-not Tom, but
stranger, and he looked odd and uneasy
at poor Meg, and somehow she knew

That was all; only the story Of two

her soft gray eyes is something which
is too sad for speech, too deep for tears,

Getting Mamma Out of tho Way.

In an Australian country town lived a
widow named Sawyer and her pretty
daughter Mary AS often happens, the
daughter was in love with young man
against whom the widow entertained a
most unmerted prejudice.
One morning Mary was missing, and her
mother, divining the cause, rushed hatless
and with huge white apron enveloping
her substantial figure, down to the place
where a coach left daily for the city 60
miles distant.
The coach was upon the point of leav-
ing, and, although Mary was not there,
her luggage was. The irate parent took
her seat, expecting that the girl would join
the coach en- route AS matter Of fact
this had been the original plan, and Mary
had gone to IA relatives house at the OPP
posite end of the town to wait for the
coach. Her brother. however, who was in
league with her, gave the driver the hint,
saw his mother fairly started on her wild
goose chase, and then reJoined the happy
pair who We're married by clergyman
some two hours later.

find, on arriving at her destination a tele-
gram awaiting her announcing that the
wedding had taken place. Pearson S

One Of the most curious facts with re-
gard to snakes is that their eyes ere never
closed.
Sleeping or waking, alive or dead, they
are always wide eyed. II we take dead
snake and examine it closely, We shall
soon find the reason-there are no eyelids.
The eye is protected only by strong
SCALE which forms part of the epidermal
envelope and is cast off in piece with that
every time the reptile molts.
The eye plate is as clear and transparent
as glass and allows the most perfect vision,
while at the same time, as any close OBJ
server of the habits of the snake can easily
discover, it is SO hard and tough as per-
fectly to protect the delicate organ within
from the thorns and twigs among which
in flight from enemies or in pursuit OF
prey the reptile SO often hurriedly glides.

dated Ice Co, of New York, has pure based
big lot of ice from Bangor operators,
at so cents per ton, a Bangor dealer says
it was very improbable that such a deal
was made. LAST January we offered ice
at so cents, but to-day we are offering it
at S1.25 per ton. To sell ice at so cents
would be foolish when there was practi-
cally no crop on the Hudson last winter,
and when there is a prospect OF getting
even as high as y a ton, in the middle Of
the summer" There are only about $4,000
tons Of free ice, that Is, ice that was not
cut on contract, on the river, and at least
10000 tons OF that is controlled by a con-
Germ that would not consider an offer under
S1.25. The freight rate on ice has been
advanced 20 cents on a ton, it being IS
cents at present. This advance does not
affect the seller, as ice is generally sold
free on board.

Let IA consider one remarkable direc
ton in which this war has served to
show the progress the world is making.
During the days and months and years
that we have bitterly felt the wrong that
was being dnHc to our poor neghbors,
there has nc er been any serious intrusion
of the religious aspect of the case, save
for one or two sets of resolutions by small
bodies of men. No question has been
asked as to the belief of the poor creatures
whose cruel sufferings have forced us into
the worlds arena as champions of the
defenceless. 1t seems as though we had
reached the common sense attitude of
mind when we believe that wrong is a
wrong, and a wound is a pang, even
| though inflicted on a man that has no
belief at all. 1t seems easy to say: "What
you believe, dear suffering one, is nothing
to me; what you need is my summons to
your side" Yet easy though this is for
US to say, it is not so many years ago
since the purse strings of those who now
subscribe to Cuban relief funds, or who
surrender the darlings Of their freside for
righteousness sake, would have felt the
kindly effort misplaced, perhaps wasted,
because the Cubans are staunch Catholics.
II we measure a mans need and our
responsibility by the extent to which he
agrees with us about hazy matters in the
spiritual realm, we again live back in the
centuries when Spain hourished to the
full -centuries of rapine and of prejudice,
wherein we ourselves had share. But
| if, as we have done, we clear out our
minds of non essentials and fincky diff
ferences, when poor wretch lies before
US imploring bodily pity, then are we
children of the light, the great clear light
that is coming to mems minds as the
world rolls on. Verbal creeds are passing;
righteous doing is on the stage of human
