Highwaymen on Wheels.

A wheelman of West 46th Street,
New York, was not long since at
tackled, robbed and left seuseless by
two highwaymen mounted on bicy-
cles in Central Park. Repeated
accounts of robberies by men
mounted upon the swift revolving
wheel have appeared in all the
papers in various parts of the coun-
try. In each instance, so far as
learned, they have evaded the po-
lice. Those depredators of the
health, diseases of the kidneys and
bladder, will likewise in all likeli
hood escape arrest, and pursue
their atrocious career unchecked.
unless they are arrested in the out
set by the potent intervention of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the
finest diuretic, as well as tonic
known to modern times. The gen.
eral preventive named is the best
known medicinal safeguard not on
ly against venal, but also rheuma-
tic and marial disorders. 1t is at
the start that disease is more easi-
ly and completely overcome. The
use of the Bitters is followed by
the happiest results in cases of dys-
pepsia, constipation, liver COM
plant and nervousness.

ST. Valentines Day

Tomorrow, the l4th Of February
is St. Valentines day, and is Of an
Gent origin. Chaucer and Shakes
pear aIlude to the notion that birds
mate upon this day. In England
and Scotland the custom prevailed
that all unmarried men and maidens
were to choose partners on this day,
and they were regarded as each
others valentine, for the whole Of
the year. The gentleman was ex-
pected TO pay more attention to the
lady he chose in seeing that she was
not sighted for escorts to balls,
theatres and other places of amuse-
ment. Presents were exchanged
between the parties, aud the mock
betrothal endured during the year,
and in many instances ripened into
genuine romances and marriages.
These usages soon yielded to the
sending Of penny valentines through
the mail, and that under anonymous
signatures
1t is an old truism that times
change and men change.with them.
One thing is certain, sentiments
never change. st. Valentines day
1898, will show the same sentiment
as did St. Valentines day, 1898.
Tomorrow the mail bags of Uncle
Sam will be almost bursting with
enclosures containing dainty silver
ed bon-bonniers, punches of violets,
cards with four-leaf clover wrought
in gold upon them, and boxes con-
tanning cupids, etc.
Our valentine gifts are more ex-
pensive, but they are the gift of the
age and time. The sentiment that
prompts the gift comes from the
heart, and when the heart speaks,
the pocket responds.
Long live St. Valentines Day,
long live sentiment. and long live
those who keep their heart in tune
to love the beautiful and the true
our sweet-heartsl

The woman cashier sighed. There
were lines of weariness about her
mouth, and her eyes had the hard,
bright, painfully alert expression which
comes from too highly strung nerves.
She Ind been working steadily frc n
early morn until well into dewy eve,
and the atmosphere Of the restaurant
in which she sat, perched upon high
stool before the desk in the tiny brass
birdcage-like counting room, was laden
with the fumes OF lighted cigars ard
strong cooking. The door near her
swung back ard forth, letting in blast
of icy air with every customer in a
way to have made any mere man eX-
press his dissatisfaction in large, lurid
swear words But the woman cashier
only displayed meek dissatisfaction as

sapphire and diamonds, turquoise and
diamonds, or, as in one case, a glow

is, so far as chains are concerned, very
much engaged to young man who
means to get as near Lee as he can
and who expects to vote for him when
he is put up for President. On the
third finger of her left hand-that fin
ger that has vein which connects
with the heart-she wears a beautiful
pink pearl set about with diamonds.
That means If she sheds single tear
and pearls signify tears-they are to
be tears of giadness. Around her
neck is a very thin gold chain, and on
this is hung a heart of diamonds. Of
course this opens, and on the inside
sre-well, you might guess-a photo
graph and a lock Of hair. On her
wrist is a chain bracelet in which are
set small rubies, and engraved about
them in curious letters is the wise
warning Fool, not to know that love
eIdures no tie," In return for these
pretty trinkets she letters her sweet
heart with the heavy chain bracelet,
