DO. YOU KNOW
ST: VALENTINE !?
Eighteen Hundred Years Ago
He Left a Legacy for You.
The First Valentine Was Garter, and il
Was Passed from One Young Woman
to Another in Token of Luck.

Do you know who Saint Valentine
was and how his name came to be per-
petuated through the ages?
Or did you know that there was. a
Saint Valentine at all? And did you
suppose. that the valentine of commerce
wast tonly sporadic growth, ready to
die when custom had tired of it?

IN MUSICAL CIRCLES.

Every one is looking forward to the
Oratorio concert, which will be given next
Thursday, the 10th inst, at the Opera
House. The soloists are coming from
New York, and are Eleanor Meredith,
soprano: Edwin c. Some, tenor, and
Heinrich Meyn. bass. They are all fine in
Oratorio, and Wheeling people will have
a treat when the hear THE Creation" by
Haydn Last evening there was a re-
hearsal with the full orchestra, from one
hundred to one hundred and twenty-five
members of the society being present.
The enthusiasm was far ahead of what
was manifested a year ago, when THE
Holy City" was given, and there is every
promise of a fine performance. Tickets
for the honorary and active members
will be on sale Friday at Banners, for
the associate members Monday. and for
the general public Tuesday Wednesday
and Thursday of next week. Reserved
seats will be $1.50; general admission, s1.0o.
Great as the work Accomplished by
Haydn in his youth and early manhood
unquestionably was, it remained for his
old age to bring forth his greatest work,
and that by which he is best known, the
oratoro Of THE Creation" 1t is said
the first ideas for the work came to him
when, in crossing the English channel,
he encountered a terrific storm. Soon af-
ter his leaving London, when the words
had been given him by Solomon, Haydn
sat about composing the music. Never"
he said, was / so pious as when compos-
ing The Creation. | knelt down every
day and prayed God to strengthen me in
my work. The Creation" was first pro-
duced on March 81, 1893, the sxty-seventh
birthday of its composer, at the National
Theatre Vienna, and was at once accord
cd an extraordinary amount of popular
favor. There is a pathetic story of the
last performance of the work, at which
Haydn, in extreme old age in 1908, was
present. when Salient conducted. He was
carried in an arm chair to the hall, and
was received with the warmest greetings
by the audience. At the sublime passage,
"And there was light" Haydn, quite
overcome, raised his hand, pointing up
ward saying: 1T came from thence.
Soon after this his agitation increased so
much that it was thought best to take
him home at the end of the first part.
The people crowded around him to take
leave, and Beethoven is said to have rev.
erently kissed his hand and forehead.
After composing The Creation Haydn
was prevailed upon to write another work
of somewhat similar character, to words
adapted from Thompson's poem, and en-
titled, The Seasons"
Innes' Band will give a concert at the
Opera House tonight.
~
Tomorrow evening the Woman's Musi-
cal Club Haydn celebration viii take place
at the a. o. u. w. Temple. and the con-
cert will be prefaced by a paper by Mrs.
Flora Williams. A large audience is ex-
pected to be present.

one cause of Sleeplessness That Can BE
Readily Overcome.
Mr.. William Handschu, of Forty
sixth street, Cotton alley, Pittsburg,
"a, expresses himself as follows re-
gardlng the new remedy for that COM
mon and obstinate disease, piles: Il
take pleasure in stating that | was so
afhcited with piles that for three
months got no regular sleep; | became
completely Frustrated, the doctors did
me nc good; my brother told me of
lne new remedy for piles, Pyramid
File Cure; | purchased from my drug
gist three so cent boxes and they COM
pietely cured me. | am once more at
my regular work and but for this ex
cellent medicine I should be on my
back. | take great pleasure in writing
tnlS letter because SO many people are
sufferers from this trouble who like
myself did not know where to look for
permanent, reliable safe cure.
Experience with the Pyramid Pile
Cure in the past three years has dem
onstrated to the medical profession, as
well as to thousands of sufferers from
piles, that it is the safest and most eff
fectual pile cure ever offered to the
public, containing no opiates or pois-
ons OF any kind, painless and convent
ent to handle, and being sold by drug
gists at so cents and 81 per box, is
within the reach of every sufferer.
Very frequently two or three boxes
have made complete cure of chronic
cases that had not yielded to other re-
medy for years
There is scarcely disease more ag-
gravating and obstinate to cure than
the various forms of piles and it is
common practice to use OintmentS,
salves and similar preparations con-
tanning dangerous poisOns to remove
the trouble. The Pyramid has super
coded all of these Intellectual remedies
and no one suffering with any rectal
trouble will make any mistake in CIV
ing the Pyramid a trial.
If in doubt as to the nature of your
trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Co.,
Marshall, Mich, for a valuable little
book on piles, describing all forms of
the disease and describing the method
of cure.
Any druggist can furnish the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure as it is the best known
and most popular remedy for piles and
if you ask him he can doubtless refer
you to many people in your vicinity
who have been cured completely by 1t.

another at the outer point OF San Juan

Castle ~ the mouth Of tho harbor of

word ''Aiorro'' really means n high

harbors Of the West Indies are land
locked, With narrow entrances and ex-
banding waters inward, something like

the mouth to tho harbor. In nearly all
these cases one side of the entrance is
high land, often a lofty rocky cliff, and
on these high lands, Notifications have
been erected, and the more pretentious
are called castles, hence we have Nor
