An assistant government weather
forecaster in western city has written
to Prof. Willis Moore, chief of the
weather bureau, asking to be trans
ferred from his present station to the
most remote and isolated weather sta

His reasons for this request are inter

social position in the city where he is
now stationed, but that on account of
his small salary and poor prospects her
parents absolutely refuse to consider
his offer of marriage with their daugh-

AptIy Criticised.

One of the best criticisms of SCOTS
novels was given by an Irish cobbler,
as related in the biography of William
Stokes"
DR.. Stokes had often loaned the cob
bier odd volumes of Scott to read.
Walking beside him one day on the
road, the doctor said:
well. Denny, what did you think Of

said Jared.
"Oh. because but guess some
child sent it."
Maybe not"
mo one else could have had so little
gumption!" said the widow with an
other laugh. maybe there's one of
these comic valentines inside of it

why don't you open It and see?"
II will"
She burst into another laugh as she
drew forth a dainty creation of lace
paper, tinsel and bright colored en-
bossed pictures.
How perfectly ridiculous!" she said.
''The idea of anyone being ninny
enough to send an old woman like me a
thing like that!"

"I'm 45i"
well. I'm older than that, and I
don't call myself an old man. Many a
woman around here would be glad to

really meant it."

I'm not vain enough to think that
and not foolish enough to say it if did
think it."
NO. don't think that you are. Jared.
But I wonder who could have sent me
this. The writing on the envelope is
evidently disguised. and-O. here is
something insidel Let's see what it
says.
% wilt thou be my valentine
Forever and forever aye.
And wilt thou take this heart Of mine,
And give me thine to-dayr"
There was another verse but before
she had read It. the Widow Darby cried

They had reached the outskirts of the
town now. Jared brought the horse to
a standstill. and said:
els it yes or no, Lucy?"
She looked at him with shining eyes
and laughing face for moment. Then
she laid one of her mittened hands on
the sleeve of the great fur coat he wore.

the town.
