liens and newspapers OF every pro-
gressive county in the state. In

ty court, a proposition to issue $780,
600 of bonds for that purpose will be

FORTUNATELY for the industrious,
that portion of humanityis relative
ly small that goes to Jail during the
winter months on charge of va
grancy because assured Of comforta
be lodging and plenty to eat. Small
as is this element, the burden to
the community at large of these la
ziest of drones amounts annually to
thousands of dollars. The main
trouble appears to be thatjails have
become SO comfortable as actually
to invite the shiftless and idle to
become residents therein when the
inclement season begins. Here
tramps and Migrants are sent to jail
with bread and water diet. 1t is
said that within a week they want
to get out, promising nevef to return
to the city again, and that the jail,
instead of being filled to OVERLOOKING
has very few inmates. If this prac-
tice were followed with strict i'm
partially in each city, an army OF
able bodied and lazy men might
feel that they had call TO do some
thing else than live off the indus
| trious.
TO-DAY is st. Valentines day and
many missives of love have gone
through the mails and been deliy err
ed by other means. In the olden
times this day was hailed with de
light by young men and maidens,
for on that day they prepared with
great care respectful expressions of
love and pretty implied hope for
its return. A great deal of time and
care was required to prepare one OF
these missiyes, and many a gallant
knight rode many miles to deposit
his love token at his sweetheart
door Many people believe that the
birds selected their mates on that
day, and it was also supposed that
the fist person met on st. Valentine s
day would be ones future husband
or wife. Valentine parties were a
great source of amusement. AT
these gatherings slips of paper CON
tanning the names Of all present
were shaken together in a hat, lots
were cast, and the one drawn was
that persons valentine for the even
| ing. The young man was also ex-
pected to make present to his val
entine, some token suitable to what
ever sentiment the acts of courtesy
had inspired. Another source OF
amusement was the writing of names
on separate slip of paper, which
was afterward rolled inside a ball OF
clay. The balls were then miners
ed in basin OF water The one that
was brought to the top first was
j said to be the one who would be
4 married before the wear was out.
