St. Valentines Day.

If so accept it in good Spirig for. tho
malice may have prompted the sender.
it may nevertheless enahIe Won TO see
Yourself as another sees you. 1t will
do no good TO get mad. Laugh and
make the hest of it as the Old King did
when hanging limb lifted his wig off
exposing his bald head 10 the gaping
crowd.
Valentines day derives its name,
some say. from st. Valentine, a Chris.
tian martyr. who was arrested by Clau-
tlius Cesar for his adherence to the
Christian faith, and turned over to Cal
phurnius. who was told to win him hack
to Roman idolatry. CalphnrniuS did
not succeed but SuGcumhed himself to
! the teachings of st. Valentine. The
good man was. however. thrown into
prison. and was finally heheaded on the
18th day of February. 20, A. D.
Others say that oil this day. February

ers trace the custom of its observance
TO the Roman Lupercalia lFebruar!
, l5th.) when similar practices were OBJ
served. Traces of the custom have
! been observed among the northern pa
gans of ancient Europe. Hence, it may
not be that the tradition ascrihing the
origin of Valentines Day to the loving
character and disposition Of st. VaIen
tine is Il true one.
! Whatever the origin may be. oul

SIN RETURNs.

Pap Sampson. older by four years, a
tribe grayer perhaps, but as active and
alert as ever, sat on fence at the side
Of the road leading into Beckett's Mill
from the south. His attitude was such
as to denote that he was absorbed in
earnest thought. which he was. He
was recalling scenes and events Of past
days and was SO lost TO the present as
to be totally oblivious Of everything
about him. SO unconscious of his sur
roundings was he that he was not even
aware of the approach Of two men,
dusty and travel stained, who YEARLY
plodded their way along the hard,
white road.
Pap's thoughts were Of Sim Banks
and Of the events attending Sims de-
