The Kindness of ST. Valentine.

In quaint little village in the rocky
Businesses of the Swiss Alps lived Hans,
the piper's son. The bugle OF the
mountain boy could be heard in the
low-lying valley and from peak to peak.
Every morning Hans called the simple
folk to work and to duty. Everybody
loved Hans. He served as town crier,
town clock, and for the first voice to
ring thro' the peaceful valley. What
did the people do? What tasks did they
perform? They made wooden toys
tons of wooden toys to make the chill
dren glad, and to bring laughter to
homes of every nation and cline.
One day Hans fell i'll. The bugle-
horn was still, and no note of music, or
peal, or ring reverberated DER the plain,
or from mountain side to mountain side.
st. Valentine knew Hans, and he knew
the responsibility lying painfully on the
heart of little Hans. st. Valentine was
not unmindful of the faithful toiler; he
often watched him in silence as he
climbed the stony pathway to the sum-
NIT of the mountain to send the bugle
note to the borders; to the farthest
Swiss home.
All day Hans moaned and suffered.
Someone had done his work, but Hans
didn't know it. ST. Valentine had come
as a swift messenger, and sent the "wild
bu lie flying" into each hamlet and
home, and called the men, women and
children to work and to duty. st. Val
entine has ever since been dear to the
hearts of Swiss peasantry in their daily
labor and around the evening tiresde.
There is pretty legend that has been
part of the Swiss song and story-that
st. Valentine spreads throughout the
realm the toys the boys and girls make ;
that he whispers in the night wind, "Be
faithful, my children, and be kind, y and
that makes every dear child happy in
his work.
Once year st. Valentine brings to
each home budget OF colored ribbons
or tinsel card and leaves it fluttering
above the doorway OF the humble homes,
and on the doorstep he placed the parcel
of good cheer" and well done with
many, many valentines for little ones
and for those of older years, The girls
inger over the love verse, the boys cast
shy glances, and go singing about their
heart in the window.

A Sunshine Spot

| was especially interested in the little
blind lady who keeps pleasant fireside
for her husband and two-year-old baby
in snug tent, partly boarded up, on
-- street.
She opened the door at my rap, and
although she couldn't see, she said
"Come in" so. cheerily that | gladly
stepped in and looked around at the
little home. was surprised to see the
order with which everything was kept.
One tiny room, but it was so cosy and
clean that it was pleasure to stop and
rest AS the lady talked to me, her
expression OF voice and face often
changed until almost felt she could
see. As | sat there watching this blind
mother soothe the little one, divining
every want, brushing away baby's
frowns. and calling out the innocent
play and smile of childhood, | thought
here is lesson of sweet mother-heart
again. What can | do for this one,
afflicted as she is? The little home
seemed complete in love and care.
Every day is like the one before it.
She is dependent on you and me, dear
friend, for fresh thought, new voice,
another presence. She cannot leave the
humble home; kind hearts must draw
near and vary the monotony, and bring
sunshine and beauty.
"Now, there are two kinds of good
ness" says Aunt Jane in Forward.
christmas tree goodness and apple tree
goodness. Generally, the Christmas
tree makes the most show. It's a sight
easier to wire things onto the branches
than to grow 'em there. You can take
the poorest sort of tree and hang it all
over with tinsel and apples and nuts
until it looks wonderfully fine. All the
same no farmer would exchange it for
the poorest apple tree in his orchard.
PLENTY of folks have Christmas tree
goodness. They think it pays to be
truthful, or honest, or temperate, so
they hang their virtues onto their lives.

The Easy PHI.

DeWitt's Little Early Riscrs do not
grippe nor weaken the system. They
cure biliousness, iaundice, constipation
and inactive livers, by arousing the Sc
cretions, moving the bowels gently, yet
effectually, and giving such tone and
strength to the glands of the stomach,
liver and bowels that the cause of the
trouble is removed entirely. These
famous little pills exert a decided tonic
effect upon the organs involved, and if
their use is continued for a few days
there will be no return of the trouble.

Mr.. HOP Grower, Beware

A neighborly exchange has few
self-opinionated remarks touching upon
the hop situation next year. 1t might
be well to consider the following sugges-
tions:
"With hops still gyrating between %
and 80 cents a pound, there is a strong
tendency to increase the acreage of
yards in the Pacific northwest. This
move is all right for men familiar with
the situation and who can figure profit
at 10 to - cents, but to those who en-
bark in the business under the expecta-
ton of permanent high prices, the ven
ture is likely to prove bad speculation
1t should not prove a great surprise to
see hops go to about double their present
prices next year, but they are Just about
as liable to drop to the loo mark. Hops
are about as uncertain as boom towns in
an era of speculation"

HAS FOUND HIS LEVEL.

Intelligent readers who had curiosity
enough to read the report of Mr.. Bryan's
speech at Greenfield must have been struck
by its low tone. Mr.. Bryan has occupied
large space in the public eye and in recent
political history. He is far from being a
great man. but a man who has been twice
nominated for President and has been the
principal orator in both campaigns ought
to have some knowledge and grasp of pub
lie questions and some ideas above those of
a crossroads politician. Mr.. Bryan's speech
not merely a partisan speech. but a par
tisan speech from low and narrow point
OF view. In the campaigns of 1896 and 1900
he was often eloquent, as political oratory
goes, and stirred his audiences to high
thusiasm because he was advocating pol
icy which. however dishonest and vicious it
was, he thoroughly believed in. He was
not master of his subject. because he was
on the wrong side of the question, but he
was thoroughly imbued with it, and in both
campaigns he held pretty well up to the
standard of his "crown-of-th
cross-of-gold speech" which nominated
him. But with the death and burial of free
silver and 16-to-1 Mr.. Bryan's eloquence
has departed. Samson's strength departed
with his hair. AS long as Mr.. Bryan was
advocating a financial heresy which he be-
lieved in and was full of he was eloquent
in way, and effective, but that gone he
has lapsed into vulgar commonplace
ness. He deals with small politics and
personalities. He berates the Republican
party in a sort of country newspaper style.

This is very different from the Bryan ora

with an idea, bad as it was, and felt that
he was riding on the top of a wave that
might carry him into the White House, and
did come dangerously near it. Mr.. Bryan

AFTER DIAZ-WHAT.

Diaz has accepted another nomination for
the Presidency of Mexico, and it is almost
a certainty that he will be reelected. Eut
For more than a decade he has been look
ing forward to the possibility of retiring
and has cherished the hope that Lman-
tour his very able and conservative minis
ter Of finance, might be promoted to sue
coed him; but when tentative move In
ago it was found that the popular heart
was with General Reyes. Diaz filled the
breach by standing for reelection. and now
comes forward again.
Under him Mexico has been well govern
ed, albeit most despotically governed.
Diaz is the Mexican government to all
intents and purposes. Fortunately his pur-
poses have been honest and his ambition a
patriotic one to bring Mexico up out of the
dead level of Latin-American republics.
Order has prevailed throughout the republic
as never before. and commerce and indus
try have been wisely encouraged. But the
great masses of the people Of Mexico have
not advanced very much. With no general
scheme of public education and with the
people permeated with the dull Incidence
so common in the tropics, it has been i'm
possible to bring the country to a point
where 1t can stand alone in the matter of
self government. Diaz holds the practical
dictatorship on account of his military ac-
complishments and control of the army,
not on account of his craftsmanship and the
good civil government he has given. When
he is off the stage, 1t is practically GER
tain that another military man will sue
coed him. Just now Reyes seems to be the
man in line. and all accounts agree that
he is just about such a man as the average
Latin-American military hero. with little or
none of the character and genius for gov
eminent that have distinguished Diaz.
American financial, commercial and in
dustrial interests in Mexico have grown to
tremendous proportions during the Diaz
regime. and If. on his death, the govern
ment deteriorates to the anarchical con-
ditions that mark the Central American die
tatorships, we may have another problem
of considerable proportions at our DOORS
