On entering every guest should drop a
valentine into box placed convenient
ly near the DOOR Before the box is
opened publicly some reliable person
should examine it to find out if every
guest has a valentine, and those who
have been overlooked should have
one from supply furnished by the
hostess. Of course this secret must
not be let out. Valentine boxes at
children's parties should always be in
spected so that there are no heart
aches among the little ones. either be-
cause of comic pictures which hurt
the feelings or on account of some one
being forgotten.

tributed while refreshments are being
served.
AS each girl enters the room where
the refreshments are to be served she
is given a tiny red and sold heart
shaped book. upon the single leaf of
which is written familiar quotation.
In the center of the table is a large
red and gold heart-shaped box inclos-

the authors Of the quotations; the rib

At a given signal each young man
present takes hold of ribbon, the lid

Valentine Gifts.

A heart-shaped cut glass flask for
perfume, or a heart-shaped box with
silver top for the toilet table, or a ring
with a true lovers knot encircIing a
whole pearl, a turquoise, or an anne

Of course the young folk keep the
festival in mind But there is no rea-
son why the little god of first love
should mOnopOlize all the joys of it.
The valentine sent for friendships
sake oftentimes contains a deeper
feeling than that sent in the enthus-
iasm of young fancy. Sorry is the
day when we feel too old to send a val
entine or cease to get merriment out
of the occasion. Don't forget the lit
tie folks. Does anyone recall the
time when the day passed and the
mail brought valentines for everyone
but you? What a heartache followed
on that bit of carelessness. So spend
this evening cutting paper hearts and
writing jingles and remembering all
your friends Valentines are cheap
enough to be within the reach Of ALL
for in comes little Beth with her hands
full. "These are three for a cent and
these are two. Please write the name
of the boy next door," she cries.

Celebrate ST. Valentines Day.

1t is the little things that add joy
and lightness to daily living Remem-
bering birthdays and anniversaries
and sending a valentine to a friend
when the annual feast of the amiable
old saint comes round in the calender
are little acts which help along hap
piness and keep alive the flame Of af-
lection. The husband of twenty years
who mails modest lace paper heart
to his wife on his way home the night
before, and then watches her futter-
ing delight as she opens her mail the
next morning keeps alive a tender
feeling of sentiment that smooths the
rough places of daily living. The
wife who sends a valentine to her hus-
band is more than repaid for the recol-
lection Of youthful tenderness.

h carts to Let.

A delightful valentine game called
Hearts To Let is played somewhat
in the same way as going to Jerusa-
lem, or, as it is also called, CLAP IN
and Clap Out"
The chairs are placed back to back,
and each one is labeled with the name
Of one Of the young men of the COM
pany, there being exactly as many
chairs as there are young men pres
ent
The girls are blindfolded before the
labelling is done. They march in line
around the chairs to the strains of
some good old love song, and when the
music ceases sit down in any chair
which happens to be handy. Of
course, when the bandages are taken
from the eyes there is much sport
over the seats and the girls who have
chosen them. 1t is understood for
the occasion that fate guides each
maiden to choose the chair of the man
whose personality she is most taken
with.
The mems turn comes next. Here,
of course, the chairs are labeled with
the names Of the girls. The men are
blindfolded and march around the
seats, dropping into the nearest when
the piano ceases playing. This, of
course, decides the important fact of
which girl is preferred by the man.

Homemade Valentines,

Sometimes the valentines made at
home find greater favor than any one
can buy. Hearts may be cut from
water-color paper and painted red, or
gilded and verse written on one side
By little ingenuity and folding of pa
per quite packet may be made in
heart shape. A box of candy hearts
is pretty valentine. Original rhymes
are acceptable and not so hard to
make after all. Cakes heart shaped
may be sent as valentines, and ribbon
bows pulled to represent a heart are
pretty.

GUARDIANS OF PUBLIC
HEALTH HOLD SESSIONS
State and National Boards Hold First
Conference Under New Law.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 3.-The
first conference of state and national
boards of health under the act of July
1, 1902. began here today. Surgeon
General Wyman, Of the marine hos
pital service, presided. DR.. Wyman,
in an address. said that the great end
in view was closer association and
union of effort between state and ma
tonal health authorities.
DR.. Foster, of California, gave a de-
scription of quarantine operations in
that state. He said that with the
vigorous cleaning of Chinatown, the
fear Of another attack of the bubonic
plague in SaE Francisco was rapidly
disappearing. He attributed the sue
cess achieved to the hearty co-opera-
ton existing between the city, state
and national health officers. Twenty
one states were represented at the con-
ference.
DIR. Wyman described the system and
workings of the United States public
health and marine hospital service and
suggested plan of organization by
which the work of the national and
state health administrations might be CO.
ordinated and made more effective.
The conference adopted resolution ex-
pressing approval of the methods of CO.
operation suggested by DR.. Wyman. A
vote of confidence in the San Francisco
authorities was passed, and the confer
ence adjourned sine die.

HEART DOES BUSINESS
ENTIRELY ON ITS OWN HOOK
Can Pump Blood Even When Removed
From the Body,

Can Pump Blood Even When Removed
From the Body.
CHICAGO, June 3-That the heart
Is Independent Of the central nervous
system and can be made to pump blood
through an artificial circulation even
when removed from the body. has been
demonstrated to the students at the
University of Chicago by a striking ex-
pertinent performed by Prof. Elias p.
Lyon, of the department Of physiology.
Prof. Lyon has been able not merely
to make pieces Of heart pulsate in salt
solutions and in the air, as was done
by Prof. Jacques Loeb and Prof Lin
gle, but he has caused the heart Of a
dog to pump blood through itself. a.
pair Of lungs and a loop OF tubing over
four feet high.
DIR. Lyon disclaims the distinction of
discovering the method OF causing an
apparently dead heart to beat, as he
says that the experiment has been per-
formed before. Previous experiments
having shown that the heart was indie
pendent of the central nervous system,
and 1t was found that the only condi-
ton necessary for causing the heart to
beat was that 1t should be able to cir
culate blood through ITSELF lie this
condition be met and the blood pre-
vented from coagulating In the COM
partments of the heart. 1t was found
that circulation could be kept UP.

News, Va. were the lowest bidders for
one vessel, and the William Cramp &
Son Ship and Engine Building compa-
ny were the only bidders for more than
one ship. 1t is supposed that the I'M
settled labor conditions throughout the

FARIBAULT, Mimi, June 3.-St.
Thomas and Shattuck closed their
schedules in the intercollegiate series
here today and st. Thomas forged to
first place in the league by winning
the game hands down. Shattuck beat
st. Olaf yesterday by a score of 10 to
and on the home grounds hoped to
repeat the performance today, but with
eight runs and five hits against them
at the end of the second, they lost hone
and the game was practically won for
the st. Paul boys.
Warde was at the mercy of the
Saints from the start. In the sixth.
when the visitors tired of smashing
the ball, they resOrted to bunting, and
four men in succession succeeded in
reaching first base. At this stage of
the game, Hamilton replaced Warde
and while his pitching was somewhat
better he was touched up freely.
>Leutge pitched the entire game for
st. Thomas and held the Shads down
to seven hits. Hungate, of Shattuck,
played good fielding game, and was
also strong at the bat. Halfpenny led
the batting for the Saints, securing
four hits and a sacrifice Sheeran dis
tinguished himself in the fourth by
slamming out a, clean h9paesrun. Doyle,
Ryan and Gleason carried off the hon.
ors in the fielding department. In the
seventh inning, Capt. Ryan, in order to
give all his men chance in the last
game Of the season, retired Gleason,
Stapleton, Sheeran, and replaced them
by Tracy, Hoppenyan and Myers.
Manager Cullen, of St,TThomas, stat

Spectacular Raid.


Spectacular Raid.
CHICAGO. June 3.-Prompt action
on the part Of directors Of the board of
trade and several members Of board Of
trade firms fores tailed the service of
warrants today for alleged violations
of the statutes. Charges of pretended
buying and selling of grain" which
there was no intention of receiving or
delivering, were brought against the
individual directors and similar
charges against recent board of trade
operators by the men who are said
to have been victims Of the recent raid
upon the establishment of George 7.
Sullivan. Arrangements were quietly
made, however, for the perfecting OF
bonds for all parties and a spectacular
raid on the board and offices Of it's
members, which was to have been a
part Of the program, was avoided.
President Chandler, Of the board of
trade, said:
TThis attack on the board of trade
is an act Of retaliation on the part of
the bucketshop men, on account Of the
boards withholding from them its mar
ket quotations. They are desperate
since the failure Of their last scheme to
capture the open board and work it as
q quotation factor. The board Of trade
is more than willing to put to the test
of the law its methods Of dealing"
