When nomination Is determined
months before the nominating conven-
tion meets, when the nominee is the
most conspicuous man in public life by
virtue of his Office, his personality and
the deeds he has done, comment is an
ticipated like the convention program.
Every newspaper. every citizen has
discussed Theodore Roosevelt, his pub
lie acts, his public documents. Out
of all this discussion has arisen var
ious conceptions OF the man and the
official which meet at some points,
seperate at others and lead to diverse
general conclusions. And upon these
conceptions the nomination will. OF
course, have no effect whatever. Any
effort to create sentiment Tor or
against Mr.. Roosevelt now would be
like an attempt to make new men and
women out Of the present generation
of Americans.
There will be common agreement,
however, that he has earned his nom-
ination. In such emergencies as
those brought about by the Panama
revolution and the resistance to the
Cuban treaty be has impressed him.
self upon republican policies in such
ways that the description. logical can
didate. fits him completely. For
other illustrations of this same truth
we might refer also to his activity
in connection with the new army and
navy schemes, the anthracite strike
settlement and the trust cases.
Though conventions indorse admins
trations Of their own party as a mat
ter of course, even when they are Sc
cretly weary of them and ready to
throw them over, this Chicago conven-
tion could have found no other proper
man for its Roosevelt platform except
Roosevelt. He has not. it is true,
been closely identified with the money
or tariff questions, but one Of these
was practically determined when he
came Into office, and his comparative
indifference toward the other leaves
him more acceptable to the party as a
whole tina an ardent protective tariff
Lacquer or an ardent tariff reformer
would be.
But 1t is not enough to say that he
has earned the nomination merely be-
cause his record has been turned into
an asset by the convention. He has
a right to it because he is the un-
doubted choice OF the masses Of the
party. This is shown not only by the
instructions to delegates, which have
often been influenced during the his
tory OF the country by President s
power over the administrative machin.
cry, but by the manifest popularity
of the instructions with the party i
voters and the early disappearance OF
anything approaching organized op.
position. Though it would be untrue
to say that dissatisfaction disappeared,
at the slime time a great majority OF
those voters are assuredly for Roose.
Welt. and his nomination is response
to their demand.
Aside from their superior ability to
I'll the exalted positions to which they
have been called, both candidates are
college graduates, men of high Chris
tian character, and notable represen-
tatives Of the pure American home.
They are indeed an honor to Ameri.

to American craftsmanship, to Amer

5 TRUE ORIGIN OF @
=. ST: VALENTINES DAY

festival of St. Valentine 1t is we'll
known that in many languages one
letter Of the alphabet may easily be
substituted for another through popu.
lar error in the spelling bf particular
words. It is suspected hy some that
the name is primarily derived from
the Latin "vale;" which is equivalent
to our. farewell" a salutation that
was placed at the end of letters; but
a large number more ingeniously find
it's source in the Latin s.yalens," vail
ant, gallant ssAccordingato them, in
passing from the: Latin into the Nor
man French this word took "g' in
lieu of the ~" and alogical' develop
ment of it was the noun "galantin," a
lover of women. AS gallantry and
valance, in another sense, are syn
onymous, it was easy for "galatin"
to become "valantan" or "valantin."
It is pleasant to leave all these con-
lectures aside after simply passing
them in review, and Ito determine,
merely for the delectable purposes
of the imagination, that we will join
with Charles Lamb and other most
worthy dreamers in regarding st. Val
entine as real bishop, who has a
very charming mission. in connection
with the love affairs Of humanity.
Thus does the inimitable, Lamb apos-
trophize him: Like unto thee, as
suredly, there is no mitred father in
the calendar. Thou contest attended
with thousands and ten thousands
little Loves, and the air is
".Rrusht with the kiss Of ru:stling wings,
Singing Cupids are thy choristers
and thy prosecutors, and insteadgof
the crozier the mystical arrow is
borne before thee, r"

It is. the fashion nowadays to speak
of many. old customs that still sur
vive, although much diminished, as if
they were to all intents and purposes
already dead. st. Valentines: day Is
nowhere observed, it is true, as much
as it was 200 years ago.. nor even as
much as it. was in the early recollec-
ton of some of the elder generation of
the present.; yet it is very far from be-
ing extinct as peculiar and popular
holiday. In some of the r,lr'..s disticts
of England it is still. celabratted with
much quaint fidelity to tradition, and
even in this country certain Of its well
known features are not likely to be
wholly abandoned, if ever, for many
years to come. Indeed, the social
prophet may well question whether st.
Valentines day may not rather regain
much that it has lost through the at
triton of time and change by the natu-
raj reaction that follows all. positive
movements. The tendency toward re-
newed respect for some social insti-
tutions of the past that have fallen
ed. The dominant instinct of the
twentieth century thus far seems to be
conservative as well as progressive.
Not very long ago it. was thought
that st. Valentines day was given over
almost absolutely to the sorry wits
and their patrons who made it con-
venience for vulgar lampooning and
anonymous libel. But even then the
pretty sentiment belonging to it had
not been altogether lost; and since
then it has steadily revived: The proof
of the assertion is in the fact that
there is now a greater demand for
printed valentines of real poetic and
artistic merit than ever before, and
that those of the cheap, illiterate and
malicious type are comparatively lit

Woman Embarks in Business Of
Breeding Fancy Rodents.


Breeding white, piebald, black and
Japanese mice is the latest household
industry which is receiving attention.
A woman living on the northern out
skirts of the city has embarked in
the business quite extensively. The
mice sell wholesale at the rate of $40
per 100, and regularly, once every
week, she delivers fifty of them to the
leading bird and animal dealer, who
sends them out to his customers in
this and other cities. In this way she
earns IS every week, and '$21 and $22
per week from the other sales of her
mice. It would be hard to imagine
easier money than the S5.which she
receives weekly for her dwarf cat:

She has at her home part of a large

her mouse farm. 1t must be cleaned
up now and then, and new straw and
earth put in for the mice, but aside
from this, her only care is to feed
them twice a day and keep their basin
full of fresh water. The mice in.

selling fifty every. week she is able

tines day that any article upon it
must necessarily be only a reminder
of that which is already known. It
has been the theme of numberless
poets and antiquarians. After all.
nothing better expresses. the spirit of
this festival, since, upon the extension
of Christianity, it assumed it's modern
character, than the lines of that fresh
voiced English poet, the Rev. John
Dome, who was contemporaneous with
Shakespeare: -
Hail, Bishop Valentine! whose day this is;
All the air is thy diocese, -a~
And all the chirping choristers
And other birds are thy parishioners:
The lyric lark and the grave whispering

The household bird with the red stom-

AS doth the gold finch or the halcyon-

Valentines day is found in nature it.
self. It was first a pagan tribute to
the fecundity of the earth and of man,
personiled in Pan and Juno, and there
is reason to believe that its origin
was identical with that of Pelasgian
festival, observed in Latium before the
time of Romulus and Remus, and
brought thither by Evander from Ar
cadia. This was q festivaLof seven
days, beginning in the ides Of Feb.

the wolf. lupus, which is supposed to
be associated in some way with Pan,
and was often represented by the an
clients as q smybol Of light and the
course OF the seasons. Pan was the
killer o1 wolves and the protector Of
the shepherds who dwelt upon Mount
Palatine before Romulus and Remus
built their city there. BY some, the

MENELIk A REAL MONARCH.
Abyssinian Rulers Chief Interest Lies

Menelik Of. Abyssinia is a man OF
dark complexion, grizzled whiskers
and beard, pleasant smile and a
very determined jaw. The general
expression is amiable and intelligent
and confirms the general opinion that
he is the most liberal-minded and pro.
gressive man in his dominion.
He is evidently not given up to
effeminate luxury, and the nearest
way to his heart is said to be through
the latest invention in military weap.
ons. He has thoroughly subjugated
the entire country and turned it from
mass Of petty tribes and chieftains
to united and powerful country in
which he holds undisputed sway.
The name of Menelik commands re.
