Beginning of Lent.

Lent will begin next Wednesday.
February Il, and close Easter Sunday,
April 3.
Lent is a season of fasting and
prayer observed by the Eastern, Ro-
man, Anglican, Lutheran and other
churches The Greek church observes
a As days fast, while the other
churches keep 40 days, lot counting
Sundays.
There has beer much contention oy-
er the observance of this season. Dur
ing the early days of the Christian
church it is stated hat the first obser-
vance OF fast was but for 40 hours,
the time between tn death of Christ
and resurrection, while at other times
and in other places the observance
covered a greater number of days.
At certain stages of the progress of
the Christian church in some coun-
tries, total ab]stainance from meat and
wines We're strictly observed.
These observances were aCcompani-
ed by a cessation of all amusements
OF public character.
At this time and in his country
there is no such strict observance of
Lent. Members of certain churches
are required to abstain from certain
indulgences, including dancing. all
public functions, weddings of a festal
character, theaters, and the a~bstaining
of meats and liquors on certain days
of the week, but the old time custom
of total fast is a thing of the past.
Even many church members attend the
theaters and private dancing parties.
while others indulge in sewing bees
and quiet little card games.

OF LOVE ON ST. VALENTINES
DAY CUSTOM ALMOST AS
OLD AS THE HILLS.
Romans Observed it and Sent Tokens
Ornamented With Beautiful Or
Grotesque Oesigns-Lent and Its
Religious Significance at the Pres
emit Time.

St Valentine day, which occurs Sun
In ancient times. when the pagans Ov-
erran Europe, there was a day in Feb
ruary set aside for the celebration OF
the coming spring. Again. during the
reign Of the Roman emperors his
month was chosen as one in which to
hold such festival. Al the beginning
it was only pastoral, but within a few
years the celebration became more
widespread and ali classes joined in
the ceremonies. which also became
modified in character.
The Romans evidently thought, as
did one OF the later American poets,
that in the springtime the young
mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts
Of love" In those ancient days it was
the custom to send l~Ove-messascs or
namented with beautiful or grOtesque
designs. This custom has been hand
ed down to the present generation.
In the year 2TO A. D.. while CIaudis
was emperor. a persecution against the
Christians was raging. At that time
St. Valentine was decapitated and was
later declared a saint of the church.
February IA vas set aside as St. Val
entine's day and many of the old Gus
toms chung to the day accounting for
the peculiarly Of the ceremony. that
OF scrding loye-messagcs.
The variety Of valentines sent out in
the mails during late years has been
great. Not all send the bit Of lace pa
per with some article designed enClos-
ing a message. There are those who
prefer sending a dainty book or story
that might lead the loved one to
think of him or of her, who is absent.
Others send flowers, if possible, the
sender hoping that the beauty of this
silent messenger will call up only ten
der memories of the one who thus re-
members Valentine day.

law prohibits sending a boy under l6
to any place where he might be expos
ed to the danger OF becoming a delin-
quent. but in the course of time hun
dreds, and probably thousands, of boys
have been sent as messengers to such
places.
Judge Lindsey's remedy is for th2
school board to provide a sufficient
number of schools at which trades
could in a practical way be learned.
He would make it optional with the
boys, or their parents or guardians,
to continue in the grammar schools
or to complete the term of school at
tendance by two or possibly three
years in trade school.
Experience in New York teaches
that schools providing practical IN.
struction in the trades are wonderfully
successful. While Upon a visit to ono
Of these schools in New York Judge
Lindsey was told hat whereas former
ly it was almost impossible to com
pei boys with the truant disposition
to attend the grammar schools, they
could not be driven away from the
trade schools. so interested are they
in their work and so eager to learn

MANUAL TRAINING.

A Denver judge has just come to
the conclusion that the only way a
Colorado boy can get into a school
wherein he can learn a trade is to
commit a crime. He urges that
school boards take up the matter and
that arrangements be made whereby
boys can learn trades in the public
schools. In commenting upon the mat
ter the Denver Republican says:
Judge Lindsey, who has had a wide
and varied experience with boys of
the delinquent class, is convinced that
it is of the utmost Importance that
this dangerous and deplorable condi-
ton be changed by providing through
the public schools the lei by which
at least the seventh and eighth grammar
grades may be spent in a trade school.
There is at present no provision of
this kind in the whole of our elaborate
and expensive public school system.
Some time ago a little boy who vas
an habitual truant was brought before
the juvenile court. He hated to go to
school, where he vas taught things
which failed to interest him. Conse-
quently he ran away. He told the
judge that he wanted to learn to be a
plumber and asked if he could not OBJ
tain all the education he needed by
learning that trade. Another boy was
sent to the industrial or reform school
at Golden. Subsequently upon a visit
to that institution Judge Lindsey was
met by the little fellow. who came run
ming to him and saying: why judge.
could l not have learned in Denver
what l am being taught here" Judge
Lindsey thought-but OF course ex.
pressed nothing of the kind to the boy
that it was because there was no
way in which a boy could attend a
trade school in Colorado except by
committing q crime.
AT the utmost not more than 10
per cent of the children of school age
in Denver attend the high schools
including girls as well as boys-and a
large majority Of those who take the
high school course are girls. 1t is
safe to say that 95 per cent of the boys
CT school age in Denver go no further
than the grammar school. These boys
come out Of the grammar schools. at
lges varying from 10 to l6. with no

and kisses her land to the perspiring
throng.
1t is not the disheartening sense OF
failure alone which makes a man swear
in the Silly night. nor yet the fact
that he has slapped his alabaster limb
than he needed to, but it is the trining
and heartless way in which the mos
quito kisses his hand to the audience,
and scars away humming a Tyrolean
lay.
Putting up stoyepipe is easy

get them on time-put on an old pair

thing is ripe for the fatal blow, go and
get a good hardware man who under
stands his business. If this rule be
strictly adhered to, the gorgeous eigh-
teen Misunderstanding profanity OF

is so easily influenced ny the change OF

winter, M summer follows upon the
heels of spring. just as it did centu-

cheering assurance of spring, or the
promise OF the coming summer time,

its string beans, its baseball, its nam

A WONDERFUL BUSINESS
Is the Lord G Thomas Advertising
Agency, the Head of Which Re-
tired February list.

Possibly there is no line of industry
in the United States that has grown in
such proportion N recent years as that
of general advertising, which includes
publicity in newspapers and magazines
and outdoor display advertising. and
through its tremendous force the en-
tire basis of modern merchandising
has been revolutlonized.
The Chicago papers of the current
week devote much space. n time to
the wonderful growth of the advertis-
ing business as a whole, and that of
Lord & Thomas in particular. owing to
the retirement of Mr.. D. M. Lord, the
senior member of the firm, who leaves
active business life with a rich COM
p%etence.
The business of Lord & Thomas mas
beer one of the most aggressive and
progressive of its kind in the country,
having in recent years beer under the
active management of Mr.. A. l..
Thomas, whose judgment on advertis-
ing matters is considered as authorita-
tive by the S body of publicity us
ers. Mr.. Thomas has succeeded Mr..
Lord TO the presidency and will con-
tinue at the head of the firm.
MIR. C. r. Erwin, the new vice-presi-
dent has been connected with the com
pany for 20 years and is therefore a
veteran in the field; associated with
him and Mr.. Thomas is Mr.. A. d. Lask-
er, the secretary and treasurer.
To give some idea to the public of
the growth of advertising as a whole,
it might be stated that in two years
the business Of Lord G. Thomas alone
has increased n million dollars in
the billing. and in the one month of
January in 1904 this house has book
ed $3.50, 100000 in advertising contracts
from the following concerns. whose
names are household words in the IN
tied States: Anheuss err Busch Brewing

system.
Thirty-five years of wide experience
in handling the publicity of a large
proportion of Americas most success
full advertisers have fitted Lord &
Thomas to give most judicious and
profitable service to enterprising bust
ness firms in every line.
The main Offices of Lord & Thomas
are in the Trude building. Chicago and
its eastern branch is in the American
