most persons would unhesitatingly pro- nOunce the heart shaped centerpiece of pink roses more beautiful than either yiolets or forgetmenots.
 A very pleasing idea is to have heart shaped top for the table. Any carpenter will make one of these quite satisfactorily, and 1t will be found very appropriate for various other functions Throughout the year as well as St. Val snttne's entertainments. Heart shaped tables have come into favor for the pretty luncheon, teas and dinners given for prospective brides, and such a ta- bic may be made to look most charm ing if tastefully decorated .
 Hearts, Cupids, bows and arrows and true lovers knots are extensively used for decorating. A ffieze of large pink paper hearts is unique and pretty for the dining room, while one end of the room and the sideboard may be effec- lively draped with soft pink cheese cloth. Pink candles with shades to match should be in the candelabra or candlesticks. and the chandelier lights

 A mustache club has been organized among the students of Lake Forest university at Waukeegan, III. The club now has membership of fifteen, and increases are locked for.
 Lloyd Smith, the president, with a mustache three inches from ''tip to tip" is the object of envy of his fel- low club members, who are seeking, through the aid of hair lotions and ar- tificial growth improvers of all kinds. to attain the high standard set by him. Each member must grow a mustache or be severely dealt with by his club mates.
 It is stated that opposition of the col lege girls prevented the formation of what was originally intended-a whis- kers club.

 I went part way downstairs, and aft CT growing to himself for two or three minutes he began work. He hauled the bedstead out into the middle of the room and got one of the rails out of the footboard, and I heard him chuc- king:

 I knew it would come, and when the footboard fell with crash I was not through vibrating I entered the room and found MT. Bowser surveying the footboard in a startled way and said:

He didn't seem to have any particular plan about it. but just lifted the rail out, and next instant there were terrified yell and, terrible crash. We rushed into the room to find that the other rail had slipped out and let the massive headboard fall flat and that MT. Bow ser had not been quick enough to get out of the way. It had caught and flung him down on his face, and only his head appeared to view. 1 saw that his eyes were open and that he was conscious. and I asked:
 "Mr. Bowser, did hear you call to me?' P. ?
 He fetched a groan or two, but made no reply.
 ''I see that you are still running your job, but you appear to have stopped for awhile to take rest"
 He opened and closed his eyes. but he couldn't find, words in which to ex- press his feelings I winked at the : cook and, remarked that she had better go down to the kitchen and finish hei work, and we went downstairs togeth CT. ...
 I expected Mir. Bowser would cal out, but he didn't. He was determined not to ask for help if he died for it but at the end of fifteen minutes he had to give in and raise a shout. UI

Cheap Sleeping Quarters.

"A new graft has been discovered in Sedalia Mo-" says one of the papers of that place. Every night for some time past the mems waiting room at the Missouri Pacific station has been crowded with men sleeping in the seats. When asked their business there by station attendants they invariably res urvected tickets to some nearby town and said that they were waiting for trains. A few days ago about fifty of these regular boarders applied at the ticket office to have the tickets redeem ed. The agent then got next to the fact that the tickets were purchased for the sole purpose of bunking in warm room."-Kansas City Journal.

 When it had been disposed of he re- turned for the springs. He made a sudden dive and lifted and twisted and yanked. and l knew that another ca )amity was at hand.
 As MT. Bowser began to prance around the room with the springs 1 heard a sudden fall and ran up and looked into the room to find him on his back, with his legs tangled up with the wires. I drew back while he was get ting up, and for the next five minutes he was busy with an oration in which the landing of the pilgrim fathers and the Satanic ingenuity of the man who invented bed springs were about equal ly disparaged.
 When it was concluded he got hold of the springs in g careful and deliber ate way, and they went to join the mattress without further adventure. Then he was ready to take down the bedstead, which was really a job for two men, and as he stood and surveyed tt I heard him say:
 ''It's as big as house, but I'll have the best of 1t in five minutes"
 "Mr. Bowser." I said as 1 entered the room and found him standing be- fore the bedstead with a rather anx- ious look on his face, don't you think cook or I had better help you take out the rails?'

The prevalence of grippe in Annapolis
for the past few weeks has caused a

number of cases in the city. One gen

thought it would be safe to say that
seven out of every ten persons i'll An.

a canvass of the city physicians show
ed that the Annapolis doctors are each
attending an average of twelve grippe
patients making about l20 cases of au
thenticated la grippe. or influenza. as il
was known some years ago.
Some of the physicians had many
more than twelve cases, while Others
were attending not more than five cases
The cases of severe colds. which ar,
often COMPOUNDED with grippe. would
easily amount to between two and tire,
hundred, according tn the estimate o
one doctor.
The concensus of opinion among med
zeal men is that the epidemic is directl,
due to the dampness occasioned by th'
melting of the heavy snowfalls of tn,
