ing at his desk, nor was it Of bright
crimson color. He did not wear q
grass-green coat or red and blue
checkered trousers and purple-striped
shirt cuffs, and, being rather mod
sest and well-conducted young man,
the charges of snobbery and bump
tiousness in the atrocious doggerel be-
low the valentine seemed singularly
fiat and inappropriate. But 1t was
true that he was clerk, and. though
he had never considered that dis
graceful, it somehow seemed to him
now to afford ground for the sheer.
AT the least, Pooley thought. 1t
showed that somebody disliked him
probably honestly believed that he
was snobbish and bumptious, so that
his maligned ears tingled and he
burned with resentment every time
the comic valentine met his eye.
That was quite frequently. for he had
taken particular pains to have 10
pinned above his little work table in
the sitting-room-just to show how
little he cared. When friends came
In he was sure to call their attention
to it. --.~-~
In addition to this, Pooley spent
much, time specializing as to who had
sent the thing. He compared the hand
writing on the envelope that had con-
tanned it with the handwriting of his
friends and acquaintance. and came
to many conclusions, the result, of
which was that his friends began to
complain among themselves OF a GER
tain change in his manner-a lack of
the old warmth and frank kindness,
and a cold and distrustful air. The
evil influence lasted for exactly one
wear. For some months before the st.
Valentines day following he had been
more than slightly under another in
fluence. It had pretty golden hair and
blue eyes and its name was Margaret.
Margaret was friend of his sister,
and had been to Pooley's house several
times.
So it happened that just before st.
Valentines day Pooley spent quite an
extravagant sum Of money in the pur-
chase of an arrangement of laces, rib
bons. yiolets and amatory verse, which
he directed with his gloved left hand,
and mailed secretly. On the morning
Of st. Valentines day he himself re-
ceived a modest little card which
seemed to give him inordinate delight.

St. Valentines Day.

The 14th of February is observed in
commemoration Of st. Valentinus, a
bishop of Rome noted for deeds of
kindness and beneficence. Shake
speare refers to the day as one on
which birds choose their mates. From
whatever source the day derived its
origin, it appears that sending friend
ly or sentimental messages on the 18th
of February is an ancient time-hon-
ored usage. It is pleasant and

Rabbits. Moved Down.

Abram Wister, farmer who lives
near Cannon Falls, learned that
large number of jack rabbits were IN
the habit of visiting an open spring on
his place to get drink. To get to the
spring they had to cross a strip OF ice
thirty feet wide, and while drinking,
to stand on the ice Immediately about
the spring. In a circle around the
open water and extending out about
ten feet from it Mr.. Wister scattered
salt which thawed the ice on the surface
and kept it thawed, tho the temperate
ure was thirty degrees below zero.
When the rabbits came to drink their
feet were wet by the water on the sur
face Of the ice, where the salt was, SO
that when they stepped on the clear
ice beyond the salt they froze fast in
moment and stayed in that position
until Mr.. Wister raped them on the.
heads and moved them loose with
scythe. ".
