Der of maids and bachelors get to-

which they roll up, end draw by way
of lots, the maids taking the mems
billets and the men the maids; so
that each of the young men lights
upon-a girl that he calls his valen-
tine, and each Of the girls upon a
young man which size calls hers. By
this means each has two Valentines
but the man sticks faster to the val
entine that is fallen to him than to
the valentine to whom he is fallen.
Fortune having thus divided the COM
pany into SO many couples, the val
entines give balls aud treats to their
mistresses, and wear their billets
several days upon their bosoms or
sleeves, and this little sport often ends
in love-"
OF course there were various su,
perstitions connected with the day.
In a letter written about the year
1854 by young English girl we have
glimpse of some of the earlier ones.
She says: Last Friday was Valen-
tines day, and the night before | got

Lincoln Always Refused to Represent
Wrong at the Bar Of
Justice.

Abraham Lincoln's love of truth was
distinguishing characteristic, and so
great was his reputation as lawyer that
his clients were sure that they would win
their cases if they employed him. Yet
they knew that if their cases were not
fair it would be useless to consult him.
A lawyer who studied in MIR Lincoln's
office tells story illustrative of his love
of justice. After listening one day for
some time to a clients statement of his
case, Lincoln, who had, been staring at
the ceiling, suddenly swung around in
his chair and said:
We'll, you have pretty good case In
technical law but pretty bad one in
equity and justice. You'll have 10 get

MERRY ST. VALENTINE.
The Lovers Own Day Comes Again
with Its Happy obser-
vances.

There is no good reason for believing
that Cupid and St Valentine were on
particularly familiar terms. The. care
full judgment of centuries has not
shown any evidence that the old priest
and martyr was the least concerned in
matters of love. Nevertheless, Valen-
tine has for centuries been known as
the patron saint OF sweethearts. He
was bishop of Rome during the third
century, and is said to have achieved
great success in converting the pagan
Romans to Christianity. The wrath
Of the emperor, Marcus Aurelius
Claudius, was for this reason visited
upon him and he was ordered to be
beaten outside the city, and later to be
brought within and beheaded. The
day of his death was February IA, 270
A. d. When the saint came to be
placed in the calendar his name was
given to the day of HIS death, and thus
was created a festival which Offset
that of the Lupercalia, which was OBJ
served the 18th of the same month.
Now the feast of the Lupercalia was
an ancient Roman celebration in
honor of Pan and Juno. Among the
numerous ceremonies known to have
taken place at this time was that of
placing in box slips on which were
written names of the young women
present. These were drawn out by
the young men, and each youth had to
offer gift to the maid who fell to
his lot, and to become her partner
while the merriment lasted. AS the
Lupercalian feast and St Valentines
day were SO nearly coincident they
came in time to be observed on the
same day. And as has so often hap
pened with pagan feasts and modern
days Of special meaning or interest,
the significance as we'll as the tina
of these two gradually merged nto
one.
In due time England took up with
much zest the celebr stion of this low
ers' holiday. 1t found its way also
into Scotland and france, and later, OF
course, into America. An early Eng
lish writer says: oh the eve of the
14th Of February. S.. Valentines day,

and deleated him on his own ground,
Abraham Lincoln found himself. He
knew then what was to come. The re-
publican party was formed, Lincoln de-
liberately threw away a senatorship in
order to force the issue of slavery in the
territories directly before the country.
and thereby became the logical leader Of
the new platform. "A house divided
against itself cannot stand" was the
platform. He stood upon it fearlessly,
and faced the future ready to meet its
unknown crises in whatever position OF
leadership he might be placed.
How he met the crash of war, all re-
member. How he faced defeat and dis
aster, undismayed when his greatest
generals and advisers failed him one by
one in time of danger, how he bore vi
cariously the sufferings of the armies in
the field, and the patient families they
had left behind, how he solved the ques-
tion of slavery by dictator's edict that
was fairly overwhelming in its signnifi-
canoe for America-all these things are
the commonplaces of history. When
men think of Lincoln they incline for the
most part to idealize him as he was in his
moments of exaltation-in his Gettys-
burg address and his second inaugural
and he becomes hero who is already
vague and unreal to the youth of to-day.
But it is well to turn back to that early
manhood of apparent mediocrity, almost
of failure, when he kept on putting his
moral principles into politics wherever
he had chance, and telling the truth
even on the stump and waiting for his
opportunity.
We could not have Lincoln to-day.
Men of his intellectual and moral power
as leader would not be waiting for an
opening at "A. Neither would they have
the homely habits of speech, the broad
and generous humor, SO ignorant of cy-
nicism, which made Lincoln unique. Men
OF that type are not often needed in the
politics of to-day. But the man who
works and thinks and lives up to his con-
victions while he is waiting for the lar
ger tasks that may lie before him is still
the man who wins.-Chicago Standard.
