Mastarson came to New York in 1893
at the request Of Thomas Byrnes, the
superintendent Of police. George Gould
had been receiving a number of letters
believed to be from an insane man, who
had threatened to shoot him on sight.
You had better get man to look after

that number Of men. ''Bat doesn't do

With the mercury lowering around 10 degrees above zero yesterday morn ing, there was one man who forsook his comfortable room, long before his personal necessity required 1t.

LITTLE GOD OF LOVE WAS ABROAD
 IN THE LAND DISTRIBUTING VALENTINES

ferent parts of the European continent, particularly Lorraine and Main in France, by a very peculiar and anus ing custom. On the eve of February fl a number of young people, maids and bachelors, would assemble togeth- CT and inscribe the names of an equal number of young folk of their acquaint- ance of the opposite sex. on small bll- lets. These billets would be thrown in receptacle and would be drawn there from by the guests, care of course be- ing taken that the drawer secured the The person thus drawn became ones valentine. These imaginary engage ments often led to real ones, because year to serve his valentine. somewhat after the relation of the romantic knight of the olden days to his lady love. At one time. 1t was the custom for the young men on Valentines Day to | present their lady loves with some gift. During the fifteenth century the custom was popular in the courts of | Europe and Pepy's Diary says that in
 the time of Charles II. married per- sons also indulged in the pastime.
 In recent times this custom has dwin- dled into a rather coarse custom of dis tributing comic valentines and has lost much of the romantic flavor with which it was formerly tinged.
 The popular conception of the valen- tine season is that it was designated m the middle of February because at ! this period birds begin mating.

Daniel Cupid held full sway in Mont gomery yesterday.
 At least yesterday was the particuar time set aside for Daniel Cupid to get in his best work, an as the preceding sentence always leads a Valentine Day story and there are no reports to the contrary, 1t Is safe to reiterate that one Daniel Cupid held full sway in Mont gomery.
 One thing is certain, dealers who sell valentines had a brisk trade. There were few young people in Montgomery who didn't get, in the morning post a duty-futy envelope containing a huty-fiuty piece of card board with a likeness of the God of Love printed on it and some insipid poetry printed in blue ink under the likeness of Amor.
 Many small boys got out their ham, mers and sent their friends the penny sheets with a comic picture supposed to reflect on the persons foibIes. Not only small boys did this but many per sons who have reached the age of dis erection engaged in this pastime.
 Among the school misses and school boys, the Cupid and poetry valentines were very popular.
 Cupid is always pictured as running around in a rather unprotected condi- tion. When he made his arrival in Montgomery the thermometer regis tered about 10 degrees above zero. He must have suffered considerably from the weather. although the warmth of heart is his chief characteristic.
 Valentines Day was originally cele- brated in England, Scotland and in dif-
