ST. Valentines Day
Observed by Youthful Lovers
Uncertain Origin of the Day.

No use in getting hot because
somebody sent you a valentine
calling attention to your big nose,
your bald head or iyour fondness
for the bottle.
1t was all a joke-they didn't
mean TO hurt your feelings. Take
it good naturedly, lie low and g..
even next year.
OF course your dear lady love
has palpitation Of the heart over
the dainty little evidence Of your
devotion which you sent her-it
had fringe Of paper lace about it,
Cupid was there with his darts and
there was heart in the center
under which was written, AS
snre as the vine grows round the
stump etc, 'or words to that effect.
You ought to have easy railing
after that soaks in.
The day was properly observed
in Chickasha. Everybody received
valentines who wanted them and
some who didn't want 'em. There
were the usual social festivities
too,
Today is the day when the
youthful lover sends greetings to
his "sweetie. " The Valentine is
supposed to answer for the short
comings Of the modest young man
who cannot unfold his tale of love
to the maiden fair, but uses the
Valentine as the most effective
means OF demonstrating that his
heart beats for her alone and that
her love is like the sunshine after
rain. The modern young man asks
for no good reason for observing
The day beyond the established
custom for spending two or three
dollars tor an artistic design or
picture.
Historians have tried vainly to
connect Valentines day with the
beheading Of ST. Valentine which
occurred on February IA, under
the cruel ,reigu Of Claudius Of
Rome. They have signally failed.
An authority says that the con
nectiou of the custom with ST.
Valentine is pnrely accidental. In
the legends of the different saints
of that name recorded in the Acts
Sanctorum no trace of the practice
pecnliar to the I4th of February is
found. 1t has been suggested BY
Mr.. Douce in his "illus trations oi
Shakespeare, that the custom
may have descended to US from the
ancient Romans who during the
Luprcalia, celebrated in the month
of February, were won't, among
other things, to put the names Of
young women into a box, from
which they were drawn by men
as chance directed, and that the
Christian clergy finding it difficult
or impossible to extirpate this
pagan practice. gave it at leass a
religious aspect by substituting the
names Of the particular saints for
those of the women rnd it is certain
ly usage more or less widely ex-
tended in the Catholic church TO
select OH St. Valentines day or
some other, patron saint for the
year who is termed a Valentine.
On February II the birds are
supposed to choose their mates and
begin housekeeping foa the season.

to have his card sent to the Chief Executive.
The Secret Service agents and local police on
guard at the entrance told the old man that the
President had not arisen. and asked him to call
again. He went TO the Hotel Buckingham say
ing he would return later
When asked concerning his identity and his
motive for wishing to the President, he said
he was William Waldorf Jackson, jr.. of Lowell
Mass; that he wished to confer with the Presi-
dent as to reforms in government. and that he
was self-nominated candidate for the Presi-
denoy Of the United States in 1885, 1900 and
1904 The man said he was the proprietor of
the Hotel Hamilton, Lowell.
The old mans attire was that of a politician
of former days. His frock coat was worn ana
shiny. and he wore old but carefully pre-
served silk hat and pink tie. He declared he
would again strive Qn 1909 to achieve his
dearest ambtion-to be the nations Chief Ex-
ecutive

valuable information as to how the Office he
holds should be conducted. came early, so as
not to take up the Presidents time, for 1 know
he is very busy. 1 shall go on the stump
through the Southwest in 1905 and try to con-
vert the public in that section to my way of

AT 10 o'clock the old man left the Hotel Buck

ing the bell, he met Detective Sergeant OCon-
nell, of the Central Office
"Are you the President?'' asked the old man.
Yes sir. Good morning to you," said the de-
tective.
well, do you know. 1 am William Waldorf
Jackson, jr., and 1 very anxious to speak
with you?"
The detective bowed to the old man and the
latter made low bow to the detective
IT understand, Mr.. Jackson" the detective re-
sponded "but very busy this morning and
would much prefer that you call again to-mor-
row or the day following that, when shall be
very glad to talk with you"
Yes. sir. It's about matters relating to how
the government should be conducted sir the
old man said. The detective then bade his
visitor good day.
When Mr.. Jackson again reached the side
walk he said to those standing near him:
Now, that gentleman didn't look at all like
fellow 1 thought he was That is too bad

I'm awfuly disappointed
While he was talking tears streamed down HIS
cheeks. With his lips moving the aged man
walked slowly down Madson-ave.

the educational work connected with Lincoln's

ciates establishing near Cumberland Gap, Tenn

evening. he promptly and generously released me
from my pledge to him.
