The Valentines.

st. Valentines eve and the skies were gray,
And the frozen SHOWS were deep,
When ] suddenly started wide awake
From a sound and dreamless sleep.
The air was full OF a rustling noise,
And l saw by the freight red -
A throng of beautiful shimmering Shapes
That crcled around my bed.
There were maids in lilac and blue ana PINK
With spangles of silver and gold,
And youths In powder and velvet coats,
with eyes both merry and bold;
And doves that bore In their tiny beaks'
Or under their downy wings,
Loveknots azure, and billets doux,
And hearts and roses and rings.
1--WE come from the wonderful Land OF Bliss
Where Cupid Is king" they said,
And music of lutes is the fashion yet,
And debts with kisses are paid;
And every year come snow or blow,
We return to the world once more,
Each bearing vows from lover true,
To leave at a maiden's door

of Chicago president of the Illinois
Women's Trades Union league will ad-
dress the Second district of the Nebraska
Federation at its annual meeting at the
First Congregational church Monday after
noon at $3.50 o'clock. AS may be readily
recognized, the proxies referred to are
the women in the factories and trades
who are doing the work that only a gen.
Grafton or ago was done in the home,
and whose labor makes 1T possible for ths
home women to attend club meetings,
travel and otherwise follow their inclna-
tons. II was following Miss McDowells
impassloned appeal for the women in in
dustry before the Wisconsin State Fedora
ton meeting last fall that the resolution
proposed by Mrs. B. c. Gudden of Oshkosh,
chairman of the Wisconsin Consumers
league, requesting that congress make an
adequate appropriation for the investiga-
ton of the Industrial conditions OF women
passed. The resolutions were again
passed by the Illinois Federation and Miss
Mcdowell, with Jane Adams, Lillian
Wald of the Nurses Settlement of New
York were appointed a committee by the
National Women's Trades Union league
to present the matter to President Roose-
welt. Their suggestion was received with
enthusiasm, and later embodied in the
presidents message. The General Fedora
ton of Women's clubs have taken up the
matter and, organized in congressional dis
tricts as this body is, the women are
peculiarly well fitted to push the agitation
and bring influence to bear upon congress.
If such an investigation is made 1t will
be the first investigation into the labor
conditions of women ever made officially.
Miss Mcdowell is one of the most promi-
nent women in settlement work and her

Women's clubs were organized originally
for self culture. This was the only sort OF
organization permitted or consistent with
woman's sphere" less than half a century
ago. Sixteen years ago. after much hard
work and opposition, not the least of which
was from the conservative women them
selves, a national organization was effected
and since then the altruistic work has gone
forward amazingly. The state organization
has strengthened the womans movement
materially, and gradually the woman's club
has become a power that is not realized by
the majority of the women themselves.
Men. however, In their larger experience,
realize the possibilities of this aggregation
OF the flower of American womanhood. but
men do not understand. as do those who
have helped to build this force all OF its
weak points or the difficulties under which
this splendid organization has been accom-
plished.

While in the main, last week was dull
to the extent of being oppressive, there
were a few pretty affairs and one, at
least, that will stand out conspicuously
I'm the memory of the fashionables after
the season is over-that was the Orcutt-
Keeline wedding. 1t was beautiful af-
fair, but an even more distinguishing fen
ture of 1t was the general popularity OF the
bride. AS for the other things, they were
mostly card parties or a round OF lunch
cons and small affairs in honor of the
visiting girls and included the little coterie
of friends of the hostesses or of the honor
guests. This week ST. Valentine will wear
the crown and from Monday until Satur-
day society will employ the red heart, the
emblem OF the little god, to stamp It's
score cards. decorate its rooms and for

afternoon and evening reception. the an
nual birthday party of the association,
which will be given at the Elks' club on
that date. AS the association claims
among its membership many OF the most
prominent society women. the birthday
party promises to be a brilliant affair.
In fact, these women evidently intend to
see to 1t that 1t is, for many of the
fashionable women have discouraged other
hostesses entertaining on Washington's
birthday by announcing their intention to
decline all invitations that the Visiting
Nurses may have that day just as far
as can be arranged. One of the local
patriotic societies graciously conceded that
day to the Nurses for their annual recep-
ton, willing to cooperate to make this
great success possible. In speaking
of the reception an officer of the asso-
citation said: 1T Is not our wish to
monopolize washington's birthday, for We
appreciate that many hostesses would
naturally like to entertain then. but we

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY

The editor OF the woman's department
OF the Western Laborer. commenting edi-
torially upon last Mondays meeting Of
the social science department OF the wom-
ans club when the Consumers league label
and the trades union labels were discussed,
wonders II the club women understand that
the women's auxiliaries in the trades unions
are and have for several years past been
agitating and so creating the demand for
union made goods-union label goods-which
insure all and more than the white label OF
the Consumers league represents? Prob
ably the majority Of club women are not
familiar with the valiant work of the
wives Of union men or even that there Is
such a thing as union label or for what IL
stands, but they may be assured that the
club women are glad of such opportuni-
ties as last Monday afternoon afforded to
learn more about It and that theirs is
sympathetic interest II is evident, how
ever, that the members OF the womans
auxiliary and the representatives Of the
unions are little more familiar with the
work of the club. it's aims and accomplish
ments. than the club women are with them
and theirs. 1t is but natural that they
should wonder at the necessity of the
Consumers league, when all that IL guar
antees and more is included by the union
labels, and the question naturally follows
label they ally themselves with the Wom-
ems auxiliary in creating the demand for
union made goods.

There Is reason, and a good one, for
the existence Of the Consumers league and
why club women should support It, The
club movement is broad. so broad that II
takes in score of interests that concern
women in every stage and every degree of
society. The Woman's club exists no more
for philanthropic or altruistic work than
for music, art, literature or self-culture.
There are among its most prominent mem
bers women known the country over as
specialists in every branch and every ac-
tivity that pertains to or interests women,
and so the club. as a club, is in conse-
quence forced to keep to the conservative
middle ground that will not incur further
prejudice than already exists against the
activity of women outside OF the home to
accomplish the best results. The club, as
club, can not be partisan. and so 1t has
Stunned politics and like entanglements.

RICHES IN THE CARSON
RIVER SANObARs

In the early Comstock days but lit
tie attention was paid to the tailings.
The miners saved all they possibly
could of the rich ores in the mills.
but what got away in the tailings,
being deemed of secondary import
ance, was thought hardly worth the
extra trouble or cost of saving When
it is considered that the general aver
age of the milling returns in those
days was not over 60 to 65 per cent Of
the assay value, an approximate idea
-7'ay be formed of the values left n
or carried away by the mill tailings.
Vast amounts Of the richer and light
err chlorides, as well as quicksilver
and amalgam, washed away down the
canyons or were deposited by the
great mills themselves directly into
The Carson River Altogether it IS
estimated that such values are in ex-
cess OF $50 .OoO, 900 So far no feasible
means has been found of saving this
vast amount. Floured quicksilver can
be panaed or washed out anywhere
along the banks, bed. mud and sand
fats Of the river. and general assays
show from few cents to a dollar or
more per ton. but so far no dredging
process has been devised which can
profitahly overcome the expense Of
raising ard washing the wilderness of
sand. mud and gravel. BY the cyan
ide process some little of this great
waste is being recovered. but as yet
the greater part still remains for
