Hubbard, Feb. 17.-One of the social
events of the season occurred Wes-
nesday afternoon when Mrs. M. G. Nix
and Mrs. H r. Long entertained the
Ladies' Reading Circle and a few
friends at the latter's home in a novel
manner at a st. Valentine party from
2:3O to 5. The guests were received
at the door by Mrs Nix and directed
upstairs and upon returning were
each given candy heart as favor
and ushereo into the parlors where
they were given a hearty welcome by
Mrs. Long The invitations having
called for an original valentine, the
valentines were then read, exhibited
and collected and Mrs. Carter was
awarded a boquet of red carnations
for producing the most meritorious
valentine. A heart hunt had been pre-
pared, 125 cardboard hearts being hid
den about the rooms and being worth
from So to Sc, each, to be redeemed with
one bean for each dollar and the candy
hearts given them at the door valued
at $40, provided they had not eaten
them. A number of prizes in neat
boxes were then put up at auction
and sold to the highest bidder with
the bean money. The bidding was very
interesting and animated some of the
boxes selling as high as $40 to $50.
Upon opening the boxes they were
found to contain various articles, in
Guiding silverware, china, French pic
lures, direct from France? bon bons
and vegetables. A large red heart was
then brought to view and each guest
was given paper arrow, and blind
folded, and requested to pin the arrow
on the center of the heart. Mrs.
Greenfield received a fancy valentine
as a prize for being the most accurate
in the contest. The rooms were then
filled with dainty tables decorated with
red paper hearts, and the guests We're
requested to find their places at the
tables, their names being written on
small sealed envelopes, the names APP
peared more like Chinese puzzle than
their original names. A three-course
luncheon was, served by Alice Strother,
Aleta Buck, Blen and Fay Andrews,
red carnations being given for favors.
The guests were requested to remain
seated at the tables and upon opening
the envelopes were told each contain
ed a paste board heart cut in various
shapes which they were to place to-
gether in the shape of perfect heart.
A fancy valentine was given Mrs. H.
u. Swallum for replacing the heart in
the shortest length of time. The guests
then departed, declaring themselves
delightfully."- entertained.

ment Egypt has been aptly compared
to a farm that is being worked on
shares. When England forcibly took
possession she agreed to give the 9TH
er bond-holders a look into the ma
uonal cash box, and a proportionate
share of the receipts. France, Ger
many, Russia, Austria and italy all
have representatives in Cairo to see
what is going on-they go to consid-
cradle trouble to guarantee a square
deal among themselves, but poor
Egypt foots the bills 2 The total
amount of Egypt's Indebtedness, in
which they are all interested, is $780,
100000. and the annual interest on this
sum is $19,000,o0O which is divided be-
tween them according to their respec-
tive holdings.
The annual cost of conducting the
Egyptian government is $50, 900 900.
The annual tribute paid to the Sui
tan amounts to So 500 0o0 while the
khedive draws a little over million
dollars to maintain himself and his
family. Besides all this there is the
cost of supporting the army, as well
as providing for civil and military
pensions About half of this sum is
raised from a land tax imposed on
farmers who work for from fifteen to
twenty cents day. The soil is very
fertile, but extremely limited in area,
so that the people are crowded onto
1t at the rate of nine hundred to the
square mile. The per capita debt is
about sixty dollars-a fearful obliga-
ton for people who are so poor.

done nothing toward training the

While the British administration has
undoubtedly benefited Egypt in a
great many ways, that fact alone does
not give England the right to continue
, in permanent occupation of the coun-
| try. The Englishman is generally a
capable and honest administrator, but
this in itself does not elect him the
guardian of the universe. His ability
to make bonds pay interest is not suf-
ficient cause for him to take and hold
any territory that he considers in need
of his particular skill. Any fairminded
observer will admit that the English
have a genius for converting disturb
ances into dividends. But by what
means? And after that what can be
said?
HOW THE EMPIRE GROWS.
When England took possession OF
Egypt it was announced by a procla-
nation that the object of Her Males
tvs government in sending troops to
the country is to establish authority of
the Khedive. England, by her
interference in Egypt, is seeking no
territorial advantage nor the enjoy
ment of any exclusive privilege" The
announcement was also made that the
army of occupation would be with
drawn as soon as order had been re-
stored and the date set for its depar-
ture within six months. What hap
pened? Instead of restoring the
Khedive to authority the English
brazenly supplanted him and he is
still a fgure-head. The territorial
advantage" enjoyed by Great Britain
in dominating the Suez Canal and the
valley of the Nile is obvious. 1t has !
been twenty-five years since the time
appointed for the withdrawal of the
troops and there is still no sign of
their going. And the methods employ
ed by this strong nation in imposing

Quoted by the Right Rev. Henry Ga
briefs. bishop of Ogdensburg, N. Y,
and John j. McGran of Brooklyn, n. Y.
The pontiff, who is enjoying excel
lent health, recalled that Immediately
after his election the first pilgrimage
he received was composed of Ameri-
cans and was presented by Cardinal
Gibbons.
Bishop Gabriels read an address in
which he said Catholicism was max
ing rapid strides in the United States,
due to the complete freedom which the
church enjoyed and the good will of
the American civil authorities Bishop
Gabriels quoted President Roosevelt as
saying to him on learning that the
bishop was to conduct a pilgrimage to
Rome:
Tell the pope that I sent him my
profound regards. l have tried to treat
Professionals and Catholics alike, as my
latest appointments show. / will try
to perpetuate this policy. This repub-
lie will stand for many a century.
expect that there will be Catholic pres
idents as well as Protestants. I trust
that they all will treat each other as l
have tried to do"
The pope thanked the bishop most
warmly, expressing his great love for
the United States and his very high
est esteem of President Roosevelt The
pontiff also presented the leaders of
the pilgrimages with medals and con-
scented to be photographed in the group
of pilgrims.
