ST. VALENTINES DAY.
Attractive Display of Seasonable
Tokens at Boston House.

1Oh6uS dI IoOSIOA 3ooSOs
The valentine exhibit Of Woodward &
Lothrop is attracting much attention from
those who regularly at this season Of the
year select some dainty token to show
their appreciation of the friendship OF an
other. There will be no disappointment
for any one in search of a valentine If they
but tarry at the valentine counter Of the
Boston House and take the trouble to
look over the assortment. 1t Is systemati-
cally arranged so that one will have no
difficulty at all in determining just what
one wants.
There are the valentines for the small
child, which. while they are in colors. are
not of the types that are Objectionable to
many persons but are prints of such
characters as Buster Brown" each of
which bears some droll saying that is
good for the childish mind to ponder over.
Then come the higher grades for the young
man who is hunting just what the girl of
his choice wants. The glove cases, as we'll
as those for her wells, and numerous other
equally as convenient, will be lasting
remembrance of "the one who sent it,
One type of valentine that seems to be
having more tina nthe usual share Of popu-
larity Is the burnt leather one. The Boston
House management, with characteristics ousi-
ness energy has apparently set the pace In
this line. One may buy the postal made
of leather, and while one waits q young
lady will take the burning needle and
write the message desired.
In this line of the sale of the valentines
a large business has been done, as all of
the cards are popular priced and each
represents individuality About the coun-
ters and suspended until they form at
tractive festoons are a great variety of
valentines for the inspection of the buyers.
The window Of the 18th street side is
tastefully decorated, and as the spectators
walk along the naVpO1ant thew pet a view
of an immense assortment. This window
display speaks well for the designers as
it is in many ways unique in its artistic
beauty.

TWO MILES A MINUTE.
Marvellous Speed in Coming Auto
Races Predicted

The marvellous speed of two miles min
ute for an automobile is predicted as an
accomplishment for some of the coming
race NEE s. What development in hustl1ng
this means Is apparent by reference to
the figures of the accepted worlds record
for one mile on a straight course, which are
"a % seconds made by Mr.. Arthur McDon-
AID in an English built Napier racer. This,
however, has been beaten by Mr. H. l..
Bowden OF Boston, whose overweight Fly
ing Dutchman' travelled one mile in the
wonderfully short period of 80 4-5 seconds.
In making this time Mr.. Bowden's car was
driven by two sixty horsepower engines
coupled together. But unfortunately the
record was not accepted as standard, as
the "Flying Dutchman" exceeded the inter-
national heavy weight limit of 2,2o4 pounds.

ing Congress.
Unfavorable report will be made by the
Commissioners on the bill which was in
troduced In the House on January 10 MAX
ing it unlawful in the District of Column
bia to use, in hunting birds or animals of
any kind any so-called automatic shot
gun holding more than two cartridges at
one time, or that may be fired more than
twice without reloading.
Corporation counsel has advised that the
projected statute would conflict with the
provisions of the bill recently Endorsed by
the Commissioners, the terms of which, If
made into a law, will prohibit the killing
or trapping Of birds and small game with
in the limits of the District.

MEETS WITH DISPAVOR
BILL CHANGING FORM OF DIS
TRIcT GOVERNMENT.
Commissioners See No Reason for It's
Enactment-Say It is Not
Demanded.

The Commissioners of the District or
Columbia do not look with favor upon the
proposition to increase the membership or
their board from three to five, as contem-
plated by the provisions of the bill intro
duced into the Senate on January "a by
Senator Scott, and they have SO stated In
their report upon the measure to Senator
J. H. Gallnger, chairman of the Senate
District committee. The Scott bill pro-
vides. among other things, that within
sixty days after the passage of this act the
board of Commissioners of the District OF
Columbia shall consist of FIVE persons,
three of whom shall be residents of said
District at the time of their appointment
owners Of real estate and taxpayers, and
one of whom shall be an officer of the En-
gineer Corps of the United States army, but
not more than three of such persons APP
pointed from civil life shall be of the same
political party.
THAT in all matters wherein said board
may be divided in opinion, the Engineer
Commissioner and the civilian member OF
such board not appointed as a resident OF
said District shall, acting Jointly, deter
mine the same, and which determination
shall be controlling.
Adverse Views Expressed.
That the incumbents of the office see
danger in the provisions Of the bill which
specifies that the civilian member of the
board, not a resident of the District, and
the Engineer Commissioner, acting Jointly,
shall determine, and therefor control the
board In all matters where division or
opinion may occur, is amply evidenced IN
the course of their report on the projected
measure, which follows:
The organic act of June H. 1878. which
Is, according to it's title, to provide per-
manent form of government for the District
of Columbia, and has been called by the Su-
preme Court of the United States the con-
stitution of the District of Columbia,
ought not to be materially amended except
for very grave reasons. This is particularly
true of its fundamental provisions. one OF
which is that the majority of the ComInis-
sioners of the District of Columbia shall be
residents of that District who have not
claimed residence elsewhere for three years.
at would be in derogation of the principle
of seK-government and the best interests or
the District to leave questions of policy IN
the administration of the affairs of the
District to the determination of men who
were not residents of the District. the
Commissioners also believe that three is as
large q number as should be found in any
such executive body. The Commissioners
are unable to see that the enactment Of the
bill in question is called for by any impera-
tive reason; they know of no desire among
the people of the District of Columbia for
the enactment of such legislation, and they
are therefore constrained to recommend
that it be acted upon adversely"

DEFICIENT FACULTIES.
Do What You Can to Develop and
Strengthen Them.

Few people are well balanced, well
rounded. A great many have splen-
did ability in certain lines, good ed
ucation, fine training and yet have
some deficiency in their makeup
which cripples the whole life and
dwarfs the results Of their utmost
industry, Many Of us have some
little, contemplate weakness which
offsets our strong qualities and ruins
their effectiveness.
What pity to see giant in pos
sibility tied down by some little,
contemplate weakness which Grip
Piles what might have been mag
nificent career! If parent or teach
er would only point out to child
weakness which perhaps will be ia
tai if not remedied and teach it
how to guard against it, how to
strengthen the defective quality by
mental exercise, what tremendous
help it would give to the child, per-
haps preserving it from failure!
1t is pitiable to see young man
bowling to what he calls fate, which
he thinks has been fixed by the con-
tour of his brain or in his hereditary
tendencies. Why should we drag
our weaknesses through life when a
little common sense, little right
thinking in fixing new habits of
thought, will soon remedy them?
If you are conscious of mental
weakness, a deficient faculty, using
little concentration, thinking in
the opposite direction and dwelling
upon the perfect faculties you de-
sire would soon put you in nor
NAL condition. 1t is normal think
ing that makes the normal life.
But if you leave your weak fac
ulties alone-do not exercise them,
do not try to enlarge them, do not
think it worth while-how can you
expect them ever to become strong
You cannot develop symmetrical
body by simply exercising the arms,
The same is true of the mental fac
ulties. Those which are not used
deteriorate. If you long for thing
and strive for it with all your might
persistently enough and long enough
you cannot help approximating it,
You must get what you wish in some
degree.-Success.

Convincing Evidence,

In the Afghan war of 1873 some
British forces under the late Sir
Montagu Gregory came upon the
only Sikh temple in Afghanistan
and heard >the story of the laying
of its cornerstone from member
of the gallant warrior tribe.
A Sikh who had saved the life Of
the ameer then reigning had re-.
ceiyed permission to erect shrine.
One Of the native prophets was in
vited to be present at the laying of
the cornerstone of the building; but,
being unable to accept, he sent four
bricks, one for each corner of the
temple, and the message, Il will be
with you in the spirit"
To make as urance doubly sure
the prophet explained that by the
sound of the rushing of horses
through the air the people on the
scene might time the arrival of him
self and his disciples.
did you hear them?" inquired
Sir Montagu at this point Of the
Sikh's recital.
