TO MAKE THE JUNIORS HAPPY
Valentines Always Welcomed by the
Little Ones.

If you know any children, send them
valentines-aS quaint ones, brimming
over with nonsense and fun, as you
can find. And send to every child you
know-there never was a youngster
yet who didn't look forward to getting
them, and be bitterly disappointed If
they failed to materialize. And, then,
at school there's a hubbub of How
many did you get?'
Since lovers decided to share the
day with children, do your share for
the wee ones, at least.
One girl hit upon clever way of
having partners chosen by making her
own dance cards, which had the pen.
ellis tied to them, each two with a DIFF
ferent color. She had gone to a great
deal of trouble to find out what each
girl was going to wear and had the
ribbons to match the dresses in as
many cases as possible.
The men she made choose a color
and then sent them off to find the
girls their ribbons matched. On the
front of the cards were sketched, in
pen and ink, two hearts, with an
arrow through them, pinning them to-
gether, and verses.
That on the girls cards was:
'Mong the merry lads assembled here
There one whose ribbon matches
thine;
Cupid viii bring him to thee, dear,
To be this eve thy valentine.
On those for the men:
'Mong the merry maids assembled here
There's one whose ribbon matches
thine:
Go seek her out and she shall be,
For all this eve. thy valentine.
And Cupid played great havoc that
night

An engaged girl once made the mis-
take of bidding her fiance good night
on a part of the piazza which was so
lighted as to throw their shadows
clearly on the snow. On Feb. IA, to
her amazement, she received repre-
sentations of that good night in sill
houettes, water color and pen and ink
drawings, all SO we'll done that the
participants could not be mistaken.

To Far From the Market.

Soon after the Civil war, Gen. Rufus
ingalls,, u. S. A., visited friend in
the South. Taking a walk one morn
ing, he met boy coming up from tho
river with a fine string of fish.
What will you take for your fish,"
asked the general.
Thirty cents" was the reply.
Thirty cents!" repeated the gener.
al. in astonishment. "Why, if you were
in New York you could get So for
them"
The boy looked critically at the ofil-
Ger for a moment, and then said scorn-
fully:

bucket Of water in hell I could get a
million Tor it."-Judge's Magazine OF

Have Much Fun Every Fourteenth
Day Of February.

If it were not for the college girls
ST Valentine would be in danger of
becoming a cad, but they regard him
as huge joke and jolly him unmerci-
fully. They do not let his day go by
unnoticeo.
On the contrary they herald it with
JOY and make great preparations for
It, but there is hardly a bit of senti-
ment in their worship. For three or
four weeks before the 14th of Febru-
ary, huge signs appear on the bulletin
boards in the dormitories, soliciting
orders for valentines, for the girls
deft fingers seize the opportunity to
make a little money and the girls who
have money are quite ready to pay for
an original valentine.
And a college valentine must be
original above everything else. Some
times the girl with money supplies
the idea and the deft-fingered girl
works it out
The character of these valentines is
mostly in the way of a grind and it is
carried out by every conceivable de-
vice; by water colors, by sketches, by
poems, by ircongruous articles.
OF course there is the little fresh
man who feels bound to send her SEN
aor "crush," flowers and confection-
ary, but the true college valentine is
a sharp dig. Woe to the girl who
has Obtrusive mannerisms, for she Will
Jokes are never hateful. Cupid re.
Iceives some attention, but it is of
the frivolous sort for he is jeered and
Sneered at.
Contrary to popular opinion, college
girls give and take knocks" as good
naturedly as do college boys, and the
lazy girl who receives a bunch of fire
crackers on st. Valentines day laughs
heartily It the joke.
The girl with = big ambition to join
one of the societies, an ambition
which she has been trying to conceal,
Is little startled when she receives

A clever valentine sent one year to

Her Valentine.
Beneath the spread of Valentines
A song unnoticed lay;
Yet too suggestive We're it's lines
For fate to h lie away.
Some careless Land disclosed to view
Its message, as a prayer,
"For Old Times sake" nor ever knew
1t left blessing there.
For deep within each heart there lies
The germ of precious seed;
And wistful, tender. grew the eyes
OF one who CHANGED to read
The pleading words For Old Times
sake"
With pathos and with pain.
Sad mem ries in her breast did wake
That night not sleep again.
For through the years there seemed to
sift
Bright thoughts of other days.
Until there came the little rift
Where friends walked separate ways,
The heart owns what the lip denies,
Held close by Pride's stern fingers,
And softly sings: True love neer
dies"
It's answering echo fingers.
And so at last, for Old Times sake.
The one wrote words full tender,
Despite a vow she once did make.
Since none would know the sender:
The other read that valentine,
Nor guessed that tears and kisses
Were fairly mingled in each line
BY one whose name she misses.

BIG FIGHT ON
ANTI-PASS
AMENDMENT
Senator Elkins
Took Firm Stand

Especial TO the West VirSinian)
WASHINGTON. D. C.. June 5.-1t
is definitely known that she biggest
fight made in the conference on the
rate bill was that Of Senator Elkins
to prevent the agreement on an anti.
pass amendment eliminating the rail.
road employees from the privilege OF
being given free transportation The
conference committee voted TO cut on
all passes. Senator Elllins took the
ground that the amendment adopted
n the Senate should be retained. He
thinks that all classes excepted from
the operation of the amendment should
he accepted from first TO last He
stood out for it Particularly did he
fight for the railroad employees. He
holds that transportation for employees
and their families is part OF their
compensation and that to prohibit
them from receiving it is an act OF
the rankest injustice. There are some
i 200, 600 families of railroad employees
in the country and all of them Will be
seriously affected by the action OF
the conference. Senator E1kinS Will
continue to fight against the final pas
sage of the amendment and he has
some hopes OF succeeding yet in hav'
ing the agreement so modified as to
allow railroad men and their families
free transportation He regards 1t as
the greatest piece of injustice done TO
railroad employes in the history o!
Congress.
