Just why the jute industry of Great
Britain should have centered in Dun
dec, Scotland, is not apparent, but
such is the fact. 1t began there in
a small way in 1910, and now 40, 200

in and around Dundee. In 1904 Great
Britain imported $21 900, 900 worth of

Five valentines there were and a neat
letter with a typewriter address. This
she left till the last and opened the big
envelope. There was a pretty, trem-
ulous smile on her lips and a lovely
color OF her cheeks.
But both smile and color faded as the
valentine was exposed to view. 1t was
the most stereotyped and vulgar of
all that ilk of missives. with fat Cupids.
doves and loves and forgetmenots.
Opening the lace work, she found a
highly colored picture of a young lady
each larger than the young lady's head,
while at the end of the bank a young
nan with Il curled p%ompadour, red
cheeks, black mustaches, blue coat and
pink trousers knelt, holding a card on
which was neatly printed.
Why should I blush to own my love?
IT'S love that rules the realms above.
Why should I blush to say to all
Thy beauty holds my heart in thrall?
"Oh, the horrid thing. Who could
have sent this? Norman could not have
done it. 1t is awful. simply awful. Oh.
here is a name - Melville S|tarkins,
Who is he? Oh, | remember-that silly
fool that bothered me so at Lbs last
week. Well! How dared heF"
Amy opened the other valentines.
Two were from her small brother and
sister, comic. naturally. and one was

waved Just like the curly maple. and
the lights that fell upon it made it lit
orally shine. No wonder that Norman
had lost his heart in the sunny tangles.
She was also trying to decide upon the
dress she would wear that evening. for
surely Norman would come up. Yes,
he might possibly come up to talk with
her father and mother Her eyes were
bright with anticipation. and she kept
wondering what kind of Il valentine he
was going to send her. The possibili-
ties thought of by Amy that day would
have startled Norman had he known
them
It was the longest day Amy had ever
known. 1t seemed to her that he
hands were stopped on all the time
pieces in the house. She dressed for
dinner at 4 O'Clock, knowing that it
would not be ready until /. In her hair
she placed n small kno of purple vio-
lets. remembering that Norman had
once SAID when she wore violets in her
hair that it reminded him of the sun
rise, al, purple and gold. Another
bunch was fastened at her slender
waist, and she confessed to herself that
she would do. That means much when
a girl says it of herself.
Half ashamed of her haste, she took
off the dainty white Grape dress and
slipped on her kimono and sat down
in an easy chair, determined that she
would not make such Il silly goose Of
herself, and, saying that, she fell asleep
and never woke until half past 5. Such
a catastrophe! Could she ever get
dressed in time?
But she did and had two minutes to
spare, which time she employed look
ing at her dimpled chin to see if the
dimple was as attractive as ever. And
then her heart stopped beating and she
knew she was going to die.
But, no it was only some men bring
ing in a heavy square basket. She
crept back into her room and deter
mined to remain there until the valen-
tine should come. Just then her little
brother called:
.'Amy, Amy, come down! There's
something here for you! Come quick!
1t is aliye!"
Ally went Will Il ruSn. WHAT IL II
should be a dear, beautiful English
bulldog! Norman knew she wanted
one. A big, square hamper stood in the
hall, and her mother, father, brother
and sister were all there too. The but
Ter, seeming a mystery, united and cut
the ropes that bound it and then, lift
ing the lid, stood back. AS he did so
Norman fried In rise gracefully from
the cramped position he had held. but
instead he overturned the hamper and
sprawled on the floor. Mr.. Ventnor and

Harold laughed loud and long. and the
butler nearly strangled because he held
his breath so as not to be guilty of
laughing before the family. Norman
laughed a little, but rose to his feet,
saying,
Miss Amy, this is your valentine. l
beg you to accept it. Its name is Nor
man Valentine Selfridge."
Amy was the color of the reddest
roses in the seedsmen's list and abso-
lutely speeches.. Mr.. Nentnor said:
James, you may remove the en-
yelope."
Later as they sat alone in the parlor
after dinner Amy said:

"What, Amy-what was horrid?'

Amy stamped her foot. Then she read:

ceive this it will be st. Valentines day.

neither ink nor pen, so was obliged to use
the machine or miss the post. N. V. S.
All, now the sun shone and the birds
sang again, But, after all, why should
she feel so elated? Norman was moth
ing to her but just simply an old friend.
But, even so, it isn't pleasant to have
YOU old friends forget you or dictate
to pretty typewriters. There must be
one at his Office or there would not be
ii machine there. Amy wondered if
she were blond or brunette. Was she
old or young, pretty or ugly?
But Amy went singing to her break
fast, to kiss her indulgent father after
she had opened the fifth envelope, to
find a forid little valentine from the
butler with the wish that she might
have many happy returns of the day.
She laughed again and flew to he din
ing room, where her sweet and gentle
mother and her father awaited her.
The mother as she kissed Amy gave
her a beautiful pearl ring, saying:
Let your life be as pure and lovely,
my daughter"
I've only to follow your example,
MOTHER" said Amy, with happy tears
very near her eyes. Then the children
came i IN with their valentines, and that
created a diversion.
After breakfast Mr.. Ventnor said as
he took the little hand that was smooth
ing what was left of his hair.
well, daughter, did you get many

from the butler, wishing me many hap

choke.

The father felt perplexed somehow,
for it was only the day before that
Norman had called upon him at his
office. "Well, let the young folks set

as he put on his hat and went down
town.

Narrow Escape of Lincoln's Father

There are times when a moment lost
might change the destinies of nations.
For example, there was a time when
Thomas Lincoln, the father of Abra-
ham, was in danger of his life by In
dams. His father had just been killed.
and one of the savages was in the act
of killing the son when an older brother
Of Thomas shot the redskin. 1t is in

Bacon was guide and took his guests

that he hoped to have the pleasure of
carrying flowers for each one at a
later date. Then the gas works were
inspected and the visitors were in
formed that while the rate was high,

the letters Y. M. G. A. on the Fifth

that they had been put up for return

Peculiar Accident.

A singular accident occurred on the
Northern Pacific yesterday, to No. 3 at
Geneva. The engine and four cars
left the track from the spreading of
switch which was caused by brass
coupling torn from the bose on a pass
ing engine tank becoming caught in
frog and spreading the points of the
switch. The engine which caused the
trouble had passed over the track IA
short time previously and was being
dead-headed over the division. The
brass coupling was smashed and
wedged in tightly between the point
of the switch and the rail. No one
was hurt by the accident which de-
layed the train considerably owing to
the cold weather and slowness with
which wrecking operations were to be
done. 1t is the first accident of that
kind which railroad men remember to
have occurred on this line
