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 II
they failed to materialize. And, then,
at school there's hubbub of Glow
many did you get?''
Since lovers decided to share the
day with children, do your share for
the wee ones, at least. 8
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 diff
ferent color. She had gone to great
deal Of trouble to find out what each
girl was going to wear and had the
ribbons to match the dresses in a.
many cases as possible.
The men she made choose q color
and then sent them OF to find the
girls their ribbons matched. On the
front Of the cards were sketched, IN
pen and ink, two hearts, with IN
arrow through them. pinning them q.

Obituary..

John H. Dudley was born in Paris,
Maine, June 9Th, 1857, and died at
the residence of Mr.. Frank P. Shelley,
in Sedro, Woolley, on Sunday morn
ing, Sept. 10th, 1906, aged 4s years
and 4 months. The deceased came
to the state of Washington in July,
1906. For a little time he worked
in logging camp near Clear lake.
Sometime before coming here he was
troubled with disease of the stomach,
from which he died. The interment
was from Devener's undertaking par
lors and was conducted by,Rev. s. G..
Johnes. The deceased was unmarried,
his remaining relatives being Mrs.
Elliot of Paris, Maine, Mr.. ]. w.

postal service for the coming fiscal
year, included an increase of 81. 475. 600
for the rural delivery service but
somehow the amount for an increase
in the salaries of carriers was over
looked. There are now in the rural
delivery service SO, 437 carriers and OF
these more than 1000 are serving
routes from twenty-five to thirty
miles long. The time required to
complete trips, the cost Of horse hire
and the varying cost of horse food
makes plain to the Department that
the men are entitled to more money.
A new order affecting rural carriers
and residents nearby rural routes has
just gone into effect. 1t provides that
hereafter the delivery of mail by rural
carriers will be permitted to persons
not less than one-quarter OF mile
from post-offices at unincorporated
town or villages, provided such per-
sons will erect boxes conforming to
the requirements of the department
on rural routes officially laid out.
This will apply at both distributing
and intermediate Offices.
Visitors in Washington these days
are eager to obtain glimpse OF Miss
Ethel Roosevelt, the youngest
daughter of the President, as she
drives her new horse, Montauk,
hitched to a smart blackboard Of
natural wood, from the White House
to the Cathedral School for girls,
located far out in the country. Dressed
in close fitting tan jacket and wear
ing trim little black hat, this COM
ing "belle of the White House"
seated high in her cart and with feet
breced against the dash board, she has
complete mastery over her spirited
animal. Montauk is Virginia-bred
horse, deep brown in color, high
stopper, full of action and has an
intelligent eye.
Whether 1t is the unhealthy location
of the White House stables or the
fact that there are too many horses
belonging to the President accomo-
dated under one roof, the sleeper
owned by Miss Ethel, and the pony
belonging to her brother, Quentin,
are stabbed in rented building on
Seventeenth street not far from the
White House. Since the purchase
of Montauk, every member OF the
Presidents family now possesses
either driving or riding horse, but
never yet has the entire family been
seen at one time together on the
public streets or roads

InDrOv OF Internal
Waterways

New Orleans Dec. l4.-LouiS-
lana delegates returning from the
Washington Rivers and HarbOrs
conference report an immense la.
rational impulse given the am
bilious movement to secure rG-
dical Improvement Of internal
waterways. The Mississippi Val
ley, which includes the valleys of
all tributaries, is far more deep
ly interested in this movement
than is any other section of the
country. A 14-foot channel
from the Great Lakes through
the Illinois River will do more
to solve many of the vexing
railroad problems than all the
legislation possible at this time
1t would again open up river
traffic on huge scale and IN a
little while would give great i'm
petus to the export trade OF the
Valley and Southern States.
Even now the various steamship
lines plying out Of New Orleans
are increasing their facilities IN
anticipation of a very rapid de
velopment of the trade with the
South and Central American
Countries. Twenty-sevrn or more
states are directly interested in
the Improvement of the internal
waterways within the Mississippi
Valley alone and Congress
will hardly be IN position to
restrict the demands they WI
make. Commercial New Iork
will probably be the most serious
opponent encountered

Mr.. King was a creditor at that
time, having bought note Of

place, paid the creditors, and then
leased the place to the old man
