Just thought in recognition
of a fellow who seldom gets into
the newspaper.
He doesn't make much news.
He knows mighty little about
the "city ways" of making
money. He has fine liking for
clean financial methods and a
hearty scorn for all that is crook
ed. Perhaps it is his manner Of
living that makes him want to
be honest.
Let that man see problem
play, one of these things that
serve to satisfy the jaded appe-
tites of metropolitan people and
you'll find a splash of red on his
tanned cheek and he will wonder
how it is possible for women to
be present.
Tell him about bribery and
stock jobbing and franchise
stealing, and a few of the thou
sand forms Of gouging the pub
lie and you will Jar his faith in
the natural goodness of human
ity.
Just now this type of good
American c1tizen is following a
plow. 1t is hard work. 1t puts

lous on the hands. 1t calls for
brown overalls and Precipitation.
The man is happy in his work
He whistles as he trudges along
III the furrow. He clucks to the
horses and finds JOY in the free
dom Of his life. He doesen't go
into raptures over green fields
and singing brook and songs of
birds. They are a part of his
environment. They are routine,
but he loves them just the same,
He has an enormous burden on
his broad shoulders. He feeds
the world. He is the brother of
life itself He tolls long hours,
His primary object in working
IN his own welfare.
But he makes the world. He
makes existence possible He is
the head Of the procession in
which are marching the doctor,
the lawyer, the banker, the idler
He is the foundation Of wealth
and prosperity. He is the credi-
tor of humanity.
1t is well to. remember with
gratefulness this man in overalls,
who follows the plow and whis-
ties as the brown earth reveals
its richness and prepares to bring
forth the fruits ofthe feld:-Mos-

Old-Time Celebration.

Originally st. Valentines day was
characterized by the sending of seri-
GUS missives and confessions of love.
Lotteries were drawn and there were
ceremonies very much like forfeits
Mission. learned traveller of the last
century, gives a correct account OF
the early observance of the day: "On
the eve of st. Valentines day the
young folks in England and Scotland
by very ancient custom celebrate n
little festival. An equal number of
maids and bachelors get together,
each writes his true or feigned name
upon separate billets, which they roll
up and draw by way of lots. the maids
taking the mems. and the men the
maids billet. So that each of the
young men lights upon girl he calls
his valentine. and vice versa. BY this
means each has two valentines. but
the man sticks faster to the valentine
that has fallen to him than the one
to whom he is fallen. Fortune having
divided the company into so many
couples. the valentines give balls and
treats To their mistresses. wear their
billet several DAYS on their sleeves
or bosoms-and this little sport often
ends in love"
Gilpin observer., 1906-02-08

Many a poet has caught the charm
ing fancy and fixed it in enduring
rhyme. Some OF them are nameless,
yet their rhymes will go down to the
end Of time. sweetly associated with
the day of love.
These be the unknown poets, whose
works do live after them. But best
of all the tributes to the dear old
patriarch of love, is the essay "On
Saint Valentines Day." by dear,
homely Charles Lamb, he Of the cath

Great is thy name in the Rubric,

comest attended by thousands and

those little missives yclept valentines

postman sinks beneath a load of deli
