Another clever arrangement is
to secure unmounted photographs
of the couple and cut the back
ground from the heads. These
are mounted on pink or green
cards so as to appear as though
growing from a large scarlet
heart. A photographer friend of
the couple can secure pictures
that will answer every purpose,
and some clever poses can be Sc
cured.
Valentine souvenirs can also be
made for the guests by using
photographed heads on silhouette
bodies which depict some fad or
popularity of the recipient. For
instance, woman is particularly
fond of dogs; have the dog and
body of woman cut from black
paper, the canine being fondly
held in the arms, and let it be of
large proportions.

At luncheon given last Feb
ruary, the strawberry ice cream
was nodded in hearts, by the ca
terers. They were wrapped in
paraffine paper and then fled with
pink ribbons in dainty rose and
silver paper. Each was passed on
a plate, and a genuine surprise
was given when unwrapped.

John T. REDMON maintains stoutly that he is

who ever ran an engine upside down. He had
his reward; for he read his obituary IN the
newspapers and also discovered many things about

Cinnati with passenger train behind consisting of
a baggage and five coaches filed with three hun
dred recruits who were to be conveyed to Camp
Dennison, twenty-sX miles west. 1t had been
ranged to start the train at six M but just before
that hour the president of the railroad, whose home
was at Morrowtown, received information that
General John III. Morgan and his band of Confederate
rough riders in the vicinity, which would make
the trip exceedingly perious
At first he declined to allow the train to proceed,
but after heated arguments with the officer
who was in charge of the new men he gave re-
luCtant consent.
All went well for the eighteen miles to Loveland,
New-York tribune., 1907-08-11

where the double track to Cincinnati began; but at
this point they learned that the telegraph wires had
been cut and that 1t was regarded certain that
Morgan and his men not far away. Here the
president declared that the trip must end 1t was, he
said, nothing less than criminal folly To think of
tnuing. In this opinion he was supported by leading
citizens OF LOveand, who positive that the line
between their town and Camp Dennison must have
been cut
But the headStrong recruits, anxious to reach
camp and become real soldiers, would not hear of

appealing and insulting. He was accused of coward

to make the trip. he had permission to do SO. but
the president would not order him TO go TO what
most probably would be his death. 1t not
very pleasant position for the engineer but he was
accustomed take risks and amid the cheers of the
recruits he gave the word for all to get aboard.
Naturally courageous, and determined to the
end of the adventure the head of the railroad clam
bered into one of the coaches, and the hazardous
journey resumed.
