was once riding at night on the rear
end OF his private car when his train
passed over long wooden trestle.

utes before, and Mr. lin remembered
he had given orders that after the
passing of all trains over this trestle
track patrolman should go over the
structure with "A bucket Of water aud
extinguish any embers that might have
fallen from the locomotive. Though
the Hill special was going along at
forty miles an hour, the alert eye OF
the president caught sight Of hole In
the bottom of the bucket as the watch
man In the moonlight threw the vessel
over one shoulder. Mr.. Hill ordered
the train back 10 the trestle and sum
moned the Waterman TO him.
my man, you are TO the Great North
ern company just what that hole Is TO
the bucket you carry-a good deal
worse than useless. You may throw
the bucket away and look for another

St. Valentine.

St. Valentine. preSbyter and martyr unlike many saints who are specially remembered. did nothing which could have suggested the manner in which his day Is celebrated. IL was his for tune to suffer martyrdom (he was beaten with a club and then beheadedl at a time when the heatheuS of south ern Europe were accustomed to observe the return of spring. The quick eyes of those dependent upon sunlight for warmth learned to note and welcome every indication of the approaching season. They watched the birds. and when they saw them mating and mak- ing love they were minded to do the same. and so strong was the habit that as with Christmas day, the good fathers did not attempt to root out the custom. but to connect it with some holy name and St. Valsntne's day of martyrdom fitted very nearly to that time.
