gRITTLE GEORGE wanted to send
~ some one valentine, and when
" his mother suggested that he
might mail one to his father he met
the suggestion with enthusiasm. She
went with him to the store where
they were sold and he finally selected
one-a hideous caricature of man
with large bald head. 1t so hap
pened that Georgie's papa was bald,
and for that reason the little boy
thought the one selected would be
very appropriate. 1t was accordingly
placed in an envelope and addressed
in large printed letters by George
himself to his parent. OF course,
when the father came upon it in his
mail he recognized the scrawl of the
writer and chuckled at his small sons
deep craft. That night when he ar
rived home the father had forgotten

20 LOTTERS make pretty valentines
2D if artistically treated. AS a
foundation cut piece of blot
ting paper three inches by twelve.
Make several sheets of the same size
and cover the upper one with crepe
paper of good tint. Over the crepe
paper lay a heavier paper of a con-
trasting tone from which has been
cut scroll design, through the open
ings of which the crepe paper will
show. Outline the edges and scrolls
with gilt and tie all together with a
small bow at one end. The heavier
paper may cover only one end of the
blotter leaving the crepe paper plain
beyond except for the design of gilt
which follows the edge.
A small memorandum tablet may be
made quite dainty enough for valen-
tine. Take piece of heavy card
board and paste a small block of
leaves one side of the center. Punch
holes near the top on each side
through which to tie ribbon for hang

about the valentine The littls boy
wondered why his father did not men
ton it. Finally, at the tea table, he
asked:
Papa, did you get valentine to-
day."
Eyes, I did, said the father, feign-
ing to be angry, "and I'd like to know
who sent me that horrid picture Of q
bad-headed man! If find out, tell
you there will be troubled"
George took his fathers simulated
anger in real earnest and seemed
greatly disturbed by the turn affairs
had taken, but did not say any more
about the valentine. After the meal
he followed his mother into the
kitchen and whispered to her:
Mamma" he said, craftily, Il think
we better not tell him about th' val
entine until his hair grows out again."

CIT IS the little things that add joy
81 and lightness to daily living. Re-
membering birthdays and ami
versaries and sending a valentine to
friend when the annual feast of the
amiable old saint comes round in the
calendar are little acts which help
along happiness and keep alive the
flame of affection. The husband of 20
years who mails a modest lace paper
heart to his wife on his way home the
night before, and then watches her
futtering delight as she opens her
mail the next morning keeps alive a
tender feeling of sentiment that
amooths the rough places of daily liv-
Ing. The wife who sends a valentine
TO her husband is more than repaid
for tie recollection of tenderness.

OF course the young folk keep the
festival in mind. But there is no rea-
son why the little god Of first love
should monopolize all the joys of it..
The valentine sent for friendships
sake ofttimes contains a deeper feel
ing than that sent in the enthusiasm
of young fancy. Sorry Is the day
when we feel too old to send valen-
tine or cease to get merriment out Of
the occasion. Don't forget the little
folks Does anyone recall the time
when the day passed and the mail
brought valentines for everyone but
you? What a heartache followed on
that bit of carelessness. So spend
this evening cutting paper hearts and
writing jingles and remembering all
your friends.

MINNESOTA NEWS
Interesting Items Gathered In the
Gopher State
LARGE LAND BUSINESS.

st. Paul.-During the last ten years
the land business Of the state Of Min
nesota has more than trebled and the
total volume of the financial transac-
dons of the state have nearly doubled.
This is demonstrated by surprising
statistics prepared by Samuel G. Iver-
son, state auditor, relative to the busi-
ness of his Office For the two years
ending july 81, 1896, the end of the
fiscal year, the total accumulation from
state lands and credited to the differ
ent trust funds, was s737,S94.65; for
the two years ending July 81, 1906, it
was s2,239,9 ,905.S2.
For the two years ending July 81,
1895, the total cash received was $10,-
S09,S12.2S and the total amount dis
bursed during the period was $10,539,-
751. For the two years ending July 81,
1906, the total amount received was
s1s,651, ,114.07, the total amount dis
bursed. was $19,507,532.62.
Since the formation of its state gov
ernment, Minnesota has never gone
through a year without having a ball
ance to the states credit at the end of
the year. In 1860 this record came near
being broken, as the balance at the end
of the year was only $675.78. The year
1899 was the one when the state came
out with the largest balance ever
shown by the auditors ledger Ex-
elusive of money carried over from the
previous year, it then totaled s2,607,-
1887.
