FRIDAY WILL BEVAlENTINE DAY;
cUPlD'S BUSY TIME.
This Holiday Does Not Seem to Die
Out, the Rush at Postoffice Hos
Begun.

Friday next will be Valentine day,
and everyone who goes about the local
shops doubtless are made well aware
of the fact as there is an eager rush
on every side for the counters where
the glittering, brilliant outlay of val
entines are displayed to tempt the
eye and the purse of the ardent swain
bent upon securing for his lady the
very prettiest one that was to be had.
From the rush which prevails
therefore, it is natural to conclude
that this holiday, at least, is one of
the old ones which is not dying out,
and the romantic halo which encircles
it seems to possess the. same quaint
charm and attraction as ever.
Some of the prettiest designs are
in the nature of hand painted posters,
of a convenient size and moderate
price, which may be used for orna-
mental purposes in den or coy cor
ner with splendid effect This in
novation has met with great popular
favor, and numbers of the poster
valentines are being disposed of lib
orally on every side.
"But it's the postal valentine which
is the real big noise this year," said
a clerk in one of the down town
stores. Hundreds of them have been
received in stock in all manner OF
quaint and picturesque designs and
they are selling like hot cakes al
most wholly succeeding the little lace
paper things with hearts and flowers
painted in the middle of them, which

COLONEL NEFF OBSERVED
Lake Crystal Editor Tells Of What He
Saw in Mankato.

Lake Crystal Union: We made a
short business trip to Mankato Sat
urday afternoon. We intended to 60
on the l2:4O train but was ten min
utes shy of that time and never
reached Mankato until the sun was
going down behind Minneopa park.
The train was crowded The ladies'
basket ball team of Madelia high
school was aboard and they were
going to Mankato to play a team of
ladies in that city.
Madelia prides herself on her bas-
ket ball team. It's good one. 1t
has won every contest so far this
year. We came in contact with the
chaperon at eX-Sheriff Williams res
taurant and we noticed what broad
and expansive brow he had. He could
tell in an instant by a side glance
we had got hold of the wrong cap,
after supper, and went right along
with his eating and conversation as
though nothing had happened. A club
of this kind can never be beaten.
Right here will not be out of place
to say word for Ben. Williams
restaurant. The place was crowded
and they tell us it is so every time
we go to Mankato. You get a good,
square meal at this place and the
service is prompt without any back
talk
Brother Hart invited us to supper
with him but as we were not up-to-
date in etiquette and had not our
dress suit along, respectfully declined
the offer. Some other time will do.
Thomas is an awful good fellow. He
always makes one feel at home if
away from home.
In Mankato old figures are scratch
ed over and new ones are made. Man
kato likes to lead the market, but at
times our home buyers take no back
seat and buy if they do lose few
dollars. It's always better to drop a
few sinners than it is to sit around
and do nothing. We know this by ex-
Iperience.
A son of J. r. Williams. deceased
in that city, said they like Rev. Pader
and wanted to know if we did. Sure!
Nj: Paden and we are old friends and
workers. We and the reverend gen
tleman never split hairs with satan
on some issues, but swiped him over
the horn with few solid facts what
is good for man and beast.
The trolley line is statu 90. Nc
one said trolley to us, but we could
see white poles standing at an angle
/, of ten degrees on east Main street
expecting something was going to hap
pen about April l.

SCHOOLS MINUS A HEAD
MOUNTAIN LAKE WITHOUT A
SUPERINTENDENT NOW.
Ambrose Hayes Resigns and Board
Of Education There Is Up Against
Serious Problem.

Mountain Lake, Feb. l0.-The board
of education here is receiving eX-
sellent experience during these days
and they are well aware of the fact
that the members of such body
have to do things which others never
have thought 1t is not simply on
honor which falls to their lot-that
much is certain. Some time before
Christmas High School Inspector Alton
was here and found the high school
enrolment smaller than what he
lsd expected it. He did not fatter
the board for that condition, but ra-
Their told them in very plain Eng
lsh that he would not consider it
right for him to keep school on the
high school list unless it would show
a healthy condition in number as
we'll as in the quality of the work
done.
Well, what was to be done? What
could be done? Every member put
his thinking cap on and set his men
tai engines to work. Plans were
made for effective work toward streng-
thening the school in the direction in
dcated by the official visitor.
All began to look good and favor
able. Then during the Christmas va
cation superintendent Foster was offer
ed position much more remunerative
than the one occupied at Noun
tain Lake. Had the board positively
refused to accept his resignation, he
naturally would have returned to and
remained at Mountain Lake until the
close of this school year. He would
not have come back the ensuing year,
however, the board realized the stu
alton and accepted the unexpected resig-
nation of their efficient superintendent
though they did it very reluctantly
The consider themselves very for
tunate in securing Superintendent A.
HAYS of lie Sueur as the successor
of Mr.. Foster Mr.. Hays was then
and is now the county superintendent
of schools in lie Sueur county. He
came here expecting to hold both
positions until spring and then resign
at one of the two places. The coun-
tv commissioners of lie Sueur county
however, now demand that their super
intendent either come home and do the
work or hand in his resignation at
once. Mr. Hays is thus forced to do
now what he intended to do next
spring. He left for his old home Tues
day night and would surely resign
the county superintendency if he knew
that the board of education here
will elect him for the coming year
But there is the hitch. The local
board has seen so little of his work
that they think is very reasonable to
postpone the election of the super
intendent two or three weeks, until
thew have had little better oppor-
tunity for seeing the work under their
new arrangements. And thus it has
become unavoidable to lose the services
of Mr.. Hays and to look for new
superintendent. just now negotiations
are on foot with gentleman from the
state university, and possibly soon the
school weather will be clear again
and there will be smooth sailing
hereafter.
