ABSURD LIBERTIES
WITH ST. VALENTINE

The paradOxical. not TO say absurd.
antics OF Time were never more
quantity exemplified than in this mat
ter OF ST. Valentine. says Richard lie
Gallienne In the February Delineator.
Never was insult more whimsically
added TO injury than by the arbitrary
association of the stern and slaugh-
tered saint who fell martyred beneath
the clubs OF the Emperor Claudius.
somewhat toward the end OF the third
century. with the joyous and essential
~ pagan festivities which takes his
name I'm vain. Recorded as "a man
of exceptional chastity Of character"
to be associated with Ophelia's
beautiful. ribald. heart.breaking song:
And I a maid at your window
To be your Valentine,
and to be grossly libeled by Charles
Lamb. attended with thousands and
tens of thousands of little loves,"
The historical fact is that poor ST.
Valentines reputation as a saint was
sacrificed TO that astute policy of the
Christian Church. which. finding the
old pagan festivals too deeply rooted
in the popular sentiment changed
their names 20 that Of some Christian
saint. and adopted them for it's own.
Thus Valentines Day was original
~ a feast of Februata Juno. and. on
the night before. boys would draw
the names OF girls in order 20 divine
who should be their sweethearts I'm
the coming year. The Church frown-
ed on this innocent game and substi-
tuted the names Of saints for sweet
hearts-whereby. IL may be supposed.
the game would somewhat anguish.
Yet, In spite OF the Church. the old
pagan manners Of playing the game
has gone on until this day; and
country girls will still pin five bay
leaves to their pillows on ST. Valen-
tines eve, hoping 10 dream Of their
young man." and by divers other
sorceries strive TO wrest from the
future the secret naturally nearest 10
the human heart-the face or name Of
the beloved. For the sternest Of saints
cannot prevent the world from keeping
Immortality young. and the birds will
go on mating on the fourteenth of
February In spite Of all the DEGREES
OF the Church.

A STORY WITH A LESSON.

The Cosmopolitan for August has a short story which unintentionally per haps conveys a truth which has not been generally impressed upon man. kind. The story relates to two Rus sian Jews. one of whom is fore doomed to failure in all of his under takings, while the other is invariably successful. It is in the description of the latter that the simple secret of his success is pointed out.
 Added to his habits of untiring in dustry and a definite purpose to in crease his wealth is a full under standing of his own capabilities. He is able to distinguish between the possible and the impossible for him. He wastes no time on the latter. but concentrates his efforts upon the ac- eomplishment of the former. He must necessarily be a judge of ad- ventitious circumstance which may facilitate or retard his progress, but his most valuable accomplishment is his full understanding of his own abilities. Understanding gives confi- dence
 Some one. we have forgotten who. if we ever knew, created a motto which used to be much in vogue at school commencements: "ToO low they aim who aim below the stars" Nothing can be more foolish and misleading than the old hope held out to the youth of this country in the state ment that the American presidency is within reach of every American born boy
 Such doctrines as these can inspire only a blind. unreasoning, vaulting ambition. They are precepts of no possible value. The men who devised them were of infinite shallowness iH comparison with the old Greek who uttered "Gnothi Seauton"
 Lesinsky of the story may never have heard of that Greek precept, but he followed it. He knew himself, the most important thing in all this world to know. That becomes the basis of all other useful knowledge and achievement. Without that knowledge success is an accident. but there is very little accidental success. There is not enough of it to consti- ute series within the experience Of any one man so that his life may be crowned with success.
 Knowledge of ones self is his range finder. With it he knows whether to aim at the stars. above or below them.
