VALENTINE DAY
February 14th Is the Merry Occasion
Many Dealers Have on Hand
LARGE stock Of Valentines.

Large stock or Valentines
Webster defines Valentine day as
the time to send a letter containing
professions Of love or affection, sent
by one young person to another on
February IA
The original Of Valentine day IS
unknown, but 1t is thought that the
FIRST missive OF love was carved on
rock In the stone age ana the lover
had the stone which probably weigh,
ca several tons--conyeyed to his
sweetheart. This version is as plaus-
ibIe as any other. Anyway It is a
very old custom. Shakespeare al

piled with all kinds of sweet and
''sour" missives, and are selling rap
idly, considering valentine day will
not arrive for more than two weeks.
The styles Of valentines change
yearly, each season bringing out a
different and more elaborate AMI ar
tistic line. Some OF the higher priced
valentines are in the models OF music
al instruments, while another one
contains two hearts worked In velvet,
a miniature telephone In the middle,
while two small silver wires connect
the hearts.

Prohibition in Committee.


Charleston, w. Va, Feb. 3.-Ths
senate spent little time on the pro-
hibition amendment Tuesday morn,
ing after it was reported from the
house. Though the amendment went
! through the house without single
amendment being made 10 it, it failed
to miss consideration in COMMITTEES
in the upper house Senator Carroll
making the motion that It be sent to
the committee on the judiciary, which
carried How long it will be kept in
committee or what changes will be
! made in its complexion there are
questions that are very much fssrs
doubt, but the belief is strong among
many, that while the committee has
the amendment the senate will take
up a local option bill on the model
license plan. This bill which makes
a city with more than 1000 population
the unit has been under consideration
of the fiance committee and 1t Is said
by those who claim to- know that its
passage will be the death knell OF the
prohibition amendment. The fact that
many local option bills have been in
, troduced and that Delegate Yost has
introduced a resolution providing for
statutory prohibition, which is by far
the most drastic measure on the ques-
ton ever brought up in West Virgin
ia, shows that the anti-saloon people
will endeavor to secure some kind OF
liquor legislation even If they do fall
down on the amendment.
Penitentiary Investigation.
At last it looks as though some
steps are to be taken toward the pen
itentiary investigation. Monday the
senate standing pat on it's former
action. asked the house to appoint
a conference committee to take up
the question and the house complied
with the request by appointing Nj
gent, Hart and Hall.
Col. Clarke Hamilton, member OF
Governor Dawsons staff and presi-
dent of the penitentiary board, is in
the city to attend the governors re-
ception this evening. Col Hamilton
would not talk about the charges
made by Delegate Moore in regard
to the management of the penitenti-
airy other than to say that he is anx
ious that committee be sent to the
penitentiary at an early date to in
vestigatc the charges. The day the
charges were made, Mr.. Hamilton
made a lengthy denial and urged a
speedy investigation and he has many
friends here who are hoping that this
investigation will be made at once.
In the senate Senator Silver's bill
creating a free text book commission
to investigate the needs of the state
in regard to free text books was up
on second readings and an attempt
was made to sidetrack it by sending
it back to committee. This met with
failure, however, and with few
amendments the bill passed to third
readino.
In the house the principal discus
sion was on the lobby bill which was
on second reading. The measure was
passed to third reading.

Mayor Toney states that all persons who throw trash of any kind over the bank, from Beech to Tennessee streets which practically takes ill all of the river front at this point, will be ar- rested and heavily fined.

EXCELLENT BILL;
 FINE COMPANY

What was decidedly the most en- joyable dramatic treat of the present theatrical season, was the presenta- tion of The Great Divide,' at the Elks theatre last night to good sized audience. It was evident that many lovers of good drama were not present.
 The company merited the s. R. O. sign No better cast has ever been seen in this city in play Of this char acter and few more evenly balanced or more capable dramatic companies tour the southwest. With the excep- tion of a few ill-mannered individuals who displayed their ignorance in the gallery at critical moments, the audi ence seemed to be spellbound by the acting and great interest that center ed in the play. Almost continuously throughout the evening one could have heard pin drop, which evi- dences the fact that the audience gave the actors their closest attention and silent admiration. It was the first ap- pearance of the great play in this city. 1t is an ideal American story tions and climaXes. It was made fla nous by Henry Miller, under whose direction the company is now touring this section. When one sees the play and such company as that which appeared here last evening, it is easy to imagine that The Great Divide enjoyed record breaking run of more than 800 performances at the Princess and Daily s theatres and later in the Academy of Music in New York City William Vaughn Moody's remarkable ability as a producer of strong drama, IS show in each of the three acts. Strong approval of dramatic review CTS has greeted the play all over the country. High ideals are founded on such morals as are pictured in real life in this great American play. It is the kind of drama that has a ren- dency to elevate the stage. Margaret Anglin and Henry Miller started The Great Divide" on the road to fame and fortune, but it is doubtful if the stars Of the original production acquitted themselves more creditably than did Miss Ina Brooks and Edgar Jones. who essayed the roles of Ruth Jor- dan and Stephen Ghent' here last night, Miss Brooks was alternate last year with Margaret Ellington in The Thief Her strongest scenes were her best and her acting was simply superb. MT. Jones was the Stephen Ghent' intended for him. The remain der of the company could not have been improved upon.

SEEKING THE LIMELIGHT.

II would seem as though every
American would be prouo of the fact
that the north pole was discovered
by countryman and would be
whooping up things and praising him.
But all the discoverer's countrymen
don't seem TO be built that way.
From the stories now appearing in
the various papers over the country
one would naturally suppose DR.. Cook
to be some form Of CRATER, one de-
serving all kinds OF criticims and
abuse. Persons are bobbing up in all
parts OF the country for the sole
purpose OF doubling the Doctors
achievement. About tho only reason
any OF those doubters have for their
belief is the fact that they were not
present when the pole was found.
A,few OF them, II is true, admit that
inasmuch as the pole was never dis
covered before there is no logical
reason why 1t should be now. They
prefer to leave 1t unbound because it
has always been in that condition up
20 now.
Thus 1t is that a continual stream
OF doubling rhomases are making an
idiotic show of themselves before
the world, DIR. Cook, fortunately ig-
norant OF the widespread discomfort
In this country. is being feted by the
King OF Denmark and honored by the
scientists OF that country. They know
a great deal about Arctic explora-
tions and yet they are willing to be-
lieve. They acknowledge DR.. Cook as
the dlsooverer OF the pole. They are
interested In the truth no matter by
whom 1t may be brought. American
scientists seem to be more interest
cd In advertising themselves. Let us
hope they may become sufficiently
saturated with publicity in few
weeks that they may be able to bow
down before the most noted explorer
OF century when DIR. Cook returns
home TO accept the highest honors
at. the hands OF his fellow country
men. This should be one case In
which the doubters should be dis.
earded and proper attention paid to
this prophet who is really not with
out honor at home. There is only
one North pole and another will
never be discovered IL the world is
Inhabited for a million years.

Reduced to its lowest terms, Pres
