Some hearts are too world-wlse for
arrows
They turn aside sharpest OF darts.
But Cupid sometimes. the sly rascal,
Is masked as "the fisher o. hearts"
Rod hidden in poppies and roses.
With loye-ba;ted hook for the lure,
The gay little rogue soon is laughing.

Dan Cupid to try for his sins and
mistakes:
And ala of the lovers whom he had
derlded
Were summoned to tell them Just
how heart breaks.
By millions they came, all hurdened
with sadness
That Cupid had brought them
through long, weary years:
And the poor little god. overwhelmed
by his badness,
Turned from his accusers. dlssolv-
ing In tears.
The up went a shout from his army
OF foes:
"0ur hearts ycu have pierced and
our souls YOU have scared.
And you've brought down upon us
deep sorrows and woes;
But we can't do without you-Dan
Cupid. you're cleared"

Decorate Folks Before They Die
The other day small boy picked

81. Valentines.
Most OF us, especially if we are old
fogies, are apt to think, when st.
Valentines day comes around. that
IL has gone by--a seeming paradox.
IL we take close notice of the toy
windows, however. and Of the chill
dren; in fact. II we come out of our
shells and just look about us, we
may discover, to our chagrin, that st
Valentines day has gone by only for
MS. and that for certain others. quite
numerous, II stll continues to do
business at the same old stand.
But even the custom OF keeping
st. Valentines day itself is paradoxi-
cal and a sort of gibe at the other
days OF the year. for IL seems to in
dicate that this Is the only day
among them all which Is dedicated to
Love. As II every other day did not
contain its proper proportion,
Nevertheless. II Is perhaps Just as
well that one day. In all the year,
should be set aside as a poets day,
in which Love can go a-rhyming
with all of the special dedlcatory
privileges thrown in; to say nothing
OF poetic license.
For II indeed there we're no need
of a poetic license; II all the poetry
were metrically perfect. the SMILES
exact. the strophes consonant with
the utmost poetic dignity. how could
they consort with true Love. which
Is. as we all know by experience. so
fun OF error and mischief: which.
indeed. derives its chief charm from
it's very weakness.
As for us. we prefer the old-fash-
ioned hligree lacewOrk valentine
with its hearts and darts and It's
slathers Of primitive sentiment. rath-
er than the more modern plush af-
fair with its important and too ex-
pensive atmosphere.
We will take il also in a box. typi-
cal OF every lovers condition. for Is
he not always in box? As for the
rhymes, II pine rhyme with valen-
tine and mine. so much the better |
We recall even today the first valen-
tine Of this description we ever re-
ceived. AS we came upon its hidden |
mysteries. and read the gilt declara-
tion within. all the cheap tinsel Of
this world fell away, and new one

ecstasy opened for us. She had sent
L.; who else? What tender thoughts
OF her It brought In no other way
could she have expressed herself so
well. Its very oonventionality. the
fact that there were doubtless others
like IL, only seemed to act as a shield
to her modesty. only seemed to pro-
tect her maidenly embarrassment.
Henceforth we were translated in
to a new being. We had a secret in
common with all the world. Some
