Memory Garden.


There are all kinds of gardens, but
none can give more pleasure than the
one which has been planted by the
friends of the owner, each one choo-
sing the plant she most dearly loves.
This is a true memory garden, and of
such mementoes one can never grow
weary.
In other days there were other ways
of perpetuating the memory Of friends,
At one time the curious custom pre-
vailed of wearing hair bracelets md
watch chains and of filling lockets
with twisted devices of hair. Then
came the period of the patchwork
quilt, each piece Of material used be-
ing nemento of friends dress. IN
comparison with these things mem
ory's garden has everything to rec.
ommend it.

Arthur Helped Beat Himself

THE president sent for me simply
and solely to tell me that he did not
want me to go to the convention as
| a delegate. When he first said that l
could not believe | had heard him
Alright, but when he repeated it l was
aghast Why, Mr.. President l ex-
claimed, if you don't let me go as a
delegate to the convention you will
not have anyone there with practical
leadership in national politics to d.
rect the delegates who have been
elected to support you. You know
enough about politics to know what
that would mean. You also know that
Blaine will be represented at the con-
yention BY some very foxy politi-
clans, and there will be other skilled
| politicians on hand to watch for Ed
| mundss interests"
q know said the president, but
l do not want to be nominated as the
/ result of any political manipulation.
I want nomination that will reflect
the desire of the party, or none at

What could | say in reply?" said
| Mr.. Chandler. 81 could only intimate
my fear that the politicians who are
opposed to the president would Sc
! cure control of the convention and
defeat his nomination. But to all that

| did not care to be nominated except
in the manner he had already indi-
| Gated, and so l am not going to the

est idea who will lead the Arthur
forces at Chicago"
| In the late summer of 1884, just as
| the presidential canvass was actively
| beginning, l again met Mr. Chandler,
and the talk turned to Arthur's de-
feat for the presidential nomination
"Ah if 1 had only been at that con-
vention," sighed Mr.. Chandler, re
| gretfully. 81 know now many of the
inside details of that meeting and
| can say to you that there was one
moment during the preliminary work
| of the convention when, had l been

brought about an agreement among
| certain groups of delegates which
would have led to the nomination of
Arthur instead of Blaine for presi

fided to you, Arthur would not let
me go as delegate and as his politi-
cal manager, and the golden moment
passed with no one to take advan-

| the president forbade my attending
the convention, the skilled politicians
opposing him were more than a
match for the practically leaderless

Long ago there lived priest named Valen-
tine This good man noted in all the coun-
try round for his kindness. He nursed the sick.
comforted the Borrowing and was always ready
to give help to anyone who was in need. Valen-
tine dearly loved the children and those who
went to him for food or clothes were never turned
away. After this kind priest became too old to
go among his people he very sad because he
thought he could no longer be of any help to
them. Then he remembered that he could write
loving messages to the sick and sorrowing Soon
his friends began to watch for the kind words
that were sure to come whenever sorrow JOY
entered their homes Even little children would
say. when they were sick, Il think Father Valen-
tine win send me letter today"
But after a time more letters were re-
ceived and the went abroad that good
old Valentine was dead. Then every one said
that such man was good enough to be called
a saint and since then he has been known as ST
Valentine. 1t was not long until people cele
brated his birthday by sending loving messages
to their friends The notes and letters contain
ing these messages were called valentines This
all happened years ago. but good St Valentine
