covered all corners Of the globe in his search,
and many of the rareSt specimens IN ms great
collection of more than two thousand have
been picked up for him by European dealers.
The collection of the valentines OF Olden
times discloSeS the fact that IN the era OF our
grandparents. before manufactured valentines
were thought of, there extensive resort to
valentine writers" which were books of
specially prepared verses and sentiments for
the Use of those who must needs prepare their
own poetry.
Some idea of the popularity of these obsolete
booklets which were used prior to 1880 by
those who despatched miSsives each fatetul
fourteenth of February a century or more ago
may be formed from the fact that Mr.. Bder has
upward of one hundred different specimens in
his collection. Some of them were published
in the eighteenth century. and the most recent
of them is dated 1900. These aids 10 devoteeS
of Saint Valentine were issued annually after
the fashion of almdnacS and the publishers m
variably laid great stress upon the fact that the
humorous and Satirical poems presented were
original and composed expressly for the volume
in which they appeared. The booklets usually
sold for sNpence. and all the more pretentiouS
ones had frontisp'cces in three colors bearing q
representation of Cupid, or some scene or sym
bol appropriate to the occasion.
Something of their character and contents
may be Surmised from the titles. "QuizzIng
Valentine Writer" "RhapsodieS and Pas
times The Ladies Polite Valentine Writer,
"Cupids Budget" The School for Love"
The Gcntlemens New Valentine Writer
"Cupids Annual Charter" "Cupid's Cabinet
and Court of Love" "Hymcn's Revenge
Against Old Maids and Old Bachelors and I'm
pertinent Coxcombs. or New Valentine
Writer for the Present Year Bellies and
Bucks Who Throng to Hymen's Court" The
Satirical Valentine Writer
Trades people in those days of long ago
had valentine writers that were published for
their special benefit, and 1t quite the proper
thing for the young merchant 10 address his
1adyI1y. in rirle that made more or less Vcllel
allusion to his calling. Thus the following is
from a grocer to the object of his devotion.

IN these days Of col
L 1ecting fads, when
the hobbies of relic
hunters embrace every
thing from candlesticks
to old furniture 1t IS
strange that the Valen-
tines Of our great
grandmothers are as
rare as any antique
that could be men
toned. Few present
day folks can compare
the valentines of 1910
with the love tokens Of
our ancestors, with
their wealth of tlOWery
sentiment; for oddly
enough, almost none OF
these oldtlme mlssiVes
have been preserved.
The leading museums

of this kind, and so far
as known there is in
the world only one

worthy of the name.

of Frank II. Baer of

SAYS NEW YORK is MORE
PARTISAN THAN PARIS

Paris. New York is becoming
more Partisan than Paris itself" said
James Clinchsmith, who has just re-
turned to Paris after a two months
visit to the American metropolis.
And by Partisan" he continued, ~
mean all that is bet to make life more
pleasant.
II was amazed at the progress New
York has made and at the advance of
the cosmopolitan spirit of New York
ers. Nothing can stop New York be-
ing the real Paris of the new world
The Development of the cafe and
restaurant life, which has been fea-
ture peculiar to France and the
French people, has grown to such an
extent that Paris ma well look to its
laurels. I was also surprised to see
such a large number of Englishmen
in New York And most of them there
for the first time.
They were attracted, I found, by
the facilities for making money by
speculation and they swarm around
the tickers, taking flyers every now
and then, many Of them making big
money. They are wild in their praise
of the possibilities of money-making
in America, and from the signs of the
time I think they are not wrong in
their estimate.

The Library and Civic Association
will again make a canvass for men,
bership, the dues to become part of
the public library fund
This organization is entirely distinct
from the library board and has no
connection with it, except that some
of the same individuals are members
of both. 1t was organized for the
purpose Of raising funds for the Ii

1t is the wish of the members that
it be distinctly understood that the
Pendleton public library is free Ii

upon any one to pay these dues but it
is asked as a free offering, with a
hope that there will be a ready re-
sponse not only from the members of
the association, the patrons of the
library, who will be especially bene-
fited-by the public in general. In
fact every one interested in the up

POCKET WIRELESS is
LIKE LARGE WATCH

Munich.-The italian savant, Mon
signor Cerebotani, Papal Nuncio at
this city, is the inventor of an instru-
ment like a large watch, which en-
ables a person to receive messages
transmitted from wireless" stations.
The apparatus is merely a pocket
receiver, and the only accessories are
a bobbin of wire, and a metallic in
cased cane. A person thus equipped
can at a given moment receive COM
munications from a station within a
radius of twenty to thirty miles.
In order to do this he halts in the
vicinity of an elevated point or at the
foot of a tree, unrolls his bobbin of
wire, and fastens one end to the high
est branch or any other support; the
other end of the wire is fastened to
the apparatus which is connected on
the opposite side with the cane firm
ly planted into the earth. The tele-
graphic receiver is now complete, and
all that remains to be done is to
watch the movements of the single
needle stimulated by the Hertzian
waves of the transmission post.
The needle points successfully to
the various letters or signs inscribed
on the apparatus, and thus messages
are formed which can easily be de-
ciphered after the fashion of the
Breguet system. The instrument
works rapidly. and it is expected will
be of great importance for military
purposes. The invention has been sue
cessfully tested by the inventor in the
presence of the Bavarian court and
leading German scientists.

WORLD BEATERS
HERE NEXT THURSDAY

When James j. Jeffrles, the unde-
feated champion arrives in Pendleton
next Thursday night on special train
at the head of his caravan of worlds
champion and all-star athletic won
ders, the probabilities are that he will
be given ample demonstration that
Pendleton is one city in the United
States that is with him heart and soul
in his coming battle with Jack John
son, the negro heavyweight cham
pion.
Never before in the history of the
world, probably was there such a pu-
giistic situation as the present one.
Men who never gave the matter Of
ring mixes even passing thought,
are now asking their neighbors what
they think will be the outcome of the
Jeff-Johnson battle. And it is prob
ably for the reason that the big
boilermaker, of the alfalfa farm fame,
is the one and only hope of the white
race that the announcement made
yesterday morning that he Is to ap-
pear here next Thursday night, jan
uary 27, with the greatest aggrega-
ton of athletes ever assembled un-
der one roof spread like wildfire.
The program will be as follows:
John Hermannson, champion bag
puncher; Farmer Burns. who needs
no introduction to our local followers
of the fistic and wrestling arena; the
great Frank Gotch, the champion
wrestler of the world, who will meet
Motannic the Indian wrestler; Lockon
and FRANKIE, comedy acrobats; Jack
Mccormick and John Asbell in a
wrestling meet; the Checkers, Charles
and Anna, in their comedy act, en-
! titled Fun in the Physical Culture
| Studio" and Farmer Burns on the
| list in a wrestling match. The pro-
gram will finish with the great JEFF
fries in his act of rope jumping, shad-
ow boxing, ball throwing and spar
ring four rounds with Sam Berger
| The seats will go on sale Monday
morning at 10 a. m, at the Pendleton
Drug Co. Prices will range from 75c
to 50 at the ringside.

DRINKS MUCH "RAT POISON
To Prove Stuff is WhislSey Former
Minister Takes Novel Test.

Guthrie, Okla.-The Rev C. c..
Brannon, formerly an Oklahoma
Methodist preacher. at present a
special officer under the interior de-
partment at Washington. recently in
the County court at Cass Lake, Mimi,
took drink from a bottle alleged to
be rat poison to prove that 1t was just
plain booze
1t was during the trial of a man
by the name of Richie, agent for a
Cass Lake drug company, that Bran
nan made certain the conviction of
Richie by drinking from n bottle said
to contain rat poison. The charge
had been made against Riches de-
fense was that he had not sold whis-
ky to the Indian, but rat poison.
The Rev. Mr.. Brannon had a
''hunch" that what tire bottle con-
tanned was whisky and to convince the
jurors he took drink of the liquid,
resulting in no bad effects whatever.
A verdict of conviction was at once
returned against the prisoner.

JAPANESE POPULATION
IN U. s. FALLING OFF

Portlend.-N. Numano, Japanes-
consul at Portland. has published Il
report of the movement of japanese
to and from the United States during
1909, showing that the Japanese pop
ulation of the union is rapidly de-
creasinc.
The summary, fecapitulated from
statistics furnished by the Japanese
foreign office, shows that there were
1926 Japanese admitted to the United
States during 1908. and that 542S de-
parted and that in 1909. 1921 were
admitted and 1896 left. During the
two years, according to the report,
the japanese population of the United
States has fallen off 42S4.
The reason for the decrease" said
Mr.. Numano today lis that the Japa-
nese government has forbidden the
immigration of Japanese into the
United States. No low caste Japa-
nese are arriving i'm this country now.
The great number of those admitted
during the two years We're tourists
and merchants. Many of the older
Japanese, too. are returning to their
fatherland"

CLEVER SPECIAITIES IN
"SUNNY SOUTH MINSTREI.S S

The sunny South Minstrels' the
local combination of mirth producers,
who are rehearsing each evening un-
der the direction of Mrs. Anna z.
Crayne. will begin a series of practices
tonight in the Oregon theater in or
der to acquaint themselves with
scenery and footlights.
The performance will be divided in
to two parts, the first being made up
of solo selections, classical. popular
and otherwise, dancing, bones and
tambourine exhibitions, and wit shots
and humor cracks emanating from the
eight ebony endmen. The second half
will be an exact reproduction of a
southern plantation scene and will
be filled with dancing. cake walks.
negro melodies and other features of
typical darktown.
Aside from the vocal solo selections
mentioned in yesterdays columns,
numbers of especial prominence will
be those on the piano by Miss Young,
Miss Perry and Mr.. Kiefe. The young
ladies need no introduction to Pen
dleton people. and Mr.. Kiefe will nev-
er need another after his first ap-
pearance. He is a young Harvard
graduate and his fame as an "ivory
ticker" and specialist in "pianology'
was heralded throughout college cir
cles, and it is "the one safe bet' that
he will be one of the big hits of the
evening.
Mrs. Crayne reports that the troupe
is rapidly rounding into shape, and
with a few more nights practice will
be ready to compete with profession
ais.
