Penny Postage Coming.

Postmaster General Hitchcock thinks
one cent postage is not far off. In a
recent interview relative to last year S
investigation into the cost of railway
aud mail transportation under the old
law and present rates, he says:
"Many OF the railways Of the coun-
try are being overpaid for transport
ting the mails. l believe that saw
ing of approximately 100000 a year
10 the government can be made with
out injustice TO the carriers by read
justing the pay on six per cent pro-
tit to all railways carrying the mails.
"After Congress has authorized the
readjustmeDts, the postal surplus.
which is the first in many years, will
ba increased largely, paving the way
still further for the introduction OF
one cent letter postage which can be
a a;cOmpli shed without postal deficit
just as soou as the postage rate on
second class mail matter is properly
adjusted"
Mr.. Hitchcock will recommend re-
adjustment OF railway mail pay anC
certain changes In the method of fix
ing such compensation.

OF GOOD
| ST. VALENTINE

There are many stories which
account for the origin of the feast
day called st. Valentine, at the
same time identifying the saint
and giving him much credit and
material standing.
One story, which seems the
most authentic, is of imperial
Rome in the reign of Claudius,
about the year s A. D.
Claudius was fond of war and
persisted in stirring up contin-
ual tumult on the borders of his
most distant provinces. Armies
were constantly in the field.
Rome was drained of her finest
young men to fill the ranks of
the armies of Claudius, and moth
ers, wives and sweethearts we're
naturally bereaved, for many of
the young soldiers never came
back.
At last Rome tired of this, and
the young men, influenced by
their mothers, wives and sweet
| hearts, began to resort to all
manner of means to escape serv-
ing in the emlperor's army.
And Claudius Perceiving that 1t
was LOVE which was his chiefest
enemy. forbade marriage
Still there were few mar
riages, for priests were bribed,
and young people ran away to DIS
tant parts to unite their fortunes
for good or bad, veal or woe. in
wedloCk.
And in the midst of all the con-
fusion came Valentine, high
priest in the temple which stood
near the imperial palaces.
1t was natural, too, for Vaien-
tine to come to the rescue of The
young people in love, for he had
long been a popular and famous
agent Of Hymen. So in the hour of
need he was eagerly sought out Oy
victims of Cupid's wiles; and lie
did not fail them-but performed
marriage ceremonies in secret, and
sent the young folk away rejoic-
ing.

in due time, and courtiers warned
Valentine that the vengeance OF
the emperor would fall upon mis-
head if he did not cease-but Val
'entine persisted.
So great was the wrath Of En-
lperor Claudius that he threatened
the execution of Valentine, but
Valentine continued to unite
young people in wedlock. Cour-
tiers again warned the high priest,
and courtiers told the emperor
that >the priest was too popular
and too powerful with the young
to be safely executed-but Clau-
dius would have his way.
So Valentine, according TO one
story, was thrown into JAIL where
re languished and died; while ac-
'crding to another story, he was
3eaten to death by his jailers. 1t
positive that he died, because
re WOULD make love successful.
And his good, brave WORK in be-

never forgotten, and he became

Red-Blooded American Heroes
PETER PETERSON, A FIVE-YEAR-OLD HERO.

Peter Petersen had a foreign
name, but he was good Ameri-
can, just the same. For was he
not born in Minnesota? 1t wasn't
Peters fault that his parents had
been born in Norway.
He lived with his parents in a
little clearing in the Minnesota
woods, and he was a very wise
lad, for a little chap five years
old. He knew all the animals and
birds in the woods, and he knew
the indians-and he feared them.
For the indians were the bane
of existence to the Minnesota set
tiers just as they were to the early
settlers of every other state. They
would swoop down upon lonely
cabin, kill the people, burn the
buildings, steal the grain and run
away again.
And that is just what they did
at Peter Petersen's home.
1t was a nice warm day in the
spring of 1862 and Peter was in
the barn hunting eggs for his
mother. He heard war cry from
the wood, and by the time he could
put his head out of the door to see
what the matter was, the red
skins had scalped his father, who
was blowing in a field, and were
making toward the house.
Most lads would have cried at
this but heroes don't do that sort
of thing. And Peter was hero.
He ran up to where the old brindle
COW was mGnching her cud, turned
her out of the barn and climbed
onto her back. Somehow the liz
dams were too busy to notice him.
He dug his toes into Brindle's
warm flanks, and the old COW
wobbled ON toward the wood.
Sister Matilda also escaped, and
was found later by party of SOL
|diers. But of course Peter didn't
know this--yet.
For days Peter rode on the old
COWS back. At night he would
sheep in the wood while the old
COW watched over him; and If the
might was too cold he would creep
close to the nice warm COW and
warm his feet on her body. Tears
were of no avail. And when morn
ing came and the first rays of the
sun struck little Peter in the face,
he would roll over and say, Mann
ma" forgetting that his mamma
was dead and that he was far, very
far, from home. He would then
milk into his mouth while the old
COW stood patientlyan this was
his only food.
The indians did not find him. He
rode and rode. and one day the old
COW stopped ~ front Of cabin and

SO good. If women would stop to
think they would, in reality, mar
vel that men are as good as they
are with the temptations they
have. The woman tempts-the man
quite as often as the man tempts
the woman. AS a matter of fact,
women-the women who have to
go out into the world, have en-
countered temptations just as
men have, but they have not re-
sisted them as WE'LL"

Peter asked where he was. lie was
in Winona, $50 miles from his old
home. The kind people took him
to the village hotel and washed his
face and dried his tears, and there
he found kind Norwegian wopSp
who spoke his own tongue. She
took him into the kitchen to get
him a good breakfast, but no
sooner had he set foot down inside
the door than he was snatched up
in warm embrace, and he looked
up into the eyes of--Matilda!
