school, when, in some in

postmaster because he fails
to get d letter or paper just
when he imagines he ought

natural resource with great profits

El Paso, Feb. 14.-Members of the

that Francisco Madero had been here

tice, there is no limit to which the
Mexican government would resort to
hold him in this or any other country
if he were to surrender and forsake
the effort of his troops in the field.
He is forced to take every precaution.
Madero says he is going to Mexico, to
the protection of his own troops in
the field, and hoped in short time to
be in possession of Ciudad Juarez or
some other suitable port of entry.

ment by the exchange of cards
Santa Feans were busy all day eth
er sending out valentines or opening
them and reading what the poet had
to say.
It was fun to stand a few minutes
in the postohfce and watch men and
women walk up to the general deliv-
cry window or take out their lock box
keys and remove the tender messages
from the letter box. The faces of the
readers OF these missiyes told the
story.
There was man with blue eyes and
he probably got verse about
Dear eyes of blue

And then there was the maiden
with the dark Iuminaries and she read
something equally charming about
her
Eyes of lovely Brown
Now they twinkle, now they frown.
Another damsel was seen to hur-
riedly hide the missive she received.
A friend insisted on reading it and
repeated the words,
Your eyebrows too with fine art

ment but grown-ups today are allowed
to become children.
The postar card valentine was also
in evidence and although less eXpen-
siye than those of the card system,
still it was more amusing, more an
noying.
Some men escaped with one valen'
tine but others seemed to be deluged
| with them. A man with toothbrush
moustache and heavy eyebrows was
seen asking for letter at the general
delivery window and greatly to his
surprise was handed a half dozen val
entine cards. He could not open that
narrow door quick enough to get out
of the office.
At the Capitol.
/ At the capitol some valentine send
er evidently had worked overtime for
many of the officials we're remember
ed. Some of the valentines were de.
cidedly satirical and far from anna
tory. Still there were a few vaien'
tines that were so coy and naive
that even hard-worked official had
to read them more than once, no mat
ter how busy he was.
| And the more verse one read on
this, st. Valentines day, the more one
wondered whether poetry after all is
more Of a matter of outward form
or essentially of inward content.
Certainly today is was the 'sponta'
neous overflow of powerful feelings.
