Patrons are NOT Satisfied.

Sunday morning Washington tel
nounced the recomm endatim, of the
nOunced the recommendation of the
nomination by Colonel Hamer, of
Rhese r. Harmon to be postmaster
at Mountain Home; the same item
announcing the resignation of Mrs.
Longfellow, the latter being entirely
untrue, and we, with an overwhelm-
Ing majority of the people of this
town, wish the whole dispatch might
be fully as false as the closing state
ment. We have no quarrel with Mr..
Harmon, either, but we regret the
retirement of such efficiency as typi-
fled I'm the administration of postof-
flee business by Mrs. Longfellow; her
unfailing kindness. courtesy and ac-
com0dati0n. We believe Mr.. Hamer
has made grave mistake in his rec
concentration. The only statement
contrary to the sense of the foregoing,
having been published In the current
issue OF the Mountain Home Maverick,
the editor Of which (until just prior to
the recent primaries. a Democrat, ed
iting a Democratic paper) was him
self an aspirant as against Mrs. Long.

What is The Reason7

Editor Republican,:
! am at loss to see just why the
editor Of the Maverick should state
in connection with the Mass meeting
of Saturday might that Mr. Blake
was largely interested In the North
western Land Company, which pur-
chased Mr.. Corker's interest I'm a
large number of lots i'm Glems Ferry.
But as that may be, in measure,
accountable for his detected appear
ance since last Saturday night, will
state for his benefit that it is mis-
take. did not sell my interest In a
large number of lots to the North
western Land Company, nor my in
terest in any lot to them. In fact l
have purchased lots from them, since
their advent into Glenns Ferry.
Yours truly,

Washington's Birthday.

In the course OF centuries many
men have attained high position and
power and their fame has been trum-
peted abroad. Yet today they are
forgotten and it is My by searching
narrowly the pages of history We
learn that such persons ever lived.
The sitting process constantly going
on has cast them to the one side and
covered them with Oblivion because
they were lacking in true greatness.
There are other mn who with the
passing years loom UP larger i'm the
estimation Of mankind. Posterity rec
ognizes even more than did the age
In which they lived their virtues and
abilities and their services to humani-
ty. Such a man was Washington, of
whom Gladstone SO truly said that
he was the greatest character pro-
duced in the eighteenth century AS
one contrasts him with that other
George, the obstinate and half i'm
beetle British monarch, against whom
he took arms, his superb character,
vices to his country stand out In
holder relief.
OF course all this was admitted
even In his lifetime. But today, af-
tnr
led political and other experiences
the nation has endured since his
death, his wisdom, political sagacity
and wise craftsmanship, as we'll as
his character and military qualities,
are now more fully recognized recog-
are now more fully recognized

st. Valentines Birthday.

Day and for a brief season held sway
over the hearts and fortunes OF young
men and maidens.
We have never been able to learn
what connections, If any. the veneer
able saint had with red hearts trans
fixed with arrows and with seantily
attired cupids with cheeks as chubby
| as Murillos cherubs. Neither do we
know how he came to inspire the ten
| der passion in the hearts Of youns
people, and the sentimental odes in
which that passion so ardently finds
expression. To be sure it is said that
his connection with the day is purely
accidental; that. in fact, there was no
connection at all. The mistake, so
we are told arose from this festive date
falling upon the same date as heath
en- festival I'm honor of the fair and
sprightly Juno.
But whether it is christian saint or
heather goddess that is responsible,
certain 1T is that on each fourteenth
of February valentines in multitude
will be sent and received to the dis
may of postmasters and mail carriers
but to the great satisfaction of young
people.
And what Valentines there are!
What an infinite varity of forms, art
value and expression! There are ugly
administrations distorted carica-
ture designed to wound the feelings
and humiiate. The less said and
seen of them the better, for they are
out of the harmony with the spirit of
the day.
We tdrn with relief to the true val
entlne. There is the dainty kind, cum
ningly devised and artistically execut-
ed. 1t Is a very dream of loneliness
a thing of beauty knots, cooling doves
pierced hearts and other devices.
Then there is the less elaborate style,
still elegant but with fewer f1dlls and
filagree, wherein are to be seen
gaily attired and beautiful young dam
sells tread the path of life hand i'm
hand with fashionably dressed and
sentimental SWANS, and, very sug-
Ngestively, a church in the near dis
lance.
In some parts of the old world ii
was the custom to regard the first
woman friend seem ON the morning
of st. Valentines Day as the Valen-
tine for the year, and it was usual
to bestow giftupon the one thus re-
garded, 1t is to this custom that
Shakespeare refers in Hamlet, when
he makes Ophelia say:
Tomorrow is st. Valentines day
All in the morning betime,
Am | maid at your window,
To be your Valentine.
Pepys, in his diary makes simila
reference in the words. 81 am also
this year my wife's Valentine, and
it will cost me five pound; but that
| must have laidout if we had not
been Valentines"
No valentine is quite complete I'M
less 1T portays a merry-eyed pink
checked cherub with sprouting wings
and armed with bow and arrow. He
always excites our sympathy as well
as our admiration We admire for he
looks innocent, saucy and brave; but
he works on our feelings because it
seems cruel to have him so lightly
clad when snow storms are raging
and the mercury lowering around the
zero mark
Long may the day continue to give
innocent mirth and pleasure. And
away with all those iconoclasts who
would abolish time honored customs
and rob us of every touch of senti-
ment.
