A UNIQUE VERDICT

A Wheeling, West Virginia,
lawyer says that he has heard
many queer verdicts in his time,
hut the quaintest of these was that
brought in not long ago by a jury
of mountaineers in sparsely
settled part Of that state.
This was the first case for the
majority of the jury. and they sat
for hours arguing and disputing
over it in the bare little room at
the rear of the court room. At
last they struggled back to their
places, and the foreman a lean,
gaunt fellow with a superlatively
solemn expression, voiced the
general opinion:
"The jury don't think that he
done it, for we allow he wan'nt
there; but we think he would have
done it eff he's had the chanst. -

TWO-HEADED CALF
-. BORN At LOvELOCK

A double-E eaded calf was born
at the ranch of Jim Casey last
Wednesday. The two heads were
perfectly formed: and there was a
well developed animal, having no
other abnormal characteristics,
excepting the head. The dupli-
cation of the head began just in
front Of the ears, there being only
two ears, set in normal posi-
ton. The forehead of the animal
was just twice as wide as the
ordinary head, and two eyes were
located almost together in the
centre, an eye on each outside
completed set of four with which
the freak was equipped. The two
noses, mouths and throals we're
almost perfect. Each viewed
from its side represented a perfect
head. -Lovelock Review, Miner.

POOR ST VALENTINE

The paradoxical antics of Time
were never moro quantity exempli-
fled than in the case of St. Valen-
tine. Never was insult more
whimsically added to injury than
by the arbitrary association of the
stern and slaughtered saint who
fell martyred beneath the clubs of
the Emperor Claudius, somewhere
toward the end of the third
century, with the joyous and es-
sentially pagan festival which takes
his name in vain-recorded as ga
man Of exceptional chastity of
character" to be associated with
Ophelia's beautiful, ribald, heart.

And l maid at your window

and to he. grossly libeled by
Charles Lamb as "a rubicund
priest of Hymen, attended with
thousands and ten of thousands of
little loves!"
The historical fact is that poor st.
Valentines reputation as a saint
was sacrificed to that astute
policy. of the Christian church
which, finding the old pagan
festivals too deeply rooted in the
popular sentiment, changed their
names to that of some Christian
saint and adopted them for its
own.
Thus Valentines day was
originally a feast of Februata
Juno, and on the night before boys
would draw the names of girls in
order to divine who should be
their sweethearts in the coming
year. The church frowneo on this
innocent game and substituted the
names of saints for sWeethcarts,
whereby. it may be supposed, the
game would somewhat languish.
Yet. in spite of the church, the
old pagan manner of playing the
game has gone or until this day,
and country girls will still pin
five bay leaves to their pillows on
st. Valentine eve, hoping to dream
of their young man" and by
divers other sorceries strive to
wrest from the future the secret
naturally nearest to the human
heart-the face or name of the
beloved--for the sternest of saints
cannot prevent the world from
keeping immortality young, and
the birds will gu on mating on
Feb. Ia in spite of all the DEGREES

When the exhibit was planned it
was the intention of the supervis-

of the high school to give the
exhibit in the high school for tn e
purpose of buying pictures for
that building, but later the plans
were changed so as to include the
two schools. We had intended to
divide the Net receipts equally but
due to the fact that the grammar
school students sold so many
tickets the high school students
voted to divide on a two-fifths and
a three-ffths basis. After the
pictures were chosen the results
were that $S8 went to the high
school and the remainder to the
grammar school. By this plan
there will be four large pictures
purchased for tho high school and
twelve smaller ones for the gram
mar school. We believe this to be
an equitable division.

LARGER PENSION
FOR VETERANS

washington, March Ex-senator
Curtis in urging the passage of the
Sherwood pension bill in the senate
said he was in favor of giving union
soldiers the most liberal pensions
possible and opposed to measuring
their services in dollars and cents.
He said he was opposed to the sub
stitute offered by Senator Smoot be-
cause it was not sufficient to meet the
demands of the veterans.
"This great rich country can well af-
ford to support the men who fought
the battles which saved the union"
said he. I'VE should pass the bill in
justice to survivors of that wonderful
army. They did not count the cost.
When President Lincoln called, they
simply answered we are coming,

Wilkesbarre, Pa. March S0.-The
addition of President Baer of the
Reading Co. in consenting to another
conference with the miners has Gre
ated much better feeling in mining
and business circles. The general
impression now is that at the next
meeting an agreement will be reached
satisfactory to both sides and that the
suspension order of President White
of the miners union will be of short
duration. Many mines in this region
worked short handed today, the min
ers failing to report today for work.
Suspension Unavoidable.
Cleveland, O., March So.-Althougn
suspension of work has been def
initely called in the anthracite mines
to take effect Sunday at midnight, a.
measure is under way by the United
Mine workers to Improve the -situa-
tion caused by the wage disputes.
President White of the union has ar
ranged a date for meeting between
the anthracite miners and operators
for a speedy settlement of differences.
At the same time the bituminous min
ers and operators hope to complete an
agreement whereby the miners would
accept slight increase in pay instead
of original demands.
The substitute committee to which
has been referred the offer of compro-
mise by the miners, is ready it is said
to report that it had accepted the
proposal. The operators said they were
confident Of it's acceptance by the full
conference which has been in session
here for ten days but the final ac-
ceptance of the terms still have TO
be presented before the miners policy
committee and by it submitted to a
referendum vote of the union. Mean
time the suspension beginning Monday
of both bituminous and anthracite
miners is said to be unavoidable.
Many Quit Work.
Shamokin, Pa, March 30.--Not wait
ing for the United Mine workers lead
ers' suspension order to go into eff
feet next Monday many miners quit
work today, while large number en-
tered the mines and took their tools
home. AS a result many mines are
working short handed. Since the sus-
pension order was issued the strike
spirit has grown much stronger.

FIRST VOTES ARE
AGAINST RESUMING

London, March S0.--Although the
first votes taken among the miners Of
Lancashire on the question Are you
in favor of resuming work pending
settlement of the minimum rates Of
wages in the various grades by district
boards to be appointed under the coal
mine minimum wage act' show 8 ma
jority of the men there opposed to re-
turning to work until the district
boards have fixed the minimum wages.
there are indications throughout the
rest Of the country which show an in
creased desire OF the miners to go back
to the pits.
There lis considerable reluctance,
however, among the colliers to take q
definite step until the result Of the
ballot Of the whole body of miners,
about which there seems to be little
doubt, is known Practically all the
leaders are advising the miners that
nothing will be gained by remaining
out. There is today still further
closing Of industries due to q lack Of
coal.
