was discovered that the entire house,

However, the department was able TO
render valuable services In checking

Mr.. Moore was awakened by the
smell of smoke and discovered that
the fire had stared in the rear RI
the house. They succeeded in remov-

goods. The house was covered by
insurance to the extent of $1,000 and
the household goods for $500.

~EBRuARY 18th is valentine.

- FEBRUARY 18th Is Valentines
- Day--e day on which love mis-
"a sives are exchanged between
friends and between loved ones.
The custom is founded and sustained
by sentiment which is as natural as
It Is beautiful. The majority of the
authorities on the subject OF It's origin
aEree that the connection of the Gus
toms of Valentines Day with the saint
by that name Is purely accidental. as
In the legends of the different saints
of that name recorded in the Acta
peculiar to the fourteenth of February
Is found. 1t has been suggested by a
well known antiquarian that the GUS
the ancient Romans who during the
Lupercalia celebrated in the month OF
February were accustomed among
other things to put the names of young
women into a box from which they
were drawn b.. men as chance directed
and carried OF into slavery By these
young Roman dandies The Christian
clergy finding 1t difficult or practically
impossible 70 extirpate this pagan
pract!ce gave it at least & religious as
pect by substituting the names OF par
ttcular saints for those OF the women.
and Ii Is still more or less custom OF
the Churc in Europe TO select either
on ST. Valentines Day or some other
a patron amt for the year who is
termed g valentine. Other historians
think X far more probable that the
custom OF choosing valentines Is
relic OF that nature-religfon which was

unwritten law that the person so adj
dressed should present the speaker

became more gallant for only a man

ample of this custom appears in

her heart on her sleeve" comes from
the European custom of drawing ones
valentine. After the drawing is over
each girl wears the love message she
has received pinned to red heart on
her sleeve. AS the man whose name
was drawn was well known to the
company it seemed like a sort of pa
