The Backward Child" and will be Of
interest to all who are child lovers
Some years ago It was thought that
insane persons and those afflicted men,
tai defects were possessed of devils, and
even to this day, 1t seems rs though we
cannot break away from old superati.
lions. Why make the vast difference
between one mentally i'll ard one physi-
cally ILL Why not treat them alike!
The child with mental illness Is no
more to blame than the child with q
physical defect, said DR.. Sylvester in
talk before the Des Moines Womans'
Club recently. That the nervous child
is in need Of immediate attention was
Q part in DR.. Sylvesters' talk. When
We tell mother that her child Is not
mentally defective but suffering from
nervousness, her relief IL great, and
in her relief che seems TO lose sight OF
the fact that the nervous child, should
be well looked after.
The lecture will be preceded by q
good musical program and followed by
q demonstration Of the Health Test
for babies by q physician.
The entire program 10 free to the

The Modern Mans Valentine.

Let other songsters sing of girls with
lips like rubies rare;
Let others pirate of golden curls and
damsel wonderous fair;
Let others make themselves all hoarse as
thev of beauty sing;
l fail to see where such a course will
bring in anything.
i do not dream of laughing eyes the kind
described in books;
do not care to waste my time
on any "girlie's looks
Man needs more money her below, for
pecks of it pine.
Now, wont some damsel with the dough,
be my Valentine?

tlal bondage that deprives him of
many bachelor liberties. The summer
girl may have been hard to Withstand,
but nevertheless she seemed sort of
illusion, but this queen woman of the
heart is real. She is irresistible, not
because she is beautiful or brilliant,
but because seems to belong, not to
the cold world outside, but to him.
And the maid who had no more heart
than driad during the summer flirta-
ton is no longer vacation ballad, but
woman enchanting and sweet to him
through love.
No wonder there are so manv we'd
dings during the winter season they
are the orthodox confessions of spring
courtships and summer betehothals. that
could no longer resist the fireside
charm.

where his next meal was coming from
through his kindly advice, for he al
ways says to them, don't do as did, but
as say" He has started the ball
rolling in this store several times, but
it has stopped before it hit Simon,
however Judge Tinker says he hopes to
get him off this Spring, that he has or
dered some flowers for Easter, which
is always hopeful sign.
We hardly know how to advise Cupid
about going into Davidson and Doty's
or into the Citizens Bank, Alex and
Joe seem to be in about the same fix
as the firm of Hurt & Anderson, though
he had better talk with Judge Ander-
before passing them by.
We advise him to open Billy Balls
door very gently and give Charlie Ia
none the same treatment he gave Billy,
that is, slip up on him unaware, shoot
him down and then put in one more
dart for good count. He will have to
have special arrows made for H. B.
Northcott. as all of them heretofore
have failed to penetrate at all, or else
broken off before they reached his
heart.
He needn't waste any time on Hsr.
ny Tomlinson either, because he has
been MORALLY wounded, not by darts,
but sharps and flats. He is too fan
gone for even Cupid, music being the
only thing that will soothe him.
We will ask him to keep out of the
Graded Schools as Prof. Riley says
) love germs are very infectious, but
not at all dangerous, at the tender age
he deals with. Prof. Riley doesn't
know how dangerous it is with Charlie
and Willie.

Conceited Man.
(HE)

Dan Cupid went to shoot one day.
He flushed three hearts upon the way.
One was so hard. his arrow broke
At every stroke;
One was so soft, no barbs so bold
Could in it hold;
And one was fair, and sweet and sound
He quickly brought it to the ground.
Now. tell me truly, maiden mine.
Which heart was thine,
My Valentine?
Deceitful Maid.
(She)
Conceited man! None of the three
You tell of was the heart in me-
The soft, the hard, nor yet the sound.
You boast you brought to ground.
At other hearts yet
ibid you forget
You leyeled YOUR artillery;
And shot and shot again,
And ever shot in vain.-
You missed them clear, you see
Of these was mine
My gallant fine,
But not at all my Valentine.

Two Valentines For H. c. Bailey.

Saint Valentine was overly generous
with the home of H. C. Bailey. He
left two bouncing boys there that have
been named William and James. We
can not help but feel that a mistake
was made and that one was intended
for elsewhere, but as long as the moth
er, who was Miss Mary Moss, is so
pleased and the proud father is just
''tickled to death" with getting in so
much steady help. we will not be so
unkind as to tell Saint Valentine the
mistake his delivery boy, the Stork,
made.

A Hint To Saint Valentine.

Dear old saint our fathers worshiped,
Whom we disregard of late,
You forget that times are changing,
Bows and arrows out of date.
You are out of date, Dan Cupid,
Travelling around on the wing,
Why not get yourself bicycle,
Motorcycle, or some such thing?
Why not get touring car,
Run-a-bout or Auto-bus?
With these later day improvements,
You could make just twice the fuss.
Is it that our hearts are smaller,
That he misses oft his fling?
No, in these days of fast travelling,
He has to catch us ION the wing.

The girl for me must have false hair.
And freckles on her face.

Then she might love only me.

No Wedding Bells For Us.

Dan Cupid is said to get in his most
deadly work this week but we willhave
to ask him to pass US by as there are
no hearts hung on the outside of the
Record office door for him to sho II at.
True, our three young ladies, Misses
Stella and Grace Comely and Miss Mary
Reid are just the kind he is looking foi,
good looking. bright and energetic, but
the Record needs them so badly, if
Cupid comes in the door after enc of
them he will 60 out by the window.
Surely, Cupid remembers LennY for
he got in his work on him some sever
al years ago and hit him so hard he
was led to the hymenial alter, like
some of rhe rest of US, he now stands
without hitching, is a thoroughly DOM
esticated animal, the kind that Cupid
never bothers but once. True, Tercy
is not married but he is invulnerable,
unless hit in the heel, and he steps so
lively we think Cupid would be wasting
both time and darts to shoot at him.
The City Editor has had such deep
wound another shot would kill him.
He really needs a professional nurse,
no ameteur need apply.
We had intended to offer our promis-
ing young devil on Cupids alter as a
sacrifice from the Record Office, but
when he came in with a valentine he
had written saying he had given his
hart to Grace" we knew it was all over
with US and twas then we decided to
hang out our card mo Wedding Bells
For Us" in order that Cupid would
waste no time on US, as there is sc
much work for him to do elsewhere.
First, we would direct him to the
Garrard Bank and Trust Co., there is 6
modern man or two in there and they
would like to negotiate with him before
being shot at. He might stop in al
Batson's and use another dart or two
effectively. Currey's store holds one
in the person Of ohnnie almost as in
vulnerable as Tercy, but he still has ,
soft place over his heart. Smith the
up-to-date clothing man, is also up-to
date in this business and if Cupid Of

Valentines Day.

The celebration Of Valentines Day on
the 14th day of February originated
with the Romans and is intended to be
in commemoration of the feast of St.
Valentine, who was patron saint of
the ancient Romans. The custom as
anciently observed by the Rom ans con-
sisted in sending pictorial missives
which were termed valentines.
There has however been considerable
deterioration from the pretty original
custom, and in modern times the day
is observed, especially by the young,
in the sending of caricatures and comic
pictures intended to portray the recipi-
ent in q very unpleasant light, and in
many cases the unfair advantage is TAX
en- to convey to some person your opin-
ion of them by a means which very
much resembles that most despicable of
all persons, the anonymous letter writ
er. The custom as originally observed,
and which is INDUCED in to some ex-
tent as yet, is very pretty one; the
senders chose beautiful cards contain
hing appropriate verses of poetry in
tended to gladden. the heart of some
loved friend, but we are very sorry to
say that the sending of the comic and
/ more Objectionable class of valentines
very much predominates. The latter
custom is very much INDUCED in by
children, who do not stop to think, or
else are not cognizant of the gravity of
the act they are performing, but their
elders we are sorry to say, are some
what given to expressing their opinions
of other people by means of the comic
valentine.
Before we do this let US stop to think
that perhaps the recipient may be
grieved by its receipt, that we are do
ing them an injustice, and that we our
selves would not care to receive such a
missive, and refrain from ruthlessly
] and unnecessarily injuring their feel
ings. There are any number Of pretty
card valentines to be obtained for the
same price, substitute one of the latter
for the nonsesical comic which you had
intended sending.
You would not stoop to the under.
hand method of sending an anonymous
letter to inform someone of their short
comings, a comic valentine is just
about the equivalent of an anonymous
letter, therefore do not send it.

THE HOUSE
OF MORGAN

]. Pierpont Morgan has the Gaze
sarian objection to lean and hungry
men, says the New York Press. All
of his partners and nearly all the en-
ployes in his great bank at Broad
and Wall streets have their bones
upholstered with flesh. He likes to
see a mans chin. Nearly everybody
in the treasure house have good
strong chins.
For a man of his age Mr.. Morgan
has remarkable eyesight. When he
is at his desk he rarely has to put on
his glasses to read letters or reprint
ed matter. He holds the sheet about
is inches away. He is a very rapid
reader and he wades through his
correspondence at high speed. For
many years he has had the same
stenographer, James Webster King.
Mr.. King is English, white-haired,
, about IS years old, quick of speech
and quick of foot. He occupies a
desk IN L1S outer OI4lCG oAAoh6 IAO
rest of the clerks, but he has pri-
vate office up stairs. When Mr.. Nor
gan wants to dictate anything King
hops down from his stool, marches
into the. chiefs room, lays his note
book on the top of Mr.. Morgan's
rosewood deskrand the banker fires
away. Mr.. King has anther stenog-
rapher, a man about 25 years old,
to assist him. Most of Mr.. Morgan S
letters are redictated by King to this
second stenographer, but the private
and personal matters are handled en-
tirely by King.
Persons who have an awesome no.
ton of the banking house OF this
man, Morgan, have surprise when
they go there. 1t is a remarkably
democratic institution. There is a
heap of smoking Mr.. Morgan has
cigar between his teeth most of the
time. On the desk of every partner
