TIME FOR LOVING THOUGHTS
Rise Only to the Hottest of the
Sentiments.

In Oriental countries garland Of
flowers is flung over the garden wall
Everywhere, all over the earth, the
day, whether called st. Valentines or

sentiments-the giving of a gift Of
love, without the thought Of return,
or even of recognition of the gift
Let us, then, be worthy of this an.
cient meaning Of the day, and not de-
grade it by sending silly verses, or
ugly pictures, as valentines. There are
so many graceful and tasteful things
that we might do instead. There is,

Eour-Footed Poultry.

A certain old man in the Wynchope
settlement, named Buckley, was ex
ceedingly fond of big words" He
was riding hi horse over the country
one bright spring day, apparently in
tent on some important business.
Whenever he met anybody, he grave
ly asked: Have you seen anything of
any stray poultry today? I've lost
mine, and am hunting it, When they
told him mo-" he would proceed on
his way.
After spending several hours in
what seemed to be vain search, he
at last rode up to the door of a farm
house and called: "Hello!" A lady
came to the door, and doffing his hat
very politely, the old man inquired If
she had noticed any stray poultry
round?"
After a moments thought, the wom-
an told him she had seen no chickens.
"Oh," he replied, it's my hogs that
I've lost-not my chickens. Youth s

ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's the Use When There's an Easy
Way Out?

Along with the coffee habit has
grown the prevalent American Dis
ease"-nervous prostration.
The following letter shows the way
out of the trouble:
Five years ago l was a great cof-
fee drinker and; from it's use | be-
came so nervous l could scarcely
sleep at all nights. My condition grew
worse and worse until finally the ply
sician / consulted declared my trou-
bles were due to coffee.
But being SO welded to the bev-
erage I did not see how l could do
without it, especially at breakfast,
as that meal seemed incomplete with
out coffee.
"On a visit, my friends deprived me
of coffee to prove that it was harm
full. At the end of about eight days
| was less nervous, but the craving
for coffee was intense, so l went back
to the old habit as soon as I got home
and the old sleepless nights came
near making wreck of me.
Il heard of Postum and decided to
try it. I did not like it at first, be-
cause, as l afterwards discovered, it
was not made properly. I found, how
ever, that when made after directions
on the package, it was delicious.
1T had a soothing effect on my
nerves, and none Of the bad effects
that coffee had, so l babe farewell to
coffee and have used only Postum
since. The most wonderful account of
the benefit to be derived from
Postum could not exceed my own ex-
perience."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich Write for copy of The
Road to MELVILLE"
Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well
boiled.
Instant Postum-is soluble pow

Mean. Very Mean.

She saw him fold a piece Of paper
and put it in the farther corner OF the
drawer in the library table. If he had
carelessly thrown it in, she would
have thought nothing of it.
What's that" she asked.
"Oh, nothing" he replied.
She wondered what it was, and as
he had said it was of no Importance,
he had no one to blame but himself
if she looked at it, which she did, at
the first opportunity. This is what
she read:
III bet you a new hat your curios-
ity will not permit you to leave this

How can she claim the hat without
