Worlds Series Tickets
Can Be Ordered Now
Special to The TELEGRAPH

Boston, Mass, Sept. 25. - Official
notice of the progress of Boston to-
ward capturing the National League
pennant and participating in the world
series was taken yesterday by the
management of the local club. Secre-
tary Herman E. Nickerson announced
that applications for seats for world
series games that may be played here
would be tabulated beginning to-day,
and reservations made in the order of
receipt.
Applications will be granted for one,
two or three-day allotments, with
preference to those asking for tickets
for three days and for any reasonable
number of seats for each game, those
applying for one or two to have first
call.
Arrangements are being made, ac-
cording to Secretary Nickerson, by
which it is hoped to circumvent
schemes of spectators to secure
blocks of tickets.
The first applications reached the
local headquarters more than a month
ago, and more than 500 were received
to-day. Beginning tomorrow an ex-
ira force of clerks will be employed
to handle the business.

PUZZLE THE SAINT
Good Old Bishop Seen Wondering at
tho observances Accompanying
His Natal Day.

In the general exchange of greet
ings, that vary from the penny card
to the expensive floral offerings to
friends, sweethearts and wives, it
may be interesting to, look to the why
and wherefore of this days celebra-
tion.
In the first place, there doesn't seem
to be any reason why little Eros, the
god of love, has been SO hopelessly
tangled up with the austere bishop
who gave his name to the day
Tradition gives US no reason for at
tributing love songs or lifting mes
sages to the good old saint. Indeed,
he was far from the thoughts of the
human emotions. His tranquil stead
fastness to the Christian faith
brought down the wrath of the Claud-
ian persecution, and he was thrown
into prison. The blind daughter of
the keeper of the prison pitied the
unfortunate captive and tried to COM
fort him. She was rewarded by the
return of her eyesight, due to st. Val
entine, legend tells US. Because of
this he was dragged through the
streets and finally beheaded.
Perhaps the pity of the blind girl
was akin to love, and there may be
this faint claim to the invasion of
this factor.
At any rate, ladies have sighed and
lovers have burst forth into avow.
ais Of their affections, on paper.
In the days of the quill pen, the
valentines were considered a luxury,
and hours were spent guiding and
painting and decorating with verse,
homemade and otherwise. Hearts,
doves and cupids were brought into
play, and If one halted for declara
tion of passion that was glowing and
ardent, he had but to turn to the
Valentine Writer or the Lovers In
structor," a guide to the passionate
expression of the hearts love.
In 1900 the first made-to-order val
entine appeared for sale. Since that
time factories of many lands have
been busily making millions of these
little and great effusions.
Poor st. Valentine would be aston
ished at the impetus that he has
given to business and the mails.
He would probably rub his eyes and
gasp at the way his name has been
taken as a clever excuse for the ex,
change of affectionate courtesies.
The Colorado statesman., 1914-02-14


That started happily. but died
Through some mistake unrectifed.
All. Valentine. on this your day
Release those hearts you've laid away.
Who owned them all, did this one wait
In indecision till too late?
Was this one withered by word
From some old gossip overheard?
This one is old, yet came to you
Trusting and light when 1t was new,
And one mayhap is waiting yet
Who loved 1t and can't forget.
And 30, st. Valentine. we pray
Give back the hearts you've laid away.
I'm sure that they will find the way
Back to the love of yesterday;
Give heed to this poor plea of mine,
Give them a chance, st. Valentine,
And there is one within your store
That have long been seeking for.
And since her heart, the best of them,
Is there among the rest of them,
Make this Emancipation day;
Set free the hearts you've laid away.

Billy Mayfair, were doomed to disa-
gree. They were both invited to a
st. Valentine party and Billie sat,
dressed and expectant, waiting for
her lover to take her to the party.
The hour set for Franks arrival
came and passed, but no young man
in his new buggy put in an appear
ance. When a girl is engaged to a
doctor, she becomes accustomed to an
occasional wait, and Billie was not
much disturbed. Frank was one Of
the two doctors in Hiwassa.
Another half hour crawled by, then
a message was delivered to the now
indignant Billie.
Detained by matter of importance.
VIII explain when come. May be
late but be sure and wait for me.
Frank" ran the message.
Disappointed, yet patient, Billie
seated herself by the sitting-room win
dow. Suddenly her small brother,
Eustace, otherwise known as the Imp,
gave a shout from his perch on the
front gate.
isis, come here! Come here this
minute"
Billie was glad of a diversion and
obeyed at once.
"Looka!" He pointed wildly down
the road. "Ain't that Frank kitin'
along the cross road? Gee Whiz! 1t
is. and that's Marge Roper he's got.
They're goin' to the party"
Yes; it was Frank, and it was plain
to be seen that he had taken the
crossroad to avoid passing her house.
Billie did not stop to think, much
less to reason. She stopped for moth
ing. The Imp, usually compelled to
retire with the chickens, was allowed
to act as his sisters escort to the
party, much to his delight.
Arrived there, Billie, to the dismay
of other less attractive girls and the
joy of the favored swains, fiirted out
rageously with Lewton, the storekeep-
er, Harvey the lawyer and = most
basely of all-with DIR. Louis Davis,
the rival doctor.
When Frank, two hours after his
note, reached the Mayfair house, he
found that Billie had gone to the
party.
Hurt and disappointed, he drove on
alone. The first sight that met his
tired eyes was Billie-not wearing the
willow-but going through a dance
with Louis Davis with every indica-
tion of enjoyment.
She almost ignored his greeting and
was turning her shoulder on him when
Frank caught her hand right under
the exasperating scrutiny of Davis.
How dare you'll" she exclaimed.
Billie, what is the matter?" he de-
manded in turn.
Nothing. Are you alone?" she
asked with an air of surprise. please
let me CO. This is my dance with Mr..
Harvey"
Frank could not believe his eyes or
ears. But he was not SO easily re-
buffed. He waited till her dance with
Harvey was over When he confronted
her once more, her rage and hurt
pride found voice in the low-spoken,
bitter words:
why don't you leave me? Can't
you see l am done with you? Don't
speak to me again"
Almost stunned. he made his way
out of the curious, whispering crowd,
into the mild February night, climbed
into his buggy and set out for home.
His world was in ruins about him.
This night that he had meant to be
one of the happiest and most momen-
tous of his existence, had marked the
end of things. Why had Fate sent
him that unlucky call to see old

HIS NAME IMMORTAL
WORLD OWES MUCH TO GENIUS
OF WESTINGHOUSE.
How His Air-Brake Has Made for Safe
ty of Railroad raveline-Incden
of His Youth Reveals His
Character.

That humanity has gained sufficient
confidence in railroads to sleep safely
on trains rushing through the country
at mile a minute is due to the genius
of George Westinghouse, the inventor
of the air-brake!
The great scientist, Lord Kelvin,
once said that "in character and
achievement Westinghouse was "one
of the great men of our time" Men
generally loved Westinghouse, al
though at the head of an industrial
enterprise representing $200,000,000
and employing $4,000 persons. All who
have seen train have also seen the
name Westinghouse" on the brake.
George Westinghouse, who died the
other day, was born on October 6,
1S46, at Central Bridge, N. Y, and
in 1855 the family moved to Science
tady, where his father, who also was
gifted as an inventor, established the
Schenectady Agricultural works.
The vice-president of the Westfng-
house company tells story of the boy
hood of the great inventor, which
shows that he was born with logged
pertinacity and even as youth would
stick to his views in the face of ridi-
Guile and protest.
The rule of the Westinghouse boys
was that the last one to get into bed
must blow out the candle. There were
three boys who occupied the one room
One night George was the last to get
into bed, but it was pretty cold, and
for that or some other reason best
known to himself he didn't blow out
the light. The brothers objected.
George only cuddled up into a more
comfortable position beneath the bed
clothes, and remained ohdurate to all
entreaties to get from under and blow
out the candle. Finally, the other two
boys thought they would get even and
they crept quietly out of bed, picked
up the candle and tip-toed with it over
to georges bed, intending to scorch
the end of his nose. When they
reached that point George blew out the
candle before it did any damage. 1t Is
said to be the only time that he did
blow it out.

German Locomotives for South Africa

German Locomotives for South Africa.
The South African government rail-
roads have recently ordered ten loco
motives from Messrs Maffef at Mu-
mich and 81 passenger cars from the
Hannoversche Waggonfabrik Aktien-
gasellscraft. The procedure has
caused something of sensation. 1t
was thought that the promise Of an
early delivery was the cause; but H.
Burton, minister for railways and har-
bors In South Africa, has declared In
public that there was also consider
able saving in cost. Compared with
the lowest British tenders the differ
ence in favor of the German was about
sixty-five thousand dollars on the loco
motives and 100000 on the cars. He
has also said that for some time past
the administration has bad reason to
be dissatisfied with a continual In
crease in the prices charged by British
firms, and although it was the policy
of the government to place orders with
British firms If possible, there was
ground for reasonable suspicion that
there was collaboration among them
and the time had come to introduce q
healthier attitude by calling for world
wide tenders. The locomotives viii

Dissipatinq Fog by Wireless.

The North Railroad company in
France is making experiments on the
use of wireless waves for clearing
away fog. 1t is we'll known that cleo
trio waves act upon the water par
ticles which make up fog, so as to dis
solve them and turn them into vapor.
Following this idea, 1t is claimed that
as much as 900 feet can be cleared up
in front of the electric wires which
are sending out the waves, the fog be-
ing at least partially dissipated, and
this will have great value in prac-
tise, especially for railroads and YES
sells at sea. The latter will have time
to avoid each other in this case.
