A Reminder.

1t seems to be an American custom
that when a man marrles, after hav-
ing spent considerable sums of money
on his future bride for flowers, thea
ter, gifts, etc, including a large
amount for the floral display at the
wedding. he then Immediately stops
everything OF the kind. There are
many theories to account for this phe-
nomenon, but we are all we'll ac-
quainted with the fact of its exist
ence. 1t is not due to seiflshness, for
getfulness nor lack of funds, but
seems to be merely the custom.
! Now, Valentine Day is just the
right day to reawaken with gift OF
flowers that sentiment which perhaps
is lost, A few roses, bunch of vio-
let's, will recall all the pleasures OF
counting days, when Cupid was king
Then again, for mother, or dear old
aunt or sister, affection is born anew
by some such token as pot of prim-
roses.

strained under the stern needs OF
modern life.

but six or seven in the place. The
bandits came down stairs with their
faces covered with pieces of black

MYSTERIOUS FIRE BURNS

who went to the aid of Mrs. Will

friends in Reno. who hurried out to

is placed at $500. The hay hands
had left and the men regularly EN-
ployed on the were AVA LOT
the day when the fire broke out
shortly after the dinner hour.
The theory has been advanced that
someone dropped a match. a pipe or
a cigarette stub in the barn. 1t is
not believed that the fire started
from spontaneous combustion in hay
which had been stacked before it
was cured thoroughly. Mrs Will
Jams is certain the blaze originated
in the barn.
