Children Chsnted Songs.
This quaint letter shows how the
idea of the powers of St Vanentine
were appreciated by the msidens of
that time. 1t was customary in the
olden times for maidens to hang their
shoes outside the window on the eve
| of st. Vanentine's day in order that
their love affairs should prosper, al.
! though the explanation of this belief
is not given. Children also went about
| chanting songs about Valentine and
| collecting coins as their valentines.
The valentine gifts of those days
/ were sometimes very costly, icludlng
| jewels, rings. brooches, silken sashes
or belts with begemmed buckles, silk
! gloves with rich embroidery, and other
expensive presents which a man might
make to his valentine"
! St Valentines day was alluded to
by Shakespeare and Chaucer, and one
OF the earliest known writer's of valen-
tines was Charles, duke of Orleans,
Drayton, poet of Shakespeare time,
also wrote charming verses along this
| theme.
! What connection the martyred Bishop
| Valentine has to do with these Gus
/ toms, whose ruler seems TO be Cupid,
would puzzle the saint himself. The
death OF the good bsnos, which oc-
Cured in the third century, was a
most cruel one. He was first beaten
with clubs and then beheaded. Thus
it seems paradoxical that the com
memoration Of him shield be observed
in the gayest of fashions, and always
in conjunction with the pranks OF the
little god of love
Many learned historians have given
considerable time and investigation to
the origin OF the romantic observance
of st Valentines day, but the secret
is still secret-the real mystery ia
| still unsolved

That was my first meeting with
Abraham Lincoln.
Mr.. Lincoln went into the basement
where the landlord had a carpenter
shop, and returned with two heavy
timbers across his shoulders. With
them he made a slide between the
wagon and the front doorsteps. He
got the piano unloaded, with the as
sstance of Mr. Under and Mr.. SWEET
amid the jokes of the crowd.
Before they had screwed tbs legs
into place, dinner was announced. and
the men h1ried to the back porch,
where there were two tin wash ba-
sins, long roller towel and a coarse
comb for the guests.
After dinner Mr. Lincoln superin-
tended the setting up of the piano
and even saw to it that It stood square
in the center of the wall space. He
received my thanks with a polite
bow. and asked. do you intend to
follow court and giee concerts? ?" The
immense relief expressed on his coun-
/ tenance when l assured ham that he
would not be called upon to move
the piano again was very amusing
Then may we have one tune be-
fore we go?" he asked, and l played
Rosin the Bow, with variations.
Some one shouted: "Come on, boys.
the Judge wia be waltzing!' After
had assured them that, 4 they de-
sired it, l would give my first and
only concert On this circuit when
they returned to the hotel in the eve,
ming. the crowd dispersed.
That night l played and sang nu-
merous songs, all Of which met with
applause. AS a finale ( sang He
Doeth All Things Well" after which
Mr.. Lincoln, in a very grave manner,
thanked me for the evenings enter
tainment, and said: "Hon't let u spoil
that song by any other music to
night" Many times afterward sang
that song for Mr.. Lincoln; be was al
ways fond Of it-Mrs. J. II john

These circles are small and the re-

LIFETIME ON ENGINE
ENGINEER WHO HAS, SPENT
FiFTYREvEH YEARS IN CAB.
Also Has the Record Of Never lnJur-
Ing a Human Being In That Time
Now 10 Retired on
Pension.

Moving the population Of 30 towna
ct a rate OF speed from 80 to go mics
an hour, taking people away from
their homes and bringing them back
without injury to man, woman or
child, Is the kind of a job a North
western engineer has retired from
after sticking tn 1t for 81 years. He be-
gan with the first short line of the.
Northwestern when It was known as
the Chicago & Galena Union, and
quits when 1t is 10000 miles long.
Dan futile is the name OF this g n
gtneer who began working for the
company Ave years before the war.
He quit long enough to help in tn.
wa and then went back to his Job.
Most Of the service as engineer was
performed on two Illinois lines, one
OF them between Chicago and Free.
port and the other between Chicago
and Sterling. The trains handled by
futile were fast between Chicago and
West Chicago. He did business with
all OF the stations on both lines while
he was on one or the other, SO hat he
carried the people of each town n
way or the other or both.
1t Is safe to say Dan futile carried
every living SOU in all T. towns at
one time or another. Some of them he
carried twice a day, for they would
come to the city with him in the morn
Ing and 20 back home behind him In
the evening. He has carried at least
three generations Of the same families,
In some instances more. and in the
long run he has carried other towns
In the same way, for there was a long
time when the train would stop at
every station between its terminals.
futile Is acquainted with not only
thousands Of men, women and children
who have seen his face framed in a
cab window 80 long,. but he knows al.
most every inch Of the right Of way by
sound as well rs by sight. Engineers
grow to. accurately locate their where.
abouts In the densest fogs by the rum
BILE Of the drivers over ~culverts and
bridges.
This man who has Just been retired
on q pension has worked through the
entire span Of railway improvements,
from the time when wood was burned
in the furnace and tallew candles
Illuminated the cars, and from the day
when the man in the cab had nothing
to depend ON save his keen look ahead,
and hen on down to The modern day
when he is expectcl to pick all the
cclors of the rainbow out Of a myriad
of lights in a railroad yard whether
they be placed at the end of a rail
or high in a maze Of targets reaching
clear across a right of way.
