Valentines day. Some people call them horrible
distortions of clodhopper humor; but that de-

most likely smile and let 1t go at that If he
doesn't. you have found a man without saving

Watch papa when he gets his on St Valentines
eve. If he just grins and makes some remark to
the effect that the manufacturer Of the valentine
is certainly upto-date in placing his caricatured
figure In an acceptance you may be sure he's
pretty good sort of papa who believes in boys
wearing their stockings out at the knee. But II he
doesn't If instead he makes wry face and wryer
remarks anent the unwholesome influence Of such
hideous atrocities upon the juvenile mind; he

of the days when he was kid himself The real,
good natured beloved papa isn't apt to mind In

with lump in his throat, well, guess boys will

And Sister Lu? 1t isn't altogether a pleasant
occasion for her, the receipt of comic portray
ing her as a vain vixen who spends most Of the
day and good part Of the evening admlring her
self In her mirror. It's a trif1e trying on ones
dignity Maidens In the popular romances OF the
day never have unpleasant experiences or that
sort-or at least, II they do the author forgets to
mention them.
But how different 1t is when really, truly
valentine arrives! Sister Lu is all smiles and ex-
element Who could it have come from? Stop
that, you Jane, 1t isn't yours at all, and you have
no business opening It. My, how beautful-how

Papa and mamma are called In 20 see what
gorgeous valentine Lu has received. Pa makes
some remarks about being willing to venture a
guess as to the identity Of the sender, with the
added insituation that the 81 the vlolets cost
might help some, at least in furnishing an apart

cries little Jane, dancing up and down and teas
ing her sister, with one chubby little forefnger
working diligently back and forth In "Pshaw!
For shame" fashion upon the other.
Sister Lu makes a great show Of trying to
think who in the world could have sent them.
And she appeals to mamma for her opinion In the
matter. Yes, mamma agrees, 1t might have been
Alfred or It might have been VIII, or 1t might
have been any one of dozen other young men
she knows. But Tom? Why Toms name is the
very last Of all mentioned though both she and
mamma know perfectly well the volets came
from him. Humphl Little Jane knew 1t was

An automatic signal and tram

great success and there is every
indication that the road will
adopt the new device over its
entire system. The cost of in.

claim that it is many times as

Test runs have been made fire,
quently over the tracks between
Ludlow and Williamsport, and
it is now intended TO further in
stall the line for distance of
fifty miles. Signals have been
picked up by trains going at a
speed of more than fifty miles an
hour, and superintendents, engi-

Music Is Popular at
the High School

Music is one of the most
popular of the studies at the
high school this year and more
than a hundred of the high
school students are in the thrf e
organizations which Miss EN-
ma Green, musical supervisor
of the city schools, has rganiz-
ed at the high school. Sixty
seven girls are in the girls cho-
rus, known as the "Cecilians;;"
% boys compose the boys glee
club and Is boys and girls make
up the high school orchestra.
Each student who belongs to
one of these organizations re-
ceives a half credit each year
for his work in music.
The interest in music is
greater this year at the high
school than ever before in the
history of the school. For in
stance. the girls vocal orgari-
cation three years ago number
ed only 80 members and last
year but 81, while this year 81
compose it. Glee club work
among boys was started two
years ago at the Mckee school
by Miss Green and last year
such work was attempted at
the high school for the first
time. The earlier work was
with boys who had changed
voices and also with those
whose tones had not undergone
the deepening process But
this year changed voices are
used entirely and full quartet
work is done.
This year the high school or.
chestra is composed altogether
of high school students, instead
of completing the instrumental
ton with one or two persons
from outside the school. All
but two of the members are ir
their first and second year OF
the orchestra work and severa
are beginners. All three Of
the organizations practice once
each week and are doing excel
lent work under the very com
petent direction of Miss Green
