MY VALENTINE
Oh, tell me not in mOurnful lays,
That Life is just one grand, sweet dream
And that the story l did write,
Is not exactly what 'twould seem.
on, tell NE not that all my work
Spent on plot | thought sublime
Was done in vain, and yet, somehow,
My story seemed to be lime
Now, for a theme ! knew that Love
Is bred within us, every one;
And SO a youth and maiden fair,
Were by Dan Cupid fairly won.
Quite naturally, the girls papa
Does not approve of such a match;
He wants a count, duke, or earl,
No commonplace man for this catch.
But in the end the maid and youth
Outwit the pater, sure as sin;
Then both come home to board with pa
All is forgiven, peace again.

What luck! My story took this time
II. LYNN STALEY.
WHEN love flies out the doors of
the divorce court open.
WHAT has become of the old-fash-
toned girl whose chief diversion in
life was "settin' up" with her beau?
News Notes of Timely Interest.
Two valentines reached the ELS
worth store this morning. One went
TO the glove department; the other to
the desk Of the manager.
Speaking Of valentines, the kid next

girl in the room at school grew up to
be a bachelor.
The parcel post weight limit having
been raised lately, we ask our friends
to omit the regulation paper lace af-

instead-a bushel of turnips, say.

No boy e'er got the comic kind
With good opinion in his mind.
HERE'S MY VALENTINE, OLD TOWN.
When the Mail Man brings
The old News Times
In which Mary Clark sings
Her sentimental rhymes,
And Hi Sibley writes
Choice bits Of town talk
About the Bends bright % lights
lie meets on his walk,
When Chan does mediate
About old !. G. T.

He's been reading b. l.. t.
When old Bill McInerny
Inspires Ye Editorial Column
| Ct can sense that bright attorney
| In his legal phrases solemn
When I hear the good old name
| OF chum who stayed at home,
| Now having local fame.
| Out no hair upon his domeo

| Keep swelling IN my throat
! Until ! hear my heart thump,
| Like bilge pump, through my coat.
The world has pulled me away

IT is one of the tragedies of life
that eventually loves young dream
becomes q bald reality
a WIRELESS MESSAGE.
| "A Valentine" why, bless you
| don't know how to write
| A sonnet" TO a loved one
Who seems quite 'Out Of sight.'
He's brave and strong and handsome;
He's true rs steel and fine:
In fact, he's just the picture OF
An old ideal Of mine.
His voice is full Of courage.
His eyes are,-dark and deep.
Ills hand-clasp gives one courage
To climb the rocky steep.
I'm just bit bewildered
To tell you how he looks -
In fact you might be thinking
found him-midst my books.
But should you chance to see him.
Just tell him, 'sure" I'm thinking
Of him. just all the time!

HI SHELLEY
AFTER all, a valentine is nothing
more nor less than a common carrier
and if the truth we're known il prob
ably would be found guilty OF giving
rebates or losing its cargo in transit
ALL shipments should be made in
I sealed packages.
