TIME FOR LOVING THOUGHTS
ST. Valentines Season Should Give

Sentiments.

In Oriental countries garland OF
flowers is flung over the garden wall
Everywhere, all over the earth, the

not, is honored with the most beautiIul
sentiments-the giving of a gift OF
love, without the thought of return
or even of recognition of the gilt
Let us, then, be worthy of this an
cient meaning of the day, and not de-
grade it by sending silly verses, OF
ugly pictures, as valentines. There are
SO many graceful and tasteful things
that we might do instead. There is'

The first night found Lincoln up until after the
midnight hour reading by the glare of the burn
ing logs in the fireplace.
Many days after this found Lincoln attending
court at Boonville regularly. More often was he
found reading books in the private library of
Mr.. Breckenridge
The greater part of the Breckenridge library is
still in existence though some of the books are
torn and tme-worn and show that they have been
made brown before the blazes OF the open Preside
They are owned by different lawyers in Boon
vile and are valued highly because they are the
books read by the great war president when he
resolved to study law
Upon one occasion Lincoln attended a murder
trial at Boonville and heard the case from begin
ming to end. The trial seemed interesting to him.
but the most exciting feature of the whole case
was the argument before the jury The most elo-
quent plea and argument was made by Kentucky
lawyer named Breckenridge a kin to John A.
Breckenridge OF Indiana. After his argument be-
fore the jury an of the prominent men in the court
room rose 20 congratulate him. Lincoln was in
the court room ct the time and he anxious
to shake hands with the eminent iurist In appre-
citation of his effort in behalf of his client.
Lincoln pushed himself through the crowd up to
the attorney and when he stretched out his hand
to shake, Mr.. Breckenridge pushed him aside and
shook hands with those whom he considered more
prominent. Lincoln smtten by this act and
always remembered the name of Breckenridge
the attorney from Kentucky.
Several years after, at the second Inauguration
of Lincoln thousands of people greeted the great
war president Hundreds of this number came
from Kentucky. and among the number was this
man breckenridge. Recognizing him at once as
the man who ignored him at Boonville several
years previous, Lincoln grasped the mans hand
with hearty shake and said:
Il more than glad to you than any man
I know Of have always wanted to congratulate
you upon that speech you made at Boonville sew
eral years ago
Lincoln did not have to tell breckenridge upon
that occasion he ignored him, when he was
poor struggling man. for Breckenridge followed
with complete apology.

LOVE is NEVER BLIND
Little God May Do Strange
Things, but His Eyesight Is
of the Best.

~ EFORE Miriam became engaged to
W marry Fred she had heard much
and read more about love- Love"
is this; love is that; love" is the
other thing. Love" gives all; love"
demands sacrifices; love spells hap
piness: love means misery, and so
on through long list of possible and
impossible conditions.
Being a perfectly normal man, Fred
had certain faults.
Some of them were glaring, but Mir
lam, If she saw them at all, forgave
them because she loved him.
A friend said: Miriam, don't see
how you can endure Fred. He's so
full of faults. But suppose love is
blind and you don't notice his short
eomings."
Then it was that Miriam consulted
Aunt Anna.
Is love blind, auntie, dear?' said
she. "Or does it give one an insight
into the real charm and goodness un-
seen by others?"
THAT depends, child, upon the kind
of love, and also upon the individ-
ual.
Surely from the many insists the
many unsuitable matches we see,
am inclined to say that love is not
only blind, but deaf and dumb as well
You remember, my dear, Jim Mer-
lin, an avowed worshiper Of beauty,
married Ellen Short, one of the home
Hest girls in the village.
I'VE see beautiful women marrying
perfect frights-coarse ignorant men
and one scarcely can pick up a pa
per but one sees story of an heiress
clipping with chauffeur or groom,
boy marrying a woman old enough to
be his grandmother, or a sweet young
debutante selling herself to the an
cient millionaire"
1T seems to me the only way we
can account for these vagaries of senti-
ment is that Cupid has suddenly been
struck blind, or long-distance tele-
scope enables him to see charms and
PROJECTIONS In individuals that are quite
invisible to the rest of the world" re-
piled the younger.
Miriam. you have often said of your
own friends: I cannot tell what on
earth she sees in that man to love;
he's such an impossible person No
doubt some of your friends say the
same thing of you and Fred. q
Thus we go on bordering over this
mystery Of love--love that comes with
out invitation, and sometimes goes we
know not where.
j think, dear, the truth of the mat
ter is that love between a man and
woman is purely matter of attrac-
ton, and that neither eyesight nor
Judgment plays any part whatever.
We love or we hate by instinct. 1t
is not matter of head, but Of the
heart.
"A woman may observe in q man
every admirable quality, yet she can
not love him; yet the man who pos
sesses many faults which she plainly
sees may win her love without even
trying to.
Men, you know, are curious ami
mails. One may pass by woman who
is endowed with all the virtues, the
accomplishment and the charm of
eemininity. yet will marry crude lit
tie butterfly of fashion with no claim
either to good looks or wisdom"
