In sending a valentine, all the pleas
ure lies in putting the recipient at his
or her wits end guessing who sent it.
A wonaan's intuition generally conveys
to her which one of her admirers is re-
sponsib1e for the tender sentiment
which had so delighted her fancy and
warmed her heart Most men, how
ever, are so obtuse that they are apt
to guess any but the right one as
sender.
He suspects a score or so of girls
and as many widows. He remembers
that a certain little niIIiner bIushed as
he passed her on the street lately. A
young lady at his boarding place told
his Iandlady she wished she had
beau like him; at least, SO he was CON
fdentially informed. The stenographer
in his Office dropped her eyes confused
ly as he came that morning, he recol-
lected. He knew, too, that his part
ner's sister-who was single-asked
him whether he liked sentimental po-
etry. Again, he half suspected the
pretty cashier in the hotel where he
stopped Of sending him the valentine.
She always seemed to take unusual
interest in him, if her smile and pleas
ant greeting meant anything.
But in a sea. where there were so
many guess-rafts floating about, he
hardly knew which to strike out for
and fasten the doubt upon He had
never been very much given to sentt-
ment But somehow it brought a
warm glow to his heart when he read
the lines:
oh! If it be to choose and call thee
mine,
Love, thou art every day my valen-
tine
Ever absent, ever near;
Still I see thee, still I hear;
Yet cannot reach thee, dear,
Save but by this valentine
The more a man ponders over who
1t possibly can be who has such q
heart for him the more determined he
is to find her. He breaches the sub
Ject of valentines to every woman he
knows and meets. He considers him
self extremely shrewd when he man
handwriting of these suspects to COM
pare it on the envelope In which the
valentine was inclosed. Every woman
whom he fatty accuses pleads MOI
guilty of being the sender. even
though, like Prince Charming, he de-
clares he will search the world over
to find and wed her. This valentine
affair opens his eyes to a strange truth
some one of them can keep a secret
When by chance he does come across
the sender of the valentine, she finds
her mystical lines have wrought a
charm in his heart:

ject about which she could talk freely
all she needed was a good listener.
This strange man, unlike her aunt,
seemed to be the very person to talk
to on the one really vital subject to
Peg. She said breathIessly:
''Sure me father can do anything at
aII-except make money. An when
he does make it he can't kape it. He
doesn't like it enough. Nayther do I.
We've never had very much to like,
but we've seen others around us with
plenty, an, faith, we've been the hap
piest-that we have.''
She only stopped to take breath be-
fore on she went again:
There have been times when we've
been most starvin', but me father new
er lost his pluck or his spirits. Nayther
did L When times have been the
hardest I've never heard word of
complaint from me father nor seen a
frown on his face. An Tn sick for
the sight of him. An I'm sure he is
for me-for his Peg o. Ny Heart as

REASONS WHY CORBIN
 STRIKERS REMAIN OUT
Say Higher Wages Are Paid for Same Work in
 Bridgeport.

The strikers committee of the ma chine operators of the Corbin Screw Corporation this morning issued the following statement:
 We, the employees of the Corbin Screw Corporation who are now on strike, wish to bring to the atten- tion of the citizens of New Britain why we feel certain that our grievance is just and reasonable. We know that this Corporation can well afford to give us an eight hour day with ten hours pay when we come to com pare the wages that they are paying here in this factory with the wages that are being paid in other cities throughout the state. For a com parison we are quoting the prices paid in Bridgeport.
 Automatic machine operators are paid on an average of $2.75 a day, whereas in Bridgeport they are get ting $4 a day rate and allowed to make $5 and over in piece work, while the lathe milling and drill press operators day rate ranges from $1.25 to S2.25 and when we are work ing on piece work we are only all lowed to make $2.40 a day and if anybody makes over that in a day 1t means a cut in price. In Bridge port for the same class of work they get $3.25 a day. and on piece work are allowed to make S4 a day, and those are eight hour shops. AS to the methods that they use in setting a price for piece of work the fore man will come with a stop watch and time us and they do not make any allowance for the setting up of the machine which at times will take up any where from two to three hours to do it, and then when 1t comes to grinding of the tools and gauge the work, man has to work hard even to make the rate that is allowed us.
 . "Therefore. we are determined to stay out until we get the eight hour day with ten hours pay, and as pa triotic citizens We want our city to be brought up to the standard of other cities throughout this state. and we will remove that stigma that our city has had for a good many years, as the cesspool of labor"

 According to witnesses, the woman stopped in front of IS6 Broad street and tied the reins to the front wheel of the wagon. She then went into a nearby residence.
 After waiting impatiently the horse began to back down the hill. With each revolution of the wheel the reins frightened until at length the unfor- tunate horse was pulled back on It's launches and in a panic of fright was either strangled to death or died of a broken back.

DELCASSE QUIT POST
 BECAUSE OF FRICTION
DissensiOns Between Himself and Other Ministers of
 French Cabinet.

Paris, Oct. IA, 6:05 a. m.-Theo- phile Delcasse, who retired yesterday from the office of foreign minister, in his letter of resignation did not assign poor health as the reason for leaving the cabinet, but rather dis sensions between himself and other ministers in regard to the French foreign policy, says the Radical
 This letter, which Premier Nviani refused yesterday to read in the chamber of deputies, recalls certain facts, discussion of which the censor forbids
 The resignation of M. Delcasse has produced a profound effect upon the French public although it has been known for some time that there was friction between him and the rest of the cabinet. The press generally abstains from comment, but what lit tie is said is hostile to the retiring minister. Writers blame him for the failure of the Balkan policy and charee that he is trying to shift the burden of responsibility upon his for mer colleagues instead of finding a remedy for mistakes. His illness is regarded as of a diplomatic char acter. m .s.,v.-
 Georges Clemenceau, who all along has attacked the French foreign pol icy, declares:
 "Viviani refused to read the letter in which his colleague resigned. All he can say is that Delcasse is in full agreement with him. It is the first time a minister has resigned his post because of the absence of disagree m ment:"
