pitcher than Alexander before the close
of the present season. While Alexan-
der is going better than ever in his
career, James has been of little use to
the Braves, and this is the main rea-
son why Stallings' team is so far down
in the race.
James has had trouble with his@arm
throughout the spring, and this was
said to have been due to a cold in
his shoulder, caught during the spring
training, but scribes on the Pacific
coast, where James lives, declare that
he, like Leonard of the Red Sox, in
jured his arm pitching last winter
without proper training.
Several times James has shown
flashes of his 1914 form, but just when
great things were expected of him the
big spitballer's arm has gone back on
him. James case is very similar to
that of George Chalmers, and he will
probably come around in good shape,
but will hardly be of much use to the
Braves for the rest of the season I'M
less his arm suddenly responds to
treatment.

Amos Spriggs'
Valentine
A Missive Long Delayed
Held a Message of Love
BY CLARISSA MACKIE

Mr.. Amos Spriggs busted the shelves
and counters Of his stationery shop,
and as he flicked the frazzled feather
buster he whistled a vague tune which
now and then came to an abrupt halt
when the door opened to admit Gus
toner.
Il want to see your valentines, Mr..
Spriggs," was the customers invariable
greeting, and although Amos had dis
carded sentiment for dollars and cents
these many years past, he hustled to
and fro, displaying many airy, delicate
CONNECTIONS of gilt and lace paper,
hearts and cupids, flying ribbons and
poetical pleas, until at last the boxes
were empty.

over a collection Of irreverent comic

Now it's the state immigration bu
reau that is to be put out of business
because it is making good. The house
committee on public accounts and ex'
penditures has decided to recommend
the adjustment Of the bureau. The
reason, it is said, is that the advertis"
ing done by the bureau is mainly of
benefit to the real estate men. We
can't understand how any considerable
number of settlers can locate in this
state without the real estate men get
ting some benefit. If the real estate
men are getting business, Minnesota
is getting settlers and that is what
Minnesota wants.

A regular meeting Of the Firemen 8
Relief association will be held at the
city hall tonight, at which time the
proposition Of the purchase Of fire
truck for the city will be considered.
The association now has about $500
in its treasury and the members think,
says the president, that the truck can
be purchased with association funds
as the annual receipts are large
enough to take care Of the sick and
funeral benefits. F. w. Lyon, presi.
dent Of the association, states that
when the matter was taken up at the
last meeting the members had not had
opportunity to carefully consider the
proposition, but that since that time
the most of them have agreed that it
is the best thing to do, and he thinks
that at the meeting tonight they will
vote to purchase it. = ~---,s *

A HEAP OF VALENTINES.

phoned to Whitehall, the nearest town
to see if the shopkeeper there coull
spare some Of the tender missives.

year," complained the man in White

evening asking for something haven't

Amos lighted the swinging lamps
about the store and ate his supper In
the lonely sitting room in the rear
He had inherited the business from
his father and at his mothers death
had moved out Of the comfortable
homestead to the snug rooms behind
the shop.
The shop bell rang, and Amos went
out in his leisurely, dignifed way to
wait upon the customer.
Amos, when Miss Evalina Terry's
coachman turned his black, shining
face toward him. Jerry was sixty odd
years and picturesque character with
his white, woolly head protected by
one of old Judge Terry's ancient high
hats, and his erect form clad in an
equally antiquated fur lined ulster.
"Evenin', Mr.. Spriggs," returned
Jerry, stamping his feet and clapping
his mittened hands. "Gwine ter hab
some snow, sah."
"What can I do for you, Jerry?''
asked Amos across the counter.

times, sab. Seems like she ordered
some from de city, and dey amt never

Miss Sue Bruce's and ask Miss Sue to
come heah an pick out de valumtimes,
but Miss Sues gone over to Whitehall,
and so l came on my own 'sponsi-
bility."
Amos smiled sympathetically, but
his rather delicate features displayed
embarrassment.
Evalina Terry had been sweet
heart Of his, and the rupture between
them had never been healed.
1T will be hard matter for you to
make a choice, Jerry, unless you have
a list of what Miss Terry needs"
The old man fumbled in his pockets.
.Heah's de list she sent Miss Sue," he
said, producing folded paper.
''Dear me, jerry" cried Amos sud-
denly. aghast. II haven't got valen-

which had brought him back to Eva
