"one sin is deadly, one hole will sink

Watch out for Cupid St. Valentines
Day comes on Sunday, and it's lucky
manor an unlucky one, according to the
point of view-who can escape his fren-
zied onslaught.
Three hundred and slXty-five days In
the year the little fat boy plays his game
of pairing hearts out in the open and
with some regard for the fitness of things.
On February IA, however he changes his
tactics entirely and becomes a veritable
little imp of obscurity, waging guerrilla
warfare from the most unlikely places,
shooting his arrows promiscuously into
the hearts of the most unsuspecting per-
sons.
From the fragant ambuscade of bunch
of dewy vIolets he may pop out suddenly
and stab you with his love-tipped dart.
You will not know what hit you. per-
chance, for love is binding, so the poets
say, and Valentine violets always come
anonymously, anyway; but you're
marked maid, for Cupid always means
business when he uses anonymous poesies
as a hiding place.
FAINT HEART NEER WON.
This is the salvation time, too, of the
shy lover, the day when the little blind
god takes him under his wing and ad-
ministers to him sound berating and
some necessary advice.
See here" he says to him, this will
never do. Be bold. be bold, If you would
win her."
And then the encouraged youth flies
forth into the flower shops, to the candy
emporlums and the valentine booths. All
the kisses that he wanted to give, but
hasn't dared. are represented in the 900
sweet peas he orders. And then he
wonders If he hadn't ought to have made
1t a thousand or million, and straight
way he rushes off to follow up this gift
with another more tender to proclaim his
love.
He thinks an old-fashioned valentine
would appropriately express the emotions
that are making his heartbeats resound
in his ears like monster waves on q
stormy coast. Alas! the big shops do

the evangelist said a prayer himself.
When the meeting had adjuorned Mr..
Wanamaker told the evangelist It did his
heart good to see so many aged men
present. When asked what else impressed
him he stated he was surprised to hear

Wanamaker declared, one would suppose
Sunday did not preach without it.
TABERNACLE CROWDED BY NOON.
The thousands who gathered in the
tabernacle before noon were entertained
for almost two hours by members of the
Sunday party before BILLY" began to
preach
Ma Sunday was the first to take the
platform. She conducted a song service
and told amusing stories, among them
one of a little glrl who liked the song,

When BILLY" arrived. about 1925
o'clock, he held consultation with ma"

would preach but one sermon and that
those who occupied the reserved section
would have to come on the platform and

trombone, and while this was going on

and more sentimental day. This is a
practical age. he is told, and modern
valentines are clever, cute and artistic,
but precious few of them are senti-
mental.
MODERN VALENTINES.
He sees valentines for the suffragette
and valentines for the eugenist. One
cunning little Dutch girl holds card
which reads:

looking for something that has bleeding

nMAn SUNDAY SPREADS CHEER

Ma" Sunday brought cheer to scores
of checked "kiddies" when she inspected
the tabernacle nursery shortly before the
sermon this afternoon. Mrs. Sunday
brought two armfuls of flowers which
she presented to Mrs. E. X. Ross, who
was in charge. Before leaving, Mrs. Sum
day shook hands with Mother Sarah
Bell, the n natron. "Im glad to meet you,
Mother" she said, II have heard a lot
about you" Ma" said the nursery was
spick and span in every respect, and she
compllmented those in charge and patted
every childish cheek before she left.

But the sentimental lover has no eye
for these. He's wondering whether or not
he dare append his initials to the val
entine he has purchased. But no. Thls
isn't according to Hoyle. An old legend,
he remembers says that the course OF
true love will never run smooth for him
who doesn't abide by the precepts of st.
Valentine. In cold sweat at his unprec-
edented boldness he suffers reaction
and disguises mis- handwriting on the en-
velope so that she will not recognize the
sender.
Poor goose! She wears his flowers and
cherishes his old-fashioned Valentine and
prays Cupid that he'll soon get UP cour-
age enough n DOD the question,
And thus does the little blind god
amuse himself on st. Valentines Day.

CHILD THANKS CHILLY"
Evangelist Weeps on Reading Letter
of Gratitude.


A child, who signed herself simply IA
Little Admirer," brought tears to the
eyes OF Billy Sunday today by letter
telling how her father. converted by the
evangelist. had stopped drinking and had
bought her badly needed pair of shoes.
The little girl wrote to thank Mr. Sun
day for the shoes Her letter follows:
Excuse me for addressing you, per-
feet stranger, but any one who is close
and near to our Lord Jesus is dear to
me- l want to write and thank you for
a new pair of shoes that are a great
comfort to me. We are very poor, and
had to go to school with shoes that were
worn through and through A few days
ago my daddy bought me a brand new
pair, and when I asked him why he gave
them to me he said he had been to hear
you preach, had been converted and was
going to spend the money he formerly
spent on drink for clothes for his family.
God bless YOU"

Address In Parliament.

Douglas, Ariz., Nov. S.-Repulsed,
after terrific assaults upon the Car
rama garrison at Aqua Prieta, So
uora, the army of General Villa VITA
drew and professed to be waiting for
more ammunition and reinforcements.
Throwing themselves against the
Carranza Notifications protecting
Aqua Prieta with terrific fury as a
climax to a fourteen-hOur attack, the
Villistas made the supreme attempt
to carry the breastworks by storm.
The Carranzista defenders exploded
mines and plowded into their ranks
with machine guns and snrapnel until
the entire Villa army was thrown
back. The Villa Yaqui Indian contin-
gent is said to have borne the brunt
of the charge. General Gales, the
CarPaHza commander, asserts that at
least 800 of the Villa troops were kill
ed in that one charge alone.
Eleven persons have been shot on
the American side of the line, two
American soldiers having been added
te the list when bullets from Villa ma
chine guns hit Sergeant Walter Mayo
and Private James Mitchell, who
were in a trench near the United
States custom house.
General Funston sent sharp warn'
ings to both villa and Gales that the
wounaing Of Americans must cease.
