Day When Love Is King.

The celebration known as st. Val
entine's day has greatly ~degenerated
in the past two hundred years. There
was a time when it held a prominent
and honored place among its sister
festivals, and was almost religiously
observed. So far as young people
were concerned, this festival in olden
times was the keystone of the years
social activities. 1t had a special
significance understood by all, and
was a splendid means of matchmak-
ing-of promoting early and desirable
marriages. Surely there is no reason
why "the divine passion" should not
have a day dedicated to its celebration
and diffusion. st. Valentines day is
this day-the day when love is king,
and it behooves the minated to obey
his unwritten but potent and agree
able mandate.

HIS AWFUL SHOCK
How John Henry Came Very Near
to Losing the Lady of
His Heart.

" DUNG John Henry Smith met
" Miss Arabel Jones at one of
those functions where one
dances until ne has reached
the ultimate of endurance and then
hurls tea into himself. Immediately
he became one Of the many calfike
followers of Miss Jones, a thoroughly
infatuated young man who trailed her
whenever he could, gazing at her with
brooding, sorrowful eyes, and COCA
sionally uttering bovine noises.
Winter crowded onto the heels of
spring, and eventually the 14th of
February arrived, and John Henry
Smith, being a young man of enter
prise and determination, sent to Miss
Jones a valentine, which cost $3.50,
and which contained a wealth of lurid'
sentiments. Being aware of the nice

misery in the kidney region, sharp

you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush of

ounces Of Jad Salts from any phar-

glass Of water before breakfast for q

How Custom Has Spread.

When St. Valentines name was
placed in the church calendar the day
of his death was made a festival to
Offset that of the Lupercalia on the
18th. In Allen Buffers Lives of the
Saints" we read that the jealous
Christian fathers tried to substitute
the. names of the saints for those of
girls in the lottery game, but without
success. So the valentine custom
spread from Rome through Europe to
Great Britain, always in high favor,
and later in the form of sending ten
der missives came to America.

name to the valentine. This anony-

home about one hour before John
Henry, dressed to the verge of foppish-

a large expectant smile, made his ap-

He was let in. Shortly afterward
Miss Jones entered the room and i'm.

RELIGIOUS Civilizations.

1T is an extraordinary fact that SO
many American men should be willing
to shirk their religious obligations.
They do it habitually. while in the
days of courtship they may be found
in the church, but after the wedding
day they attend church less frequently,
and by and by drop out altogether.
This constitutes for many a woman
her first serious domestic problem. She
does not know what her duty is. She
the church, and she also loves
her husband. If he prefers to stay at
home, she is likely to stay with him.
