TRIBUTE THAT WILL ENDURE
President Linooln's immortal Letter to
 Mother Who Had Lost Her Four / Sons in Battle. }.

Among the stories of the war in Flu rope there are several which tell of mothers who have lost all their sons an of France whose three sons went to the, front, two of them to meet death almost instantly and the third to die almost before the sound of taps had died away from over the graves of his brothers. Always in war from all countries engaged there are these stories of the mothers sacrifices.
 It is not an unusual thing to find all the sons of family at .thex front at the time of their country's need. It is unusual that all should meet death, and when this occurs the pathos and the human interest of the happening bring instant attention It is certain that in the present war, with it's ap- palling casualty list. there wil1 be mothers of every country engaged who win find themselves left alone. Not one-half of the pain of war is on the battle line;
 It was: a Massachusetts mother whose four sons were killed in one battle of the Civil war. Aletter which Abraham Lincoln wrote to this mother who gave her four sons to death is a monument which will be as lasting as any which nation could provide. It gis said that copy of Lincoln's letter hangs on the wall of an English uni versity, and that underneath it is writ ten the word of great Englishman that it is perhaps the finest example ,of letter {, writing in existence. A mother gives up her children to her country. No tribute even from the pen of a Lincoln can make full nay ment for the gift. s'F'

INVINCIbLES DO "C0ME BACK," AND
 BEAT PHIL0 FIVE
Crippled Teams Battle at Y. M. c. A. Last Night
 to 36-18 Score.

Ire second game of basket ball Of le series between the Invincible and the PhilomathG an societies of the The lnvincibles did the "ce're back stunt" and defeated the Philos by the score 3S t. Is. Lls Tuesday night, tn Pailos had the long, end of the score, easily defeating the lnvinci- bles by score AZ to 39. By winning last night the Invincibles have tied the selies. and the third game will be played some time this week.
 Both teams were handicapped, and not all ',he regular players were in the game. Vernon Niven, star guard of the Philo team, is Out for the sea- s2n because of injuries, which tn :: d ctOr says may prevent him from participating in athlstc events this year. Doc Mccain. be,ter known as "Heinie." is stuff sring with a badly swollen foo. which may keep hin out for some time. Both these are regu- dars On the High team and thsy will bc missed. as Little Rock comes next Friday night and it was hoped to have the teaTi in the best possible condi,icn to meet them.
 Invincibles Begin Early.
 The lnvincibles took the lead and at no time were the Philos close to then. Capt. Quinn was handicapped very much. for he depended a great deal on "Karne" Niven to guard "Blutch" Jcnes, while he played the flocr. As it was, he had to stay close to his man and did na. play his usual brilliant game. Al the end of the first half score was 22 to 3 for tho Invincibles. The Philos came back strong in the las. half. Quinn his place al. guard. and held Dansby to' two field goals. Cross at center played in his usual form, and was all over thc floor and made two field goals and three from fouls. During this half, the Philos' made 15 pcints and the invincibles 16. but they could mt ever cover the big lead of the first half.
 Dansby showed some real class at zeal shooting. dropping hen. in at all .ngles while he was being closely guarded by the Capt. Quinn, and made four baskets off him in the first half and two in the second making his total F points while Jones had field goals. and 10 fouls making his total 22 points. Harry Mcintyre played gocd defensive game and was in the game at all times.
 E. P. Osborne. formerly with !.he Y. M. c. A. here. refereed the game for which the boys thank him very ll uch.

RICHARD GENIUS STAGING BOUTS
 AT BIG PROFIT
Promoter of Willard- Moran Mill Con- fident Fracas Will Be
 Money Maker.

New York, Feb. 12.-Tex Rickard, the Man Who Never Lost" finds that very few New Workers share his pres ent confidence that he will make money through tha staging of the WillardMOran fracas here on March IT,
 "rhe bout will be money-maker," asserts Rickard, in face of the fact that it will cost him about $9O,O00 td stage it.
 Tex Is Promotion Genius.
 Rickard is the man who has startled the pugilistic world on several other occasions by offering huge guarantees to fighters-then startled it a bit more bp making good.
 When he guaranteed Bat Nelson s2C,O00 and Joe Cans $1O,0OO for their fight in Goldfield some years ago everyone thought he was what is com monly called nut" The opinion became general when he gave Nelson $2,500 and Cans $l,O00 extra as bonus, making the total pay for the fighters $33,50G. But Rickard merely smiled at the sneers, staged the bout, and took in $69,715. His own profit in that deal was in the neighborhood of $4O.000, including moving picture profits.
 In 1910 when Rickard guaranteed a S101,000 purse and later added $2U,- 900 bonus for the Johnso1-Jefferie battle he almost was alone in the be- lief that the bout would make money for him. He went ahead and built S39.0G0 arena in California, and then had to abandon 1t because the law brred the staging of the act there.
 Cleared $160,0OO at Reno.
 Undaunted. and taking the $3O,OO0 loss in a matter of fact way, Rickard cured heavy expenses, disregarded the scoffing of the ''wise ones" and put on the fight The gate" amounted to $270,775. Deducting all expenses Richards net profit was $1S0.000. Of this amount $110,000 came from nov ing picture profit and the other $70,- 900 from the gate receipts.
 And now. while the experts are declaring that Rickar6 is going to receive husky financial jolt through this Willard-Moran affair, the Man Who Never Lost" refuses to be dis turbed; refuses to have" shaken his superb confidence that he will clear. at least $25.0G0 on the affair.
 T went into this thing with my eyes open" declared Rickard. "1 realize that the expenses will be big. have guaranteed Willard $4O,00O and Moran S20,00O. It will cost me prob- ably $3G,000 more to put on the fight i That makes $90.000. But I took all that into consideration before I went after the fight. l wanted it-and l got it.
 II don't think paid too high. After is over there probably will be some | people who agree with me

Day When Love is King.

[
 The celebration known as St. Val entine'sA day has greatly degenerated in the past two hundred years. There was time when it held prominent and honored place among it's sister festivals. and was almost religiously observed. So far as young people we're concerned, this festival in olden times was the keystone of the years social activities. It had 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 s'the divine passion" should not have day dedicated to it's celebration and diffusion. St. Valentines day is this day-the day when love is king, and 1t behooyes the unmated to obey his unwritsen but potent and agree able mandate

\ How custom Has Spread.

When St. Valentines .name was placed in the church calendar the day of his death was made festival to offset that of the Lupercalia on the 18th. In Allen Buffers Lives of the Saints" we read that the zealous Christian fathers tried to substitute the names of the saints for those of girls ih 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.
