THE STORY

Belonging to one Of the finest fam
lilies In Virginia, the son OF old Judge
Kent of the Circuit Court, and be-
trothed to beautiful Virginia Fairfax,
young Jackson Kent had everything
before him. When the pearls stolen
at Col. Monroe's ball were found In
his overcoat pocket AMI he would
make no explanation Jackson's future
was blasted.
He left the county seat and was not
heard Of again until his indictment In
Evansville for embezzlement from the
local bank. II did not help him any
that his father by the irony OF fate
should sit on the case; rather made
1t harder. Judge Kent imposed the
maximum sentence, ten years. The
spectacle OF the father on the bench
forced by his sense OF honor and duty
to sentence his own son was one OF
the saddest sights In the history OF
Evans County,
The unravelling OF the tangle and
the discovery OF the real culprit gives
the county seat q chance for rejoicing.
II you enjoy play with heart inter-
est, love, honor and duty all rolled
into one, you will be sure to see THE
Majesty OF the Law"

SO cheerfully convincing withaI.

so cheerfully convincing withal.
1t is pleasing thus to be able to
conceive Of the saint as a young lover,
the initiated Archfamen of Hymen, as
Charles Lamb named him, removed
in the early stages of a mounting pas
sion to be the patron Of all true lovers,
and to inspire forever the daintily
sentimental, endearingly naive, over
decorated human documents we call
valentines.
The pretty customs of the Lovers
Festival have fiourished for centuries
on the European continent, in England
and Scotland, and even in America to
some extent. But the ceremonial of
Valentine Choosing, which Is actually
an adaptation of the blind lottery Of
the Roman Lupercalia, is now unused.
Mission the Traveller gives this seven
teenth century account OF the ritual:
AN equal number of maids and
bachelors indite their names upon sep
arate billets, which they roll up, and
draw by way Of lots, the maids TAX
ing the mems billets and the men the
maids; so that each of the young men
lights upon a girl that he calls his
valentine, and each Of the girls upon a
young man whom she calls hers. By
this means each has two valentines;
but the man sticks faster to the val
entine to whom he had fallen. For
tune having thus divided the company
into so many couples, the valentines
give balls and treats to their mis-
tresses. wear their billets several days
upon their bosoms or sleeves and this
little sport often ends in love-"

Trivial Annoyanoes.

II is surprising how trivial are the
annoyances which suffice to make
some men miserable. A lump of SCOT
falling on a mans linen; a beefsteak
overdone; losing a railway train by
forty seconds, after running himself
out of breath; visit from a bore when
he is overwhelmed with cares; the
rasping of his nerves by hand organ
when he is weary, inclined to head
ache or trying to sleep; even the want
of a pin. or shirt button flying off at
an unlucky moment. as when he is
dressing for a dinner party and has
scant time in which to do tall these
are annoyances which sorely try a
mans patience and chafe and vex
many a person more than a serious
misfortune.
Alexander Smith goes so far as to
say that II during thirty years all the
annoyances brought on with defalcat-
ing shirt buttons alone could be gath
cred into a mass and endured at once.
It would be misery equal to a public
execution.
