AMONG ToMBs OF ,.M0NARCRs
Shaft Will Be Erected on Scottish
Coast to the Memory Of United
States Soldiers.

Nature has built on several OF Scot
lands western islands great stone
shafts that are viewed with wonder
and admiration; man has erected on
others many columns and monuments
that are renowned in art and history.
To mention notable examples, the
natural may be seen in the gbasaltic
pillars of Skye and Staffa, the artistic
in the memorials to Scottish, Irish and
Norwegian kings in the burying
ground of St. Columba's isle, Iona.
There will shortly appear amid this
concourse of records monument al
together novel, new-world- monument,
by which America will signalize the
memory of her young soldiers Of free
dom whom Germany's submarine dew
iltry drowned in the adjacent waters.
On this knoll lofty monolith of inn
perishable granite will be raised in
honor of the brave who went to death
undismayed and self-controlled.
Islay was the chief seat Of those
fighting chieftains, the lords Of the
isles, who began in the twelfth century
their incessant warfare with the
Norsemen, and the title Of the island
princes has descended to the Prince of
Wales. Quiescent past and stirring
present seem to meet on this pic
turesque island. If the shades of the
old-world kings ever visit the royal
tombs at Iona, they need look south
hut 80 miles to see a towering sign of
si:e making Of new-world history.

Man Dumb From War. Now Talks.

Parents of Walter Jones, a soldier
Of Glen Cove, L. l., who has Just re-
turned from France, answering tele-
phone call from New York, heard the
voice Of their son, whom they sup
posed was dumb as the result of shell
shock. In the trenches in France a
shell exploded within few feet OF
Jones and he became unconscious.
Several Of his comrades were killed
by the explosion. When Jones re-
gained consciousness he was deaf and
dumb. He was sent back to America
for treatment and on the ocean trip
homeward the vessel was attacked by
a submarine. The excitement of this
shock is said to have restored both
his speech and hearing.

In this war the weather man." the

No one laughs at him now. His in

officer who has to know the tempera-

tent, the strength of the wind at diff
ferent levels, and the like, in order
that he may aim his gun. When the
temperature is lowering about the
freezing point, the staff wish to know

sufficiently to permit the movement of

the air squadrons must know the con-

the information may be judged from
the fact that we were asked repeatedly

CUPID STILL RULES
Cynics Who DeCry Power of St.
Valentine Are Unable to
Prove Their Case.
CYNIC once remarked that tn

CYNIC once remarked that the
~ two most irritating days on
~ the calendar were those con
= n secrated to Saints SWithin
and Valentine, because, said he, the
first often brought with it stretch of
rain and the second a wretch of
strain; for, of all strains in the world,
he argued, the worst was that imposed
by having to read a silly lot of foot
less and useless valentines.
The cynic probably does not stand
alone in his opinion of Saint Valen-
tines day. There are thousands of
men like him who believe that the day
has degenerated; that, where once Gu
pid conquered hearts through loving
missives sent on February IA, he now
merely yawns and fails to heed.
But does he? Have the old valen-
tines, as love messages, really lost
their power? Or have new kinds of
valentines succeeded the fiimsy lace
kind of other years2 And are they at
all effective?
The printed chronicles of the last
several years reveal numerous cases
that go to disprove the statement of
the cynic and his followers.
On Saint Valentines day, 1908, Ar
thur Trumbull of Oswego, N. Y, sent
| young woman named Alice Cayvan,
whom he had been counting with in
different success for several years, a
large heart fashioned out of crimson
! cardboard. Through the heart he had
/ stuck a papier mache arrow. On II
he had written the single interrogatory
word "Hopeless?" The next day the
| heart was returned to him by mail
but the arrow had been removed and
the hole in the center had been patched
up with a bit of white paper on which
Miss Cayvan had written a clearly
legible Eyes" They were married soon
after.
Not less productive of result was the
effort of Albert Hildrummel of Topeka
Kan, who, according to an article
printed in Western newspapers, sem
the young woman he loved, Glars
Sedgwick, a blank marriage certificate
on last Valentines day with these
verses on the back:
This is my idea of valentine,
Practical, indeed, but true.
If you'll write your name in 1t,
It will be valentine for two.
1t is interesting to note that the re
cipient did as directed.
An odd valentine was that sent tw'
years ago by Francis Everlin of Chi
cago to Sarah Collins of Toledo, q
! Everlin had asked the latter to MARI!
him on numerous occasions; but tn
young woman had always asked him t
refrain from regarding her otherwis
than "a sister," Everlin had no sue
intention, however, and, hiding hi
time till Valentines day, sent her
! valentine made up to resemble a ba
lot such as is used in municipal eleC
tions. At the top Of the ballot was

pen and ink picture of house, and
beneath appeared Everlin's name OPP
posite all the offices to be voted for,
viz, rentpayer, bundle carrier, loving
husband, and so on. A slip was APP
pended asking the voter to vote the
straight ticket. Whether it was the
humor of it or something else is I'M
known; but the fact remains that Miss
Collins put the matrimonial < under
the house.
The ''missing-line" puzzle craze
gave Herbert Randall o. San Fran
cisco his valentine cue m 1907. To
his sweetheart, Vera Salison of the
same city, he sent this incomplete
stanza, asking her to fill out the last
line. The verse ran:
''It might have been" are saddest words
In world of woe and love and strife;
| For thee, these are the gladdest words:
The stanza was returned the follow
ing day with this line: Eyes, dear, i
now will be your wife,"
One of the most peculiar valentines
on record was the one sent year ago
by Allen Straw of Pittsburgh to Louise
Rovayer of Erie. 1t was nothing more
or less than large roll of white silk,
bearing the words: "This is for a
wedding dress. Please valentine me
with yes" The silken valentine
was effective.
On Valentines day three years ago
two men sent their sweethearts rail
road timetables to Niagara Falls, and
another man sent his lady love trunk
tied with white ribbons and strewn
inside with rice.
John Thomas Ray of Omaha won q
wife through valentine sent to q

Rays valentine took the form of O
big red apple, to the stem of which he
had attached a card reading: Love

yours. Love me not, and all that yor
will have will be this apple. 1t is bis
and red and pretty, but it will no
last any more than will the semihappi
ness you believe you are enjoying
while single"
The popular jigsaw puzzles were
used as valentines by several wooer'
last year. One man, named Shaw, o.
Atlanta, sent one to his sweethear
in the same city and with it the lines
"Ive puzzled my brain to guess you

The most wonderful feat on record
has recently been accomplished by
William Frederick, a New York sales
man.
He has learned the entire Bible off

in it from Genesis to Revelations and

taken him Is years.
A similar task was once undertaken
