In the school she taught IN Butte
there was a little motherless boy
who lived with his aunt, and the

stories after school. and sometimes
they went for a walk together-the

Amerlea's Noted Valentine.
Americas most noted valentine was
General Winfield Scott Hancock, born
February IA. 1924. The witchinR in
fiuence Of the saints festival hover
ing about him manifested itself in the
elimination Of his romance. In her
"Reminiscences" written in old age,
Mrs. Hancock (who was Miss Almira
RusselD tells Of her strange wedding
and proves that. after all. the Ameri-
can girl has determination to rise
above superstitions.
To start with, her wedding day was
one Of the stormiest Of the winter. 1t
hailed violently, thundered and blew
perfect gale. During the ceremony.
which was held at her fathers home
In st. Louis, the lights went out three
times and repeated the performance
at the wedding reception. The guests
were filed with terror for the young
bride who was beginning life under
such suggestively evil omens. And by
way Of enhancing the evil, influences
that appeared to be abroad the crowd
outside the house got the word that
the bride was wearing a spun glass
dress. and their curiosity reached the
point Of mob violence before the police
could beat them back to make room
for the passage Of guests.
But the bride laughed in the face
OF these witches pranks and lived to
share the honors that her husbands
career brought him.
