First Loves



sarhere is no love like the first
Lowell" sighed the schoolteacher on
her way to the garbage can with a
lot of old valentines.
mo, there couldn't very well be-"
returned Whackum, thoughtfully.
Love is the same over and over again
with each new girl, so no love can be
exactly like the first one, altho there
are at times very good encores.
''Yes,' said Gigson, sentimentally.
ut is duplicate stuff the second and
third and on to the thirty-third love.
We can never afterward have the
same enthusiasm we had the first
time we were in love-"
1T is a good thing we can't!"
growled Whackum. Il remember my
second love very well. She was 16
and was Is. met her on the street,
and she rolled her eyes and said: I
haven't seen you for two whole daysl
when my FIRST love said that it had
sounded great But when the second
one said it I was not thrilled"
'eWhat response did you maker"
asked the schoolteacher, breathlessly.
Il said: Cut out all that. I've
heard it before"
Men are very cruel to their second
loves" observed the schoolteacher.
YES, and worse to the third and
fourth loves agreed Whackum. "a
man treats his first love as if nothing
on earth was too good for her. If
she hints that she likes candy he
thinks her naive. If the second girl
hints that she likes candy he thinks
she is a regular CRATER.
'sThe first girl gets all kinds of
flowers, candy, carriage rides, thea
tiers, and such things, and then when
she is gone the young man is very
bitter and the next girl gets less.
Along about the fourth or fifth sweet
heart the fellow is SO mean that he
win hardly give her SO much as a
stick of chewing gum"
1T is because the delusion is all
gone after the first love-" suggested
the schooIteacher.
True" agreed Gigson. 1.-THE delu-
sion is more and more rubbed off by
each succeeding sweetheart, until
there is scarcely any at all when you
arrive at the chewing gum stage.
You have heard it all before, and
it is the same all the time. What's
the user
old bachelors always talk like
that put in the 1andlady. 'It is a
sign that more than one girl turned
them down"
Well, married men wouldn't dare
talk that way" responded Whackum.
Their wives wouldn't stand for it. Au
the married men are married to their
Arst loves"
Then Whackum winked wickedly.

saint.

How our simple valentine customs
ever came to be connected with SO
sober and revered a person as st.
Valentine has ever been mystery.
There are many theories as to how
this came about, but the most prob
able one Is that the custom descends
from the ancient Romans and can be
traced to their festivals of the 'Lup-
ercalia, which came on the 18th of
February. AT this celebration names
OF young women were drawn by young
men.
The fathers of the church put their
veto on these personal drawings, and
In place OF the young women's names
substituted the names of the saints,
each person thus choosing a patron
saint for the coming year. This
change (by chance) was made on st.
Valentines day, the anniversary of
the martyrdom of Valentine, an old
time saint.

oLEOMARGARTNE

There has always been q ques-
ton in some minds about the
digestive and nutritive qualities
of oleomargarine. Oleomargar-
inc is made from refined cleo oil,
which is prepared from the fat
of beef cattle. To the oleo oil
a small quantity of natural lard
is added. These fats are thea
churned with either milk, cream
or both, and usually small
amount of butter is added. It
is sailed after the churning and
is then made ready for the mar
ket in the same manner as but
ter. Under the federal laws It
can only be manufactured under
the supervision of the internal
revenue department, insuring
the best materials and sanitary
conditions.
Experiments to show the re-
lative digestive and food values
of butter and oleomargarine
showed that there was little if
any difference in their digestibil-
ity and that good oleomargar-
inc was much to be preferred to
a poor butter from a nutritive
standpoint.

a Beauty.

A clerk in dry-goods stoDe was
showing shopper some parasols.
The man had good command of
language and knew how to speak Of
the good qualities and show the best
points Of goods. As he picked up a
parasol from the lot on the counter
and opened it, he struck an attitude
Of admiration and. holding it up to
the Light, said:
Now, madam, isn't it lovely? Look
at the silk; particularly observe the
quality, the finish, the general effect.
Feel it; pass your hand over it. No
nonsense about that parasol, is
there?" he said. as he handed it to
the lady. Isn't it a. beauty? Only So"
Yes said the lady; that's my old
one. just laid it down there"

Poker KlIls a Whale.

The crew of the oil steamer Cali
fornia were happy on reaching port
because they had captured whale
and found ambergris worth 81 900.
A school of playful whales followed
the vessel up the coast, and having
nothing else to do the crew tried to
capture one bull in the wake Of the
ship There was no harpoon aboard,
SO they fashioned one out Of stol.
er's poker that resenbled a crowba<.
After many attempts they landed a
whale by happening from the stern.
When the carcass was hauled aboard
the sight Of ambergris almost caused
a fight as to division Of the spoils.
