A Valentine to Ah, little boy Cupid, 1 know you well; ltut you re not as the poets say; You have no arrows, that 1 have seen, Though you captured my heart, one day. You wear more clothes than the pic tured I^>ve, And to call you blind were a sin; But 1 know you are Cupid, for no one else Such a number of hearts could win. For they all succumb to your winning wiles, The lassies, the maids, and the dames; Though Instead of “Cupid,” they call you "Pet." And “Honey,” and all such names. So I send you a valentine, Boy, today, To say you may keep my heart, For It must be yours forever and aye. Though I felt not the feathered dart. IDA’S VALENTINES. By M. Louise Foed. "Tomorrow’s Valentine's Day, mam ma, and oh, yon ought to see the big box teacher’s got on her desk for us to put our valentines In! Can I make some more tonight? I know how to make lovely ones!” and an eager little face looked up Into Mrs. Lane’s. Mamma stooped down and planted a kiss on the rosy cheek, saying: “Yes, Indeed, dear, as many as you please. But to whom are you going to send them all? iBn't you list about full? Have you remembered Kather ine and Annie as well as the others?” “Yes, mamma, and I'm going to make one for Alec Boles; he lsu't very bright, you know, and the boys make fun of him. I thought he'd like one. I don't believe he'll have any; and Kitty Welch has to stay at home now, 'cause her brother's got the measles, and so I thought I'd send her one, too.” replied Ida earnestly. “I am very glad you thought of them,” said her msmiua, ‘‘aud here I MAKINU IIKH VAI.KNTINKM •r* »un» Iliil* yktim I found iud*y. you way iu« tb»ia If you lib*." •*Oo, (Ml tltUl UliM J«Ml l*«*tt" *aeUla»*d Id* In bi*»i «in*.

Time after time Ida's name was called, until her desk was quite cov ered with big valentines and little ones, home made and store bought, some rather the worse for handling, and some fresh and clean In their white envelopes. “Seventeen!” she counted In sur prise, when the last one was distri buted, and the proud and happy little maiden looked around to see who had fared any better. “How many did you get?” "And you?" "Oh, Isn’t that a lovely one!” "I got most as many as you,” were the words heard on all sides, and the excitement had scarcely begun to sub side when Miss Walker struck the bell once more, and every valentine was put away till recess time. Only one little girl there was who had not a single valentine; she was a new scholar, a thin, sad-looklng child, with big brown eyes. Her dress was old and faded, and the first day she came to school, one little girl had whispered to another: "Josie Dean’s father drinks, I guess, ’cause 1 saw her with him last week, and he couldn’t walk straight.” That was. Indeed, the sad secret of Josie's home, and now, when all the others were happy with their valen tines, she was looking out of the win* dow, winking hard to keep back the tears. Not one valentine, did I say? Oh, yes, there was one of those dreadful ones children sometimes call "comic," with a coarse picture of a drunken man, with a bottle In his hand upon It. Home thoughtless boy had put that in the box for Josle Dean, and in delight she had responded to her name. But when she saw the cruel joke her little (ace grew pale and frightened, und the hid the dreadful thing in her pocket before any oue could see It. At recess time Ida was here and there, showing her treasures and ad miring others, and suddenly came up on Josle Dean, who was trying very bravely not to be disappointed, but wiped away a tear <ts Ida came to the window where she was staudlug. lu a minute Ida had guessed (he trouble, though she knew nothing sbout the secret hidden depth* of the | faded pocket. Sh«* saw that Josle's ' hands were empty. "Oh. Josle," she said softly, "didn't I <wi get any? I'm mi sorry Here I've I got lots uf them, tuure thnu I need, aud 1 want you to pick out the vary prettiest one," and ska drew her away into the dressing room, and spread her valentine* out. ‘ There now you Ink* just the on* > ii Want Inoel " lost* * fare brightened, but she was too si » to aoept th* kind offer, uuOl Id* ln»t»t»d upon It, "Yen. you must; you see you ve been her* such n little whll* that the girts don't know you muck.

It would be hard to tell which of the two was the happier, hut Ida said to her mother that night, as she wai tucked into her little bed: “The very best part of the day, mamma, was when I gave Jotse that valentine. It made such a happy place In my heart that it hasn't gone away yet.” “No, and it will not, for it is what we do for others that makes us happy. What is the verse about that, dearie, can you tell?" Ida looked thoughtfully a moment, and then said, "Oh, yes, 'It Is more PICK OUT THE PRETTIEST ONE. blessed to give Ilian to receive,’ and it is, sure enough, isn't it mamma?”— Our Sunday Afternoon.

An Kconoiulrul Hall. Chief Engineer W. T. Manning of the Haltlmore and Ohio Railroad has invented a new ruil that experts say has many points of Interest to rail road owners, the principal one being Its economical feature. It Is well known that rails weat rapidly on curves and where these are short and traffic heavy, the cost of renewal Is very large. Manning has evolved a section, which, he asserts, will reduce the cost 37 per cent per ton per year. He adds materially to the life of the rail by placing additional metal in the head and on the side upon which the wear comes. The new rail will be given a thorough test on the Haltl more and Ohio Railroad, the receivers having ordered 1,000 tons from the Carnegie Steel Co. The Pittsburg & Western has also ordered 500 tons. ‘ Daniel Webster once got a check for $6,000 that he was in nowise looking for,” remarked a Washington old timer the other day. "Webster was in the United States senate at the time and had delivered his masterly speech on the compromise measure, In which he sought to reconcile the differences between the sections. Its broad pat riotism appealed to Mr. W. W. Cor coran so strongly that he sent the senator the sum mentioned the very next day in a letter expressive of his admiration for the man and tne speech. Years afterward I saw the original of the reply sent by Mr. Webster ac knowledging the receipt of Mr. Cor coran's letter." Charles A.

A CANADA FARM. (That a Former Resident of IdahoHays Regarding Western Canada. Mr. T. A. Tolmun, of I.acombe, Al j berta, N. W. T„ a former resident of | t’asela County, Idaho, who moved to I Western Canada in July, 1894, writes | as follows: ’T brought here thirty-four head of cattle, fifteen horses, two wagons, two sets of harness and one hundred and fifty dollars in cash. I homesteaded the southeast quarter of Section 28, Township 40, Hangs 26, west of the 4lh , Meridian, also purchased a quarter section of Canadian Pacific Hallway land. I have been farming more or less all my life, and I am convinced that you can raise crops 40 per cent cheaper here than where I came from. My capital at present, counting every thing. is about five thousand dollars. The yield of my grain all round in 1897 was 60 bushels per acre. This year (1898) yield of wheat per acre, 37V4 bushels, oats. 60 bushels, barley, 36, and potatoes, 400 per acre. I consider that this is a much better country for a man than j where I came from, provided he is in dustrious. You got a frpe homestead here, and Canadian Pacific Railway lands are cheap and the terms easy. 1 have now made my seventh payment on the land purchased by me, and am much pleased with my purchase, as the land has already much more than paid for itself. School law here is decidedly ahead of where I came from, and there are schools wherever there are set tlers.” ___ Why Isn’t there money In any busi ness you have your coin invested in?
