cling to the pretty custom and society has

It is for society, however, that the new
ideas are originated, for the vist majority
has the gold lace Impression too thoroughly
Imbued to depart In this generation. De

valentine, men say that the general public
likes the moat excruciatingly elaborate
thing. In the offerings, and the thicker
and the more wonderful the colors the
better the patron is pleased. They say
the simple, refined valentine, won't last
more than a season or two.
Flowerj and new books continue-to In
crease In favor as offerings On February
14. year by year, but the trade In the
paper things, which are made nearly alto
gether In Germany and put together In New

minution. More care is expended on mak
ing appropriate things for children than
ever before.
Publishers are encouraging the book of
ferings. The finer editions of any work
which has sentiment as It. strong point
will do. . Ribbons, engrossed with ap
propriate mottoes, are used, tying In a kofe
on top of the volume.
The manufacturers appear to have over
looked the burnt wood and burnt leather
fads In working out their plots. But In
many homes in Omaha valentine, are
being prepared with the aid of pyrography
outfits. It Is so easy and simple to make
valentines this way that hundreds of bright
girls have taken It up. and the home pro

effects are pretty and have the charm of
novelty. ' '

CITIZEN TRAIN'S GIRL CHUM
Abbj P.ckarinr Front, Who Attended the
Orphan Baby.
LIFE OF AN OMAHA WOMAN JUST DEAD
She Received George Francis. TraJa
Whea He Was bat Foar Year.
Old oa Consignment from
Mew Orleans.
Mrs. Abble B. Front, who died early last
week at her Chicago .treat home, was not
only an interesting personality httrself, but
was also rendered more so by her intimate
connection with George Francis Train,
whose anunt and teacher she was. Tha
following letter, pinned to his little pina
fore, brought the talented eccentrlo into
the life of Mrs. Frost:
Miss Abble Pickering (her maiden name):
This Is my little son, Leorge Francis Train,
4 years old c-unsiKned on board the ship
Henry to John Clarke, jr.. Dock square,
Boston, to be sent to his Urandmothcr
Pickering at Walthum, ten inllts from Bos
ton. Take good care of the little fellow,
as he is the only one left of eleven of us.
Including servants, and he Is no common
child. 1 will come on a soon aa I can ar
rattle my business.
This letter was printed In Train's book,
"My Life In Many States and Foreign
Lands," and came to Mrs. Frost when she
was only It year. old. . Rev. C. W. Bavlc&e,
Mrs. Frost's pastor, haa the original. The
little orphan became her charge and he
owed her everything. The two Train being
only 12 years tha junior were much at
tached to each other. Shortly before his
death Mrs. Frost wrote to him that 'she
wanted to met him in heaven. Only ten
days Intervened between his death and her
own demise. She had nut been Informed
of his end.
The body of Mrs. Frost was Interred at
Waltham, Mass., where is the old home
in which fhe was born, to which the baby
Train waa sent and In which she was mar
ried. The home of Mrs. Frost's father,
Rev. George Pickering, was a familiar
place to the noted divines of that period
In New England. Her grandfather, Abra
ham Bemls, born in Talbert county, Mary
land, In 1769, was a great preacher. He en
tered the conference of hi. native state In
1790 and was one of 'the noted preacher,
sent into New England. His daughter,
Mary Bemls, became the wife of Rev.
George Pickering, and their daughter,
Abbie Pickering, was born December 13,
1812. and in turn married a minister. Rev.
George W. Frost, and cam. with him to

BEST' WAY TO LIGHT TRAINS
Most Efficient System Pointed Oat fey
Milwaukee, Pioneer Eleetrle
Light User.
Railroads and technical Institutes ara ju.t
now devoting much time and attention to
the 'perfection of the scheme of train light
ing by electricity. In this connection it is
of intcrect to note the response of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road, the
pioneer in this method of illuminating
trains, makes to an Inquiry by the Massa
chusetts ItiMtMuto of Technology, It Is
found from this response that the lighting
of trains by electricity on the Milwaukee
was begun over sixteen years ago, and
during that time the managers have' ex
perimented with many different systems.
They have found, however, that the most
successful and without doubt the most re
liable and efficient system for solid train.
Is that in which a dynamo 1. operated by
a small engine located In the baggage car
and taking steam from the locomotlva
Each car of the train Is equipped with an
auxiliary storage battery. By this means
It is made possible for the lighting to con
tinue unlnterupted when locomotive, are
changed at terminals.
The Milwaukee ha nine such trains tn
service every night, each train consisting
of an average of ten cars of all Mnd. Chief
Electrician C. R. Oilman states that the
failures from all causes have averaged
about 6 per cent of the hours of lighting
and that 4 per cent of this was due to the
failure of locomotives In sever, winter
weather.
Altogether the Milwaukee has 2S3 cars
equipped for this method of lighting. There
are 1W coaches, 60 sleepers '13 mall cars. 12
dining, 19 baggage, 18 parlor and 5 buffet
cars. In addition to this number the com
pany has eight coaches and nine sleepers
which are lighted entirely by storage bat
teries. The electrical department Is now
experimenting with the axle lighting de
vices, with which H ha. equipped three
cars with a. many systems. This makes a
total of over too, which the largest num
ber of electrlo lighted cars In service on
any one railroad tn the country.

WAS POET BURNS A CHRISTIAN?
More Evldeoce oa the Point I. Ad
duced from the Writing,
of Robert.
OMAHA, Feb. 4,-To the Editor of The
Beet , In last Sunday. Issue of Th. Bea
William Brown of Big Springs, Neb.,
quotes several passages from, the poem, of
Hpbert Burns, with a view of proving that
he was a Christian. I fall to ace that any
of the passage, quoted by Mr. Brown prove
that Burns waa a believer In the Christian
religion. The passages quoted show that
he believed In the existence of a supreme
power or being, but such a belief does not
constitute a Christian. Every well In
formed person know, that belief tn the
existence of a supreme being waa common
to the world thousands of year, before
Christianity was born. The Jews, for ex
ample, believe In the existence of a ,su
preme being, but they do not claim to be
Christians. Christianity claims to have
been founded by1 the second person of the
Godhead, and is therefore of divine origin;
consequently It teaches certain forma of
belief and doc.trtr.es peculiar to Itself, which
form no part of the belief or doctrine, of
other religious organisations, such, for In
stance, as the doctrine of the trinity, the
Immaculate conception and the atonement.
Take from orthodox Christianity those pe
culiar doctrine, and Ita claim, to divinity
melt like a snowball In our hands. In
order to prove that Robert Burns waa a
Christian it. will be necessary to .how that
he accepted the doctrine, enumerated above
and treated with reverence and respect the
form, and ceremonle. of the Presbyterian
church, which waa the prevailing religion
In th. neighborhood where he waa bom and
raised, and which received moat of his at
tention and criticism. The partaking of
the sacrament, or the Lord', supper, a. it
is called, is deemed the most sacred ordi
nance of the church, yet Burns in a poem
of considerable length treats tha matter as
a sort of comical farce and sarcastically
describes the whole proceedings as the
"Holy Fair" (see poem of that name).
When Rev. Dr. McGlil and Rev. William
Dalrymple, two ministers of the town of
Ayr, were accused of heresy for preach
Ing against the doctrine of original stn and
the trinity," Burns, with an admixture of
mirth and sarcasm, says:
Dalrymple mild. Dalrymple mild.
ThoiiKh your heart's like a child.
And your life like the new driven enaw.
Yet that wtnna save ye.
On Id 6atan must have ye.
For preaching that three's on. and twa.
Again he says:
Ye'll get the heat o' moral work.
'Mang black Onntoos and Pagan Turks,
Or hunter, wild on Ponotoxi
Wha never heard of orthodoxy. .
Gavin (Hamilton wa. strongly suspected
of heresy. H. wa. a particular friend of
Bursa, who after hla death composed the
Sticks; Stick to it!
following epitaph for hi. tombstone:
7'he poor man weeps, here Gavin sleeps.
Whom canting wretches blamed;
But with such as he, where'er he be.
May I be saved or dem'd.
Again: '
Holy Will, holy Will, there was wit In your
skull
When ye pilfered th. alms of the poor.
But the timmer 1. .cant when yer taen for
a saint,
t Wha should awing in a rape for an 'oor.
In order to avoid lengthy quotation. I
beg to call tha reader's attention to tha
following named poem, -which will throw
considerable light on the disputed question
of Burn.' religion: "The Twa Herds,1
"The Kirk's Alarm," "The Calf," 'The
Holy Fair," "Address to the Unco Quid, or
tha Rigid Rlghteou.." R. a C.
