OUPIll'S FESTIVAL.
The Day Observed the World Over as Appropriate for Popping and Getting .fopped
St. "Vdentine Day is here and those of us who didn't get one are gay or sad according as we received "love tokens" or "comic roasts" in times past. All of us have received them in our day and most of us know how to appreciate them. The male sex, above the age of ten, are usually favored with "oomice" and have good sense enough as a usual thing to ascribe them to the practical joking of some friend. Ladies, however, who are so favored usually regard it as the work of some spiteful neighbor. Hence it is that the police dockets are usually full the day after St. Valentines with she combatants who have been set tling tho scores and getting even for the iDsults contained in the epistles received. Any one entering the stores yesterday where valentines were on sale might have seen withered old crones and beldams and spiteful looking females of all ages rummaging through the stook of "comics" in search of one that would illustrate some hated neighbor's real or fancied shortcoming. But the "comics" are not tho only valentines sent and received. Many of the handsomest valentines appear in the shape of handkerchief holders, glove cases or other useful articles which make pretty ornaments tor a bureau or dresser. Most of these are of satin and are made to fold over like a portfolio. Some of the finest are hand painted and are very pretty presents. The customary verses do not appear on these valentines, the pretty little pictures of Master Cupid and his arrows amply serving the purpose. Some of the haudkerchief holders, however, are made in the shape of a heart, which, of course, means a great deal, and renders rhyme and picture unnecessary.
The old time card valentines, from the little five-center with its gaudy white trimmings to the beautiful ones in satin cases for 85, are to be found as usual. The little poems, which are sure to be hidden under a spray of leaves or a bunch of flowers on the inside of the valentines are often very clever. Here is a little rhyme that is to be found in a pretty heart-shaped blue satin remembrance In my heart., cluirming creature, you've long held full sway, llut 1 thought 1 n'ould wall uut.il Valentine's day, To tell you my love and mn*r yoa my lay,
Lovely maid.
Under a medley of cupid's darts and four leaf clovers we find the following touching effusion: 1 kuow pretty maiden,
Who Is very deurtome: She, ft'RIi charms and virtues laden Is lis swciil HS she CIIN be. 1 would love to pop the question
To tills maHlen so divine. And this is my sug-Koatliiii: That sho be my valentine. For the young man if a mathematical turn of mind the following rhyme under a prettily embossed cottage bowered with roses is found:
Pretty mi id, 1 love thee More than twenty-live times threeMore than iiiuoty-nine times nine Will you be my valentine? Here is one for a young man of evidently a fickle temperament:
Hero's my lovo, take It 1 pray. Before thewindsof February Have blown It all away. In oluen times love takens were the only kinds sfint. To-day the "comic' prevails and two of them are sent for every ono sent for lovo or friendship. In the first place they are cheap and in the second place there are more people out for fun and spite than for love and friendship. It's tough on the race, but it's mighty true. tho p'Ctures which adorn the comics are the broadeBl kind of caricatures and are prettj tough on the persons who receive thom, but the rhymeB are worse. The writer of thom hits the nail on tho head occasionally, however. This fact cannot be denied when one reads the following, under the title of "The Hotel Dude:"
Tiio following is of the stripo proba-
bly received by half the singers in Orawfordsville: Vou think you area vocalist.
You think that you can sing: You thluk your voice is just too sweet For almost anything. But gracious how your heart, would sink If you but knew what others thluk. Here is a little rhyme intended for a lady fond of drink, and, by the way, thib very valentine led to- a beautiful fight between two estimable ladies in the north end last year and their subsequent fining in the police court:
Follow your noso you'll llnd him In, Your ancient friend. Old Holland Gin And I've been told, that often before, You've met him slyly behind the door. There, down your throat, ho swiftly goes, And rises again to paint your nose
1:
Of all beats, with which earth Is curscd, A tippling woman Is far tho worstl Perhaps, if*halt the school teachers would confess they would acknowledge having received from sulky' pupils the following verse under the glaring picture of a fierce looking old hag armed with a handful of switches:
You teuch each little elf More than }ou know yourself:* And talk like a pettycout eollogo
You like to smack tho boys, AH1 In tlia midst of uoice You preside at tho *mt of knowledge. The following burst of sentiment appears under the picture of a miserable looking old chap crouched in the corner of a pew and labeled "A Stingy Old Dencon:"
A model old saint aro you, As you sit so prim In your pew! A button you cast
In the box when it passed. And then rolled your eyes, you old screw. "A Snarling Scratch-Gat," is the label under the picture of a vicious looking young woman adorned with eye glasses and a red dress, extremely docolette. The rhyme under it goes as follows:
You've tried your best to get. a boau. A fact lliat all the neighbors know,— And yet you're "on the fence" 'tis true, Tito place lor such a eat as you. Hats you may catch, 'tis Nature's plan, Hut you will never catch a man, For men of sense will surely pause. And fly In terror from your claws. "A Straight Tip" is offered to some one whose hand is pictured as reaching for a fat pile of green backs uj on which appears the words "Yoar Employer'6 Money." The
These are but samples ot the many scoreB that are prepared to rouse the ire of men and women of all classes and conditions, from the minister to the tin horn gambler and from the society lady to "the beribboned chippy." Many of our readers have perhaps never given these "comics" more than a passing glance, and have never studied them in the least. But there is a study in them. They are but on exponent of the envy, the epitefulness, the evil report and gossip which works so much wrong and suffering in the world. It shows aside of life which we all see more or less and which all should seek to shun. The comic valentine displays the worst side of human nature in a burlesque manner, but, nevertheless, the burleBqne contains too much truth to be pleasant or even laughable.
Peoples' Katural Gas Company. The Peoples' Natural Gas Company held a meeting yesterday afternoon and elected the following officers for the enSHing year:

Couldn't Aetee.
The committee from the fair association and the township trustees met yesterday to make arrangements for children's day at the fair, fte committees couldn't agree, however. The trustees wanted $100 to offer in prizes but the fair committee would agree to but $75. At present the matter is in statu qua and the result may be the abolition of children's day altogether.

Only members of the family were present. After the ceremony !Mr. and Mrs. Lee repaired at once to their newly furnished home on west Main street where they begin housekeeping at once.

Mr. Dilkes Seems to Enow or It, The natural gas authorities here deny Lhat a combine of several gas companies by being purchased by a trust, is even contemplated. The Lebanon Reporter, however, contains the following item anent the subjeot whioh is of interest:
Mr. J.H. Dilkes, representing the combine, was in Lebanon yesterday examining the plants of the Light, Heat and Power Company and the American artificial gas plant. Dr. Dilks says that the examination of both plants proved very satisfactory and will so report it to the proposed purchasers. It is not known when the deal will be consummated, but it will probably be in a short time.
A Screen Ordinance Won't Work There. The clerks of the city, numbering about one hundred, met yesterday morning and attended the M. E. church, where the pastor, Rev. Switzer, preached an eloquent sermon for their benefit He endorsed the 6rganization and offered several valuable suggestions, among them that the saloons be compelled to lower their blinds and remove the screens from 11 p. tri. until 5 a.m. and also on Sundays. This has been tried in other cities and proved to be quite a success, the after hour sprees and Sunday drinkers being ruled out.— Brazil Times.
