The Lenten encyclical of the Rt. Rev. Francis Silas Chatard, bishop of
Indianapolis, which will be read in the St. Mary's and ' St. Andrew's
churches today for the regulation of j
the Lenten fast, Is from, the Indult of the Holy See of August S, 1887, and prescribes in . detail what is to
be partaken of during the quaran
tine.
"All the faithful over twenty-one
years and under sixty year3 of age
are, unless legitimately dispensed,
bound to observe the fast of Lent,"
said the encyclical. "They are not to take but one full meal a day. Sun
days excepted, which meal should be
about noon. Both fish and flesh are
not to be used at the same time, even
by way of sauce or condiment. Sun
days Included. A collation Is allowed in the evening. No general rule as to
the quantity of food permitted at this
time can be made, but the practice
of the most regular Christians is nev
er ta let it exceed the fourth part of
an ordinary meal.
The use of butter, eggs, cheese and
milk in the evening collation, where this is the custom, is tolerated by the
church on account of the existence
of such custom. For the same reason
It is lawful to take with, a cracker,
in tne morning, a. cup of tea. coffee
or thin chocolate, with a little milk. The use of lard instead of butter la

Enjoyed Picnic Supper. A large number of the members of
the First Baptist church gathered in the Sunday school room on Friday evening for a picnic supper. The tables were laden with good things and a very pleasant social time was spent. After supper the orchestra played a number of selections, while the younger people amused themselves, with various games. One pleasant feature of the evening was the presentation to Miss Kate Morgan of a birthday present as a token of the love and esteem in which she is held. !Miss Morgan has been clerk of the church for a number of years and Is also superintendent of the Primary department and the cradelroll. All went home feeling that it was good to have been there.

A rumor has had it for the past sev
eral weeks that John Emery, the night
ticket agent at the Pennsylvania sta
tion, will noon take unto himself a wife. In fact the word has spread broadcas over Richmond and Indianapolis divisions and he for the past
few days has been the recipient of many congratulatory telegrams,, also many from traveling men who wish to
furnish his future home. The day men were unawares of John's intended
movements until yesterday morning, when they found a telegram upon the
desk which had been sent to Emery
by a traveling man, congratulating
him niton his future marriage, and at the same time slightly recommended a favorite brand of face powder which he was representing. 'When Emery made his appearance at the station last night, the haw, haws, which greeted him would have put "Maud to shame. Emery just smiled and looked wise.

: Samantha awoke with a starL What time was it? What could be the matter? She could not remember of a time during the fifteen years she had been living alone that she had not been awakened by the cock's first screamed warning of early dawn. She glanced toward the window but could not see the earth, as the snow, which had been falling more or loss steadily for three days, had drifted almost up to the sash of her little downstairs bedroom window. Above, she could see the trees, their branches drooping downward with the dazzling whit burden. She. raised upon her elbow.
and lay thinking and gazing a long time.. Her brow was ' elosely knit
with perplexity; the thought had for the first time dawned upon her that she was young no longer. On her
face was pictured Ionliness, regret
and sadness, and it truly mirrored her
mind. She was growing old, yes she was almost fifty-four why today was the fourteenth of February! She was fifty-four today! Why had fate decreed that she should be Saint Valentine's child? His was a day of love and joy. She was loveless and loverless, and had nothing to be particularly joyful about. Did she deserve this lot? What was life without love
anyway? A continuous repitition of
hard -work and sadness, with nothing
to break the monotony, but oh! oh dear! the egg-man would be around early and she had not got the eggs counted and ready yet! She sprang up and dressed hurrldly. Before many minutes there was a roaring fire in the great kitchen stove and she was busily packing the eggs in the boxes. She endeavored, but without result, to change the current of her thoughts. The phrase, St. Valentine's child, St. - Valentine's child' rang mockingly ln2 her, ears. There would be no box of flowers or any token of love left at her door this day addressed, "To My Valentine.' No, no one loved her. Tears filled her eyes for an Instant but she brushed them away "with the corner of her apron and murmured, "Come, come don't be foolish!" and before she knew what she had done she had penciled upon an egg, "S. J. Saint Valentine's forgotten child, and had placed It In the box with the other eggs as though nothing had interrupted. It was not until the jocund little egg-man had taken the boxes way that she began to realize what she had done. How could she have done it? What had possessed her? Well it was too late to mend now, so she tried to console herself by thinking it would not be noticed, but secretely hoping that It might fall into "his" hands, and that "his" eyes might be arrested by it. She was a stanch
believer in the theory that for every person there 13 a mate born. She was busy with her work all day, and although, when she retired she was far from happy, the dark clouds of melancholy had been parted a tiny bit allowing a slender ray of hope to shine through; and she fell into se
rene slumber. Always during the cold months, and most particularly in February there is a scarcity of eggs. The aforesaid peddler found considerable trouble In meeting the demands of the grocers. He had been delighted when he had seen Samantha's twenty dosen. Her house was the last to visit, so after settling with her he had hurried back to town to supply the dealers. He nad diatributed all with the exception of one box, which he had decided to keep, and was going home when a tall; gaunt man came to the door of a small grocery and called in
a high voice, "Hi there! got any eggs tonight?" ' "Just got .one box of four dozen left, "jovially returned the fat little peddler. "How much?" "Thirty-five . cents a , dozen. "Well they're , high but guess Til take them." . .'And. he went into his minature store, pushed . through the red calico curtains which divided It from his livingroom, and soon returned bringing the money, "Cold St. Valentine's day," he said. The peddler glanced up quickly at him; something in his tone, a note of melancholy struck sadly upon his own merry ears. "Yes, a pretty cold day, but not cold enough to freeze the heart; only makes people blow the flame of love more briskly, and fan it into greater volume, "he returned sentimentally, endeavoring to cheer the grocer. "Yes, guess that't right at least that's the way it serves most folks well goodnight, "and he hurried back into his little store." This incident rested heavily upon the peddler's mind. The poor man! Had he lost his last friend, or one more dear to him? Were not his eyes filled to the glistening stage
when they had spoken of love? Poor, poor man! But here he- was at his
own cozy home, and there In the window stood his little wife, throwing kisses out to him. Sad thoughts vanished. He stabled his horse and went into the cottage to give his "Valentine" the small token of love he had brought. St. Valentine's day had passed and was . almost forgotten. It was the last of April. The world was beautiful with awakening spring. Nature was at her best, and all the people were Joyful with it; all but John Williams, the grocer. He had found Samantha's message and it had touched his heart. If he could but find the one who had written it. He knew not whether It was a man or woman, but he was in sympathy with the writer nevertheless. He was a kind, tender
