« VO devise fresh novelties for each succeeding Valentine Day is one of the most difficult problems that confronts the manufacturers and merchants of the United ‘States and, similarly, to discover fresh conceits I in the form of tokens of St. Valentine’s Day involves one of the most . twentieth century young man who is ■*"slo* <_ anxious to bestow upon his lady love material evidences of his thoughtfulne®s and affection. It all comes about from hu-“ isanfty’s constant demand for novelty—an inslsisace, ever and anon, for something new and different—that is even more marked among Americana than among any other people, unless it be, Mayhap, the French, who do not make so much erf Valentine Day as we do. Is the old days the septimental exchanges of Valentine Day ran along on th? even tenor of its way, year in, year out. As each twelvemonth railed around the maiden ladies of the community , cad the policemen and the school teachers and other common victims were remembered with nts’ti-eolored caricatures .that were almost exe*tly like the “comics” that had been surreptttfously slipped under tlieir respective doors in preceding years. Similarly love-lorn youths dispatched to the belles of the community fanciful creations of lace paper and serdp pictures and poetry printed in gilt letters that were virtual explicates of the ones that they, or some other yoang men. had sent, a year or two years previously to some other girls. It was a happy era far the storekeeper who sold valentines. When os.« year’s trade was over he could put away the remnant of his stock with every assurance that

ft# could bring it forth twelve months hence and ttsd ft as salable as ever. Later years, however, have witnessed a change fe keeping with the characteristic restlessness of American life. In this lively twentieth century say Valentine Day gift givers are demanding fcoasediiog new and different with each successive season and the purveyors of novelties are driven to distraction in consequence. It is not meant to of course, that there is not, as in the a heavy trade in the fragile lace paper confections and in the lurid comics that may now be Was cheap as “ten for a cent.” The point is that a considerable portion of old St. Valentine’s «*biests expect him to provide distinctive tokens for each year. ft may be suspected that the advent of the picfere postcard was largely responsible for this era < constant variety in the realm of St. Valentine Day. Prior to the appearance of the illustrated postcards all valentines had to be sent in envelopes and if any writing was placed on the token •taach as tiny tell-tale initials hidden in one cor®ev> ft was necessary to pay letter postage. Consequently»when the Valentine postcards made their appearance soon after the introduction of fee picture postcard idea it not only commended lUalf to the young people who thirst for novelties ' hurt also to many fftlk who found the new form store convenient and (whisper the secret) to economical Individuals who discovered that ftot only were the new style valentines cheaper Shan the old-time pretty ones, but that Uncle Sam carried them in the mails at a lower rate. Os course, ft will be understood that the only people who were thus swayed by considerations of expensewere these of mature years who found it more or less of a chore to send valentines to all the children of their acquaintances. Naturally no ardent swain would hesitate at expense in selectfeg a February remembrance for “the only girl.*’ But the seed sowed by the Introduction of the postcard valentine grew rapidly and soon the purveyors of valentines found that they must

TOLD OF HALE’S DEATH

have something new to offer as each successive anniversary of old St. Valentine’s feast day swung round. Indeed, one manufacturer, driven to despair in his search for Novelties for 1912, recently declared that he woiild willingly pay thousands of dollars to any Inventive person who could devise for him seme novelty that would rival the popularity of the sentimental postcard. But no one has come forward with a winning Idea, although he has had all sorts of suggestions, even to an elaborate scheme for toy aeroplanes laden with love messages which, by means of a clock-work motor, can be made to soar in short flights. The subjects of St. Valentine falling to always find, in the mqrts of trade, love tokens that wholly satisfy their taste have taken to improvising amorous souvenirs of their own. Flowers are a favorite form of conveying modern Valentine Day sentiments. This is a natural evolution, for representations of flowers were almost invariably a leading feattire of «,he decorative valentines of days gone by. Indeed, one of the earliest of the manufactured valentines that appeared was in the form of a paper rose to which was attached a string that when it was pulled caused the various petals to unfold, disclosing tender sentiments duly Inscribed on each rose leaf. A wealthy young man of the present day can easily spend on his floral valentine offering hundreds of times the price of the costliest of the manufactured valentines known to the last generation. For, be it known, roses are costly in February and roses are, naturally, a favorite valentine flower, although chrysanthemums, violets, and orchids are popular. Some present-day swains not content with sending cut flowers for milady’s boudoir on Valentine morning, pay their respects through the medium of elaborate vases filled with rare plants. And, finally, most extravagant of all from the monetary standpoint are those young ipen who send to the objects of their adoration make-believe flowers that are more costly than any genuine blooms—namely, the

* — that gives the account of the conduct of our kinsman Samuel Hale toward him in York. As to our kinsman being here on his way to York, it is a mistake, but as to his conduct toward my son York, Mr. Cleveland of Cape Ann first reported It near us, I suppose when on his way from the army—where he had been chaplain—home, was probably true. Betrayed he doubtless was by somebody. He was executed about the 22d of September last by the accounts we have had. “A child I set much by, but he is gone. I think the severest trial I ever met with. My third son, Joseph. Is In the army over in the Jerseys and was well the last time we heard from him. My other son that was in the service belonged to the militia and is now at home. My son Enoch is gone to take the sasallpox by inoculation.”

Our First Industrial Town. To the south belongs the praise for the building of the first real industrial town in the United States. Corey, Ala., is model In every respect. It is built after the best plans for the workmen In the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company. It has all possible modern Improvements for health, convenience and cleanliness; the arrangement of the town in zones or districts —some of them for business houses, and others for various types of residences, ranging from a minimum of 81,250 to a maximum of 15,000; a system of streets, sidewalks and boulevards, artistically arranged with regard to each other and the elaborate planting of every street and avenue with many varieties of trees, shrubs, and flowers; and crowning all. a large central portion of many acres to be devoted to a plaza, a civic center, including the municipal building, school, public library, and T. M. C. A. building, and a large central park

water-color studies of floral subjects which have become so popular with picture lovers. To secure a flower study by de Longpre or some other well-known artist costs a pretty penny, but from the standpoint of the giver it has the advantage that it Is a permanent reminder of the donor and not a fleeting one, as is the most gorgeous cluster of nature’s products. The penchant of the modest, girl pet dogs has given the cue to many a mere man desirous of discovering a unique Valentine Day gift. The little canine that goes to a maiden as an envoy of love on the February holiday 1S Usually duly adorned with red ribbons and in j some instances carries a heart-shaped card or , other supposedly significant emblem of the day. The elaborate gift book is another favored form ; of valentine remembrance and illuminated vol- 1 umes of Moore’s love poems or other sentimental effusions are deemed especially appropriate by many valentine purchasers. Candy, too, does not need to tak£ second place to any of the other new-found mediums of sentimental exchange. In the days of yore the ap- , proved form of valentine candy was the heartshaped peppermint with tender messages printed in red on each bit of candy. Nowadays it is the box and not the candy contained therein that is ■ supposed to bespeak the heart yearnings of an absent or bashful suitor. The heart-shaped candy box is the favorite of all latter-day confection containers, but boxes in the form of Cupid’s arrow, etc., are also in vogue. And, speaking of Cupid, we must not forget that bronxe and marble representations of the littlegod catch the fancy of many Valentine Day gift gfren. Such statuettes may be as small or as large as the giver may desire and as costly or as cheap as his purse dictates. .The god of love may be obtained, artistically portrayed in plaster, for less than one dollar, whereas it is quite possible to expend more money than the average individual earns in a month or two upon a sentimental bit of sculpture executed in bronze er tn real marble. Similarly has the currency of sentiment on this significant occasion been made to embrace medallions and placques which, alike to the statuettes, represent Cupid In various environments and, in most instances, are reproductions of the work of famous artists or sculptors. Finally we find music, particularly of the sentimental variety, made a circulating medium on this momentous day in mid-February. Here, too, we have progressed. In the old days the young man who would fain make his appeal via the musical route could do no better than send sheet music. Today he has not only sheet music available for such messenger service, but also player piano rolls and graphophone records that can be relied upon to deliver a sentimental appeal in the requisite soulful fashion.

HOUSEWORK IS A HEAVY BURDEN

The woman who “keeps house” has enough to do when she is in good, sound health, but if she is weak, tired all the time, <nd suffering from morn to night with an aching back, house-work becomes a heavy burden. Many women who were afflicted in this way say that Doan’s Kidney Pills have made life easier for them. Women are subject to kidney disease. The clothing they wear, the work they do, Ihe worry and strain of bearing and rearing children, the lack of proper exercise; all tend to it. Backache, bearing-down pain<|, headache, dizzy spells, faintness, fits of “blutte,’’ and other troubles often thought to be peculiar to the sex, are found frequently in kidney disease.* When any one of these ills appears, together with a discolored condition of the kidney secretions, with passages too frequent, scanty or burning, just make up your mind that your kidneys are weak, and be quick to help them. Doan’s Kidney Pills have helped a great many weak women through the trying times when kidney disease means so much added misery. They do not disturb the stomach or bowels and contain no poisonous, dangerous nor habit-forming drugs. Doan’s are harmless for children too.

The following case is typical of the cure* effected by Doan’s Kidney Pills. Grateful testimony is the best evidence. SAVED HER LIFE. Made Well After Doctors Gavs Up Hope. Mrs. F. M. Hill. 188 W1 10 St., Waterloo, lowa, says: “I enjoyed the best of health until the winter of 1905 when I was seized with kidney trouble. I gradually grew worse until I was devoid of all energy and ambition. There was a stinging pain through my kidneys, followed by a dull, grinding ache across my loins. The whites of my eyes changed color and tS» eyeballs bulged. My hanJs .puffed and my feet became so swollen I could not wear my shoes. The kidney secretions caused. great pain and also annoyance by their too' frequent passage. I got so I could not eat, - lost weight and was gradually growing weaker and weaker, when my father advised Doan’s Kidney Pills. I obtained so much benefit from the very first that I continued and by the end of the first week the backaches and headaches had disappeared. I grew steadily better, and waa at last completely cured. Doan’s Kidney Pills saved my life when I was so sick that I did not care whether I lived or died. The doctors as well as myself had given up hope of my ever getting well. I am so grateful that L cannot recommend Doan’a Kidney Pills too highly.’’
