The pilgrim fathers were undoubted ly heroic men, facing, as they did, with dauntless courage, fire, frost, famine and the red menace of Indian ruthless ness. But the pilgrim mothers were more heroic still, for they endured also all these things and had in addition to stand the pilgrim fathers as well.— Life.

DICKIE DENTIST Koom 14, second floor Marshall building INDIANA, PENN'A. & $ | Helping § 1 St Valentine 1 Si 3 HA. YE you forgotten about St. Valentine's day? It is coming, you know. Of course you can not really have forgotten, with all the foolish, sentimental, happy things cluttering up the show windows, but you may have forgotten that St Valentine's day is something more than a window display and that you are a part of it, says the Indianapolis News. It is no good saying that you are not; that you had nothing to do -v\4?h it in the beginning and have nothing to do with it now. If you have forgotten and if you haven't a valentine stuck away in your market basket, it is time you were remembering. It is time you were remembering ev ery sweetheart you ever had and every one you ever wished you had. It is time you were remembering every bit of proof you ever cherished that any body, anybody at all, loved you. There is no sense in being ashamed of it Living in a world without sweet hearts would be a dismal thing, and you would be a dismal sort of person if you never had one—if you haven't one now. St. Valentine as we know him is very likely a sentimentalist but he is a useful sort of person at that He makes it very easy for you to tell folks that you love them, and that is a thing that has to be told somehow some time, although nobody la sup posed to know who is telling it Of course, like all sentimentalists, St Valentine is likely to make many mistakes, and that is the reason it is so necessary for you to do your part. He is likely to fill one pretty girl's room with flowers and give her more candy than Is good for her, forgetting all abaut the girl acrsss the street wbe really needs a little candy. He loves te stuff the mail bexea with val entines for the children, forgetting that old ladles like them toe. He may persuade the agreeable bach elor of comfortable years to send a valentine to the young woman who sits across the table from him at the boarding house when it Is the woman. not quite so young, to be sure, who sits at the end of the table who wants a valentine. It is a sad thing to want a valentine and not get one, but probably a sadder thing not to send a valentine at all. And the only possible remedy for St. Valentine's mistakes is for everybody to send a valentine to somebody he loves.

Long before Rome was converted to Christianity the youths and maids on Feb. 15 annually drew names from two sacred urus in the temple, of those of the opposite sex who fate decreed were to be their sweethearts for the coming year. The early fathers of the church, finding they were powerless to entirely eradicate the pagan practices of the Lupercalia, changed it from Feb. 15 to St Valentine's day, the 14th. Valentino Books.
