Story of au Iolu Valentine.
Today Is St. Valentino's Day
and many a sweet worded missivo will
be sent by soft swains to tender swain
esses. And there will bo tho ugly
pictures mailed as "jokes" to people
mildly afllicted with tho short-coming
which the plcturo exaggeratedly ex
ploits. There is dangerin both kinds.
Tho girl may consider tho sweet words
a promlso land clto them In court
against you. Tho ugly picture may
get you into a fight. That has hap
pened right hero in loin.
It was years ago, when everyone in
town know ovorybody elso andjhad all
tho love affairs down pat. Two young
men woro sweot on tho same girl and
wcro jealous of each other. Ono of
those boys A'as a printer.
Two business men on tho south sido
of tho squaro, knowing all thoso things,
bought a "comic" Valentino "which
showed a homely printer humped up
over his case and a lino of doggerel
mado fun of him. On tho back of this
they scribbled a noto which purported
to havo been written by tho printor,
informing tho girl that ho know who
sent tho Valentino, that ho would novcr
forglvo her and that all was ovor be
tween them, This they sont to tho girJ.
Tho printer had not seon tho valontlno
nor had tho girl till then.
In tears sho hurried with tho horrid
thing to tho printer and told him that
sho never, never sont it, Tho printer
examined it carofully and immediately
jumped to tho conclusion that his rival
had done tho trick to try and break up
tho affair between himself and tho girl.
Tho plottors had planned well.
The printer made It up with tho girl
and when the whistlo blew that Is
when tho clock struck, thero wero no
whistles in Iola then ho hunted up his
rival. By a strango fato tho two met
In lront of tho storo whore the two
businoss men worked. Tho fight was
short and fierce. Tho printor sraashod
tho rival once and thon tho rival stab
bedihe printer twlco with aknlfo. It
was town sensation, for overybody
know tho whole lovo affair.
During tho light tho two busiost mon
in town woro thoso business mon,
bonding eagerly ovor tholr work, al
though they ordinarily would havo run
ton blocks to sco4a common dog light.
And they novor broathed a word of
tho affair until ton years later when
the printor was happily married to an
other girl and tho rival was far away,
Only no of tho flvo concornod Hvos
hero now and oven yet ho declines to
talk much about his part in It.
WANTS TO COME IN
They Ask tho United States to Annex
tho Islands as it Territory Look
ing to Statehood
Washington, Fob. 12, Tho mem
orial of tho federal party of tho Philip
pjno islands was transmitted to tho
nonato this aftornoon by tho secretary
of war, together with a lottor of trans
mittal by Govornor Taft, In whoso
chargo tho document was given. Tho
raomorlal was udepted at an oxtraor
dinary session of tho federal party
held in Manila In November. It sots
forth that tho performance of that
obligation of tho troaty of Paris which
gavo tuo United mates congress, au
thority to fix tho status of tho Philip
pine islands has bceu deferred to this
timo bocauso of tho attack by tho Fili
pinos upon tho sovorolgtny of tho
United Statos, an act brought about,
tho memorial says, through a misun
derstanding and not through hatred
of tho American sovcreglnty. It
further states that, out of tho sixty
provincos and districts, war exists in
only two Batangas and Saraar. It
also asserts that tho pueblos or towno
anxiously desiro "adeflnlto civil rulo"
and says thoso who wero still In arras
allcgo tho lack of a civil rogimo
"agreed upon and promulgated by
tho congress of tho United States as a
weighty pretext for tholr bellggoront
attitude, which rogimo shall dotormino
atjoncotho political status and civil
rights of tho Inhabitants of tho archi
pelago in accordance with tho treaty
of Paris."
Tho memorial then makes a presen
tation of tho deduction of the federal
party that congress should proceed to
carry into effect Its intention of defin
ing tho future of tho Philippines In
tholr relations to tho United Stated
and asserts that thero Is no reason for
not replacing tho military regime "by
a civil rulo of a popular character, in
conformity with tho decisivo words of
novor-to-bo-forgottcn Presldont Me
Klnloy." Tho memorial proper Is divided into
two parts. The first of thoso is a peti
tion for annexation and a presenta
tion of tho form of government desired.
In this subdivision tho federal party
sets forth that It has mado an exhaus
tive study of both tho Filipinos and
tho Americans, and concludes that
from tho mass of data collected it is
"tho lntontion of tho two peoples that
thoy should nover bo disunited." Tho
memorial announces as principles for
this union tho formation of "a moro
perfect union, establishment of justice,
tho insurance of domestic tranquility
promotion of tho general welfaro and
the securing of the blessings of
liberty .i"
Tho second, part of the memorial sets
forth the aspirations of a social and
economical character, tho princlplo of
which tho memorial represents to be
mo securing oi a remedy or tho "an
cient ovil known as tho friar." Under
this designation tho memorial includes
all the religious orders now existing
in tho islands.
IT SUITS AMERICA
Anglo-Japanese Treaty in Line with
United States' Ideas.
Washington, Fob. 12 Mr. Takahlra,
tho Japanoso minister to Washington,
to-day called at tho Stato department
and notified Sccrotary Hay of tho sig
nature of tho treaty between Groat
Britain and Japan, raado public yes
terday, In England, binding tho two
nations to joint action to maintain tho
integrity of China and Korea. Tho
assent of tho United States is not nco
ossary to this agreement, but If it wero
it probably would not ho withhold, for
it is pointed out that tho troaty is pre
cisely in lino with tho alms of tho
stato department, as fully disclosed in
tho notos published by it from timo to
timo. It is uguiu stated that thero has
been no joint action as between tho
United States and tho two powors
named, yot It is a factjthat tho prnam
bio to tho now treaty.mlght bo regard
ed as almost a paraphrase of tho posi
tion of tho United Statos toward the
Manchurlan question, us enunciated
in Secretary Hay's noto to the Rus
sian ambassador hero.
It is made very clear horo by tho
official statements, that tho purposes
of tho United Statos all relate to com
mercial and Industrial phases cf the
Manchurlan quostlon. With tho po
litical phase wo havo little concern.
Tho sovereignty of Russia or China
ovor Manchuria would bo to us an
Immaterial Issue, so lonp'as Amorican
ships aro freo to sail IntoJManchurlan
ports on qven torms with Russian
ships, so long as American products
may bo entered In Manchuria at tho
same tariff rates as Russian, and so
long as American railroad and min

churia as frooly us thoso of any othor
nation.

OPEN DAY AND NIGHT.
Ono of the Hest Kqulppcd Undertaking Hstab
llshmentsln tho State,
"I WILL BE THERE"
rorlglnal.)
I hnd always been possessed ns a boy
with n burning desiro to visit the un
inhabited regions of tho west and nftcr
being graduated in medicine resolved
to spend n summer in that way beforo
settling down to practice. I went to
Denver, whero I found a party organiz
ing to visit tho Colorado. I was invited
to Join nud was soon on tho way, great
ly exhilarated at the prospect beforo
me.
When wo reached tho extreme limit
of what was then Inhabited country,
a man in sombrero ami buckskin en mo
into camp ono evening and asked if
wo carried n mcdlclno chest. His lit
tlo daughter, ten yeors of age, was ill,
and he wanted something to give her,
though ho didn't seem to know what.
When I told him that I was a physi
cian and offered to visit tho child, tho
man looked at mo with an expression
of relief and gratltudo that I shall nev
er forget. Ho led mo to his cabin, a
short distance from tho camp, and
thero I found n bad enso of typhoid
fever.
What was needed most were -weeks
of careful nursing, but there was no
ono nt hand with experience sufficient
to nurse Intelligently. Tho nearest
neighbor was twenty miles nway and
if reached would not likely bo avail
able. I knew that the only chnncc for
the chilli's llfo was for mo to remain
with her until sho had passed the
crisis. To do this I must abandon my
trip to the Colorado, for it wns out of
tho question for mo to think of follow
ing tho party through n wilderness. I
laid out somo drugs, with directions
for their use, then told tho father and
mother what was required. I -was
young In tho profession, nml tho ap
pealing look they both gavo mo broke
down my Intention to leave them. I
saw my party move on without mo tho
next morning, remained with tho child
till sho was on the way to recovery,
then returned to tho cast. Ileforo leav
ing, tho father John Granger wns his
name took my hnnd nnd, looking at
mo with strange dreamy eyes, said to
me:
"Stranger, If you ever need help to
Gave your life, I will bo there."
It wns twelve years beforo 1 got an
opportunity to mnko another attempt
to visit the far west. This time I
struck farther Bouth nnd, having my
own attendants, began a tour through
tho southwestern territories.
It wns tho middle .of August nnd
very hot. Wo started ono morning to
cross a belt of country on which thero
is not a drop of water. I attempted
to hire a couple of mules In order to
carry an extra Bupply, but failed, and
wo Wero obliged to start with but two
kegs, one slung on each side of n pack
horse. The supply was a-plenty if we
got through on time.
We had gono but a short distance
when our guide wns taken sick nnd
insisted on returning. Ono of tho men
of the party declared that ho knew the
way perfectly and would pilot us
through. I told him to go ahead. All
uay wo rouo over aescrt plains on
which there wns neither treo nor shrub,
not a thing to break for a moment tho
hent of tho sun. In tho afternoon I
noticed our volunteer guide looking
about him, evidently for landmarks,
and with a troubled expression.
"Shall wo get water in timo for sup
per?" I asked him.
"Oh, yes, In time for supper, sure."
The sun hung,- a great round ball of
red fire, on the horizon, nnd there wero
no signs of timber, Tho day fnded
Into dusk, and thero was naught about
us or before us save a desolate plain.
Tho black night camo on. Wo were
lostl
The sun rose round nnd red. fore
warning us of a burning day. At noon
wo drank the Inst drop of water wo
possessed. When the fiery ball sank
again in the west, wo hnd begun to
suffer the pangs of thlrsf. Another
day, nnd our course was marked by
tho bodies of men nnd animals. We
left them, still pushing on, still strain
ing our eyes for n distant view of tim
ber. That night 1 Iny apart from tho rest
thinking of tho homo that I did not
hope to seo again, my wife, mv chil
dren. The saddest thought was what
would bo their gilef If they know that
within a few hours I should dlo lu the
ngonlcs of thirst.
Then I hoard a low voice:
"Doctor, I am here!"
I arose and through tho gloom saw a
man in Bombrero nnd buckskin beck
oning me. I could not distinguish his
features, but I knew It was John Gran
ger. Wakening my companions, I di
rected them to follow me. I did not
tell them that beforo mo was n guide,
either in tho flesh or in tho spirit, who
hnd 6nco said to me, "Stronger, If you
ever need help to Bavo your life, I will
be there."
For hours I kept my eyes' on tho fig
uro beforo me. Now nnd again somo
member of tho party must pause for
lest. Then I lost sight of our guide.
When wo moved on, thero ho wns, a
shadowy form, barely distinct enough
for mo to distinguish him from tho
surrounding gloom. At Jnst I turned
my hend to Jook for n sign of day.
When I looked ngaln beforo me, the
figuro hnd vanished.
Lowering my eyes to my feet, thero
wns n spring of wntcrl
I havo spent years trying to discover
if John Granger was at tho timo nllvo
or dead without avail. I submittal
tho enso to a medical society of which
I am a member, and It was unanimous
ly decided that I was delirious and fol
lowed nu Illusion, happening to come
upon tho spring. I havo nover been
nblo to bring myself to their opinion.
