The origin of St Valentine's day, which
will be celebrated today will always bean
interesting subject to those who observe
the customs of the day. The House
keeper gives the following brief but com
prehensive sketch of the .ay:
A fact in natural history, to-wit: that
birds in Southern Europe pair about the
middle of February, is said to have
inspired a custom of the ancient Romans,
to which the origin of the modern valen
tine can undoubtedly be traced. At the
feast of the Lupercalia, held in honor of
the great-gcxfPan, the names of the virgin
daughters of Rome were put in a box,
and drawn therefrom by the young men.
Each youth was bound to offer a gift to
the maiden who fell in his lot, and to
make her his partner during the time of
the feast.
How this secular custom became al
lied to the name of a saint is alto
gether a different mattei. St Valen
tine was a bishop of Rome during the
third century. He appears to have
been a man of very genial nature,
and most eloquent of speech where-
rore he was very successful in conveit-

mg the pagan Romans to Coristianity.
Marcus Aurelius was then emporer, a re
lentless prosecutor of the Christians, and
by his order the bishop was beheaded,
The date of his death was February 14,
a. u. we nnd tne statement in
Archbishop Wheatley' "illustratio-s of
th book of Common Prayer" that "St
Vaienine was a man of admirable parts,
and so famous for his love and charity
that the custom - of chcosing valer.t net
upon his festival took its rise from thence
But probably the connection of the
name is wholly due to a coincidence of
date. When the saint's name was placed
in the church calendar, the day of his
death was made a festival, to offset th't
of theLuperca'lir, on the 16th. In Allen
Butler's "Lives of the Saints" we read
that the zealous Christian fathers tried
to substitute the names of saimsfor those
of girls in the lottery game, but withou
success. So the "valentine custom
spread from Rome through Europe to
Great Britain always in high favor, and
last, in the form of sending tender missives,
came to America, and down to the present
AN GID VAUKTlfit

Within dusty secret drawer
It finds secure repose
Beside the peta s brown and dry
Of what was once a rose.
Its silken cords are faed now.
Its silt is tarr.ished too:
Th verses on its yellow leaves
Are very taint to view.
A pretty maiden hid it t'ere
Long since she passed away;
A matron now is in her place.
Whose locks are touched with gray.
But once a year she steals away
rrom noisy girls and boys.
And takes the dainty token out
That tells of van shed joys.
But never does a tear-drop dim
The azure of her eye:
She gives the relic of her youth
A smile and not a s'gh.
To her it breaths a tender Vale
Of love and peace divine.
Because, you see, sne married him'

A telegram from Okanagon Falls, B. C,
to Mr. and Mr. W. J. Snodgrass last
Tuesday, informed the parents that their
son John D. Snodgrass died suddenly last
Tuesday. In complying with the request
of the wire, which asked that instructions
be wired back relative to funeral arrange
ments, W. J. Snodgrass has gone to
Seattle where he will take a boat for
the nearest seaport to the inland town
from whence came tho news of death.
The telegram notifying La Grande re
latives of John's death, was preceded the
day before by one from the deceased's
wife saying briefly. "John very ill
Tuesday, the following day, came the
announcement of his death. No paiti
culars were attached as to the circum
stances. It is not known whether he was
at Okanagon Falls or further in the in
terior when death came. There are ns
undertakers in the place and the body will
be packed in ice until it reaches a town,
where the remains can be properly
treated.
Tuesday evening W. J. Snodgras left
for the north to meet the body. Since
his departure a wire has been received
from Mrs. Snodgrass saying that the
body would be staged to Stmmerland.
This is a new town and no one in this
city knows where it is located. Mr,
Snodirrass will receive. a wire from La
Grande when he arrives at Vernon, tell
ing him of the town where his son now
lies. Due to the uncertainty of wfere the
body actually is and the distance it is
from rapid transit, the body will not like
ly arrive in La Grande until Monday
night at th earliest and possibly not un
til Tuesday. Nd arrangement have been
made for the funeral a yet. The
deseased was thirty-nine year of age
and leaves an immediate family of his
wife and one child. '
