THE VALENTINE STATE
Because it was admitted on Feb
ruary 14 Arizona is to bear the name
of the Valentine State. Its officials
sought to have its entrance take place
on February 12 ,so as to have it co
incide with the Lincoln birthday anni
versay, but it seems to have been im
practicable for the president to sign
the proclamation on that day, and the
matter went over to the 14th. While
as a nickname the Lincoln state would
have been preferable to its present
designation the latter will be accept
able. The fact of admission is the
large consideration, and this comes
after many years of endeavor on the
part of its leading citizen.
- Arizona has one distinction which
will be likely to cling to it. It is the
last of the states of the continental
contiguous sections of the country.
The whole region from the Gulf of
Mexico and the Mexican Republic up
to the Dominion of Canada is now
organized into self-governing units.
The roll of states comprises forty
eight names, and none is likely to
be added to the list until the twenti
eth century is well in years. Under
fhe terms in which it was admitted
in 1845 Texas is permitted to divide
itself into f our other states, ,but as
the permission of its own people as
well as the permission of Congress
will have to be obtained before any
division of any sort can take place,
nobody now alive is likely to see the
dimensions of that big commonwealth
curtailed. Its people belive that some
day it will be the empire state in the
number of its inhabitants, and per
haps that'hope is justified.
Where will the forty-ninth and the
fiftieth states come from? Perhaps
from Alaska and Porto Rico. Alaska
lias much more than double the area
of Texas. It would make twelve states
cf the dimensions of New York. But
Alaska's population is small, being on
ly 64,000. Some wards in New York
City have more people than are in the
entire province of Alaska. Moreover;
its gain is slow. But this will improve
as the facilities for bridging as mag
nficient distances increase. Some day
Alaska will probably furnish several
states, but necessarily that day is a
long way in the future. Porto Rico is
a candidate for statehood, but a full
erritorial government, with complete

You hava a store with an at

The theory of trade here seems to be to flood the market as often
as possible with goods of a low market value. I do not mean cheap

Heart to Heart
Talks.
. By EDWIN A.NYE.
YOUR. BOY.
This is a serious talk to parents con
cerning the boy the common, everyday
garden variety of boy.
He is a great institution.
He is bigger than factory or farm or
business because he has in him the
making of a man, and a man is the
biggest thing in the universe.
Shall the boy be a man or a thing?
There ia a lot of good in the average
boy. He is inclined to be trustful, and
he has a keen sense of Justice. His
heart is wide open to an appeal to
manliness, and he wants to do his best.
Good material out of which to man
ufacture manliness.- But
If you would get the best out of him
believe in him, not make believe, or he
will find you out
If you believe in him he will believe
in you which is your starting point
And if you really believe In him you
will not scold him nor find fault. That
sort of treatment brings the bad, not
the good, out of him. s.
To get at the heart of him foster his
natural desire to do his best by en
couragement. Because
He will grow into the likeness of
that which he desires to do or be.
Stimulate his desire to be or do, and he
will come to his fruition naturally, as
a flower grows. Even flowers must
be encouraged.
Cheer him on.
If he tends to some bad habit change
his surroundings. Association has ev
erything to do In the making or un
making of a boy. Get him into the
right sort of company, change his ac
tivities, and the bad habits will disap
pear by disuse.
Do not do too much for him. ' .
Be careful along this line. If you
do too much he will do nothing for
himself. Which is fatal. He must
learn to do things by doing them by
experience.
Be very firm, but very kind,
j Remember that he is in the making.
Treat him fairly, but justly remember,
very justly.
As he grows older appeal to his pride
to get on in the world. Get his con
fidence and hold on to it. Give Im
pulse to his ambition. Keep him in
the straight path.
Common sort of advice?
Yes, common, but many a parent is
trying to force- his boy or to neglect
him and then scold him into manli
ness, Tt cannot be done.
Why He Doubted the Map.
At a St Andrew's society dinner
one of the speakers told of a Scotch
gardener, recently landed, who had
great difficulty In acquiring a knowl
edge of American geography. The
son of the household, failing to teach
the gardener in any ojher way,
brought out a huge, highly colored
map. The Scot looked at it critically, f
"Ah, yes, lad; that may be, but it's
no to be truisted. It's laid oot in the
plaid o' the leein' MacFechtons," wa9
his comment

A Messenger From
President Lincoln
By DANIEL TRUMAN
During the critical period of 1861
When Mr. Lincoln was cut off from
the north in Washington I was asked
to carry a message by the president to
New York.
"Here is a letter." he said, "which I
would tike you to take to the governor
of New York, or if you can't get
through to New York and can go to
Harrisburg deliver it to the governor
of Pennsylvania. I believe there are
more militia ready to come from New
York than anywhere else: therefore I
prefer that you should go there. The
letter gives the appalling condition of
things here, and, coming from me, it
would never do for it to fall "Into the
hands of the secessionists. I must
therefore ask you to protect it with
your life and ' if taken by southern
sympathizers destroy It if possible."
'Mr. President" I said. "I shall car
ry out your order to the best of my
ability."
1 succeeded in getting a train that
took me to Baltimore and, not being
known in any way connected with the
government had no trouble in getting
through the city. . It was at Havre de
Grace that I met with danger. The
secessionists had burned the railway
bridge over the Susquehanna river, and
there was no way of getting across ex
cept in rowboats.
There was a secret patrol by seces
sionists on both shores who made it
their business to see that no one in the
interest of the government got across.
Pretending to be a rabid opponent of
the "black Republican government," as
it was then called. I walked up and
down the southern bank of the river.
ostensibly watching for those who
were on business for the troops trying
to make ther way to Washington. See
ing a boat coming, I called npon sev
eral men of the volunteer patrol, say
ing: "Here comes a boat with several
men in it. The one Id the stern with
a silk hat on looks like a railway offi
cial I know and a northern man. He
may. be - working to open the road.
Let's see."
We met the boat when it landed, and
1 straightway accused the man I had
mentioned of being an assistant super
intendent of the railroad. He denied
the charge, but I said I knew him to
be what 1 stated and proposed to my
backers that we take him back and
put him ashore on the northern side.
1 was so earnest and positive in the
matter that those about me were ready
to do anything I suggested, and. al
lowing the others to land, we got into
the boat and pulled for the northern
shore. On arriving there I Jumped out
and told the others to hold the man till
I could find some of "our" patrolmen
to take charge of .and investigate him.
I ran up the bank, looked about me,
then, as though I saw what I was aft
er, walked rapidly away from the riv
er, v That was the last the boat's own
er dt the poor fellow, I .bad used to gain

a safe passage for myself ever saw of
me.
1 succeeded in getting a train nortfi-
ward. reached Philadelphia without
further delay and. going to the general
superintendent of the road and show
ing him my credentials, secured a spe
cial locomotive to hurry me to New
York. Fortunately the governor was
in that city on my arrival, and I lost
no time in banding him Mr. Lincoln's
letter.
It was the first intimation he had bad
as to bow dangerous was the situation
at Washington. Before I left him he
telegraphed to the governor of Massa
chusetts, who, he understood, bad a
regiment waiting, for orders to depart
Then he got into telegraphic commu
nication with railroad men to the
southward where the wires had no
been cut and received their reports as
to what chance there was for troops to
get through. The next thing he did
was to write a reply to the letter I
had borne, charging me to deliver it
to the president.
My "main dread on my return was lest
1 should meet some of the patrolmen I
had, fooled on mv northward passage
at Havre de Grace, and so I did. I
hired a man to row me across and on
nearing the -southern shore saw one of
the men I feared walking toward the
point my boat was making for. I hoped
he wouldn't remember me, but he did.
See here." he said, "what did you
mean by leaving us as you did the oth
er day? I believe you're a black Re-,
publican hireling."
Almost before he bad got the last
word out of his mouth 1 raised a heavy
cane I had provided myself with for
such an emergency and brought It down
bo heavily on his head that he dropped.
I didn't wait to be Interrogated by
any one else, but walked to the edge of
some timber and when I reached it ran
like a deer.
I reached Washington without fur
ther adventure and was taken in by
the guard. The same evening I deliv
ered my letter to Mr. Llnciln. and it
was at leat a relief to know that
the terrible position of the capital was
understood by the governor of a north
ern Rtate equipped to push forward
troops. He grasped me by the hand
cordially and thanked me for the effort
1 bad made.
Within twenty-four hours the Massa
chusetts regiment arrived and the next
day regiments began to march into the
city. They brought great relief to all
the loyal citizens, but more than all to
the man who found himself president
of a divided country with his capital Id
the midst of bis enemies.
Limburger.
Contrary to the popular belief. Urn
burger cheese is no longer imported
into the United States. Lest some
persons may be misled into expres
sions of Joy over this fact, it is neces
sary fo state that American manufac
turers are making a better grade of
this cheese at so small a cost as to
drive their foreign competitors out of
the field.
- Irritating.
James Payn tells of a whist player
being told by .an opponent that he could
always tell by his face when he had a
good hand. This he resented exceed
ingly and applied to his partner for a
refutation of it but he was only still
more irritated by his form of corrobo
cation "that he had never noticed any
expression In his countenaut-e what
ever."

A Fighting Bishop.
On one occasion Bishop Selwyn was
going down the river Waikato with a
Maori when the latter, who was very
lazy, left off paddling the canoe, at the
same time muttering that if Selwyn
were not a bishop he would well, "go
for him."
In a moment the bishop told the man
to turn the canoe ashore, where, strip
ping himself of everything episcopal,
he said, pointing to his robes, etc.: "The
bishop lies there; the man. is here. I
am quite ready. Come on."
The Maori did not "come on," how
ever, but quietly resumed his work

The Fly and the Matches.
One would be inclined to say that foi
a fly to empty a box of matches is ut
terly impossible, yet it can be made to
accomplish this feat Catch an ordi
nary house fly alive and, taking hold of
it carefully by the wings, let it touch a ,
match in an uncovered box with its
legs. It will at once grip the match in
its endeavors to walk, and on lifting
the fly the insect will in turn lift the
match. Pull the match away from the
fly, and the same maneuver can be re
peated time after time until the box is
empty.
Not Exciting.
In the "Life of James H. Stirling"
It Is related that Mrs. Stirling used to
tell how, during a brief holiday to
somewhere on the Clyde, being kept
Indoors by three wet days. Stirling
read the Greek Testament continuous
ly aloud to her. first in Greek and
then in English. She was a truly re
ligious woman, but she owned to be
ing glad when the rain ceased.
