for Govurtz. It gives us due occasion and a perfect right to claim that we
have the largest and "best line of Go-Carts in the city. A glance into our
South Pirst-Street Window will tell you this claim is not exaggerated.
We expect to make a strong hid for the Go-Cart trade of Portland, and
start our campaign from now on. Not only do we give you a large assort
ment to choose from, hut "buying in such large quantities enahles us to
undersell competition and then, too, we sell them on easy terras

reproduced on this pagre, are brightly
colored and are Quite attractive. For
a nickel one may buy a larger card,
produced In Raphael Tuck's best style
of color printing and bearing some
motto of a humorous character. The
nature of these may be seen from
those reproduced here. Another nov
elty, one that is especially designed for
the children. Is a series of colored
cardboard figures "with strings on
them." whlclr gesticulate wildly
when the strings are jerked. Then
there arc cute little globes that bear
the motto. "You want the earth," and
neat little footballs that serve as pen
wipor.s. These request the recipient
to be kinder, saying, "Don't kick my
heart away." Another popular style
Is the valentine in the form of a fan,
although valentines may be found In
almost every shape, hearts, 'barps,
uoves and a score others. For these
who take the festival with becoming
gravity, there are many of the old
fashioned kind In new dresses. Hand
painted valentines- of celluloid and silk,
some of them with elaborate laqe ef
fects, may be had In Portland stores at
prloes ranging from 53.50 to $6. Some
of these may fairly be described as
"real cute."
And then there are the comics." Years
may come and years may go. fashions
may spring up and die away, times may
be good or bad. but nothing can shake the
comic valentine so-called because It Isn't
comic from its hold upon the affections
of some people. Comics cost a cent
apiece, and-never vary from year to year.
They have a caricature of a grocer or a
policeman or an old maid or a brick
layer, at the top and somo insulting
doggerel below, or a piece of advice that
presupposes, a marked failing, on the part
of Its recipient an example is reproduced.
Here is the jingle on one intended to be
sent to a bricklayer:
Tou are called a bricklayer, but you mike
. such as wall
That the rats a neck . after between the
. bricks, crawl.
Give over brick-cracking and cut your week
abort;
Close that .gash In your face with a trowel
of "morL" "
Tou're a. brick that the rain and wind will
. bo through. . .
And the sooner you're brickdust the better
for you! . - -
A -grocer is lo- bo greeted pleasantly
with these lines:
"With your well-sanded sugar, bean coffee
and tea.
Made f the green leaves of the sour apple
tree;
False scales and false weights, false teeth
and a grin.
Tou shut people's eyes as you draw their,
cash In.
'Tls eaid that all rogues will at last get their
due.
And you will get yours when Old Kick shall
get yon.
Such are the "comic?." and It would be
interesting to learn how the custom arose
of sending such Jeering missives on a
uay meant for the tenderest messages of
the heart.
Of course, "your slshlng-llke-a-furnacs
lover is not. content with merely sending
a card. He very "frequently sends along a
present of greater worth, and as Touch
stone says, "We that are true lovers run
Into stracgo capers." so gifts of all kinds
are selected by the Romeos and Juliet?.
The Valentine stocking has a vogue
In the Bast this year. It, or,
rather, they have mottoes such as "Don't
be a kicker," or something more appro
priate to the season, 'embroidered upon
their cobwebby weave.' However, dis
creet inquiry discloses that these practi
cal tokens of devotion are not obtain
able in Portland.
After all. the greatest and perhaps the
worst feature of St. Valentine's day is the
amount of "poetry" it evokes from sur
charged hearts. Many a youngster, as
the result of this Influence, has first set
his poetical feet and lame feet they are.

Yankee success. You will find that a man
loses money as a farmer, a mechanic, a
book canvasser and suddenly rises to
wealth as a builder. The peg has found
the hole at last.
An Englishman, unapprcclatlve of the
year 1, would have been chained to failuro
by the precedent of centuries. He would
have argued that he had always been a
farmer, that his father was a farmer and
his uncle a dairyman. Therefore It was
plainly impossible that he could ever
make money as a builder. In conclusion
ho would have quoted you that falsest of
all false proverbs, "A rolling stone gath
ers no mos3."
I say "false" only Jn the English appli
cation of the ancient proverb. For other
wise It Is an up-to-date motto enough.
The rolling stone of today remains pol
ished and fit for business. The stationary
stone Is liable to accumulate such a quan
tity of moss that It 13 only fit for a cush
