The result was startling six little pop-eyed ctjpids standing in a row, with even TAz's' T&fen tr& HyS&rzf -6 the their faces colored purple, black, yellow and green. Each held forth gingerly a shattered heart. One little girl from Tennessee sent all the valentines which she had received at school last year, together with the following note: "These valentines iare all that 1 got In our valentine box last year at school. Tou can expect all that I get this year, too. Wc" often study about the war and you in school. 1 told the children in my class that I was going to send all the valentines I got to you, and so, I guess I'll get more, and when you get my this year's valentines you will know that lots of little boys and girls in Tennessee are grateful to you for not dragging our country into bloodshed. "My father told me you will go down In history as something. I forget just what, but something awful nice, be cause of the way you have acted about war, or, I mean about no war at all. With much love, I am a small admirer of yours." One of the odd valentines to reach the White House Is made up of two boxes, heart-shaped, fastened together with wide red-satin ribbon. Kach box contains a nice, firm apple, and to the stem of one was tied a card, which bore the words: You name your apple core for me. And I'll name mine for you, Go it the seed count up to Love, We'll know It's coming true. e e Dezens of the valentines are con spicuous because of their inappropriate nature. For instance, one is a card board valentine in the shape of a wee, fat boy in overalls, sta-ndins at the edge of a creek, with a can of wig gling worms and a flshpole made of a twig, fishing hearts out of the water. A small pile of hearts are heaped up on the cardboard shore, and one large "catch" is dangling on his line. The verse underneath is: I've been flshlns "boot a week. Danrllnr; my bait In thl 'ere creek: I've caught a heart, but what of that. ' When you doa't know where your girl lives at. This helpfully hinting valentine might have been just the thing for some lovelorn chap to send to the ob ject of his fond affections, but why It should have been selected as an apt one for the President of the United States must remain an unsolved riddle. A valentine which aroused the mirth of even the dignified assistants in the executive offices last year was a pic ture of a little boy laboriously paint ing a heart on a piece of paper. On the ground beside him is a pile of school books, and standing a little dis tance off is a small girl who gazes scornfully in the direction of her young swain, as she declares (according to the verse up in one corner): Please don't waste your time and paint; I ain't your valentine. No. I ain't. To the valentine was attached a letter, signed Herbert: "The little girl who sent me this goes to my school. She Is in my grade. I sent her a 10-center, and got this from her. I am sending you a good one along of this, but only thought I'd send this, too, because it must be real funny, as every one laughs when I show it to them, but I don't exactly see the joke, as it looks like a snub to me, but I thought maybe as you are having so many troubles just now about fights in all parts of the world that it wouldn't hurt yofi none to get a little laugh out of it, too." CIVILIZING THE ALASKAN CANNIBALS (Continued From Pane 5.) We went out to the beach where the crowd of Indians was. They were di vided Into two bands, each led by a bravo who was stark naked. All were howling horribly. They had killed a woman and cut her In half and each of the nude Indian leader was carry Ins; hi half of tha woman In his teeth. As w came up tha bands separated and each gathered around Its leader. They were, so crowded together that 1 could not se5. They sat down In two ders and thus appear to the people. At this time there would be many cere' covered with came to the earth and filth; but I rapids, Vhen lo! there monies that would prevent the school was a pole stuck fast and firm In the being held. Said Father Duncan: "I refused to stop tho school. The Indians threat ened to kill me, but I kept the school open. Then they begged me to give up the school just one week prior to the young lady's drop from the moon. I told them that she might fall, but that the. school would go on. They then wanted me to stop for a day, but I great bunchea on the sand. When they refused and would make no compro rot up not a vestige of the woman wa mise with their superstition. On the rock, and I clutched at the pole, ana there I am now. The stream Is pass ing by and washing away my filth. Christ to me Is the pole. I hold to him and am safe." I might cite other quotations to show the civilisation, intelligence and piety of the Metlakahtlans. They are far above the average of their race and they are now aspiring tt a higher edu cation and to full United States citi- to be seen. What became of the flesh day -before the event was to occur two senship in which they shall own their I do not know, but I wa told It was eaten, and. that all bad engaged In the feast." "Do you mean to say that they ate tho flesh without cooking It?" "Yes, they must have eaten It raw, for, as I say, the woman disappeared. They may have burled the bones in the and. I doubt, however, whether the flesh agreed with them, for the offi cers of the Hudson's Bay Company fort nearby told me that It was the custom men came to kill me. They had knives and they were about to jump upon me when they saw my teacher, an Indian who has taught me the language, standing behind me. The teacher had a pistol under his blanket, and this bulged out in such a way that the In dians knew It and realized that they would be shot if they stabbed me. Ton see, the Indian never works in the open. If he shoots it is usually through a land In severalty. It is in connection with this that the Government has es tablished here the large public school of which I have spoken, and it is also giving them a greater voice in their own government and in the administra tion of their own business. Much of this has been done in opposition to and against the protests of Father Duncan, who thinks the Indians should be treated more like children, and that their education should be almost alto- blra to pay' 14 bead to tha "jingoea wh ground atudded with red heart, bora ara harassing )ou to gal our country Into war."
