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

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

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

"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

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-
