I SHOWS THE BLOCK SYSTEM.
"Eleventh Hour" Illustrates the Train
Signalling Plan.
The famous block house system of
signalling trains ou all trunk lines Is
brought into prominence by Lincoln
J. Carter, introducing it in .lies new
play the "Eleventh Hour." Mr. Car
ter demonstrates fully the entire work
ings of the "Block" system that re
duces accidents on railroads to a
minimum. How few people who are
riding on a fast train and fla3h past
a block signal tower know what is
contained therein and what an Import
ant factor that tower is to the safe
guidance of trains. Yet all of this is
thoroughly demonstrated in "The
Eleventh Hour" which will be present
ed at the Prazor on the 22d.
Big "Uncle Tom."
What is said to be the biggest and
best "Uncle Tom's Cabin" company
travelling will appear at the Frazer
on Tuesday, February 25th, 1902. It
is known from ocean to ocean as Leon
W. Washburn's Stetson Uncle Tom's
Cabin company, and is composed of
50 men, women and children, all cap
able actors, actresses, singers and
dancers. As a scenic production it is
said to bo better than any other.

Valentine No. 3.
Lady of tho smiling ovos,
I-firly of the golden hair.
Could I hut hope to win tho prise
There is no deed I would not dara
Bend but once those eyes on mo.
Let but one sweet glnnco ho mine
And this pure heart that beats for
thee.
Shall be thy loving valentine.
Several of tho other poems wore
mentioned Tor excellence, and various
points were cited upon the judges'
proof sheets as indicating tho man
ner in which they mado up their de
cision. The successful valentine is
here printed:
Valentine No. 1.
Saint Valentino is here once more,
And knocking gently at the door
Of lovers' hearts.
Mine opens wide, the dear old painter
Within now begins to paint
A maiden's face.
A snow white brow 'neath waves of
hair,
Brown, but for sunbeams playing
there,
And tangled In.
A cheek that Cupid's wing has
brushed,
'Til like the red, red rose it blushed,
He's painting there.
Eyes that must tax his skill I know.
They are so blue and twinkle so
The stars seem dull.
Those little ears in hue and tint,
To apple blossoms give a hint.
To profit by.
Describe those lips! a pen like this
is all too weak. They're mado to
kiss,
If I but dared.
The portrait finished. Valentino
Said, "Young man, make that maiden
thine
Without delay."
"Itight eagerly," my heart replied,
"No other maid shall be my bride
To thee 1 vow."
My henrt's key Cupid brings to you
And bids you quickly come to view
Your own dear face.
Ah, love, it only I might daro
To hope you'd let me keep it thore,
Forevennore.
No. 2, Lover's Lane, Bridovlllo.
Second in Excellence.
Tho third of the judges gave No. 1
the first place as a valentine, but re
marked that No. C was the best npor
trophe of Saint Valentine, these two
benig:
Valentine No. 6.
Gliding down the stream of ages,
From tho prehistoric line,
Known by Druid bards and sages,
Comes the good Saint Valentine,
To rejuvenate the aged,
To electrify the young,
As he did in ancient Carthage,
As he did when Homer sung.
For some heart ho bears a flower,
For some heart he bears n thorn,
Happy mortal, Cupid's dower,
Luckless mortal, Cupid's scorn.
Where he comes from no ono know
eth, But his mission Is fenbllme,
"Thou shalt reap but what thou sow
eth," Is a maxim old as time.
Let the loved one take his treasure
With a glad and grateful heart,
And the loveless his displeasure
As of his deserts a part.

SNOW GOING RAPIDLY
FROM THE MOUNTAINS.
' Water Soaks Into the Ground, Instead
of Running Off In Freshets.
According to recent advices from
the mountains, tho snow Is fast dlsap
' (tearing from the hills and canyons,
land it will only be a short time until
there will be none of tho "beautiful"
in Bight, if the present weather con
tinues However, the melting has not
caused the streams to rise out of tlioir
' banks, as is usually the caso In the
early spring, when the ehlnook
catches tho snow-covered peaks and
causes P. to disappear as magic he
fore the wind, but it Is gradually b
ing off cud the water Is soaking into
the ground to the great delight of the
farmers as well as stockmen. The
, soil Is rapidly thawing and adrolta the
I water to soak Into Its surface Instead
.of running off in torrent.
