And whoever thinks that ro mance la dead and that valen tinea have no place in the heart of modern maida and their ad mirers should visit some ot the Klamath Falls grade school Fri day when th delightful ancient custom ot the valentine box will be renewed.

On the eve of St. Valentine day young people used to meet and each ot them drew one by lot from the num ber ot name of the opposite sex, which were put into a com mon receptacle mncb in the manner aa the valentine observ ance of th present day. Each gentleman thus got a lady for hia valentine, and became the Valentin ot a lady. The gentle men remained bound to the serv ice of their valentine ror a year. A similar custom prevailed In the Roman Lupercaiia, during which festival boy drew from a .common box. each tablet in scribed with the name ot a girl, which under the auspice ot Juno Februata, they war to be de voted for a twelvemonth.
