KINGSTREE,
Id the Mayor's Court.
George Carrol, a negro who
conducts a negro restaurant in
town, was arrested yesterday
by Marshal Anderson for riding
on the train without a ticket,
It seems that Carrol went aboard
Train 51 and bought whiskey
from the news agent. Before
the transaction was completed
the train started off and Carrol
went with it. Marshal Andersoi
bad his eagle optic on Carrol
and pulled dim on the charge
above stated. The dusky restaurateur
yielded with reluctance
but by dint of mora]
suasion and a little jiu jitsu be
was prevailed upon to com<
along. He was brought before
the mayor and fined $5 foi
riding on the train without a
ticket and $15 for resisting
arrest, making the fine $20 ir
all, which the town no doubl
needs.

It was bad weather Monday
night for the Parland-Newhal]
Co., but a fairly good-sized au
dience groped their way through
dense darkness along the muddy
side-walks to the school auditorium
and once - they arrived
there seemed to enjoy the entertainment
very much.
The programme included vocal
and instrumental music, solos,
quartets and bell-ringing.
The latter was the best feature
of the performance and every
number was thoroughly enjoyed.

It becomes my most painful
duty to announce to our friends
the death of Mrs J E Lifrage.
She was taken ill on Thursday,
March 12, 1907, with pneumonia.
All that medical skill and loving
friends could do was done, but
to no avail. She gradually grew
worse and on Apiil 3, at 4 o'clock,
she quietly and sweetly
passed away.
Mrs Lifrage was 42 years of
age, and she became a member
of Union Presbvterian church
while a young- girl. She was a
true, devoted and faithful
church worker and her seat in
church was never vacant. She
was a daughter of Mr and Mrs
Yv J Montgomery. The bereaved
family have the sympathy of
the entire community. Mrs
Lifrage leaves a husband, four
children and four sisters, besides
other relatives and friends.

THE VALENTINE.
We Can Find Its Origin In an Anelant
Roman Fiast.
A fact in natural history?to wit,
that birds in southern Europe pair
about the middle of February?is
said to have inspired a custom of
the ancient Romans to which the
origin of the modern valentine can
undoubtedly be traced. At the
foist nf tho T.nnornlia. hold in hnn
or of the great god P?j, the n&met
of the virgin daughters of Borne
were-pat in * box-and- dmwn therefrom
bj the young men. Each
youth was bound to offer a gift to
the maiden who fell to his lot and
to make her his partner during the
time of the feast How this secular
custom became allied to the name
of a saint is altogether a different
matter. St Valentine was a bishop
of Borne during the third century.
He is said to have been a man of
very amiable nature and most eloquent
of speech, wherefore he was
very successful in converting the
pagan Romans to Christianity. Marcus
Aureliue was then emperor, a
relentless persecutor of the Christians,
and by his order the bishop
was beheaded. The date of his deatn
was Feb. 14, 270 A. D. We find the
statement in Archbishop Wheatley's
"Illustrations of the Book of
Common Prayer" that "St Valentine
was a man of admirable parts
and so famous for his love and charity
that the custom of choosing valentines
upon his festival took its
rise from thence." But probably
the connection of name is wholly
due to a Coincidence of date. When
the saint's name was placed in the
church calendar the day of his
death was made a festival to offset
that of the Lupercalia, on the 15th.
Tn Allen Ttntlpr'i "Ijtm of the 1
Saints" we read that the zealous
Christian fathers tried to substitute
the names of the saints for those
of girls in the lottery game, but
without success. So the "valentine"
custom spread from Borne
through Europe to Great Britain,
always in high favor, and later, in
the form of sending tender missives,
came to America and down to the
present time.?Housekeeper.
Of Doubtful Import.
Not Ions; ago a fond and rather
romantically inclined father was
approached by a young man whose
intention was to ask the parent's
consent to the marriage of nimself
and the other's daughter. After
considerable stammering
and confusion the older man grasp- ^
ed the other's meaning and beamed i
benevolently upon him. He rose _
and placed one hand upon the
youth's shoulder in a kindly way. I
"So, so. Yes, after all, I guess c
my little girl is grown up and must "
have a mate," he said. "Tell me
frankly, young man, is it her heart a
or her money that you are after?" 1
The young fellow blushed pain- 2
fully, but with a thrill of pride he threw
out his chest and answered,
"I already have her heart in my
keeping, sir!"?Leslie's.
