Now there has begun a of new manifestation this homage pilgrimage by Young America to the home and tomb of the "Savior of His Country." First Pilgrimage" presented the Inspiring spectacle of almost 2,000 Iowa and Missouri school children paying homage at the Springfield shrines. It was a crusade of patriotism, of Americanism, of the hero worship that springs eternal in the young Ameri- can breast for Washington and Lincoln and the great and good of our national history. It was a declaration of faith In Lincolns Gettysburg Address : Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal . . . and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth. The purpose of the pilgrimage was to gain strength and reverence by actual contact with the actual places where Lincoln Hved and worked and had his being before the nation called him to the work for which Divine Providence raised him up and to the tomb In which he lies. There are many Lincoln shrines. Almost every spot intimately connected with his life is known and marked and reverenced. The Lincoln Memorial In Washington Is a thing of beauty and a Joy forever. In time the Lincoln highway, spanning the continent, will be worthy of his name and fame. Put always his tomb will be Abraham Lincolns real shrine. This "First Pilgrimage grew out of a meeting last summer In Springfield between Earl R. Ferguson of Shenandoah, la., and Rev. II. II. Pittman. The Klwanis clubs of the two cities sponsored It. At first the pilgrimage was planned for the school children of Shenandoah only. Other towns heurd of It and asked that their children might be Included. Enthusiasm spread from southwestern Iowa over the state line Into northwestern Missouri. And when the time came for the start no less than 22 Iowa and Missouri cities and towns were represented by 1,850 boys and girls. The start was made from Shenandoah. And all Shenandoah and the countryside for miles around turned out to bid the pilgrimage Godspeed and safe return !" It took three spe cial trains of 41 cars to hold the youngsters and those entrusted with their care. And these three special trains were made up of steel cars. And the Wabash cleared the track for them. instructions were Special passed along the line. No chances were taken with 1,850 school children, from 22 Iowa and Missouri towns going to pay homage at Lincoln shrines! Did you ever see a whole train-loaof school children oft on an adventure? Well, let your Imagination work overtime. The atmosphere was hectic during the early hours of the night. About the only pilgrims who Insisted upon preserving dignity were the boy who was guarding a young oak tree to be planted on the morrow and the girl who had been selected for the honor of laying the wreath on the tomb. But the excitement and merriment finally did die down. And the special nurses and chaperons" finally got a chance to go from seat to seat, "tucking in some of the smaller children and making them comfortable for the Some of the older ones denight. clared they were going to stay awake all night so as to be sure to see the Mississippi when they crossed it. Maybe they did. But lots and lots of the pilgrims had to be roused up out of the soundest kind of sleep for the first stop Jacksonville, 111., where the Klwanis club of that city served breakd fast at 7 :30. At 9 :30 the trains rolled Into Spring-fielThe pilgrims left their cars at the old Wabash station, now a freight office. Why? Because It was from that spot that Lincoln departed for Washington to take up the duties of the Presidency. They were welcomed In befitting style by the Boys band of the Springfield high school. Victor Ryan made the welcoming address. And Victor Ryan stood by the tablet which marks the spot where Lincoln stood on February 11, 1801, when he delivered his farewell address to his friends and neighbors. Lincoln may have had a premonition that lie was never to return his was a strange soul, seemingly at times closely In touch with the Infinite. lie spoke to about one hundred people, largely personal friends. It was a sad address, appreciative of his responsibilities and of the troublous times to come. Here are his exact words : My friends: No one not In my position ran appreciate the sadness I feel at this parting. To this people I owe all that I am. Here I have lived more than quarter of a century; here my children were born and here one of them lies burled. I know not how soon I shall see you again.

Tiie young pilgrims formed in columns of four, headed by the band. They marched up the street, took a left turn and reached the First Presbyterian church. There Lincoln attended services. There his pew Is kept just as it was when he sat In It. As the children of the first train left the church those of the second train entered. From the church the march was to the old frame house where Lincoln lived. Here they were ' escorted through in a steady stream of all the sections. Followed lunch at the high school. In Lincoln square all joined In planting "The Lincoln Oak, a memorial to the Emancipator and of the pilgrimage. Then the little pilgrims filed slowly up the ridge In Oak Hill. The sun darkened and the wind turned jffilll. Little the pilgrims cared. They were approaching the tomb of Lincoln. At the tomb the lines of three abreast broke into single file and one by one the Iowa and Missouri school children of the "First Pilgrimage' marched slowly past the sarcophagus of the martyr President. Not a word was said. The faces of the young pilgrims were studies In the solemnity of the moment. Mary Louise Brower of Shenandoah placed the wreath of the pilgrims. It lies beside the wreaths of Clemenceau and of Lloyd George and of many others of the great of earth. Let us hope that Lincoln In the spirit was present at the laying of that wreath The Second Pilgrimage was that of Chicago Boy Scouts, led by their scout executive, George Stephenson and George F. Repp, president of the Klwanis club of Chicago. The boy scouts were bidden Godspeed by Mayor Dever and given a letter from him commending them to Mayor S. A. Bullard of Springfield. En route films depicting scenes in Lincolns life were shown and appropriate speeches made. It was subzero weather, but 70 hardy A youngsters made the pilgrimage. special car on the Chicago & Alton landed them at 3:30 p. m. They were welcomed by the Klwanis club and were taken In automobiles to the Lincoln home and tomb. The only ceremony was the placing of a wreath at the tomb.

I suppose every day of earth, with Its hundred thousand deaths and something more of births with its loves and its hates, its triumphs and defeats, its pangs and blisses, has more of humanity in It than all the books that were ever written put together. I believe the flowers growing at the moment send up more fragrance to heaven than was ever exhaled from all the essences ever distilled. Ollvef Wendell Holmes.

Old Samuel Pepys, famous chronicler of domestic life In England in the reign of Charles II, makes entry in his diary numerous times of various Valentine customs. Thus on Valentines day nearly 250 years ago we find him making this record : This morning came up to iny wifes bedside (I being up dressed myself) little Will Mercer to be her Valentine, und brought her name written upon blue paper In gold letters done by himself very pretty; and we both were well pleased with It. But I am also this year my wifes Valentine, and it will cost me five pounds ; but 1 must have laid that out if we had not been Valentines. Prudent mun. A bit later Pepys added : "I find that Mrs. Pierces little girl Is my Valentine, she having drawn me; which I was not sorry for, it easing me of something more than I must have given to others. But here I do first observe the fashion of drawing mottoes as well as names, so that Pierce, who drew my wife, did draw also a motto, and this girl drew another for me. What mine was I forget ; but my wifes was most courteous and most fair which, as It may be used, on an anagram upon each name, might be very pretty. What would not the collector of old valentines give for Master Will Mercers valentine written to Mistress Pepys "upon blue paper In gold letters! That would be a treasure, Indeed, for any collector. Old valentines are less common than one might think. Perhaps this Is so because there have been so few collectors of them, and the supply has not outlived the demand. Antique and curio dealers one meets with every day who will say: Old valentines ! Why I never heard of anyone collecting them! We always throw them away, or we used to when they came our way, though lately we havent had any." Ah, the coupling of "lately" with the dearth of things. That is the collectors stumbling block, but If he be a true collector he will pick himself up and hurry onward to make up for lost time. Are You Weak? Appetite Gone?
