In Lincoln squnre all joined In planting "The Lincoln Oak," a memori-al to the Emancipator and of the pil-grimage. Then the little pilgrims filed slowly up the ridge in Oak Hill. The sun darkened and the wind turned chill. Little the pilgrims cared. They were approaching the tomb of Lincoln. At the tomb the lines of three abreast chil trains of 41 cars to bold 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. Special instructions were passed along the line.

Well, let your Imagination work overtime. The atmosphere was hectic during the early hours of the night. About the only pilgrim 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.

The "First Pilgrimage" presented the Inspiring spectacle of almost 2,000 Iowa and Missouri school children pay-ing 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 Lin-coln and the great and good of our national history. - It was a declaration of faith In Lincoln's Gettysburg Ad-dress: Four scor and aeven yeara ago our fathers brought forth upon thle conti-nent a new nation, conceived In liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal . . . and that Government of th people, by th people, and for th people, shall not perlah from th earth. clared they were going to stay awake all night so as to le sure to see the Mississippi when they crossed It. May-be they did. But lots and lots of the pilgrims had to be roused up out of the soundest kind of aleep for the first stop Jacksonville, 111., where the ls club of that city served break-fast at 7:30. At 9 :80 the trains rolled Into Spring-field. The pilgrims left their cars at the old Wabash station, now a freight office. Why? Because It was from The purpose of the pilgrimage was to gain strength and reverence by actu-al 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 rulsed him up and to the tomb in which .he lies. There are many Lincoln shrines. Almost every spot intimately connect-ed with his life Is known and marked and reverenced. The Lincoln Memori-al in Washington is a thing of beauty 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 oth-ers of the great of earth. Let us hope that Lincoln In the spirit was'present at the laying of that wreath 1 The "Second Pilgrimage" was that of Chicago Boy Scouts, led by their scout executive, George Stephenson and George F. Repp, president of the Kiwanls club of Chicago. The boy scouts were ' bidden Godspeed . by Mayor Dever and given a letter from him commending tltem to Mayor S. A. Bullard of Springfield. Kn route films depicting scenes In Lincoln's life were shown and appropriate speeches made. It was subzero weather, but 70 hardy youngsters made the pilgrimage. A special car on the Chicago & Alton landed them at 3 :30 p. m. They were welcomed by the Kiwanls club and were taken in automobiles to the Lin-coln home and tomb. The only cere-mony was the placing of a wreath at the tomb. The portrait of Lincoln reproduced herewith is from a photograph taken hi 1857 by Alexander Uesler, Chicago. It was the first likeness thut was wide-ly circulated. Lincoln let his beard grow for the first time In 1861 and wore a full beard at his inauguration. that spot tnat 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 he was never to return his was a strange soul, seemingly at times closely in touch with the Infinite. He spoke to about one hundred people, largely per-sonal friends. It waa a sad address, appreciative of his responsibilities and of the troublous times to come. Here are his exact words: My frtenda: No one not In my position can appreciate the sadness I feel at this parting. To this people I owe all that I am. Here 1 have lived more than quarter of a century; here my children were born and here one of them lie burled. I know not bow soon I shall see you again. A duty devolve upon me which la. perhaps, greater than that and a Joy forever. In time the' Lin-coln highway, spanning the continent, will be worthy of his name, and fame. But always hl tomb will be Abraham Lincoln's real shrfne. " This "First Pilgrimage" grew out of a meeting last summer In Springfield between Eurl It. Ferguson of Shenan-doah, la., and Rev. II. II. Plttmau. The Kiwanls clubs of the two cities spon-sored it. At first the pilgrimage was planned for the school children of Shenandoah only. Other towns heard 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 Shenan-doah. And all Shenandoah and the countryside for miles arouud turned out to bid the pilgrimage "Godtipeed and safe return !" It took three spe-- VEAK.

Old Samuel Pepys, famous chron-icler of domestic life In England In the reign of Charles II, makes entry In his diary numerous times of various' Valentine customs. Thus on Valen-tine's day nearly 250 years ago we find him making this record: "This morn-ing came up to tny wife's bedside (I being up dressed myself) little Will Mercer to be her Valentine, and brought her name written upon blue paper In gold letters done by himself very jiretty; and we both were well pleased with It But I am also this year my wife's Valentine, and It wilt cost me five pounds ; but I must have laid that out if we had not been Val-entines." Prudent man. A bit later Pepys added: "I find that Mrs. Pierce's 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 aa well as namea, so that Pierce, who drew my wife, did draw also a motto, and this girl drew another for me. What mine was I for-get ; but my wife's was 'most cour-teous 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 Mer-cer's valentine written to Mistress Pepys "upon blue paper in gold let-ters!" That would be a treasure. In-deed, 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 val-entines I Why I never heard of anyone collecting them I We always throw them away, or we used to when they came our way, though lately we haven't bad any." Ah, the coupling of "lately" with the dearth of things. That Is the collector's stumbling block, but If he be a true collector he will pick himself up and hurry onward to make up for lost time. It Is best In wearing superfine clothes to consider whether one has the style and manner to wear them. Valentine's Day of Pagan Origin Came to Us From "Love Lottery" of the Ancient Romans. Row and where did St Valentine's day originate? It ia said to have had Its beginning In the farmyard, where the ganders choose their mates on the fourteenth day of February, a preliminary of their courtship being a remarkable fancy dance. Nor, Indeed, does this theory of lta origin reflect upon lovers a painful ridicule. Inasmuch us ganders, once mated, make excellent and faithful husbands. So domestically are they Inclined that fhey even sit on the eggs when the female bird Is off the nest. In ancient Rome a sort of love lot-tery was annually held at the time of the festival called the Supercalla, be-cause It was believed that at that sea-son of the year birds chose their mates. It was a festival celebrated In February, In honor of Pan and Juno, and tablets bearing young wom-en's names were drawn out of a box by the young men. Bach youth avail-ing himself of this privilege was ex-pected to be until the next Supercalla the faithful attendant of her whose name he had drawn. ' ; ' ' ... . It was a pretty custom, and worth preserving. So Christianity, when It "took over" the pagan festivals and adapted them to Its own uses, kept the anniversary of the Supercalla as St Valentine's day, renaming It In honor of a holy martyr, who had been done to death at Rome In the Third century, A. D. There was no special reason why St Valentine should be chosen In pref-erence to any other saint. It does not appear that he took any particular Interest In lovers and But, having first been clubbed to death and then beheaded, he deserved to be Immortalized In some fashion, and In this way the object waa attained. The early fathers of the church so modified the Supercalla as to give to the celebration a religious character, and at first the names of saints were drawn as valentines, Instead of those of living young women. Even at the present day In some Catholic churches the. custom Is observed of selecting on St. Valentine's day for the ensuing year a patron saint who Is called a valentine But youtUsf'khd maidens, finding little amusement In drawing out the names of dead and gone holy men, soon reverted to the practice of drawing each other. !Ml.l,VMlAlfilWUiUkWiliAfAUkUi.iAUluiiUi-i- M i;WKOTKWjjae3K&a4J)!

Old-Tim- e Valentines A tender missive of the last century shows a d girl with a big valentine under her arm and an um-brella that changes its position, says: "I'm keeping my valentine safe for you." . - Another maiden moves her eyes se-ductively as. her moving hand writes on a tablet an affectionate sentiment appropriate to the season. In like manner, a boy's eyes alter their expression while he manipulates the bow of a fiddle. A dude carrying a large bouquet lifts his hat and moves one leg simul- - taneously as If walking, the two move-- went s being accomplished by a single pivoted paper attachment at the back.

Some of this Increase, of course, Is due to the advance In price levels, but the larger part may be attributed to ac-tual Increases In assets. Australia's Wealth The private wealth of Australia advanced about 33 per cent during the six years preceding June 30, 1921, according to figures compiled by the Commonwealth statistician. The per capita wealth has also shown consid-erable advances daring late years. An estimate made at the beginning of the Nineteenth century placed the total wealth at 1,000,000, or about 75 head. Ia 1890 it reached 1,019,000,- - i Costly Valentines When quaint old Pepys wrote hie diary St. Valentine was still "fashion- - able," and many genuine love affairs grew out of the Jesting beginning, while the "favors' frequently were a splendid extravagance that would be frowned upon by the tastes and man-- oers of our day. The duke of York, we are told by the dear old gossip, gav ring worth $4,000 to bis for-- tunate valentine. The same woman fell the following year to the lot of Lord MandevIIIe, whose token was a diamond valued at $1,500. Life and Boohs I always believed In life rather than books.
