POE'S STORIES WELL BUIU
They Show Constructive Skill and
Gift of Decoration That Carried
Them Into Many Languages.
There Is in the best of Poe's brief
tales a constructive skill, a command
of design, and a gift of decoration
rare In any literature, and almost un
known in English, which is ever un
duly negligent of form. And no one
need wonder that Poe’s short stories
wandered swiftly out of our language
into French and Italian and Spanish,
into German and Scandinavian, and
Bohemian, into strange tongues where
no other American author, except
Fenimore Coo|>er, had ever before
penetrated. His weird psychologic
studies have influenced later writers
as unlike as Maupassant and Riche
pin. Fitzjames, O’Brien, Robert Louis
Stevenson, and Rudyard Kipling. His
tales of a mystery solved at last by
observation and deduction have been
imitated by Dumas and Sardou, by
Gaborlau and Boisgobey, by Wilkie
Collins and Conan Doyle. And Sher
lock Holmes, the only fictitious char
acter to win international recognition
in the final years of the nineteenth
century, is the reincarnation of a fig
ure first projected by Poe.—Century-
Magazine.
DEAD MAN SANG AT FUNERAL
Pietro Ficco, Amateur Musician, Left
Phonograph Records to Be Used
at His Obsequies.
We hear now and then of a man
'reading his own obituary in the pa
pers. but it is a rare thiugs for a
dead man to sing at his own funeral.
Pietro Ficco. a shoemaker and ama
teur musician, had a very great fond
ness for the phonograph. He pur
chased a good many records and occa
sionally sang into his own phono
graph and kept records of the songs.
He was taken seriously ill. He real
ized that he could not recover, and
being a poor man and unable to get
up much of a funeral he requested
that they use his phonograph to fur
nish the music for the funeral serv
ices. He picked out the “Angel's
Serenade,” and Gounod’s "Ave Maria,”
sung by himself, and these were used
and thus the dead man took an im
portant part at his own funeral serv
ice. lie instructed that his phono
graph and 72 records, a number of
them his own, should be sent to his
mother in Italy.—The Christian Her
ald.
Laying a Foundation.
“Pardon my abruptness. Miss Clt-'
ronella, hut will you marry me?”
“Marry you, Mr. Bonser? Marry
you? Not if you were the last man
on earth!”
Pondering a moment, he took a,
small memorandum book out of his
pocket and checked off a name.
| "Well,” he said, “there's no harm
done. It Is due you, however, Miss
Higgins, that I should explain. You
have heard, I presume, of the Great
American Novel, but have not seen it,
because ft has not yet appeared. I
am about to write it. But in order to
fit myself for the task I need one or
two experiences. *1 wish to undergo
the pangs of a rejected lover. I have
not yet succeeded —and yoit are tha
eleventh. I may have to be rejected
by half a dozeii more girls before I,
experience the necessary emotion.
, Good evening, Miss Higgins.”
Interest in Old Books.
Ladies who are looking for some
thing original in '.the -yay of an exi
hibit .might find more than’ the psuaf
interest in,a collection of children's;
books, as supplied by their friends, 1
jno book to Teat date of less ttian
twenty years ago. One'such collec
tion proved moist delightful entertain
ment. 1 There were quaint* Peter Par
ley hooks all sorts of books of
grandmother's day. An added attrac
tion was thV personal idea each sug
gested, with thejiames of the original
owners and verses warning not to
steal the previous book on danger of
chming to the gallows in the end and
iso on. One woman who is something
of an invalid* has amused herself by
getting together a collection of the
old McGuffey, schoolbooks that she
used in her childhood. She had some
difficulty in supplying some of the
readers, but finally got them aIL

Smith was working In his yard.
Pushing ills lawn mower hard.
Brown, who happened then to pass,
Asked; “Well, out to cut your grass?”
"No." said Smith, “I'm herding whalej
In the midst ot Arctic gales.”
Brown walked on. and shook his head,
Musing over what Smith said.
Smith was in a barber shop
Having his hair trimmed on top;
Jones came in with jaunty air,
Asked: "They’re clipping of T your hair?”
“No," said Smith, “we're laying brick,
Also weaving candle wick.”
Jones walked very softly out,
With his mind quite full of doubt.
Smith was riding on a car.
Fretting at the Jolt and Jar.
Black got on. am! asked beside:
“Out to take a Itttte ride?”
"No,” growled Smith, “I'm climbing
To enjoy the evening breeze."

Black got off, and tapped his brow.
Thinking Smith was dotty now.
Smith was lunching in a place
Where the busy waiters race.
White came In from off the street,
Asked: "Do you come here to eat?”
"No,” said Smith, “I’m here to sing
Joyous lyrics of the spring.”
White walked solemnly away
And was serious ail day.
Brown and Jones and Black and Whit*
Met togetiier that same night
And took steps to put poor Smith
Where he need not suffer with
The delusions that he had—
All four of his friends were sad.
But consider It. I pray—
Who was foolish? He or they?
True Skill.
“It was unfortunate.” we say to the
iistinguished and eminent sportsman,
'that you should have missed each ele
jhaut at which you shot while in Af
rica.”
“Unfortunate!” he echoes, with a
lash of his teeth. "Why, my dear fel
,ow! You are sadly lacking in perspi
:aciousness, not to designate It by a
shorter and uglier term. An elephant
is as big as a young barn, is it not?
Anybody can hit an elephant. It’s the
same as shooting at a flock of bal
loons. The real test of marksmanship
lies in being able to fire your rifle and
at the same time avoid hitting the
brute.”
Turning to his secretary, he dictates
hurriedly a ten-page article on "The
Waning Ability to Comprehend the In
ner Truth on the Part of the Average
Human Being.”
Scruples.
“I tell you a new game,” said little
Roscoe, “let us play automobile."
”1 don’t know whether I want to
play that or not,” demurred Harold.
“It will be fun. We’ll pretend like
the rocking chair is an automobile and
after awhile we will pretend that it is
broken down, and then we’ll have to
fix it.”
“I know, but mamma does not allow
me to swear like papa," said little Har
old, who had been on trips in the big
machine. - '• ' •
Wise Giri.
“Yon are the belle of the bajl," as
serts Sir Gawan Witye, bowing low'
before the Lady Isabel.
“Am I, really?” murmurs Lady Isa
bel.
"Aye, verily, gadzooks and oddblug
gers! 1 You are the belle!”
"But.” breathes the ..Lady Isabel,
who hath a pretty wit, “I am a belle
that doesn’t believe all that is tolled.”
Realizing that he has been rung off,
Sir Gowan Witye makes his adieus.
Experiments Docet.
“They say that since Mr.; Wiser got
his divorce he is looking around con-,
slderably, and sees every woman that
comes within his range of vision.”
“Looking around? Probably he
simply wants to be ready to dodge;"
'True u
Absent-Minded.
The professor had just sneezed for
the thirtieth time, and it naturally at
tracted some attention.
“What’s the matter with the profes
sor?” asked the visitor. “He appears
to have a bad cold.”
“Oh, no,” said Madame la Profes
soress. “It Is only his fearful absent
mindedness. I left him in charge of
the baby for a few moments this
morning, and when Jje cried he gave
him the pepper-;,,; - Jto play with in
stead of his rax.®?—-Harper’s Week

The next time you feel that swallowing
sensation, the sure sign of sore throat,
gargle Hamlins Wizard Oil immediately

days and perhaps weeks of misery.

There’s one little satisfaction when
a man fails sick, it makes his wife re
