Is Disease a Crime
Not very long ago a popular magazlno
published an editorial article in which
the writer assorted in substance that all
disease should bo regarded as criminal
Certain it is that much of tho slckncs3
and suffering of mankind is due to tho
violation of certain of Natures laws
But to say that all sickness should bo
regarded as criminal must appeal to
overy roasonablo individual as radically
wrong
It would bo harsh unsympathetic
cruel yes criminal to condemn tho poor
weak over worked housewife who sinks
under tho heavy load of household cares
and burdens and sufTers from weak
nesses various displacements of pelvic
organs and other derangements peculiar
to her sex
Frequent bcarintr of children with its ex
actiiifr demands upon tho system coupled
-with tho care vrprry and labor of rcarintr a
largo family is often tho causo of weak
nesses derangements and debility which aro
aggravated by tho many household cares
and tho hard and novcr ending work which
tho mother is called upon to perform Dr
Pierce tho maker of tliat world famed rem
edy for womans peculiar weaknesses and
ills Dr Piercers Favorite Prescription says
that ono of tho greatest obstacles to tho euro
of this class of maladies is tho fact that tho
poor over worked housewife can not get tho
needed rest from her many household cares
and labor to enable her to secure from tho
use of his Prescription its full benefits It
is a matter of frequent experience he says
in his extenslvo practico in these cases to
meet with those In which his treatment fails
by reason of the patients Inability to abstain
rom hard work long enough to bo cured
With tuoso suffering from prolapsus ante
Tcrslon and retroversion of tho uterus or
other displacement of tho womanly organs
it is very necessary that in addition to tak
ing his Favorite Prescription thoy abstain
irom being very much or for long periods on
their feet All heavy lifting or straining of
any kind should also bo avoided As much
out door air as possible with moderate light
exercise is also very important Let tho

POE IN THE CAPITAL
WHEN THE POET OF WOE SOUGHT
A GOVERNMENT POSITION
The Ill tli oh mid EnrncNlncxii of Hla
Qnent HI MlfieriiMe Destitution
and IIIh Futile CIiuhc o the Public
Service
Edgar Allan Poe the master singer
of sorrow the world famous author of
The Raven not only lived in Wash
ington a number of weeks but came
near becoming a government clerk and
residing in the national capital perma
nently says Elizabeth Ellicott Poe In
the Washington Post
Destiny prevented Poe from obtain
ing a government post however Burns
got into the excise Charles Lamb had
a desk In the Indian house writing his
masterly essays after hours Haw
thorne enjoyed a snug berth in the con
sular service but there was no easy
government billet for Edgar Allan Poe
The suggestion that there might bo
came from Frederick William Thomas
a literary friend of the poet himself
an officeholder under President Tyler
and deeply impressed Avith the light
duties of government service
The year was 1S 11 and in the Poe
calendar this was the year when the
Poe dream child a Poe magazine was
near birth The idea itself was born
without ways and means to protect H
from the world or keep it in the world
The personal exchequer was low and
editors dilatory with payments Where
was the money to come from for even
the initial number The prospect of
steady light remuneration came at the
psychological moment The bubble of
hope grew beautiful with rainbow
hues lived a moment then like other
Poe bubbles burst and disappeared
The story of its brief hour can be
best told In extracts from the corre
spondence between Poe and Thomas
On March 7 1S41 Thomas wrote a
chatty note to Toe on Washington af
fairs generally and his own literary
ambitions particularly and spoke of a
book he was working on
How would you like he asked to
be an officeholder here at 130 monthly
payable by Uncle Sam who slack as
he may be to his general creditors pays
his officeholders with due punctuality
How would you like it Then Thomas
touched up the picture with a humor
ous description of the sinecure post a
government clerk held In those days
The work is by no means hard You
stroll to the office a little after 9 take
your own leisure through the day and
then stroll homo after 2 to dinner and
do not return that day If after din
ner you have anything to do it is an
agreeable relaxation from the mon
strous laziness of the day You have
everything in the writing lme on your
desk and if you choose to lubricate in
the literary way why you can You
can follow literature as well here as
where you are and think of the money
to be made by it
Poe in his miserable destitution seiz
ed on this straw of hope with avidity
To be released from pecuniary care to
serve his beloved art in peacewhat a
haven it promised Besides Thomas
persuasions there were other reasons
why tVe scheme seemed possible As an
adopted son of Virginia a personal ac
quaintance of President Tyler and tho
literary protege of Postmaster General
John P Kennedy his chances appeared
great In addition to these he was a
descendant of men who had fought in
the Revolution and again In the war
of 1S12 and his own grandfather Gen
eral David Poo gave his entire fortune
to the cause of liberty and surely that
should have given the genuine grand
son a claim to the favors of the state
Eagerly he penned his reply Tery
characteristic it was too of the man
Pathetic in the betrayal of the present
sufferings of which pride would not al
low full revelation how the pertinent
earnest words hold a power to dim the
eyes that read them today
Would to God he writes I could
do as you have done Do you seriously
think an application to Tyler would
have a good result My claims to be
sure are very few I am a Virginian
at least I call myself one for I have
resided all the years of my life except
the last few in Richmond My political
principles have always been as nearly
as may be with the existing adminis
tration and I battled with right good
will for Harrison when opportunity of
fered With Mr Tyler I have personal
acquaintance although this he may
have forgotten For the rest I am a
literary man and see a disposition in
the government to cherish letters Have
I any chance
The earnestness of this reply evi
dently frightened Thomas To him
without doubt it was an idle sugges
tion inspired somewhat by sympathy
for Poe and gratitude for literary aid
given him The next letter shows the
change of tenor It is cautious and
noncommittal diplomatic and intangi
ble In this pretty phrase he begins
I trust my dear friend you can ob
tain an appointment President Tyler
I have not seen although I called to
see his sons but they were not in
Couldnt you slip on yourself and see
the president But perhaps your ap
plication had better be made through
some one who has Influence with the
executive I have heard yu say John
P Kennedy had regard for you and
will be glad to serve you Would he
not
This letter chilled the poef s hopes
Still he does not give up the Idea for
Is not John P Kennedy one of the
few trtre friends fate has given him
It will be remembered that it was
Kennedy who had obtained for him
the post of editor of the Southern Lit
erary Messenger and who helped him
with money and advice through many
a dark hour All the advantages of a
personal visit presented themselves
but where was the money After fu
tile attempts to raise It he writes sad
ly to Thomas
Would to God I could come to
Washington but you know tho old
uiory I have no money not enough
to take me there to say nothing of get
ting back It is a hard thing to be
poor but as I am kept so by an honest
motive I dare not complain Mr Ken
nedy has at all times been a true
friend to me He was the first true
friend I ever had He will be willing
to help me I know but needs urging
for he Is always head over heels in
business Thomas may I depend on
you
From here the story moves swiftly
Little or nothing was done by Thomas
for his friend who beyond speaking
to Robert Tyler sou of the president
did little for Poe Bob Tyler himself
a literary dilettante endeavored to se
cure Poe a position in the Philadelphia
custom house but his pull was not
elastic enough The custom house of
ficials promptly resented his interfer
ence and flatly turned his candidate
down A cabinet crisis the principal
event of the Tyler regime was ap
proaching and Bob knew It was of
little use to try to interest his father
in poets or poetry
Still Thomas by half satisfactory
letters kept the hope alive for a yoar
He must have known how frail the
promises were but the poet believed
In them and him His anxiety for the
post was heightened by first signs of
consumption in Virginia his beautiful
child wife and It meant delicacies
and probably her life Poo was not
Idle while he waited however With
the of government
service dazzling his eyes he still dug
away at the grub worms beneath his
feet The magazine scheme had grown
into tangible shape and promised sup
port made the future sanguine It
was as much in the hope of obtaining
support from President Tyler and his
cabinet as getting the long desired
clerkship that Poe came to Washing
ton m 1S48 leaving Virginia and Mrs
Clemm in Philadelphia
Arriving in Washington the poet
was given a royal welcome by Thomas
and friends Board had been engaged
for him at the Widow Barretts In
New York avenue near Thirteenth and
H streets N W Thomas and Bob
Tyler vied with each other in show
ing the visitor the sights of Washing
ton but here their Interest ended
Tyler read Poes poems and Poe read
his and highly praised them which
greatly pleased the play poet
Bees Like Lislit Clothes
Theres one thing you want to re
member if you go into the bee culture
business remarked the man who had
just torn a hive to pieces to demon
strate how easy It was to handle bees
and that Is never to approach the
bees when dressed In dark clothes
Bees have a decided aversion to dark
habiliments and they show their re
pugnance in a lively fashion Wear
white duck and youll meet their ap
proval I never think of fussing with
my hives so long as Im wearing a
dark suit and my wife to whom the
bees are not accustomed never has
the least trouble in approaching the
hives If she is wearing a white gown
A bee bears a grudge about as long as
an Indian will He makes no allow
ances for mistakes or an accident
Once you harm him he will have it in
for you for the rest of his life Bees
are not naturally bad tempered and
they are really timid by nature but If
you carelessly crush them they will
show an anger out of all proportion to
their size and will sometimes sting
3Tou until they themselves drop dead
Politicians and Other Bibles
You bibliophiles talk about the
breeches Bible the bug Bible the
politician Bible the vinegar Bible
and so on What do those names
mean
Ill tell you the collector answer
ed Take first the breeches Bible It
is so called because a typographical
error in it causes the garments made
by Adam and Eve out of fig leaves to
be termed breeches instead of aprons
In the vinegar Bible of 1S07 the
word vineyard is misprinted vine
gar
The printers Bible 1702 makes the
psalmist say Printers have persecut
ed me without a cause
The religious Bible which was
printed in 1G37 put religious for re
bellious in the fourth chapter seven
teenth verse of Jeremiah Because
she hath been religious saith the
Lord
The politician Bible was published
at Geneva in 1G52 It makes the fa
mous verse Blessed are the peace
makers read Blessed are the place
makers
Bananas as They GroTV
When you are buying bananas never
purchase the long thin ones unless you
want fruit which will pucker your
mouth No matter how well ripened
these thin bananas are they will al
ways be found both sour and acrid
That is because the bunch containing
them was picked too soon The bana
na grows fastest at first in length
When it has reached its fullest devel
opment in that direction it suddenly
begins to swell and in a few days will
double Its girth It is at the end of
this time that the banana is ripened
naturally and the effort of the banana
Importer is to have the fruit picked at
tho last moment and yet before the
ripening has progressed even enough
to tinge the bright green of the fruit
with yellow A difference of twenty
four hours on the trees at this time
will make a difference in the weight
of the fruit perhaps 2o per cent and
all the difference in its final flavor be
tween a puckery sour and the sweet
ness and smoothness which are char-
1 acteristlc of the ripe fruit
