HIS FOUR SCORE YEARS.
ALFRED TENNYsoN, THE POET, HAS
PASSED THE BIBLE AGE.

4 Brief Biography of Enxland's Poet
Laureate-Some Stories That Illustrate
His Character-Is He the Greatest Liv-
ing Poet?
Many people believe Alfred Tennyson to
TO be at the head of living poets. Not only
is be accorded this rank from his position IS
poet laureate CT England, an Office that
has been held by many Of the greatest Eng
lish poets, but his works are better known
both in England and America than those OF
any other living poet.
Yet Tennyson, though living, may be said
TO be dead poet. He is an octogenarian-
his eightieth birthday falling on Aug. 6-and
though it may not be impossible for 50 old a
man to write poetry, no man Of that age is
likely to look upon the world with that
FRESHNESS Of the heart" as Byron declares
Which, out Of all the lovely things We See,
Extracts emotions beautiful and new;
and which seems 10 be essential to the divine
aftiatus.
Tennyson was born in 1909, at Somersby, n
village in Lincolnshire. There were large
families in England in those days, ard the
poet was one of twelve children, his father
being clergyman At 10 he went 10 Trim
ity college and at 20 gained gold medal for
a poem On Timbuctoo. He seems 10 have
chosen poetry as profession from the start.
But reputation did not come easily. Indeed,
TeIAhyson did work which deserved to mark
him as a coming light in the field OF poetry
without attracting especial attention He
published ''The May Queen without gaining
much reputation, and the surprising part Of
this is that the poem is the simplest and best
adapted to the great mass Of verse readers of
any of his poems. For years it has touched
the hearts Of, not thousands, bat millions,
and was calculated to commend itself at the
time Of its appearance as well as today.

A PUBLIC BENEFACTOA

"Who is II. II. Warner, of Rochea
ter, N. Y, whose Safe Remedies, es
pecially Warmers Safe Cure, have at
tanned such success and celebrity q
home and abroad?"
The question is inspired as much BY
affection as curiosity, since through
his instrumentality hundreds of thou
sands, in both hemispheres, have
been restorsd to health and happi
ness.
Hon. H. II. Warner, then, is Z
leading and honored resident oi
Rochester, not only, but a prominent
and influential citizen of the. United
States. On several occasions chosen
by his party as National delegate to
nominate President of the Republic,
he has been q member of the Repub-
can State Committee and of its Exc
cutive Committee. He is a member
OF the American Institution for the
Advancement Of Science; President
OF the Rochester Chamber OF Com

ness man. He has given away for
tunes in charities. The celebrated
and costly Warner Observatory OF
Rochester was conceived, endowed,
and is maintained by him. His
munificent prizes for the discovery of
comets has been at once the wonder
and delight of the scientific world.
The yellow fever scourage in the
South, the Ohio floods, the fire dis
ssters of Rochester and other cities
awakened his profoundest sympathies
and in each instance his check for
from $500 TO S., 900 swelled the several
relief funds. Where other wealthy
men give tens and hundreds, he gives
hundreds and thousands.
Ills charities are as ready and
magnificent az his enterprises and
public spirit are boundless.
The world has need of more such
men.
An incident led him into the manu-
iacture OF medicine. Seized some
twelve years ago with what the ablest
physicians termed fatal kidney dis

potent remedy, and the consequence /
is that to-day he has immense labora-
tories and warehouses in the United |
States, Canada, England, Germany,
Austria, Australia and Burmah. sales
OF his safe Remedies are enormous,
and their power over disease simply
marvellous.
The merit Of a production is in ex-
