THE CONvICT'S STORY
AND OTHER POEMS By
PATRICK r. DENNEHY.

Patrick #. Denneby, sentenced to life
Imprisonment In the Rhode Island State
Prison, and after serving a long term
pardoned out by Governor Brown, Is now
earning an honorsble living by keeping
books for Providence concern.
Mr.. Dennehy is an educated man of
literary instincts, and so II was a natural
vent for the hours OF Loneliness in prison
to write verses. The best OF the product
OF his pen for the n years OF HIS imprison-
ment Is now published in a handsomely
printed little volume, which is sold in
Mr.. Dennehy's interest for 20 cents a
volume. The NEWS has taken a few of
thsse books. and they are on sale at The
News office.
The verses are most OF them of consider-
able worth and of interest, aside from the
personality OF their author. For instance.
the poem on his release contains these
two stanzas:
walk along the crowded street,
mingle with the crowd
Ihesr the childrcn's merry laugh,
see the old men bowed
With weight Of years and worldly care,
But no one do see
Whom have known In former years,
Aud none seem TO know me.
And this from lines entitled "what
Could Be Done II Men Were True":
Oppression, cruelty and wrong,
And every vice and human weakness
Would have TO die
II you and
Would only practice love and meekness.
And this from lines to "a Bunch OF
Roses"
The world outside these prison walls
Both Joy and beauty yields,
And flowers waste their sweet perfume
Upon q thousand fields.
But who will send one little rose
To grace prisoners cell,
Or waste q single thought on him
In solitude that dwell?
And this bit entitled "old staffordn,
Years have gone by. full maAJ,
Since from old Stafford strayed.
From the town loved better than any,
And the home where in boy hood played.
Tonight, with a fanciful notion,
conjure up scenes of the past.
That loved with q boyish devotion,
Which will live while memory shall last
There are bits of bumor, too, OCCASION
ally, as for instance this, being also from
"what Could Be Done II Men Were
Trus";
And politicians great and small.
Who get the Office aud the Doodle,
Could no more mix
With politics
st. Patrick's Day and Yankee Doodle.
The ladies. then. could stump the State.
And cast their votes for Mr.. Larry;
There'd be no rum
To bribe the bum,
No VS. TO buy Tom, Dick and Harry.
Cheap politicians could not rule.
They could not buy cheap votes for money
Then Charlie Page
Could not ereage
A block of votes from Colonel Honey.
There 10 not little writing in the book
that betrays the sentiments of a man who
has never acknowledged that he wa
guilty OF the crime for which he has been
punished. And, taken as whole the
little work Is OF human interest as well as
meritorious.

DANGER JUST AHEAD.

A Prominent Professor Speaks About the
Threatening Things abroad at This
Time Of the Year.
"It is surprising how many people are suffer-
ing todoy from so-ealled coughs colds and in
duenza"
The remark was made by very prominent
professor, connected with one of the leading
New YORK hospitals. Continuing, he said:
tit is not these things that are troubling
people, but 1t is an advanced form of our old
enemy, the grip. People feel out of sorts,
sneeze have pains in the muscles and bones,
have no appetite, lose all interest in the world,
and wonder what is the matter. 1t is the griI {,
nothing else.
"Now, all such symptoms need to have prompt
treatment, The attack must be met and re-
peeled at once. or IT is certain 10 run into some
talnly avoid these troubles which are now so
common, and that is to i'm medlately counterAct
them by using good, pure, strong stimulant
Nothing of the ordinary kind, but something
pure and scientific. For this purpose nothing
has ever equaled Duhy's Pure Malt Whiskey,
which is acknowle iged today by physicians
and scientific people to be the only pure, medi-
cinal malt whlskey upon the MARKET"
The words of the professor are true, and they
carry g wondtr III meaning TO many men and
women who are suffering with the first symp-
toms Of grip, or else grip in its advanced stages
For eli such people we offer word of advice
which Is to take the best means to overcome
these troubles and do not permit any dealer to
swerve you from your purpose to have that
which has proven itself by years of use to be
tbs best and purest stimulant IN the world.
