be gained from the horrible death
which was inflicted on Second Lieuten-

Lieutenant Brewers death was an
exhibition of atroclty the like of which
would be hard to duplicate anywhere
but In the orient. Lieutenant Brewer
and private OF the regiment were on
their way to Manila bearing a report
to headquarters there. Brewers escort
was shot Brewer himself was carried
away and put to death by starvation
having, in fact. been buried to his neck
with a dish of food near his face, but
beyond his reach. When his body was

Born in log cabin and raised to girl

Elaine st. Clair was not destined to
make much of a stir in the world Yet
such has been her fate. When she was
about 16, she realized that she had
face that every man instantly fell in
love with. All she needed was fine
clothes and jewels. These were all far
beyond her reach.
A bankers son was the first victim of
her seductive charms. They went on a
bridal trip to New Orleans, and she
wanted to continue it to Europe. When
the prudent young husband protested

POE NoE a DRUNKARD.

An interesting article appeared in
the Sundays Denver Post, by DR.. II.
S. Tanner. The title was an interro-
cation. "Was Edgar Allan Poe Bur
led Alive?" The author of the article
declares that the general belief that
Poe was a drunkard is an error, the
result of ISLANDERS published by-a writer
Of the name of Griswold, spread broad
cast during the poets lifetime and
since his unfortunate demise.
Abundant proof in denial of this
Islander is produced by the writer, and
among the witnesses cited are Nathan
lei P. Willis, lifelong acquaintance
of the poet, Congressman Thomas
D. English, of New Jersey, who repre-
sented the First district for years, Dr..
Moran, of the hospital in Baltimore
where Poe died, and Prof. Barrinqer.
of the University of Virginia, who, no
later than Oct. Z, 1893, at the unvaiIing
Of 3 bust Of the poet denied and de
no1nced the SANDER.
It is stated IN the article that Poe
was subject to cataleptic attacks. and
this caused the poet to brood over the
possibility of his being buried alive.
he exacted of bis friends the most
solemn pledges that he should not be
buried until decomposition had set In.
he died IN the Washington university
hospital, Baltimore, Md, in 1919, and a
dne monument in the city cemetery
marks his resting place.
Some mystery surrounds his death.

a majority and minority report. The
majority report says in effect: "As
