NOT TO BE SEPARATED.
Mr.. and Mrs. Follnnd to Keep Ihelr
Children for tho Present.

Children Tor ing SEcS''
Again has the POLAND family been
reunited and, with liberal contribution
from those present in the Police Court
yesterday morning. been lifted from ap-
ject poverty and started IN lie wen leu
and warmly clothed.
A touching scene. which moved many to
tears and softened even the ard-hearted,
was enacted in that human junk shop
before an audience which was all SYM
pa thy.
Thomas POLAND and his wife were ar
raiened to show why their three children
should not be taken away from them
Rev. j. w. Maybee. superintendent of the
Children's Home Society, appeared
against them. and with many witnesses
showed that both parents were addicted
to drink and did nothing for the support
or comfort of their children. Essie, the
eldest child, supported the family by beg
girg which she was forced to do. often
being made to so out at night and buy
whisEey with the few pennies which she
had picked up during days tramp.
The parents wept copiously at the
recital of their deeds. and the children.
Notwithstanding the treatment which
they had received, begged not to be taken
away.
The home. which is at No. 609 Holly
street is nothing more than a bare room
with one bed in it. Not even glass or
spoon could be found from which to
give Mrs. POLAND medicine when she was
found sick. The family were supported
by charity. Mrs. Folland having been
carried to the City Hospital at one time
when she was critically i'll.
Several lawyers entered into the case
through syn apathy and after eNactinS an
oat., from both father and mother not to
take drink for a year the children were
returned to them.
A collection YVES then taken UP, and
with the proceeds clothes and food We're
bought and the family sent home.

An American Classic
as a Present.

The publication or the
Virginia edition OF The
Works Of Edgar Allan Poe
is important because it gives
what is probably the best at
tainable text OF the prose and
verse Of one Of the foremost
American writer's. No pains
have been spared to find our
precisely what Poe wrote and
to present it in very con-
yenie1lt form. Professor Har-
risor. OF the University of
Virginia. accompanies the edi-
ton with a biography which is
a model OF franllness and SYM
pathetic Interpretation. The
story of the poets confused
career is told without evasion
or conceallnent, and yet with
a true insight into the causes
OF the tragedy which shorten
ed his life and obscured his
reputation. These facts llav-
ing been stated with thorough
going candor, there ought
now to be an end of the long
controversy and a new apprc-
cation OF genius for litera-
ture and Of permanent
achievement Of a unique kind.
For Poe was a poet of magical
gift, who has left a small
group OF poems which have
won for him place beside
Hawthorne and Emerson as
American writers. of the first
rank. He wrote a large
group Of short stories, which
belong in the first rank OF tic-
ton writing. And he was one
OF the first critics in our liter
airy history to expose and
condemn sham. unreal. sem
timental and inferior literary
work, and to educate the taste
of the cour1try.-11arnilton w.

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause, Generally
Overlooked.

One Very Common Cause, Generally
Overlooked.
Headache is a symptom, an indication
Of arrangement or disease in some organ,
and the cause of the headache is din
cult to locate because SO many diseases
have headache as a prominent symptom;
arrangement of the stomach and liver.
heart trouble. kidney disease. lung trou-
bic, eye strain or i'll fitting glasses all
produce headaches and if we could al
ways locate the organ which is at fault
the cure Of obstinate headaches would
be a much simple: matter
However for that form of heada che
called frontal headache, pain back of the
eyes and in forehead, the cause is Tow
known to be catarrh of the head. and
throat; when the headache is located in
back of head and neck it is often caused
from catarrh of the stomach or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most com
mon cause of such headaches and the
cure Of the catarrh causes a prompt dis.
appearance OF the headaches.
There is at present no treatment for
ratarrh so convenient and effective as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. new internal
remedy In tablet form, composed of anti
septicS like red gum. blood root, which
act upon the blood and cause the elimi-
nation OF the catarrhal poison from the
system through the natural channels.
d. Miss Cora Ainsley. a prominent school
teacher in one OF our normal schools
speaks of her experience with catarrhal
hcada ches and eulogizes Stuarts Ca
ttlrh Tablets as 4 cure for them
She says: II suffered daily from severe
frontal headaches and pain in and
hack Of the eyes, at times SO in
.ttnsely as to incapacitate me in
my daily duties. I had suffered from
catarrh, more or less for years but never
thought It was the cause of my head
aches. but finally became convinced that
such was the case because the heada ches
We're always worse whenever l had a
cold or fresh attack of catarrh.

recommended TO me as safe and pleas
ant catarrh cure and after using q few
fifty cent boxes which I procured from
my, druggists. l was surprised and de-
lighted TO find that both the catarrh and
headaches had gone for good. .
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at fifty cents per package,
under the guarantee of the proprietors
that they contain absolutely no cocaine
lfound in so many catarrh cures) no
opium ESQ common in cheap cough cures)
nor any harmful drug. They contain
simply the wholesome antiseptics neces-
sary to destroy and drive from the system
the gems Of catarrhal disease.
