Dear Junior: | will take for my subject
Great Geniuses.' A large number of
people are blessed with genius. Many of
these use it senSibly, but others throw
il from them as if it were a vile thing.
This latter class is the one which | wish
to speak of The grea test genius ever
born in America Edgar Poe. No lit
erary light in modern times shines bright
er than his. The story of his life is told
in his own words: II believe God gave
in misery" Robert Burns was another
man blest with far above the average
mind. Dlsslpated as he was, his poems
are today considered the very best. and
ters Saturday Night and Man Was
Made To Mourn are some of his best
work. His beautiful words Mans in
humanity to man makes countless thou
sands mourn are far too true in our own
day. Lord Byron was a very dssipated
man, but he stands in the front ranks as
a poet and scholar. We can only leave to
the imagination what these men would

JUNIORS. II YOU have spark of genius,

use OF it and YOU Will succeed in this
