During his life his criticisms
attracted attention in America and
Europe. He was beyond doubt
the best critic Of the age, and
while he was severe and spared no
one in lis critical writings, yet he
was uniformly fair and free from
personal bias, except toward the
last of his career when he became
embittered. He thsn allowed his
personal feelings to enter into his
criticisms to such an extent that
he had difficulty in finding pub
Usher.
Whatever his character, his
weaknesses, and despite his fail
ures, Poe was a poet and writer of
the highest class, and as year fol-
lows year his genius is more ap-
preciated. Thousands of dollars
are paid for origina copies of his
works, and all the world acknowl-
edges that literature is richer from
his having lived. Yet with all of
his wonderful work it is not pos
sible that Poe gave us the best of
himself. Had he been situated
differently, without having to con-
stantly battle with poverty, is it
not possible that the genius of
this mar might have given us
something far greater than the
world has yet known? His whole
life and his works show that he
was possessed of a reserve force
which had never been called upon
under the proper conditions.
From all [ have been able to
gather from the life Of Poe and
from his books [ feel that he died
an untimely death with his mis-
sion uncompleted, With his grand
est song unsung. W. E. G.

che thermometer Tn Sickness.

Currie of Edinburgh employed
thermometer in the treatment of
typhoid fever patients with the
cold douche as early as 1897. He
was ridiculed by his German con-
temporaries as an instance of
medical decay in English medi-
cine. The first clinical applica-
ton of the thermometer was made
by Santorius Of Padue. He in
vented a thermometer open at the
end. After being held by the
patient it was plunged into cold
water. Boerhase taught the i'm
portance OF the thermometer. De
Haen (17O4-l776) must be given
the honor of introducing the Their
mometer into current use at the
bedside. 1t was not until 1850 to
1870 that it came into general
use. Elk.

qnalns ii regard to Infringing
upon .the constitutional rights Of
parliament. That sacred docu-
ment, Magma Charta, appeared
very infnitesilnal as he viewed it
from his present high pedestal.
He looked at it with considerably
less reverence than formerly,
and at the very beginning of his
administration, Cromwell realized
that parliament was as big an
elephant on his hands as it was on
Charles rs.
At one time while he was in q
fit of anger, Oliver Cromwell dis
solved parliament and regulated
the affairs of government without
that body, thus placing himself on
record as being more arbitrary
and tyrannical than the king whose
powers he had usurped. He
levied taxes and made laws on his
sole authority. He also performed
many benevolent acts, such as
reforming the criminal code, put
ting an end to the religious dis
sensions which had agitated Eng
land for more than century. The
burning Of so-called heretics at
the stake and the Spanish lnqui-
sition, which thrived under Queen
Mary's barbarous reign, we're not
tolerated. The Jew, Quaker, Cath
Ollie and Protestant alike could
worship God without being sub
jected to persecution.
In overthrowing the English
government, Cromwell may have
been animated by a patriotic de-
sire to advance the cause of his
country, but he must have been
painfully aware of the fact that in
its stead he established despot-
ism. In doing this he had to
abandon all of his cherished ideals
and expediency was the salve that
| cured his troubled conscience.
To sum up the admirable quail
tiles of this great man it can be
truly said that, if he had been
born of purple blood, Englishmen
to this day and subsequent ages
would have sang of Oliver Crom-
wells greatness and boasted Of his
administration. S.

Oliver CIR mVell.

When Charles [ refused to be
ruled by parliament and the vested
rights of constitutional law en-
acted by his predecessors, he not
only defied parliamb nt and courted
civil war, but signed the death
warrant to that vain hallucination
that 'sthe king could do no wrong"
and that he ruled by "divine
right"
In every great crisis in the past
which threatened nations or jeop-
ardized the liberties of the people,
man endowed with the requisite
qualities has always appeared
providentiaIly or accidentally
who restored tranquility and es-
tablished order where formerly
existed a multitude or warning
elements. Such a crisis appeared
in England in the seventeenth
century, and Oliver Cromwell was
the man to whom the constitution
loving Englishmen looked to pre-
serve their liberties.
Oliver Cromwell was religious
fanatic of very pronounced tend
encies. In fact he was one of the
most dangerous fanatics to appear
on the political horizon since
Peter the Hermit launched the
crusaders against the Holy Land.
AS a general Cromwell was far
sighted and dashing in his man
euvers, and as statesman he may
he credited with giving England
a wholesome and prosperous ad-
ministration. He silenced oppo-
sition at home, reconquered
Ireland, suppressed discomfort in
Scotland, united three kingdoms
into one and built up fourishing
commerce during his reign OF
thirteen years. AS a champion of
constitutional law Cromwell may
be considered demagogue Of the
first magnitude. AS member of
parliament Cromwell and his puri-
tan henchmen entertained profuse
lackadaisical sentiments toward
the vested rights of parliament.
Whenever Charles 1. encroached
upon any of the principles pro-
pounded in the great Magma
Charta that famous document
which had long stood between
headstrong kings and the people
none shouted treason more Justify
than did Oliver Cromwell. How
ever, when he assumed the reins of

Paper Read Before the rutaaqua Circle.

M SCOTy VI Cu0 great WIlIcIo
M whose work shows the touch
~ Of genius, you can find few
passages SO sad as those
which tell of the life and work of
Edgar Allan Poe. Others there
are who may have met with more
abstract sorrow in the course of
their lives, but did their capacity
for mental suffering equal that of
Poe? Sorrow as a condition of
mind must be measured by the in
tellect; consequently high intel
lect as possessed by Poe, when
tinged with sorrow, gives the
individual an acute sense of what
ever is sad and sorrowful. In the
character of Poe this sensibility
existed in an unusual degree and
for this reason small misfortunes
soon forgotten by the usual run of
humanity oppressed him indef-
nitely.
This trait of his character
Swallowed his whole life and is in
delibly stamped on all of his work.
Some who have read William
Wilson, a short tale describing
the Immortality of conscience,
have tried to make the story fit the
writer, as in the early part of the
story Poe faithfully describes
his own school life in England;
but there is nothing to show that
Poe ever suffered from troubled
conscience. D
No, it was not conscience which
made Poe sad; it was the natural
condition Of his mind, for when
he was only fifteen years of age,
a lady, the mother Of one of his
schoolmates, died, and while one
might expect him to feel sorry, as
she had treated him with kind
ness, his grief was so great as to
be unnatural, and we see him but
a lad in years making nightly
pilgrimages to her grave when he
would brood for hours at a time.
''The thought Of her. he said,
sleeping there in her loneliness
=. filled my heart with a pro-
found, incommunicable sorrow"
This peculiar melancholy Of Poe
never left him and in after years
he continued to brood over the
graves of departed friends. His
Ienore legends were doubtless in
spired while he was brewing over
the death of some friend. Death
always had fascination for him
and many of his stories and poems
deal with death in some manner.
Some of these tales are so weird
and strange and terrible that one
loses sight Of the beauty Of con-
astruction in their realistic horror.
The intensity with which he
felt sorrow was shown during the
long illness of his young wife.
During every rally, when she APP
peared to gain strength, he would
hope against hope, and at every
relapse he would undergo the
agony of her death. Between
these alternate hopes and fears, is
it any wonder that one of his high
strung temperament should seek
relief in dissipation? His was the
temperament which offers the least
resistance to temptation which
promises oblivion.
We must not understand that
Poe was always melancholy. We
have every reason to believe that
he at least kept up the appearance
of being light hearted when at
home and at the time his fortune
was at it's lowest ebb. When he
landed in New York with his wife
and less than five dollars in mon
ey, he wrote the most cheerful of
letters to Mrs GLENN, his wife's
mother, praising his wife's cour-
age, giving a most delightful

angle Of vision.
! Charles I. would have been one
OF the most model kings that ever
sat on the throne Of Great Britain
if he had not inherited his fathers
ideas of absolute power. He was
highly educated and polished
gentleman. He possessed an un-
governable temper, but was hui
name and gentle in disposition.
His greatest shortcoming, how
ever, and one which eventually
cost him his life-was his indeci-
sion of character. This fatal defect
in his character cost him the love
and confidence of his subjects and
aroused the hostility of parlia-
ment to a stubborn resistance to
any measure he proposed. In
stead of profting by the large ex-
perience which his father gained
in his obstinate fight for absolute
power, Charles [. resolved from
the beginning to pursue the same
foolish policy-a policy at variance
with public sentiment.
The issues between the king and
his obstreperous parliament had
become extremely accumulated
when the Earl of Strafford, the
kings prime minister, was tried
and executed for treason. This
notable victory caused a marked
decline in the kings enthusiasm
to extend and broaden the scope
of the royal prerogative. Charles
was cut to the quick, but quite
helpless in the hands of his en-
emies. Its effect on the mem bers
Of parliament was jubilant, and
they took advantage of Charles rs
indecision Of character by becom-
ing more arrogant and far-reach-
ing in the magnitude of their
demands. Parliament now rolled
up it's sleeves and proceeded to
the work of reform in earnest. A
bill was signed by Charles L pro-
viding that parliament should not
be dissolved, prorogued or adj
| journed without its own consent,
and that parliament should be
held at least once in three years.
The courts of the star chamber
and high commission we're abol-
ished; patriots were released from
prison; the judgment against John
Hampden who resisted the kings
enactments were annuled; ship
money and arbitrary taxation were
again forbidden. and the kings
instruments for oppression were
brought to trial. When parlia-
ment demanded that the king
should relinquish the command of
the army, the purple blood of
Charles assumed it's virile equili-
brium. It was the last straw; war
was at once declared.
This constitutional war lasted
six years. Englishmen fought
against Englishmen, and many
notable instances of heroism and
bravery occurred among the COM
batants. The laurels of victory,
however, remained with Oliver
Cromwell and his invincible Iron
sides. a body of pious icavalrymen
who spent their leisure in prayer,
psalm singing and Bible reading.
These religious fanatics were as
terrible and as irresistible on the
field of battle as were the fanatics
in whom Mohammed [ stirred up
the fires of religious superstition.
The war ended with the battle of
Naseby, and the kings arms were
put to rout by Cromwell and his
Ironsides. Charles [. was fugi-
tive without kingdom, crown
or a soldier to defend him.

authority in England. After he

AN APOSTLE OF SORROW.

|
peared to be in the gayest Of
moods, he would suddenly leave
cheerful companions and would
soon be seen walking silent and
alone. In his words, holding
solitary communion with the
mountains and woods, the affairs
of Byron"
Despite the pleasure be found
in being alone, Poe was not OBJ
trusive with his melancholy and
invaribly left a favorable impress
sion upon those whom he met
socially. Many opinions of Poe
have been expressed, and [ have
tabulated the expressions of per-
sons who met him as boy at
school; when he was a lieutenant
Of the Richmond Junior Cadets;
when at eighteen, at the time he
enlisted in the army, and of those
who met him later at West Point
and in after life when at the
height of his fame. These opin-
ions cannot fail to be of interest, as
they cover his whole life. OF
those whose opinions are on
record, twelve called him amiable
and neat; twelve were struck by
his generous and courteous man
ner; ten mention him as distin-
guished and clever looking; some
thought. Of him as being shy and
reserved; others call him satirical,
self-willed and capricious, and all
call him a gentleman. Surely it
was not genius alone which won
for him the friendship Of SO many
distinguished persons; Lowell,
Hawthorne, Longfellow and Willis
all helped Poe to obtain the recog-
milton to which his work entitled
him, and across the water Dickens,
Horne and Mrs. Browning were
among his correspondents. True,
Poe was a wonderful manager of
his own reputation. He was a
persistent letter writer and used
all means in his power to obtain
recognition. And right here is a
phase of his character which
puzzles me. (But Poes charac-
ter will always be a RIDLEY Why
was he always dependent upon
others to help him? He seems to
have had full share of self
esteem, in fact rather held himself
aloof from the world as if he were
superior mentally. Yet when he
wanted anything he seems always
to have begged a third party to
intercede for him instead of max
ing the appeal direct.
Poe never lacked friends or en-
couragement and from the first
his poems and stories were recog-
nized as the work of genius.
Almost all of his work is perfect
in its way, altho some Of his tales
are inferior to his usual standard
The reason for this is explained
by the fact that he often wrote
from necessity, and while he would
frequently revise and improve hur-
riedly written articles, he would
seldom discard them altogether.
And then he had sort of mania
for republishing old matter on
every possible occasion. In Bos-
ton at the time when he had pub
1ished his best work and his fame
was widespread, he was engaged
to deliver a reading before large
audience which certainly expected
something original. He read the
poem AL Aaraf, written years be-
fore, one of his minor and earliest
works.
Even in his love affairs be was
not above using the same poem on
several different occasions, with a
simple change in the title. The
lines "To Annie" were pressed
