TRIBUTE TO PETR0SlN0.
Famous Italian Detective, Terror Of
Criminals, Who Was Killed In Sicily.

Vaguely, with neither praise nor blame,
We in our guarded safe repose
Knew him by name as one of those
Who walk the darkness of the days.
That Death walked with him through
the years,
Though never thought of faltering fears
Paled the high courage of his brow.
We did not know when evening skies
Shone on our rest or pleasuring
That any dusk his doom might bring.
The end was ever in his eyes.
He went his shadow haunted way.
The martyrdom we mourn today
Needs none to tell how we'll he strove.
He died for US across the sea,
- a people alien to his race
He died for amid the grace
And flowers of his Italy.
He has come home to sleep. to rest.
Here where men plotted all his harm.
Our sterner hearts above him warm,
Our colder blossoms on his breast.
Here Is no deed effacing death:
Here is no triumph for his foes.
Forth his unbannered battle goes.
His spirit breathes eternal breath.

the moment of victory left among the
colonists the belief that a heavenly
messenger had been dispatched to
them in the time Of need, and Judge
COTE is known today as the "angel Of
Hadley."

TRIBUTE TO SWINBURNE.
Ensland's Most Spontaneous Singer.
Says Novelist of Dead Poet.

George Meredith, the novelist, paid
characteristic tribute to the late Alger-
non Charles Swinburne, the English
poet and essayist, whose funeral took
place recently on the Isle of Wight
Them says Meredith, the earth
took to her bosom the most spontane-
Gus singer of all her English children.
AS far as our language would submit
to him he was an improviSatOre. Had
italy been native to him he would
have borne the renown of Il poet fired
on the instant to deliver himself oral

Mr.. Meredith tells the following sto-
ry as illustrating how poets whom
the. equable Horace described as 'ge-
nus irritable are the most generous of
men in dealing with their fellows
whom they see to be true poets

bottle Of rcd ink. In an hour he had
finished thirteen stanZas of his T.aus

paid so high Il compliment to another
as Fitzgerald received then.

the cost of the cure be prohibitive,
for the radium can be used again and
again without diminishing its cura-
tive properties.
The cure is being attempted by the
famous specialist, DR.. RouX. who has
become Pasteur's natural successor.
Although his experiment has just been
attempted and only time can show
the results, scientists have expressed
great confidence in 1t. His method
was surprisingly simple.
He took a tiny glass tube and in
serted into 1t speck of radium nc
bigger than a pins head. but worth
$4,000 francs. This tube was inserted
in the stomach Of poor woman az
fiicted with cancer. He then carefully
sewed up the wound. kept the patient
under observation for forty eight
hours until the wound began to heal
and recently announced that If in a
month no modification or sign Of in

that the cancer had disappeared.

A BIT OF ADVICE
First-Don't Delay. Second-Oon's
Experiment.

If you suffer from backache: head
aches or dizzy spells; If you rest poor
ly and are languid in the morning; if
the kidney secretions are irregular
delay. The kidneys are calling for
help. Slight symptoms of kidney
trouble are but fore-runners of more
serious complaints. They should be
given attention before it is too late.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure kidney
trouble. They are recommended by
thousands. Can Richmond residents
desire more convincing proof than the
statement of a Richmond citizen who
says that the cure Doan's Kidney
Pills effected years ago has proven
permanent?
Mrs. Fred Heater. 6O7 N. Thirteenth
Street, Richmond, ind, says: ''Doan's
Kidney Pills were used in my family
several years ago with the best of re-
suits in a case OF backache. This rem
edy was procured at A. G. Luken &
