THE POE CENTENARY.

Today, at the University of Vir-
ginia. will be inaugurated the week s
program which has been arranged In
honor OF the one -hundredth anniver-
sary Of the birth Of Edgar Allen Poe.
The celebration at the famous old
university viii be worthy of the in
stitution and Of the distinguished au-
thor In whose memory it is to be
held. Men Of letters from all parts
of the world, where the English Ian
guage is read. will participate in the
tribute to the wonderful genius of this
remarkable man, whose influence upon
literature was permanent and pro-
nounced. or Poe's work, one Of
Americas most noted critics writes:
The flawless literary workmanship,
the balanced sentences which some-
how are never monotonous. the per-
feet unity Of plan and singleness of
effect which are shown In dozen of
Poe's tales have never been sur
passeo. They may deal with utter
mpossibilities-bu you never feel this
while reading them. The intense
horror never goes far enough to pro-
duce the reyulsion of disbelief, the
suggestion is always kept sugges-
ton; and when you reach the climax
Of 'Ligeia' or The Telltale Heart"
you feel that you have been an eye
witness to the terrors set forth.
The only time Poe scores a failure
is when he tries to be humorous; and
then he scores very bad failures In
deed. Humor implies sympathy with
ones fellows, and that quality was
very nearly left out of Poe's make
up. He despised most of his con-
temporaries and was totally indiffer-
ent to the rest. The only persons he |
ever loved were his cousin wife and
himself; and the second named pas
sion began earlier and lasted longer
than the first"

| their separate ways
The next morning the captain tool
the gold to the bank window to ex.
change 1t for paper money. They took
1t in, after examining it for a few
minutes, and gave him back four 81
bills and 9S cents in change. In ex-
changing bills the bank always gives
bill for bill, but gold is carefully
weighed and only the exact value of
the worn piece is returned to the
owner.
The captain looked ruefully at the
change for moment, and then ex-
claimed, good naturedly: Il might
have known that the old rebel would
get the best of me-"
Not all of the cancelled warrants and
checks made out on the treasury are
kept, but they still have the largest
and smallest warrants ever made The

purchase price of the Panama canal

contrast to this immense sum is the
warrant made out to President Cleve-
land at one time for l cent, necessary
in the balancing of his salary
Perhaps the most remarkable fact
about this country bank of Uncle
Sam is that, in one way or other,
every piece of money, whether paper
Or coin, passes through the hands of
its officials before being put into cir
culation, When the paper money is
made at the governments bureau of
engraving and printing at Washington
it is hauled to the banks vaults under
the treasury building in a wagon built
and used for this purpose alone. The
wagon is constructed of iron and is
bomb proof. 1t closely resembles the
average BLACK Maria" used in many
cities to convey prisoners from the
police court to the Jail after sentence.
While transporting the money through
bureau to the treasury the wagon IS
guarded by two armed men, both of
whom have lengthy and honorable rec
'rds for courage. The average daily |
laul is about 100000. Sometimes as
much as 100000 in bills of large de- |
are carried in one load. AT |

would be unable to get it that day.

ipulous dealers, mindful only of profit and caring
for the health of their patrons, are offering for
grade, impure whiskey, which they tell you is as

It's cheap connection and fraud, intended
to deceive the people. Of course, when

been prescribed and used by the best doctors
and in all the prominent hospitals, and has
carried the blessing of health into so many
thousands of homes as Dufy's Pure Malt
Whiskey has, limitations are bound to arise.
But they can initiate tie bottle and label onk-no

essence, which is the most effective tonic slim
ulant and invigorator known to science; softened

stomach.
ANY firm that will sell imitation or substitution
goods will sell impure goods. The firm that is
dishonest in one thing would not hesitate to be
dishonest in another. Whenever you see imta-
ton and substitution goods offered for sale by a
firm, beware of anything and everything put up

the lives OF your family and friends by dealing

In appearance, such a gigantic insti-

volume of business transacted therein
In fact. 1t resembles, more than any,
thing else, the typical country bank
In q medium sized town. While there
are no farm wagons with their loads
of produce ready for market and
trucks Of hay hitched to the fence out

This country" bank III Uncle Sans
Is in reality the direct descendant OF
that real Bank Of the United States
that came to such an untimely end
during President Jackson'3 administra-
ton. 1t was then that the authorities
discovered that they could not trans
act practical banking business with
the people direct 1t was not paying
for the government to en-
ter into competition with private
banks when it did not have the same
facilities for putting out the money
that were allowed the private banks.
So the treasury department took
charge of all the public moneys and
installed this little country bank to
attend to the disbursement of it.
1t is situated at the north entrance

With its plain and unpretentious bust

The air, though, is heavy with the
lank, peculiar odor of many green
packs, and one feels rather than hears |

iull clink of the gold. The bulk of the |
banks business is done not over it's |
but out of its shipping rooms. |

DAIRYMEN NOT PROSPEROUS
Tuberculosis Caused Havoc Among
 the Cattle.

In referring to the havoc caused among the cattle in this state by tuber- culosis, Mir Manchester of the Connec- ticut Dairymen's Association says that Tuberculosis among dairy cattle is a menace to our business and annually causes loss far in excess of what we like to acknowledge. Our state now is 8 dumping ground for cattle that have been tuberculin tested, condemned ana shipped into our state. spreading con- tagion and trouble wherever they go It is within our province to see that our legislature passes such laws as shall pro- tect us from outsiders as we'll as our selves.
 "The discussion of tuberculosis, both human and bovine, is fad just now and apparently not yet at its height. We ought to look at this matter wisely and conservatively and be willing and in the forefront to do all possible to stamp out this preventable plague, not only because 1t will pay us but because it is right. It will be better for us to do this ourselves than to have it done by health boards who some times act without much sense or reason in their endeavor to pass laws that are unwise or unjust to dairymen."
 I've have heard no one boasting of the riches of the Connecticut dairyman, as the first January, 1909 finds too few of us able to see a satisfactory balance on the right side of the ledger. We all dislike to be called pessimists, yet with the risk staring us in the face we dare to say that a small minority of men en- gagged in dairying in Connecticut in 1908 have made per cent. upon their stronger statement of the men produc. ing cream for the creameries or making milk that is sold at wholesale not % per cent have made a dollar the past season.
 Observation leads us to believe that about the only ones who have made good during the past year are the men who make and sell butter direct to the consumer and the men who produce the milk and likewise deal direct with the consumer.
 "The outlook upon dairying in Con- necticut is not all chapter of lamenta- tions. Here and there we find men who are making rapid progress"

Using Your Neighbors' Phone. (Michigan State Gazette

There are great many pretty nice people who would not think of borrow ing their neighbor money or good clothes. but who think nothing of run ming in" to use the telephone. The idea of intruding upon . mans castle and tracking up the wife's hall carpet with muddy feet never occurs to them as be- ing inconsiderate, yet it is just as much an imposition as anything can be. One man who felt that he was being inn posed upon drafted the following set of rules and had them neatly printed on a card which he posted conspicuously by the telephone. The rules were as fol- lows:
 This telephone is yours; we only pay the rent for It. "It is more blessed to give than to receive"
 Our meal hours are ' a. m., noon and 6p. m. Kin6y arrange to disturb us at meal times.
 If this phone is not in suitable pos ition we will have it altered.
 Long distance calls are our speciality. Kindly do not offer to settle.
 Loud and long conversations desired at all times, especially at midnight
 Make all the noise you can, in order to keep the baby awake. He has no right to sleep anyway.
 Please do not destroy the telephone directory. as it and the Bible are the only books we own.
 Do not hesitate to ring us up at mid night about anything. We stay awake for that purpose.
 The public telephone close by IS only bluff. Use this one always.
 These rules apply to every one except you
