THE COUNTRY in WHICH i LIVE.

I live two miles west Of Eldon. a
few rods from the Rock Island rail-
Dad, about the same from the Better
ton school house and one miles north
of the Des Moines river. The part Of
the country that live in will de-

which grows fine crops of corn, oats
wheat, timothy and other grain and
the vegetables are large and plentiful.
This country has a lot of. coal and
some have coal mines which all the
farmers get their coal from. There il
also lot of timber which keeps the
wind from being so strong and cold.
We live in the Des Moines river val

EDGAR ALLEN POE.

Among the geniuses Of literature
there are few names whose history is
SO completely dark and sad as that OF
Edgar Allen Poe, the author Of s:The
Raven" and THE Bells" He was born
in Baltimore in 1909. His parents were
aWfully poor His mother died in Rich
mond in 1911 and left her three little
children in the care Of the public.
Edgar, who was a beautiful and
|precocious child, was adopted by Mrs.
John Allan, by whom he was brought
up In luxury, and he was an excellent
scholar. He entered the university Of
Virginia when he was seventeen years
of age and formed the habit Of drink
ing which wrecked his whole life.
Europe and became editor Of the first
Southern Literary Messenger. and aft
erwards of the Gentleman's ma gazine
and Graham's magazine. He married
his cousin Virginia GLENN, when she
was but fourteen years of age, and
the two with sVirginia's, mother, led a
life of the deepest poverty for ten
years until his wife's death. His mar
riage. rash as it seems, was one of the
best things in Poe's life. He was a kind
and devoted husband and his wife re-
paid him with little sort of worship.
But Edgar could never rid himself of
the awful drink Poe was a fine reader
and elocutionist. "A writer who at
tended two lectures by him in Rich
mond said: II never heard a voice so
musical as his. Twas full of the
he recited Hoods Bridge of Sighs."
Poe died in Baltimore in 1S49. ...

They put up their lunches and started

Then they sat down in the shade and
talked until dinner time. For dinner
they had bread, butter, crackers with
peanut butter on them, chicken, cake.

with confusion. Sc had given vent to
half exclamation as ooh, Kath--''
Then had turned her attention to the
accident she was Responsible for.
Excuse me, Miss she said half
under her breath as she removed the
salad from the table cloth. And as
she hurried away, tray on. arm, toward
her, then said to her little hostess:
What strange voice your maid has
for girl! I've surely heard it be-
fore. Have you had her long?"
And SO the tea passed, and no one
could have found any fault with Han
nah's work save for the one little &C
cident with the salad. And that was
so trifling that Gertie had forgotten 1t
almost as soon as it happened. But
when the party was over and the girls
were assembled in the hall, prepare
tory to bidding their hostess good-by,
the maid came walking down the
stairs. and stepped right into their
midst. Excuse me young ladies, .
said Hannah, suddenly, and then
before their very eyes the new maid
removed from her head the lace frilled
cap and with It q blond wig.
81 And then, lifting from her eyes a

powder from her face, stood before
them-not girl, but-Tom!
After the excitement, the laughter
and the EXPLANATIONS of surprise had
subsidized, Mrs. James said: well.

your maid, Hannah, all the time. She
seemed to be masquerading, somehow.
But-why did you do 1t, you darling

grinned about him. while the girls

Spreads an even white carpet
Over country and town.

On the hillside at play,
While their snowsleds a-running
On the eve Of each day.
There's little and big

At their health-giving play;
