POEMS TELL
STORY Of 4
SAD LIFE
One Tells Of the love For a
True Wife; One Of the
Woman Unworthy.
MAN LEAVES NO
NOTE; POEMS ENOUGH

New York, Oct. 14-When they found
John Sturr dead from gas poisoning in
his room at No. 1912 Fulton avenue,
the Bronx, there was no note or letter
to tell why he had taken his own life.
But beside his body on the bed was a
tiny book containing POe's poem, The
Raven"
The cold fingers held the little vol
ume open at the stanza which, evidently.
he had been reading in his last mo-
ments. As the book of the poem closed
slowly In his weakening hands, the
book Of life closed also.
The stanza which he had been read
ing, and which perhaps he intended as
his own epitaph, was the celebrated
one which concludes with the lines;
Eagerly I wished the morrow; vainly
7 had tried to borrow
From my books surcease Of sorrOW-
sorrow for the lost LenOre-
For the rare and radiant maiden whom
the angels name LenOre-
Nameless here for evermore."
To those who had known the aged
lonely man these verses, with their
deep, vet delicate, sadn IS, typified the
better moods OF his life for the three
years that had nassed since the death
Of his beloved wife.
Harsh, Less Tender, Note
But over the page Of the little book
pressed between the leaves, was clip
ping Of another poem, which repre-
scented the other phase Of John Sturr's
This poem was KipIiug's harsh and
bitter thing. The Vampire which
begins:
"A fool there was. and he made his
prayer

eve call her the woman who did not
But the TOOL he called her his. lady fair
Gwen as You and D."
The two poems. in their strange COM
binatiOn, told almost the whole story.
John Sturr himself had never told it
all
Sought to Drown Sorrow.
He had loved his wife with chival-
rOus tenderness that never Waned She
had been the inspiration of his success,
and their mutual devotion was a max
i'm among their friends.
When she passed away. the main
spring Of Sturr's life seemed to snaD.

of all, the daughters went away
