TRAGEDY IN PoE'S BoYHooD.
The Richmond Theater Fire Followed
Close Upon His Mothers Death.

Two weeks and two days later, af-
ter Mrs. Poe had been laid to rest IN
now unknown grave in one of the
beautiful Richmond cemeteries, the
Broad Street Theater, where Mr. Pla-
cide's gay little company of Virgin
comedians had so merrily pranced
and capered, was consumed in the uw-
full conflagration of Christmas Eve,
1911, in which the governor of Nir-
ginia and sixty other persons of high
social distinction perished; and from
its ashes rose the monumental church
in memory of the tragic event. The
tragedy quoted in the "Conqueror
Worm" could not have been more
sudden and terrible.
Can the exquisite yet awful imagery
of this poem, full as it is of theater
memories mines, puppets, shifting
scenery, funeral curtains, phantom
forms-have twined itself somehow
about the memory of his mother in
connection with the burning of the
Richmond Theater, about which all
Virginia never ceased to talk for half
a century, and which sent a thrill of
horror all over the United States. Lit
tie Edgar must often have heard it
discussed. and must have watched the
memorial church as it slowly rose out
of the grave of the theater where his
mother had charmed the Richmond
audiences with her beauty and grace
so many times long before.-Harri-
son; Life and Letters of Poe

lips were too thin; she looked 100
tired. All the commonplaceness OF
a wife and mother attached itself
TO her She was the average married
woman-the average American wom-
an who has a husband and chill
dren. She carried the last born IN
thee rok of her tired arm, into
which it semed to fit as if her arm
had been made for it. Fanshawe
had vague impression of other
children about. He thought he saw
Wallace greet one of them-a little
boy-and perhaps others, just before
they all sat down to dinner.
Mrs. Wallace was bringing the
things in from the kitchen herself.
She managed pretty well in such a
small, stuffy little place and wore
very clean white apron which re
minded him of his own mother.
My, my, it's a great treat to
get home dinner he exclaimed
generously, but he covertly drew
wry face as he noticed that the
first course of the meal consisted
of the roast and the vegetable.
All in all, Fanshawe was glad when
the dinner was over. He knew very
little of topics of conversation with
which one could interest the average
American housewife. Politics, dam
projects, and investments would
hardly do and as usual in the pres
ence of women he questioned his
own sense of humor and was obliged
to proceed cautiously. What he had
said on one or two occasions when
dining out in New York had not
ben received enthusiastically. There
fore he now kept along the way of
the ordinary question and answer
form of conversation and let his
self-assertiveness exhibit itself only
in the size of his voice The cramp-
ed little dining room was filled by
it and it rang on the vestiges of
cut-glass wedding presents which
were displayed on the sideboard.
There was something of a relief
when Wallace, who had been Sc
rious and thoughtful during the meal
suggested that they go together into
the sittingroom TO smoke.
I have real cigar here" eX
planned the chief of Water Shed and
Forest Drainage, fumIbling in a box
full. BY his remark one might have
supposed that the rest were only
limitations. He offered it to Fan
Shave with kindly beam in mis-
eyes. I've been saving it for just
such an occasion, Harry" Fanshawe
rolled the weed in his stocky fin
gers. 1t cracked dryly. Great Heav.
ens.' he thought, "he hasn't smoked
it himself. He's been economizing his
hospitality. He's been saving it up
for somebody to entertain with it,"
He put the cigar in his mouth,
allowed Wallace to reach forward
a lighted match, puffed out the
smoke and glanced about.

ductor of the Northwestern train and

the plaintiffs railway ticket. Mr.. Mertz
was ON his way to Audubon TO which
point he had purchased q ticket, but
the conductor commended that the ticket
presented was from Manning to Gray
and would not let Mr.. Mertz go any
further until he had paid his railroad
fare to Audubon. Mr.. Mertz claimed
he had ticket that called for passage
to Audubon and would not pay another
cent After a short argument the con.
ductor requested Mr. Mertz to leave the
train. Upon theurgent and insistent
demands of the trainmen, Mr.. Mertz fl
nally left the train sst Gray. This great
ly angered and provoked Col. Mertz
who was coming " Audubon to con-
duct an important public sale. He was
compelled to secusA.Apgne other means
of conveyance. MS 10 did. but at con-
siderable annoyance and inconvenience
to himself and to his friends.
Col. Mertz felt that he had been per-
sonally injured and was entitled to
damages from a company and corpora
ton who cared not for his dignity nor
his profession. Evidence produced at
the trial bore out the Col. in his claims,
for the jury, after being out only three
hours brought in verdict for the plain
tiff in the sum of $305.50 The plaintiff
was ably represented by Mantz g. White
and J. M. Graham, promising and wide
awake attorneys of Audubon. The c..

from Des Moines in the person of A. A.
