POE DENIES DRUNKENNESS
Remarkable Letter Written by Bril- liant Writer Brings $1,70O at
 Hoe Sale.

NEW YORK. May 4. - One of the most notable features of this week s sessions at the Hoe sale was an au- tOgraphed letter of Edgar Allan Poe which brought s1,100 The letter is dated February 10, 1S4S. and has never before been published, it is said. In it Poe says in reply to the assertion that his habits were shock ingly irregular.
 The fact is this: My habits are vigorously abstemious and I omit nothing of the natural regimen for health. I rise early, eat moderately drink nothing but water. and take abundant and regular exercise in the open air. But this is my private life and of course. escapes the eye of the world.
 ''The desire for society comes upon me only when I have become excited by drink. Then only go that is at these times only have been in the practice of going been in the practice of going among my friends, who seldom, or in fact never having seen me unless excited. take it for granted that l am always so. Those who really know me. know better.'
 The letter should make change in the work of future biOgraphers of Poe, as it gives his own explana- tion of the charge of drunken habits made against him.

After the leaves are out the
following spring, the egg matches
and the young larva comes out.
1t is small dirty white worm with
few hairs, and begins feeding on
the young leaves. When they are
numerous they even cut the young
twigs, and they haye been known
to eat the old leaves, completely
stripping a tree of its foliage.
About September, this worm
attains it full growth, when it falls
to the ground or climbs down and
buries itself in the ground to a
depth of one half to an inch. In
the ground it spins cocoon. This
cocoon is very tight and impervious
to water. From this cocoon the
saw-fy imerges about June, thus
completing the cycle.
Now about the origin of the in
sect.-The Larch saw-fy is a
European pest. It was introduced
in Maine a few years ago. 1t
gradually worked west. In New
York State it received a good deal
of attention as long as Larch was
of commercial value, but has since
been dropped. In Michigan it has
received great deal of attention
The saw-fly, as near as can
learn; was noticed on the Superior
for the first time, last season.
This marks its western limit. Up
to this time no remedy was known.
The entomologists at Washington
have been working on a parasite
from Europe, the natural enemy
of this fly. In June, 1911, a large
consignment was sent to Professor
R. Polite of the Michigan Agric.
College which he has introduced in
the Tamarack swamp of the upper
peninsula of Michigan. The
question now is whether the
parasite can stand the cold of these
northern winters. Let us hope
that it will. :"

At the meeting of the council on
Wednesday night last there was a
petition presented by Jos. Brocco,
on which there were ESQ names.
The import of which was the re-
consideration by the council of
their action in regard to granting
license in the village. The petition
was signed by every business man
in Ely, and following were those
that are residents and living around
Ely and working in the mines.
The intention, or the effect sought
to be attained by the signers was
not especially to petition for more
saloons, but that those that are
already in the business should not
have monopoly of the business,
and further that the council in
using their discussion as to grant
ing the petition of those desiring to
start saloons in the village should
be rejected for cause shown and q
legal cause and that their actions
be not arbitrary and discreet.
