Poe's Posthumous Fortune.

When Edgar Allan Poe wrote THE
Raven" which has been rated as one
of the greatest verses ever composed
by an American. he was in pressing
need of money. His wife was suffer
ing for lack of food. He took the poem
toa publisher in Philadelphia and urged
it's purchase, but it was declined, per-
haps with the usual thanks" He
then offered it to the editor of the
American Whig Review of New York,
and for 1t received the sum of $40,
which was mama to the luckless
poet. The manuscript of the poem
probably went the way of all printers
copy, into the bales of waste from
the publishing Office. After the poem
had become famous Poe, at the re-
quest of DR., Samuel A. Whitaker of
Philadelphia, a college companion,
made a perfect copy in his own fine
script and presented it to him. That
manuscript has been in the possession
of the Whitaker family ever since,
until the other day it was sold to n
Philadelphia bookseller and a New
York dealer in autographs. The pur-
chase price has not been stated, but
is reported to be close upon $50, 900.
At least the new owners value it at
| more than that amount. 1t is by far
the highest price ever paid for a Poe
rarity, which was $17,50o. brought by
script copy of "Tamerlaine.'
There is something inexpressibly
pitiful. about the posthumous prices
of the works of great artists. When
| Poe penned the presentation script OF
The Raven" for his Philadelphia
friend he probably placed no pecun.
larry value upon it. He was then, as
| always, needy. Had he known that
! eventually those four pages would
bring, let 1t be said $50, 900, he would
have been overwhelmed. To him such
sum would have been great for.

miserably. Yet probably from tina,
very condition came his greatest
work 1t was in that situation that
he developed his genius. Had he been
affluent. had he possessed the fortune
represented by this long-later price
paid for his penmanship, he might
not have expressed himself in prose

ments.
1t is pleasing for those who believe
in the COW and her infinite possibili-
ties to feel that not only more milk
is being sold, but that it is cleaner
milk, as a rule, and more free from
possibilities of any disease. Milk is,
in effect, the one food used by man
which Nature designated as food.
Wheat was meant for a plant. Meat
is the life blood of the creature from
which it is taken. Milk, with perhaps
two minor exceptions, the yellow of
egg and honey, is the sole food de-
signed by Nature for food purposes
and for nothing else.
The increased use Of milk is pleas.
ing, but much remains TO be done.
Not every person, of course, drinks
S5.3 gallons of milk per year. Many
drink no milk at all; and many chill
dren who ought To have milk do not
get it. The cow is doing her share.
Wholesome instruction must do the
rest.
