the workers who received 1t to let us
know what they thought about it and
whether they used it or not. We re-

Of her wealth as a means to accomplish his
lifelong ambition, that of owning a magazine,
which, by the way, he had prematurely called
the Penn Magazine and which he intended to
publish IN Philadelphia. His almost equal
desire at the same time to marry two other
ladies Of comfortable livelihood has been proved
by documents to that effect. They tell Of the
refusal Of Mrs Whitman, a widow of PrOvi-
dence, r. l., and that Of Annie Richmond Of
Lowell, Mass. Perhaps the gruesome and un-
psychological spot for the proposal to Miss
Richmond reacted in q refusal. For, in true
Poe fashion, this highly unconventional swain
picked q cemetery as the setting for his great
moment. At any rate the lady is immortali7ed
in his Poem for Annie
81 don't want to detach too much from his
feelings for his various amours," continued Mr..
Gimbel. "At IA Poe deeply loved Sarah
Royster, but her family, realizing his inSta-
bility, hurried her OF to Europe. He went to
West Point at this time and when he returned
she was married. OF course, his marriage to
the 13-year-old Virginia GLENN stands out to
most persons as the highlight Of his romantic
career but real knowledge Of the reason for
this marriage is disillusioning from the stand
point of the all-possessing love for Virginia
GLENN which is generally attributed to him.
zone must know the true psychology Of
Poe's nature to understand why he married
Virginia Clemm," continued Mr. Gimbel
thoughtfully. Gratitude was one of his out
standing qualities, as shown in many instances
of his life At the age of 2-the son Of long
line Of Poes, originating in italy on the
River Pc, migrating to Scotland and then to
America, and Of the beautiful and talented
actress, Mrs. Hopkins-Edgar Poe was or
phaned and adopted by wealthy merchant
of Richmond, John Allan. For a short span
Poe's life was ilumined by the warmth of the
love Of his foster parents and the irresponsible
Joy Of all sorts Of luxuries The Allan fortunes,
however, f1uctuated considerably, and Edgar
Allan Poe lived in n few wears fhr0l1Oh the
vicisstudes Of fortune and poverty. The con-
stantly sympathetic attitude of his foster
mother was cOunteracted by the later harsh
judgments of his foster-father, and at II he
decided to 60 on his own. At 49, after a year
OF near-starvation, he went on q cattle boat to
Europe. Upon his return he discovered an
aunt, Mrs. GLENN, in Baltimore, who became
his only real friend. At that time Virginia
was IS. His aunt had faith in his ability, and
with her modest resources financed him
through all his hardshipS. Poe bad nothing to
give in return, and In . spirit of genuine

gratitude gave himself to the beautiful child,
Virginia. The great love for Virginia, which is
attributed as the reason for his marriage, de-
veloped with her ripening years, but was ruth
lessly cut of by her untimely DEATH after five
years of horrible suffering. In 1912, while Vir-
ginia was singing In the old Poe house in
Philadelphia, she ruptured a blood vessel,
which almost proved fatal After Vrginia'S
hemorrhage he wrote The Masque Of the Red
Death After several years of abstinence from
drink, Poe, a crushed man. took to liquor, and
In 1874 shattered and crumbling Poe
moved to New York, where he took his wife.
Poe claimed he suffered q thousand deaths
from the time Of his wifes illness until her
demise in 1847. He later sent for his mother
in-law with the proceeds of The Balloon
Hoax From then until his death in 1849 he
tells in moments of sanity Of his hours of
delirium.
GONE Of the most interesting highlights on
Poe's life I have discovered only re-
Gently" added Mr.. Gimbel, with the animation
Of the successful collector. Poe was supposed
to have made three mysterious trips to Europe
but no one seemed to have positive proof of
these. I always felt he must have lived in
Paris at some time, to have wildly caught
the atmosphere in his French mystery stories
They were written In Philadelphia in the Poe
house, but Murders in the Rue Morgue' and
The Mystery of Marie Roget TEEN with
Partisan color. Whether Poe had ever been in
Paris was a matter of conjecture until year
ago, when I discovered Dumas manuscript
sold In Paris telling of Poe's adventures there
with Dumas during the Summer of 1892
These escapades were the foundations of his
French mystery stories.
People so often ask" he continued, why
Poe wrote only short stories. The answer is an
interesting sidelight on the lack Of international
copyright at that time. The American pub
Usher could publish a foreign novel with no
copyright expense attached, so that it didn't
pay the author to write more than a short story
for which he could ask as much. In 1912
Dickens, millionaire at 80. came lecture
tour to America. He wanted an international
copyright, which would enhance the value of his
books in this country. big dinner was given
in his honor, to which were invited the recog-
nized literary lights of the country. Poe was
absent for want of an invitation. Some time
before this Dickens had written 'Barnaby
Rudge,' in serial form. Poe read three in
stallrnents of this masterpiece and uncannily
figured out the ending. Some one wrote Poe's

Ordinance Amended to Be

Is Taken.

Steps toward keeping the taxi
cab business out of politics were
taken by the city council Wednes-
day night when it struck from the
proposed ordinance regulating cabs
the provision requiring the board OF
safety and council to approve new
companies.
Under a convenience and ne
cessity clause, the ordinance as
originally drafted would have al
lowed the board of safety and city
council, after public hearing, to
determine whether there was justi-
f1cation for organizing new taxicab
companies.
A score Of other changes were
made in the ordinance by the coun-
cilmen meeting in a committee of
the whole. Several provisions,
branded as a waste of printers ink
by one group of taxicab operators,
were eliminated.
The measure viii be redrafted by
HERBERT M. spencer, assistant city
attorney, and presented for pass
age at the next council meeting
April 6.
One method of controlling organ

Nearly all my life I suffered
from indigestion, but owing to nv
rugged constitution, 1 kept going
until few months ago. Then even
water caused gas and bloating and
I dreaded mealtime. My kidneys
became weak and bladder actions
very frequent. Back pains began
to trouble me and my limbs and
feet became swollen. Constipation
and sluggish liver added TO my
misery.
Il began taking Konjola and my
health improved from the begin

heartily without distress, my kid
neys have cleared up and I am free
from back pains and the necessity
of night rising. The swelling and
pain have left my limbs, and my

strength and am in wonderful
health today"
Such a statement should carry
