of the poet's family, all of whom were indebted
to charity for a last resting place.

His father, David Poe, died in Norfolk in the summer of 1811. His grave
is unknown.

His mother was buried by charity in Richmond, December 9, 1811.

His wife was indebted for a grave near Fordham, in New York, to
charitable contributions of friends.

His sister, Rosalie Mackenzie Poe, died July 14, 1874, and was given a
pauper's grave in the cemetery of the Epiphany Church Home, in
Washington.

Mrs. Clemm, his mother-in-law, died an inmate of the Church Home
Infirmary, Baltimore, and was buried by the charity of friends in
Westminster churchyard of that city in 1871.

Poe himself, whose last days were passed in a charitable institute, was
indebted to relatives for a grave.

Truly a record unparalleled in the annals of Literary History.

BOOKS YOU MUST READ

SOONER OR LATER

_Reuben: His Book_

BY MORTON H. PEMBERTON.

Cloth, Gilt lettering, 12mo. Postpaid, $1.00. Portrait in Colors.

One of the funniest, cleverest, uniquest volumes of the day, it has won
spontaneous and unanimous approval from reviewers the country over.

Just hear what a few of them say:

CHAMP CLARK.--"I haven't laughed so much since I first read Mark Twain's
'Roughing It.'"

GLOBE-DEMOCRAT.--"This little book has the merit of brevity, variety and
humor. It is safe to say that the book will have many readers and that
it will afford much amusement."

ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC.--"The book is already heading the list of 'best
sellers,' and deserves to go. It is GOOD. It is the sort of thing which
might move the provincial journalist to say, 'Reub, here's our hand.'"

_A Scarlet Repentance_

BY ARCHIE BELL.

Cloth, 12mo. Price, $1.00.

One Review: "The history of one night and one day's flaming passion
between a beautiful Italian woman and a handsome youth--strangers--who
meet upon a Pullman car. There comes into the story all the elementary
passions, hatred, jealousy, desire and--sorrow.

"It is a story that will appeal to those who prefer novels in which
red blood is throbbing madly. It is not for prudes, nor for parsons,
nor poseurs. It's a book for men and women who have lived."--The
Club-Fellow.
