GREAT LOVE STORIES of HISTORY By Albert Pay son Terhune

Tasso and Leonora D'EsIe iCApyrigat, b tfc. Author.) A 21-year-old boy the idol of poetical Italy fell in love with a woman nine years older than himself. She was a princess; he a mere poet. He was destined to pay a terrible price for his presumption in daring to lose his heart to so exalted a personage. The young lover was Torquato Tasso, son of a brilliant, unfortunate Italian nobleman. Tasso was born in 1544, at an age wto?n Italy was rising far above mediaeval gloom to the glory of literary renown. He was a poet. As a mere child his genius drew upon him the wonder and admiration of every one. In early manhood he became an honored member of the suite of Duke Alfonso of Ferrara. He had already written poems that have become immortal ("Jerusalem Liberated" ia the foremost of them), and was the central figure of the gay court. Handsome, accomplished, attractive, he won all hearts. Alfonso, Tasso's patron, had a beautiful sister, Leonora D'Este. While she was much older than Tasso, her delight in poetry and her boundless admiration for his own writings quickly turned the The Poet and the Princess. young genius' head. Nor was she deaf to his suit. Apart for his personal attractions, the fact that half the women in Ferrara adored him and sought to win his favor helped to fan the princess' fancy into ardent love. Chroniclers of the time differ as to the exact course of the romance. Many of its incidents have been hushed up or denied. Here is one of the various versions: The duke, finding out at last that Tasso was seriously in love with Leonora, suspected that she had encouraged the poet. Fearing lest her brother's anger might fall upon the princess should this suspicion be verified, Tasso devised a daring course to draw the whole blame upon himself. He pretended to be insane in the hope that Alfonso might think the love for Leonora a part of his madness. This plan meant the ruin of Tasso's high position at court, but the poet neverthe less carried it out. He burst into senseless rages, quarreled noisily, tried to murder a servant, and in a dozen other ways led Alfonso to believe him a lunatic. The duke sent him to a monastery to recover his supposedly scattered wits. Tasso, disguised as a shepherd, escaped and fled to his sister at Sorrento, where, for the time, he was safe. But bis love for Leonora gave him no peace of mind. He could not live out of her sight. So back he came to Ferrara. By this time, however, Alfonso seems to have discovered the truth. Furious at the trick played upon him by Tasso's imposition and equally enraged that Leonora should stoop to lavish her royal affections on a poet, the duke plotted revenge. He dared not have A Scheme Tagg( t tQ of Revenge, death; for tne Italians worshiped the luckless author and would have resented his murder. So Alfonso had hint seized and carried to the madhouse of Saint Anna. There Tasso was locked in a cell and treated as a common lunatic. The affair was in this way effectually ended, for the poet was undergoing a living death and was shut off utterly from the outside world. It is not known that he ever again saw or beard from Leonora 'dEste. For seven long years Tasso was Imprisoned at Saint Anna. Then a powerful Italian prince secured his release. But it was too late. The man's wonderful brain was affected by the confinement and horrors of the madhouse. He became a wanderer on the face of the earth. A dozen courts were open to him. Everywhere he would have been received as an honored guest. But he wandered desolately from place to place in lonely poverty. His health was gone; his genius was fading. At last the pope sent for him to come to Rome, there to be crowned poet laureate and receive a large pension. It was a dazzling reward for his life work. Tasso hurried to Rome to accept this honor. There, before the crown or the pension could be bestowed, the wretched wanderer fell ill and died. Sunstroke. In nine cases out of ten sunstroke or heat stroke simply means fainting, fainting caused by sun or air heat acting on one whose resistance has been lowered by disease, drunkenness or fashionable dressing. It starts with a giddy feeling, he may stagger and then he falls, is pale, pulse small, weak and fluttery. breathing soft and sighing, skin cold and clammy, he is partly or wholly unconscious. Usually he recovers without treatment In a few hours with splitting headache and great weakness, but some cases fall directly from fainting Into death from heart failure. New Plan for Fighting Mosquito. Dr. William Tell Kudlich has brought to the notice of the health board of Hoboken, N. J., a plan for exterminating the mosquito, which consists in planting mosquito-infested tracts with arzolla. The plant is a native of Africa. In a short time it covers marshy land with a layer three inches thick, thus both suffocating mosquito larvae and preventing the living insects from depositing their eggs in the water. Good old fashioned cakes are made from Mrs. Austin's Buckwheat flour. Now at your grocers. After January 1st, 1910, this bank will pay 3cl interest j on certificates of deposit.

CAUGHT RED-HANDED Any one caught red-handed in this city at this time of the year will have no difficulty in escaping through the use of a little poslam. which, when applied to the hands, acts just as it does on the complexion, clearing the skin over night and making short work of pimples, rash, redness, roughness, split skin, blotches, etc. Besides this, poslam stops all itching with the first application and cures the worst cases cf eczema as well as acne, herpes, tetter, piles, salt rheum, rash, crusted humors, scaly scalp and every form of itch, including barber's itch and itching feet. Blemishes such as pimples, red noses, muddy and inflamed 6kin disappear almost immediately when poslam is applied, the complexion being cleared over night. Every druggist keeps both the 50cent size (for minor troubles) and the $2 jar and either of these may be obtained at W. H. Sudhoff's as well as ether reliable drug stores. But no one is even asked to purchase poslam without first obtaining a sample package which will be sent

GIVES HIS PARENTS $5,000 Indianapolis, Dec. 28 From Nashville, the seat of Brown county, a county yet untouched by a railroad, last night came the story of the return to his parents, in the lonely hill country, of John Frenshaw, whom the old folks had not seen or heard from for 20 years and who brought back to them not only their lost son, but also a Christmas present of $5,000. John Frenshaw was 12 years old when he quarreled with his father and ran away. He walked to Indianapolis in three days. He wandered to St. Louis and at length found work in a shop. For seven years he saved his money and then he ventured to the gold fields of Alaska, the bonanza land. He became rich. In the storm of wind and snow that raged about the old house on the Fren- i shaw farm Christmas night the elder Frenshaw was awakened by a pound-i ing on the door. j "I am cold and hungry," said a I voice outside, "can't you take me for) tho Titrhf" The old man let the stranger In and the wife prepared a meal for him. He talked for half an hour of his travels before he exclaimed: "Father, don't you know me?" The mother clasped him in her arms. Before the reunited family retired, Frenshaw gave his father and mother a check for $5,000.
