V PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, JUNE 6, 1933. Torrid Love Letters of Famous Men Long Dead Bared to Gaze of Public By DALE HARRISON. . NEW YORK, June a. (AP) Love lettera of immortals went Into the showcase today bo that the ' public might read the hearts of dead men. In an exhibition ol amatory epla tle placed on display by the Roaen bach company the passions of Benja min Franklin, Nathan Hale, Lord Nel son and many others are bared. Lord Nelson wrote to his "Dearest Emma," stating he would "rejoice, my Emma, to have you In my arms when I need not envy a king." James Bos well, wbo wrote a 'rile of Johnson" and lived a life of Lothario, was rep resented with an epistle Indited to 'My Dearest Life." Thomas Jefferson Is shown In one letter to have Ideas of his own on marriage. To his friend, William Fleming, he wrote: "You say you are determined to be married as soon as possible and advise me to .do the aame. No thank ye!" Benjamin Franklin, sometimes called "the first civilised American," wrote to Madame Brlllon: 'I had not the happiness, my dear friend, to see you on tsday evening, because my borses were at Paris with the young man, and I have neither feet nor wings. If I had wings, I think I should have flown to you, and I think X should sometimes scratch on the window of your bedchamber. It la very mischievous of nature to deny us the advantages that she wastes so profusely on all the little good-for-nothing blrda and flies." One of the most torrid of the love letters on exhibition Is that of Con stance Lloyd to Oscar Wilde: "My Darling Love You take my atrength away, I have no power to do anything but Just love you when you are with me. Every mo ment you are with me I worship you more, my whole life Is yours ... Do you believe that I love you most pas- slonately with all the atrength of my heart and mind . . . And when I have you for. my husband I will hold you fast with chains of love and devotion so that you ehall never leave me, or love anyone as long as I can love and comfort." Most fascinating of all la a letter of Edgar Allen Foe to a friend, a let. ter reciting a love deep, moving and tragic. The letter tells of the recur ring Illnesses of "a wife whom I loved as no man ever loved before." With each recurring attack of her Illness he "felt ill the sgonles of her deatn and at each aocesslon of the dis order I loved her more dearly and clung to her life with more desperate pertinacity ... I became Insane with long intervals of horrible sanity. Dur ing these fits of absolute uncon sclousness I drank, Ood only knows how often or how much. As a mat ter of fact my enemlea referred the Insanity to the drink, rather than tne drink to the Insanity. I had, Inneea, nearly abandoned all hope of s per manent cure when I found one in the death of my wife. This I can and do endure as a man It was the horrible never-ending oscillation be tween hope and despair which I could not longer have endured without total loss of reason. In the death of what was my life, then, X received a new but oh, Ood, how melancholy exist ence!" FLOWER DISPLAY AT (Continued rrom Page One) many opportunities for exchange of plants and gaining of knowledge re garding flower culture, a chanoe to Join the club will be extended all per sons attending the show, which will continue through Thursday.

SSJfi Armor your cows against flies with Jfe A twitching, rurvoui, tortured; fly-stung cow gives less milk lhaa a placid and contented one. Here is the surest and easiest way to kill and repel these biting, blood sucking robbers of milk profits- K-O sprayed every day before milk ing kills tho files on the cows and gives each cow a protecting armor of K-0 before going out to pasture. Cows protected against flies feed normally and keep up their regular milk production. When sprayed on cows the new K-0 forms a protec tive film on the hair that repels flies and keeps them from lighting on and biting the cows. . We Sett the Ntw Knpx-Out Monarch Seed & Feed Co.
