STEDMMTHE POET. Anecdotes Told About the Bank er and Man of Letters. INCIDENT OF HIS EARLY DAYS. Adventure With Mint Julep While Visiting ■ Southern Family—Blessing He Invoked at Dinner In Absence of a Minister—Odd Experience In France Few who are familiar with the con ventional severity of Edmund Clarence Stedmnn, the banker, poet, critic, lit terateur and man of letters, who died recently in New York, would imag ine that the faculty of Yale onct found It necessary to "rusticate" him, eays the New York Press. Remorse for his youthful depravity seemed not to have lmbittered him, however, for he told with reminiscent glee of his adven tures In that memorable time of his withdrawal from his alma mater. To fill the leisure thus Imposed on him he took a trip to the south, a region with whose so-ial customs he was largely unfamiliar, to visit a chum. On the first morning of his stay as he arose to dress he was surprised by the entrance of an old darky, who brought in a large pitcher containing a liquid of strange but seductive odor. "Mars' Tom," the aged servitor ex plained, "he reckoned Uat Mars' Ed mund might want some mint julep be foh breakfas'," with which invitation he set his burden on the table and with drew. Mr. Stedman was prepared for any household ceremonial which might be In order, lie took an inquiring sip. The drink was delicious, and only the quantity seemed appalling. As he pro ceeded with the operation of dressing, however, he frequently recurred to it It was a large pitcher, and it was pret ty full, but gradually there came over him a sense of the duty Imposed on him and an appreciation of the fact that the reputation of the north was at stake. lie found each sip more refreshing than the last, however, and as he saw the bottom of the pitcher he became convinced that no form of hospitality could be more pleasant and no social and family customs more delightful than those found in the southern home. As he finished his toilet with growing difficulty the darky again made his ap pearance. He gazed at the empty pitcher, then the visitor, then at the p'tcher and at the visitor once more, with rolling eyes and departed with shaking shoulders. Somewhat mystified, yet happy, Mr. Stedman descended to breakfast with a surprising sense of difficulty in nav igation. As he steered to his place the family—a large one, containing several girls—looked at him *'ith glances star tled, amused, horrified. The meal and the remainder of the day, which he passed in close retire ment, he confessed, remain as n vague dream in his mind. It was not until a few days later that he discovered he had consumed the entire family's morn ing allowance of mint Julep, which, ac cording to the southern custom, had been carried first to the guest. When Mr. Stedman was visiting in New England a few years ago he was called upon by the head of the house while at dinner to invoke tho divine blessing, says the Boston Herald. "I was rather surprised and for half a minute sorely tempted," said Mr. Stedman in relating the incident; "then I rose to the occasion and asked a grace which I remembered." "But, Mr. Stedman," demanded the young woman of the party eagerly, "what were you sorely tempted to do?" "As Charles Lamb did under similar circumstances. lie looked about the beard and asked in surprise, 'ls there no clergyman present?' The hostess shook her head. Then Lamb prayed, 'For this and all other mercies, O Lord, make us truly thankful.' " While on a visit to France Mr. Sted man stopped one day on a country road to admire the surrouuding coun try. says Harper's Weekly. As lit stood gazing meditatively over the fields he noticed that several peasants who passed him on the road boweo and took off their hats to him. Mr. Stedman was at first surprised at their salutes In his honor and won dered for whom these polite peasants mistook him, but as they were repeat ed by peasant after peasant he finally concluded that his reputation had peu etrated farther than he Lad ventures to suppose. As he moved away frou the spot he happened to glance behlm: him. He had been standing in fronl of a statue of the Virgin. Time did not diminish the dislikf Edmund Clarence Stedmau felt for th« designation "banker-poet," says tht New York Mail. It was hurled at him one night when he was present at a banquet to a friend whose Ideals, likt his own, have always been two dec ades In advance of his age, and, st the story goes, he was provoked to ob serve in his genial manner: "Call me banker if you will and poel If you must, but a banker-poet has nc scientific position. The terms are mu tually exclusive, except on the prinei pie that a right hand knows not whal a left doeth—a happy anomaly existing only in benevolent imagination." A Ball of Green. Grass seed or flax seed sprinkled on a wet sponge and occasionally mois tened, hung up by a string in the win dow. lu a few weeks will make a bal of green. He Meant It. There is a politician now serving his state in congress who is well known for his disinclination to admit that he Is 111, as well as for his circumlocutory method of expression. One day a friend asked nfter the great man's health. "Thomas," said the representative cautiously, "I am not well, but I am better than 1 was when 1 was worse thau I now am."—Llpplnoott'B.

It seems almost incredible that Mil ; let, painter of"The Angelus" and oth-1 er now world famous pictures, should have suffered from the poverty that I forms the basis of the following story, but it is a fact that he did: One day, I Indeed, he found himself without food in the house for himself and his fam ily. In his extremity l>iaz offered to 1 take two of Millet's drawings to Paris and make an effort to sell them. Even ing came, the Millet family anxiously awaiting their friend's return, if he ! ( came back without the drawings it meant bread; with them, hungry to bed. Night fell, the family sitting in j darkness because they felt they could not afford a light. At last they heard the stamping of Diaz's wooden leg as he crossed ttie little paved court and his lusty voice calling out: "Light! Light! Where is the light?" The family hurried to light , a candle. But even while the head of j the old fashioned sulphur match still was spluttering Diaz, who was a Span- > lard and nothing if not tempernmen- , tal, slapped down two loaves of bread on the table, one after another, in : quick succession. When at laßt the candle was burning he drew out 00 francs in gold, all save one piece, : which he had been obliged to change j in buying the bread. He arranged the , gold pieces in a Circle like a halo < around the candle, ending with the 1 change, of which he made a neat pile. "Ah," sighed Millet as he regarded the unhoped for treasure, "If only I could count on a sum like this every l week!" • "Would you tnrn capitalist?" re proachfully asked Diaz. If to suffer is a spur to genius. Is ft a wonder that these Barbizon men were great painters?
