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."

He Meant It.
There is a politician now serving his

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.

Inside this unyielding a thick
band of hard, stiff leather,
with inner bands of flannel. Result,
compression of the blood ' ossein of the

About his neck In summer Is a turn
down collar, which is a high, stiff
fence of eight tlMcknesses of starched
linen. This tits closely, leaving him
unable to turn Ills head without great
effort Imbedded in this and tied in
front in a thick, uncomfortable bunch
is a tie of heavy cotton or silk, re-en
forced with linings of quilted canton
flannel.
Ills shirt has a stiff, unyielding front
of the tlrmness of a jv'est's breast
plate. This must be donned with dex
terity and worn with care lest it break
or bend. Ills waistcoat is made of
heavy woolen cloth, and in summer ho
wears one of henvier, thicker and
warmer duck or cheviot. This warmth
and thickness, however, are only in |
front, where nature has already pro- \
tected the lungs and heart. At his |
back, where protection is required \
against draft or chill, the waistcoat is j
of thin muslin.
Ills coat is built similarly, the fronts
being re-enforced with lapels of many !
linings.
About his waist he buckles a belt so j
tightly as to interfere with breathing j
and circulation, yet can rarely get it j
tight enough to achieve its own pur- j

For this reason he must wear sus- j
penders, which are i>robably the most
uncomfortable garment known.
He carries a stick which has no pre
tense to use or beauty.
lie has dozens of pockets into which
ho never puts anything.
He has buttons which button nothing
and buttonholes which are not to be
used.
He has strange Jewelry of clumsy In
tent. Great buttons of uncouth shape
must be thrust through stiffly starched
layers of linen. Collar buttons must
be lost and hunted for.
lie has rings on his fingers, pins in j
his scarf, chains across his breast, fobs
dangling from his pockets and studs j

No; he is the lord of creation!— Life.
MILLET'S POVERTY.
Incident In the Life of the Great
French Painter.
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?
After you have said you are sorry
