As a Man soweth.

What an anomaly was Hardie. the
artist. and the man.
As an artist he was one of Brattle-
boro's celebrities. His talent attracted
attention at an carly age. and he was
given opportunity to study for years
under leading masters of this country
and Europe. In his early twenties his
pictures were receiving favorable mention
In the Salon in Paris, and in his early
thirtics he had won a name as one Of the
foremost portrait painters in America.
His career and the qualities which dis
tinguish his work are appreciatively re-
viewed in another column
But in his personal relations with his
fellow men, here in his home community,
what a memory he has left. We have
often heard of men who could not stand
prosperity, but have never known a more
striking instance of inability to stand
success than Hardie illustrated in his
career Praise not only turned his head,
but it apparently turned all his thoughts
upon himself lie assumed the role Of
the snobbish superior, and in his bearing
toward the friends Of his youth, from
whom he might easily have had esteem
and affection, he was the incarnation of
affectation, egotism and conceit. His
qualification Of expensive tastes while his
pecuniary obligations We're unmet was
only another form of self-elevation. FL
nally, personal appetite was given free
play to the point where he lost command
Of himself.
on the part Of those who remember the
attractive qualities of his youth. and the
promise OF his early manhood, there can
never be other than sincere regret that
he thus repelled the good will and ad-
miration that might have been his in full
measure. and SO has gone to his grave
leaving in memory only a feeling of cold =
ness and indifference
1t is not pleasant task to say these
things of one who is dead, but We may
find in the mistakes OF those who have
gone some guidance for those who re-
main. All men wish to be thought well
Of by other men. Hardie undoubtedly
had this wish. but he sought to attain
it by selhshly eXalting himself He
missed entirely the lesson in the beauti-
ful story OF Abou Ben Ahdem. that the
name Of him who loved his fellow men
led all the rest and that. in proportion
as man loves and esteems his fellow
men they in return will love and esteem
him.
