CONTRADICTIONS SEEN IN MAN.
Shady Walks Of Lite Often Parallel
Paths Of Higher Aims.

Ny old friend ]. w. Edmonds says:
Does 1t seem strange to you that the
shady walks of life should 50 often run
parallel with the path Of higher aims,
such a. art. literature and the like?
Here We have Paddy the Pig with a
posthumous gliding of a reputed love
Of flowers and poetry! As to this dual
instinct. we have as an authority of
appeal Bret Harte. who recognized the
existence of such a peculiar human
trait in his portrayal Of the characters
OF Jack Hamlin and John bathurst.
Then we have the Hon. Dick Garfield
As . living example. What's the secret
of nature In this respect? My own
theory IL that men of normal mold,
whose occupations force them steadily
into one groove. must seek their d.
versions In q Numerically opposite
channel"
Edmonds touches a soft spot The
Wicked Gibbs was . lover Of art.
and much appreciated by J. Pierpont
Morgan. Edmund Clarence Stedman
was q poet and q banker. He was an
lmitator of Samuel Rogers. the original
mixer Of finance and pOesy. Rogers
was a millionaire banker-a very
CrOesus. He could draw unlimited
checks alike on the Bank of England
and on the treasury of the Muses.. At
the same time. Rogers was the ugliest
man in England His home was such
a palace Of arts as Morgan would envy.
and try to improve on. and the only
ungainly thing in 1t was Rogers him,
self. Morgan never laid claim to beau
ty. He is richer than Rogers was.
and his art collection will be the
grandest on earth II he lives ten years
longer.
Rogers most priced possessions were
two small pieces of paper in gold
frames. One of them was q Bank Of
England note for 21.OOO.OO0 ($5.OOO.
OOO). and the other the original re
ceipt of John Milton for E5 ($25). the
sum he received for the copyright of
Paradise Lost" from Simmonds. the
bookseller. The bank note was one
Of the only four which were ever
struck from a plate that was after
