POE.
The True Tie70 of HIS Ms
fortunes.

\ vigorous defence of Poe against the
besmirching of those who dwell upon his
drinking and his debts is made in The
Dial" by Nr. Charles Leonard Moore.
IF we are going 10 rule out Of the House
Of Fame" he says. "all the men who
have drunk too much. the ranks of the
Immortals will be sadly thinned." He
thinks that Poe in the quantity and
quality of his work paid the world quite
all the debts he owed IT, so that the mat
ter does not seem TO concern the world
at all. 1t did concern the two persons
whom Poe loved and protected. but they
do not seem 10 have minded his slight

worship such as few men have won 1t

lection. IL was no drunkard who did

Referring To the charge that in the
failure Of his desperate industry TO pro-
vide for his family he borrowed n few
small sums which remained unpaid at
his death" Mr. Moore says that Poe may
possibly have owed three or four nun
dred dollars. and he adds: Goldsmith
owed two or three thousand pounds.
yet he is the best beloved OF English
writer's Sir Walter Scott died owing
thirty or forty thousand pounds; yet
no one has ever impeached his honor

Moore expresses his opinion Of Poe's en-
