Confession of Guilt"
Whether the statement Is true or not.
IL would seem probable, as both men

His List Of Aphorisms.

other aphorisms which Mr.. Goldsbor-

were returned TO him, include:
.Virtue-A bird of passage which mi
crates spasmodically.
Life is q gas in which the breaths OF
pain and pleasure mingie.
Sometimes one meets q man OF whom
We inStinctively say that he Is an orl8lnal
rather than original.
america is q land OF very small prob
abilities. vast possibilities ana limitless
impossibilities. -,
There is q big purse In every shroud-
for the undertaken.
Some violinists play too suavely; one
longs to hear their Muse grit her teeth.
ut is wise to predict q great future
for an artist-after that future has been
foreshadowed by great present.
THE more technique q musician has the
harder 1t is for him to lose 1t and the
harder he must work in order to keep 1t.
"Freakishness Is the eccentricity Of
nsdiocrity: originality. that OF genius.
There is one vice. selfishness; one viz
tue, love"
Wrote of Literary Vampire"
There are many separate entries in the
diary, with no mention Of Phillips, which
appear to be notes and suggestions con-
corning verses and articles which Colds
borough sent to the magazines. Under
q subhead entitled Data for Vampire"
he wrote:
ITO create characters with real blood
in their veins. Beyond the power OF
many writer's Much easier to take them
from real life-to utilize their actual flesh
and blood by the easy. distinguished,
lsgalized and lucrative method of literary
vampirism."
He also attempted a number OF cpl
grams, among them the following:
Bliss is an eneryescence, joy flood.
Happiness Is gplden.E 80 bes
1T IL often good policy TO let some one
who thinks he Is a thinker believe that
you share his opinion.
"It takes common sense ID make the
uncommon dollar.
Some people apparently cannot dis
tinguish between the law OF suggestion
and that of suggestiyeness-'
Sample OF Verses.
There were scraps of manuscript about
the room also. most of them verses that
the suicide had written. One verse ran:
A 1.-the imperial form and. oh. Whist hands
For preludng loves oldep, golden lag;
What wonder thst found myself At bay
With fate In youths EXTREMIST tiger lsnds.
Though round u pulsed no ardent Eastern scene,
MID hydrsheaded tolls enormous shrines
At low tide Of Manhattan's chang. and sheen
Or themes were bitter sweet and are these
lines
Poor solace for that midnights might have been.
On the wall OF Goldsborough's room
was q crude pen-and-ink drawing Of q
man and a girl. technically little better
than a high school boy might do. 1t was
signed with Goldsborough's name.
