He affects no pose at all. He is an al

He has an early breakfast. is at his
desk not later than half past every

qualify for the ranks Of the !. W. W. or
the charmed circles Of bohemia. The
artistic temperament, which has borne
. burden as heavy as that which rests
upon the shoulders Of Atlas, provides
him with no excuse to lag or to wait for
the divine affiatus to move him to his
toll.
He does not believe in the supernat-
ural elevation Of the intellect. Any man
with an idea, according to Mr.. Cham
bers, can provide himself with the
means Of giving it expression. II the
idea one has to express meets with public
favor that is entirely matter of luck.

These are the thoughts Of a modest
man, the conclusions of sane phloso-
