" 'KNEW DE -QUINCEY'S WOHKS. Choate Was 'Better Posted on Them Than the Author Himself. Many years ago James T, Fields, the publisher, was making a collection of .the writings of De Quincey. 'The es- says were widely scattered in various periodicals and were often hard to identify, Mr. Fields knew , Rufus JOHN G. ZIEGLER “THE LAND MAN’ Fire=- Life-===I N SU R A N C E===-Accident REAL ESTATE IN ALL ITS BRANCHES FARM LANDS BOUCHT AND SOLD Co to Him for Farm Loans Office--Odd Fellows Bullding Quincey and wrote him one day ask- ing his opinion as to a certain article. Was it by De Quincey or not? Mr. Choate replied that it certainly was. There could be no mistaking the style of the piece. A few weeks later Mr. Choate received through Mr. Flelds a letter from De Quincey deny- ing absolutely and somewhat indig- nantly the authorship of the article. But Choate was not of the stuff to yield his opinion for a trifle like that. He wrote to Mr. Fields: “I still believe that De Quincey wrote the essay. De Quincey to the contrary notwithstanding.” Doubtless Mr. Fields read the note with a smiling comment, “That's just like Choate's confidence in his own Judgment!” Months elapsed. One day there came 1 letter from De Quincey containing a humble apology for his previous blun- der. By chance he had found in his desk the manuscript of the very article in question. Written as it had been years before, it had passed entirely from his mind. “and you may tell your young Boston lawyer,” he concluded, “that he knows my style better than I know it myself.” OUT FOR THE FEES. Corporation Directors Want Their Rights and Usually Get Them. A large corporation held a directors’ meeting a few days ago. As the'meet- ing was coming to a close one of ‘the directors, reputed to be worth $10,000,- sy D .M £y® ONY 4, 000, ran in all out of breath. Just as @\‘fl\v@{’}%,m‘?{‘\‘f/ : he entered the other directors were making their exit, says the Hartford Courant. “Look here,” the incoming dl_rector' shouted to the chairman, “I want" to know why I haven’t received notice of this meeting.” 3 “I am sure I don't know,” the chair- man said. “Notices were sent to“all directors. You surely must have .re ceived one.” The director finished up an excited tirade by saying, “I want my rights.” Just then the secretary was brought into conference, who in turn handed the late director an envelope. He de- parted with a smiling countenance. This recalls the story of a New York corporation where $20 for each director was laid on, the table and those who attended divided the whole pile. If half came each got $40. The members were men far advanced in years and in riches. One day it stormed violently when a meeting was to be held. The executive officers did not believe a || single director would be there, “but every man of them was on hand, each baving figured out that nobody else would appear and that he might swipe the entire allowance.

On a Grain of Wheat. Prayers have been written and en- graved on many small objects, but only one person ever has been patient and painstaking enough to inscribe a complete prayer on a grain of wheat. One day Sir Moses Monteflore received a small tin box in the mail. ‘On the cover of the box was written, “A prayer for Sir Moses Montefiore, by Bauch Mordecai, son of Zebi Hirsch- Ly Scheinemann of Jerusalem.” The box Ih F ' contained a single grain of wheat, on S .\ Y which were inscribed in characters so. oty A 2 small they cotild only be read with the; aid of a powerful microscope the 386 Hebrew letters of the prayer and the date of the year (Hebrew reckoning), 5645. Sir Moses kept the prayer in his private desk until he died. and it is . | preserved with religious care by one of his friends. - When you're:in to :attend the Cream- "ty Meeting - Monday morning, make I, L L RO | 3 l apoi“t, .tfl $Vis.it our Stol'e. we ry were two men whose antics at- tracted considerable attention.
