KNEW DE QUINCEY'S WORKS. Choat Was Batter ''Potted : on Them r. Than the Author Himself. Man; years ago james T. Fields, the publisher, was making a collection of the writings of De Qulncey. The es says were widely , scattered in various periodicals and were often hard to identify. Mr. Fields knew .. Rufus Choate as a devoted student of Dp Qulncey and wrote him one day ask ing his opinion as. to a certain article. Was It by De -Qulncey or not? Mr. Choate teplled that It certainly was, There could be no mistaking the style of the piece. A few weeks later Mr. - Chonte received , through , Mr. Fields a letter from De Qulncey deny ing absolutely and somewhat indig nantly the authorship of the article. But Choate was not of the staff to yield bis opinion for a trifle like that He wrote to Mr. Fields : v tndcrgoes Operation.

So they organized a chamber of commerce, and 600 business men Joined,, Then the same crowd of fellows who wouldn't have tried to raise f"0 for some Fourth of July firecrackers last year received the secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who told them that all he wanted was 150,000 for a new association build ing. . They said they'd try, and six days Inter n hundred Hamilton busi ness men turned over to the Y M. G A. pledges of ?1!2,000. Merry bosrl tal needed $10,000 to finish an uncom pleted floor. So the hundred put in an extra half day, and when they counted up they bad 114,000 Instead of $10,000. "Let's get some more good facto ries," they said. "We are growing right along., but it Is almost entirely through the expansion of our own big concerns. Let's have an industrial fund." The retailers took It np first, and the rest of the business commu nity followed. Four days' work b forty men netted another $50,000, to be expended by trustees in aid of In dustrial promotion. The Associated ChariUes of the city bad conducted two tag days for the benefit of the poor. The first one rm Milium I i 1 BOMB or TBK OHAUBBB OP COM MBRCB. yielded $2.S00, and the second fell off to $200t Some of the managers thought the town bad been milked dry and that. a third tag day would be a fizzle, tt wasn't Hamilton bad just learned to give.

' One day there came t letter from De Qulncey containing a humble apology for his previous blun der. 'By chance he had found In tin desk the manuscript of the very article in , question. Written as if had been years before, it had passed entirely from his mind, "and yon may tell your young Boston lawjer," he concluded, "that he knows my style better than I know It myself.", , ' HELP WANTEIX-Experlenced wait- T?;:"" 1 wavaa ataaHv wnrtr Phone Hotel Joseph, Joseph, Ore. 6-12-tf :-: ., EXCURSIOPc-' Faces' Ha s t ' - - - 1911 , From all points on , OKi:COX.WAi'LTOX BA1L10AI & XAVIOATIO.X COMPANY To ' " ' "FARES: Chicago T i . ...

Corporation Directors Wsnt Thsir Rights and Usually Get Them. A large corporation held a directors' meeting a few days ago. As the meet ing was coming to n close one of the directors, reputed to be worthi $10,000, 000, ran in all out of breath. Just as he entered the other directors were making their exit, snys the Hartford Courant ;-. . "Look here," the incoming director shouted to the chairman, "I want to know why I haven't received notice of this meeting." "I am sure 1 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 banded the lnte director an envelope. . lie de parted with a smlliug 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 oX. them was on hand, each having figured out that nobody, else would appceV and that be might swipe the entire aflbwanee. , ' : FOR - RENT-Suit of housekeeping rooms with, bath and laundry room.

"Say, what are you trying to do, shifting around like this?" he demanded- "I'm deaf in my left ear and was trying to get where I'd tear well," the younger replied. , . "And I'm blind in my left eye and wanted to see what was doing," said the other.
