WHERE OLD DIRECTORIES GO.
As Much Of q Mystery as the Disappear
ance of the Pins.

As Much of q Mystery as the Disappear
ance of the Pins.
What becomes of old directories is a
question that 1 have asked myself many
times" said an official of the post Office
to a reporter the other day. II have
tried many times to solve the question,
but it is not as easy as it looks. I am
aware, of course, that number of the
ancient directories go to the corner
drug stores to deceive the public that
may enter in the hope of consulting a
new edition of the annual, and it is just
as hard to get a new directory in the
average pharmacy as it is to find the
same useful work in the average tele-
graph Office. I know some big houses
in this city. that have used the same
guide to the addresses of residents for
the last five years, and they have not
tired of it as yet.
"Many of the large corporations send
their old annual to out-of-town branch
Offices when the new one comes around.
This is especially so of railroad COM
panies. I dare say many private firms
would purchase old directories at low
price if they could get them, but they
are not as obtainable as one would sup
pose. In all my experience 1 have never
seen an old New York or Brooklyn d.
rectory for sale on the secondhand book
stands. Strange, is it not? They may
be exposed for sale, for all that, but
they must be gobbled up so soon after
being deposited on the stall that few
see them. have heard that an uptown
book agent makes a business of buying
up antiquated directories and have tried
to locate him, more for curiosity than
anything else, but thus far have failed
to find him. 1 know personally of a
Wall street lawyer who few years ago
paid $3.50 for a city directory of 1862.
He wanted to put it in evidence as proof
of the existence of a certain firm whose
heirs he represented. He won the case,
and the directory is now one of the heir
looms of his office."-N. Y. Mail and
Express.

THE DUTY OF PATRIOTS.
Constant and Hard Work Needed to Over
throw Political Bosses.

throw POLITICAL BOSSES.
To overthrow the bosses and their
methods, to establish in place of the low
and narrow door to political distinction
q high and broad one, all men who love
their country must go into politics, into
the primaries and nominating conven-
tions, and insist upon the right to select
the candidates. 1t is said by some, in
excuse of the present Indifferent char
acter of candidates for legislative and
other offices, that first-rate men will not
consent to accept nominations; but eX-
perience has shown that this is a mis-
take. 1t is very seldom that much
trouble is found in inducing men of
character to stand for public Office, pro-
vided they can be assured that they will
be faithfully supported, and will have
to make no compromising pledges in re-
turn for the nomination. Politics can
be purified if the people will insist upon
the publication. The trouble is that
while the politicians work every day of
the year to keep politics down to their
level, their opponents work only spas
medically, usually a few weeks before
election, and during the remainder of
the year dismiss the subject from their
minds.
1t requires great fervor of patriotism
to carry on this work, but he must be a
very poor American who is willing to
admit that there is not enough of saving
grace in our people to produce suffi-
cient body of men to accomplish it. The
kind of patriotism required is of the
highest order. 1t must be willing to
give time and labor and money, to sac
rifce the best that a man has on the
altar of his country. 1t is undoubtedly
more prosaic than dying for ones coun-
try on the field of battle, but the man
who devotes his life to preserving the
honor OF his country and perpetuating
free government is as much hero as the
one who falls upon the field of battle.
Happily there is no demand for him to
prove his patriotism in war, while there
is great and pressing demand for him
to prove it in the peaceful duties of cit
izenship.
He is not the truest or most useful
patriot who boasts of his willingness to
fight for his country in a war which
may never come or ought never to come,
but he who gives her his service in a
struggle that is already in progress.
What our country is in need of is an
army of patriots who will enlist for the
determination of an army of political
pirates and freebooters who are slow
ly but surely filching from us all
that made it the best to live
in and the easiest to die for" We
need recruits in every town and village
and great city, men who will not give up
the fight till the victory is won. This is
q patriotism which tries mems souls,
for it calls for quiet, self-sacrifcing, I'M
renting labor; but it is the only
patriotism which will save American in
situations from destruction, and make
the American name, as the symbol Of
human progress, honored throughout
the world-Century.
