Dear Sir: Replying to your circular letter Of
the 21st. 1 must confess that this production
yourself 10 sign statements which reflect no credit
upon you as a political prophet or even an ordi-
nary observer Of the drift OF political opinion
race may be very reassuring 10 YOU and to those
henchmen who. while loudly claiming TO be Re
pubicans. are perfectly Wiling 70 ad1" me parry
dishonor: bur there are, / rejoice 10 know, a very
great number Of Republicans IN this city who VIII
have no part In this nefar!cus and aboninab!s
scheme.
1 believe In organization and leaders, despise
bossos-and the vital and significant distinction
between these two classes Is just here-the man
win OF the people, while the boss sets up his own
imperious viii as final, and from which there must
be no appeal. Had the majority OF the voters IN
the Tammany organization had their way, the
candidate would undoubtedly have been eN-FoSt-
master Dayton; had the bulk OF the voters VINO
ed. Mr.. Low would have received The Republican
convention nomination. The day for THIS tyranny
and oppression IS almost past VERY truly yoHTr5'

Tho pandects of Justinian, the most
complete body of Roman laws ever col

1887, when Amalfi was taken and plum
dered by the Pisans, a private soldier
found copy which he sold to an officer
for few pence. The value Of the discov-
cry was soon apparent and the precious
volume was taken to Pisa and stored in
the city library. When Pisa was stormed
BY the Florentines, in l415. the precious
volume was captured and taken to Flor
ence, where it was placed In the library

A THANKSGIVING EPISODE.
Much Good Cheer for a Very Lone

Much Good Cheer for a Very Lone
| some Man.
They were sitting in the glow of
cracking logs heaped in the great open
fireplace at the club.
''Why is it. Brayton, asked the mem
Der who never hesitates to express his
curiosity, that you never talk and al
ways blush when we're on the subject
of Thanksgiving?"
81 presume l might as well answer,
but it's in strict confidence, understand.
Before | became a member of the com
pany l was its representative in the far
west where we were placing number
of engines. You know what a sociable
animal am and can imagine how home
sick felt on finding myself alone in San
Francisco on Thanksgiving. I knew
no one and would have felt more cheer
full to have been a Robinson Crusoe for
the time, for 1 could have interested my
self in scheming to get back to ciyiliza-
ton.
at was absolutely necessary that
have sympathy from some source and
confided in the hotel clerk, telling him
how miserable I was at being cut off
from all the home pleasures that make
the day so delightful. While he was
condoling with me and promising all
relief within his command fine-looking
young fellow. with a smile to soften
cynic, stepped forward, lifted his hat
as he begged my pardon, and asked to
speak with me alone.
Without meaning to- he began, I
overheard what you said. and our cases
are so identical that venture to sug-
gest that we do what we may to cheer
each other. Be my guest at a genuine
New England Thanksgiving dinner that
/ will order at the best cafe in the city.
I'm MT only alone here, but in the
world, and you will never know how it
is frightened by this touch of fellow
feeling
Nothing could have touched me more
happily. The meal we ate was one to
delight an epicure. My cares were ban
ished by good cheer and companion
ship. When il came to cigars, my
charming acquaintance did not approve
of the brand served us and stepped TIA
the cigar stand to point out his favor
ties.
II have never seen him since. After
waiting nearly an hour paid all the
money / had with me on the bill and one
of the walters was selected to accom-
pany me to my hotel for the balance.
When called for my overcoat, it was
gone. As / stepped from the door POI
liceman took me by the arm and gruff-
ly asked what had become of my pal.
1t took me most of the night to establish
my standing as an honest man and BE-
relieved from custody. Then / was
thankful and humbly admitted my
error in thinking that was the smart
est man on the road. Detroit Fres
