While we were rounding up bunch

being crowded with books. And the
books are not for ornament, but for
use. His favorite reading is in the
direction of political economy and his
tory. He has n pretty extensive ac-
quaintance with novels, but never read
modern fiction very much. He is fond
of Fielding and has followed the great
novelists from Fielding's day.
OF late years he allowed even his
relationship with the old novelists to
lapse and did very little reading in
that line, although he regretted 1t.
There were lot of old books that he
read time and again. The list of those
books makes a curious juxtaposit1on.

Unconditional, but Polite.

During his campaign for the mayor
atty II was said by Gaynor's opponents
that he was cold, unresponsive per-
son, with little of the human In his
manner but the correspondents who
visited him at his city home and at his
farm painted a far different picture Of
his personality. One of them wrote:
you are Immediately at ease with
him, not because of any effort on his
part to put you so, but rather the con-
trary-rather because he receives you
in so matter of fact fashion that 1t
seems like the resumption of a con-
versation ended an hour or so ago.
HE is neither demonstrative nor
impolite. He hears what you have to
say, considers 1t with that contempla-
tive look and either refuses in an un-
emotional manner to do what you
want or tells you to wait until he has
got rid of the visitor in the next room.
Then he goes into the next room, and,
despite the closed door, you can tell by
the sounds that proceed from 1t that
he is doing all the talking. While his
voice Is not piercing, 1t has II certain
resonant tang to 1t that makes its way
through doors. and there Is no mistak-
ing that slow, dispassionate, deliberate
delivery for that of any other man on
earth. If Mr.. Gaynor had to call any
body lar to his face 1t is very doubt
full If his tone of voice or his freight
car delivery would change an iota."
Immediately after Mr. Gaynor sue
ceeded George b. Mcclellan as mayor
of New York in January, 1910, the gen
eral public began TO SIT up and take
notice that an interesting indivsdualist
was In the executive chair. AZ n jur-
list and n citizen he haG ditclsed most
caustically the police syltem of the
city, and he soon began to get after
this system in strenuous fashion. Plain
clothes men were sent back to pound
sidewalks in uniform. District and
precinct commanders were transferred,
and the police were gwen to under
stand that they were the cIty's serv-
ants, not its masters. The mayor
"snooped around" considerably, sec
ing with his own eyes how the patrol
men and their superior officers We're
executing their duties or assuming au-
thority which the law did not allow
them. He visited the night courts and
took notes. rs result of which he
published letter declaring that most
of the arrests Of persons brought into
these courts We're wholly uncalled for
and that the policemen making the ar
rests We're ut erly ignorant Of their
duties This utteraucc of the mayor
was in line with his wei known atti-
tude as TO the government of men. He
is for the least possible government
consistent with order and civilization.
He espouses the cause of personal lib
erty, and nothing makes Mayor Gay
nor more indignant than the unwnr
ranted arrest of citizen by an igno-
rant or vicious policeman
Early IN his mayors term Mr. Gay
nor created n national sensation when
he arose at a meeting of publishers
and read a fierce denunciation of W.

The new mayor attracted much at
