OUT FOR THE FEES.

Corporation Directors Want Their
Rights and Usually Get Them.
A large corporation held O directors
meeting a few days ago. As the meet
ing was coming to close one OF the
directors. reputed to be worth $4,000
00O ran in all out OF breath. Just as
he entered the other directors were
making their exit, says the Hartford
Courant
Look here" the incoming director
shouted 10 the chairman, Il want to
know why l haven't received notice Of
this meeting"
Il am sure / 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
TRADE by saying, II want my rights"
Just then the secretary was brought
into conference. who in turn handed
the late director an envelope. He de-
parted with n smiling countenancc.
This recalls the story of a New York
corporation where $50 for each director
was laid on the table and those who
attended divided the whole pile. #
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
having figured out that nobody else
would appear and that he might swipe

KNEW De QUINCEYs WORKS.

Choats Was Better Posted on Them
Than the Author Himself.
Many years ago James T. Fields. the
publisher. was making collection OF
The writings Of De Quincy. The es-
says were widely scattered In various
periodicals aid were often hard to
identify. Mr.. Fields knew Rufus
Choate as a devoted student Of De
Quincy and wrote him one day ask
ing his opinion as to certain article.
Was 1t by De Quincy or not7
Mr.. Choate replied that 1t certainly
was. There could be no mistaking the
style of the piece. A few weeks later
Mr.. Choate received through Mr..
Fields q letter from De Quincy deny
ing absolutely and somewhat tndlg.
nantly the authorship Of the article.
But Choate was not Of the stuff to
yield his opinion for tri6e like that.
He wrote to Mr.. Fields:
Il still believe that De Quincy wrote
the essay. De Quincy to the contrary
Notwithstanding"
Doubtless Mr.. Fields read the note
with Il smiling comment, That's just
like Choate's confidence in his own
judgment!'
Months elapsed. One day there came
letter from De Quincy containing a
humble apology for his previous blum
der. By chance he had found In bis
desk the manuscript Of the very article
III question. Written as 1t had been
years before, 1t had passed entirely
from his mind. "and you may tell your
young Boston lawyer" he concluded,
that he knows my style better than !
