Choate Wac Better Posted on Them
Than tho Author Himself.
Many years ago James T. Fields. the
publishe-. was making a collection Of
the writings of De Quincy. 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 De
Quincy and wrote him one day ask
ing bis opinion as to a certain article.
Was It by De Quincy or not?
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 a letter from De Quincy deny
ing absolutely and somewhat tndig.
nantly the authorship Of the article.
But Choate was not Of the stuff to
yield bis opinion for trifie like that.
He wrote to Mr.. Fields:
II still believe that De Quincy wrote
the essay, De Quincy to the contrary
Notwithstanding"
Doubtless Mr.. Fields read the note
with a smiling comment, THAT'S Just
like Choate's confidence in his own
Judgment
Months elapsed One day there came
a letter from De Quincy containing a
humble apology for his previous blum
der. BY chance he had found in his
desk the manuscript CT the very article
In question. Written as It had been
years before. 1t had passed entirely
from his mind. land you may tell your
young Boston lawyer" he concluded,
shat he knows my style better than I
know 1t myself"

The City Fathers are determined
that since the trolley company has
abolished the strip tickets, the cor

it needs in the way Of franchises. The
