80 the months passed, and besides re-
ceiving the benefits of the state. and of
regular habits, Thaw made many warm
friends. Some OF these were won by
his many deeds of kindness, especially
to children; others became attached to
him through sympathy. Few were OBJ
trusive, and he lived as free a life as
one could in his circumstances. In this
environment he regained his health and
poise and fitted himself to 70 back to

battle for freedom. and then 20 about
his business.
When Thaw was a resident Of New
hampshire, some Of the New York pa
pers had much fun with our people and
cracked many little joke about his
being New Hampshires meal ticket.
What actually took place was that the
people Of this city and state met him
half way. treated him like a man, and
helped him back to sound health by
leaving him pretty much to himself.
He spent good deal Of money here in
one way and another. Very likely he
was worked for some Of II, but most Of
1t was freely given, and a sight of him
as he appeared here this week was
enough to convince one that for all he
ever paid out in this state In return
for services or by way Of charity he
received full value in the things that
make life worth living-health and
friendship. - Manchester
