fellowship and generosity are still cur
rent In Boston. A stranger, mistak
ing him for a friend, approached him
from behind, slapped him on the
shoulder, and greeted him as Jack with
all the warmth of a life-long friend
ship. O'Reilly turned to fuce a very
embarrassed mun, and, holding out his
hand, said: "I'm not Jack, but I'm
glad to know and be the friend of any
man that is glad to see his friend, as
you seem to be."
Whllo O'Reilly was reading one of
the poems after a Beml-publlc dinner,
and, as usual, was deeply absorbed In
the task, a negro waiter walked across
the floor with creaking shoes. O'Reilly,
much annoyed, stopped and addressed
half a dozen bitter words to the chair
man. The waiter was thoroughly un
happy at the Incident and a guest who
loft the table after the poem was fin
ished found O'Reilly In the hall humbly
apologizing to the negro and thrusting
a $5 bill Into his hand.
