and when an old woman there couldn't

warm over Sunday. he filed two-b,she
h,rlap bag with coal and carried ii through
the streets to her house on his back.
He's non-sectarian Of the practical sort
He contributed to the fund for the Roman
Catholic church in Rye; he gave something
also toward the new Episcopal parish house
there, and he had railing put in around
the pulpit in the Methodist church in his
own town.
He's married, but hasn't any children
Yet it is saio that his bills for children's
shoes are bigger than those OF any Of the
most strenuous opponents Of race suicide
in the county.
He WINS formerly constable; but, rather
than turn an old woman out OF her home,
nc paid her debt He was once captain OF
fire company, and he used to lead the vii
lage band. In fact, he's done about every

because the district of Rye, in which he is

He has been an untiring worker AZ the

recognition for his service except the post

day was illustrated in the local campaign
AT Port Chester last spring when, after the
Democrats had brought in sloop-load OF
mechanics. Merritt harangIed them and
got them all to vote the Citizens ticket
Then he chartered lot of boats and
