HIS UNLIMITED FAITH
BY GEORGE GREEN.

They called Dick Winfield Candy"
at school, because he was so easily
taken in. Since to tell lie was some
thing impossible to him, even if he had
had the will, he believed in every
body else. When he left school he
went into a newspaper Office
In one way his curious trait was
advantageous to him. Because he be-
neved everything that was told he
made good reporter, his interest and
enthusiasm going out to all sorts of
persons. But after all one must have
discrimination in any line of enter
prise. Dick held an imaginary inter
view with an imaginary trust magnate
who was being impersonated by an
imaginary GEOGRAPHICALLY a bust
ness rival: the paper became involved
in libel suit which was terminated
by ridiculous apology, and Dick was
dropped
He held several positions after that,
but none very long. He wanted per-
maneDt post badly, because he was en-
gagged to the sweetest girl in the world
Sylvia Carrick- He believed in her
as he did in everybody else, and Syl-
via and he were to be married just as
soon as Dick began to prosper. At this
time he was working as a life insur-
ance agent, in which his faculty of
faith should have proved serviceable.
But this was too precarious, for near
ly everybody in his town had been in
sured or else refused to be. They
could never marry on what he was
making
Sylvia said Dick one evening, with
beaming eyes, II have found the way
at last Do you know that one hun
dred dollars in blackberry lands in the
northeast, insureS q permanent income
of $4,000 a year after two years"
20, Dicki" said Sylvia reproachfully.
But / can prove it to you, because
1t is all down here in black and white %
said Dick, producing a printed pamph-
let as long as his arm.
Dick left the following month for
the barrens of Maine, and, three
months later, sold Out for $50 to invest
in a gold mine in Mexico. 1t was said
to be the most wonderful thing that
had ever been fouted and guaranteed
unlimited profits tss those willing to

Under ADMITS MAP
ORDER IRREGULAR
But Says Former Mayor Pier
son Went Ahead at Own Risk.

| Admitting that the hiring of former
Mayor Arthur S. Pierson to make an
assessment map of the town was ir-
regular Alderman Linder Friday night
told the other members of the board
that the committee had ordered the
work done but was promptly contra
dicted by Alderman Shelley, a mem
Der of last years committee. Alder
man Linder told of the passage OF
the resolution at the meeting in 1912
regarding the assessment map. The
then finance committee, he said en-
gagged Mr.. Pierson to do the work
while he was still mayor but with
the understanding that it was not to
start until after the first of this year.
Alderman Shelley denied that the
committee had hired the former
mayor asserting that he was mem
Der of the committee and no meet
ing had been held at which such ac-
tion was taken and asked what au-
thority the committee had to take
such action. Alderman Linder moved
the committee be authorized to take
the necessary steps towards procuring
an assessment map. Alderman Shell
ley asserted he would second the
motion if it was amended so that
bids were to be advertised for
Alderman Linder said that the
members of the board last year were
not lawyers, the whole board voted
for the map but it seems We're
wrong. Mr.. Pierson was hired in
good faith.
DO / understand that Mr.. Pier
son was employed last year while he
was still mayor?" asked DR.. Mills
1.-THE arrangement was made with
him before the first of the year but
with the understanding that he was
not 10 rt work until after his
term OF ice had expired replied
AldeaMaa inder, who asserted that
counsel was not taken in the matter.
Ibid the finance committee en-
ploy Mr.. Plerson?" asked DR.. Mills.
81 so stated replied Alderman Lin
der.
81 was member of that commit
tee and heard of no meeting for the
purpose" reiterated Alderman Shell
ley. ~
Upon DR.. Mills request the minutes
of the previous meeting regarding the
matter were read. They were to the
effect that the finance committee
was to take steps towards procuring
the map. Alderman Shelley pointed
out that no power was given the
committee to enter into contract
Alderman Linder denied that there
was a contract and asserted that Mr.
Pierson had taken the job at his
own risk and that the work he had
done on the map, amounting to $3.50,
would be his own loss. He asserted
that no price had been agreed upon
for the work, asserting that it was
of such a nature that bids could not
be comprehensively made upon it.
The only way to get the map he as
serted was to hire man and pay
him what he might charge.
Counsel Vogt ruled that Mr.. Lin
der's motion had not been seconded
and upon Alderman Shelley's motion
the finance committee was author
lied to advertise for bids for the
preparing of an assessment map of
the town.
