George Wisedn Is Good Samaritan for Couple Blinded BIZ
White Wdy Then Deserted In COuatry and Considered

George Wiseman, clerk at the store
of Lee Albert, reported for duty in a
very unpleasant state of mind Mon
day morning, and in relating the
cause for his peevishness, condemned
city council, the light company and
the automobile owners.
Wiseman worked hard Saturday
ana after partaking of his evening
meal sought prominent corner on
Broadway, where he sat on TIE curp
and rested his weary lower extrem-
tiles while he watched the crowds
pass.
Just as he was preparing TO turn
in for good nights slumber, an auto
stopped near him, and the driver hail
ed him and asked him to step to the
machine. In keeping with his oblig-
ing tendencies, Mr.. Wiseman walked
over to the car and offered bis SER
vices.
The man in charge of the auto,
without the formality OF introducing
himself, impaired the information that
he had become bewildered by the con-
fusing glare Of the new white lights,
and that when he sought the darker
streets he encountered trenches and
dumps where Improvements were be-
ing made.
In his efforts to extricate himself
he had lost his bearings, he said and
did not know the way out of town.
The visitor was accompanied by a
young woman, who he stated was his
wife, and she also appealed to Mr..
Wiseman to help them to locate them
selves.
They stated they lived somewhere
beyond Dutchtown and that they
would feel under lasting obligations
to their newly discovered friend if
he would accompany them to the
Bloomfield road.
In compliance with their wishes the
young man climbed into the car and
gave the necessary directions to the
driver. After riding with them to the
city limits, he attempted to explain
that the way was clear, and that his
services as a guide were no longer
necessary, but his words made no Wis
ible impression on the man at the
wheel who continued to speed onward
without making a response.

authorizing the building OF Government
railroads senator Borah argued for his

tion work In the semi-arid States OF the

employment.
