ANSWER TO Mr.. TFINkRIGHT.
Mr.. Thinkright, if l am not badly
mistaken, you boil over very quickly.
The city has 121 engine companies
and about SO truck companies. Now
you have a chnace to go into any of
these and the officers will not chase
you out; the men will welcome you.
See if you can find any men painting
ladders or painting carts. 1t shows
you don't know much about your
fire department. Do you know that
the city has it's shops at Sibley and
Desplaines sts., where you can go
and see the apparatus of the fire de-
partment overhauled by union men,
and they have cards. By the way you
talk you have not.
Now, Mr.. Thinkright, don't boil
over any more and don't listen to any
talk from the Helmet club, but do as
1 say. Visit the engine companies and
then go to the shops. am no fire
man, but am for the twO-platoOn sys-

COMFORT IN Reading
all these attacks upon the Catholics
often make me wonder:
Suppose we are wrong in all our
beliefs? Suppose there is no God, no
Virgin Mary? Suppose we are fool
ish to go to confession, to abstain
from meat on Fridays and holy days?
What of it? Is not the child who be-
lieves in Santa Claus happier than
the one who knows better?"
Another thing. We don't ask non
Catholics to believe as we do. All we
ask is the right to worship God in our
own way. Even though that way be
wrong, we are happier and better
than those who do not believe in God.
Where ignorance is bliss, 'twere
folly to be wise"
Before l Joined the Catholic church
I, for a long time, attended M. Man
gassarian's lectures in Orchestra hall.
I had read and studied the bible and
had noticed many. discrepancies and
seeming contradictions therein; and
as 1 listened to his arguments said
to myself: There is no God-it is
all nonsense. There is no hereafter
and therefore l will be happy as I
can here and take what few pleasures
come my way" But all the time a
"still, small voice" within me whisp-
cred: There is a God and you know
it"
And when looked around and saw
all the misery and unhappiness in the
world 1 was glad to listen to that
voice and believe that there is a God,
and that, in His own good time, He
will make all things right. And in
that belief I am contented and happy,
even when troubles come. Can
science do as much for you? And
after all what is there on earth better
worth having? Take all your science
and all it can do for you, but give me

Mr.. Willis had been ailing for some

begun to tell upon him. He was born
May Is, 1886 and came to Colorado in
1864, driving an OK team in a train of
So wagons across the great plains, then
tenanted only by Indians, jack rabbits
and buffalo. At Scott's bluff the party

Mr.. Willis settled in Boulder county,
where in 1871 he was married to Miss
Rachael Eggleston, who survives him.
Seven children were born to them, but
only the one remains. After filling
several minor places of trust among
his neighbors, MIR. Willis was elected
county commissioner of Boulder county
in 1898 and served for . three year
term.
