TURN MET IN KIND
Bridget Nagle Remembers
Gallantry of Young Tom.

Thomas Taggart, Democratic candidate
for United States Senator, learned early
IN his political career how sweet it IS
to be remembered by helpful and sp-
preciative friends.
The story of Bridget Nagle VIII never
grow old, for it is typically story which
illustrates the mutually of unselhshness
of the friendships that brighten Thomas
TaEgat's career all along the way.
When young Tom Taggart-he was IL

TO CHILLED WOMAN.
At Deschler, Ohio. in a freless barn
az a station, the two were called upon
for a long night wait on a delayed train.
Young Taggart induced the matronly
Bridget to try for a nap.
When she woke two hours later. coy,
snug and refreshed, she found the boy
had wrapped her carefully IN his new
oyercoat and that Tom was exceedingly
busy Shaping himself and performing all
sorts Of acrobatic stunts IN an effort to
keep his blood stirring.
God bless you," said the little Irish
woman as she returned the overcoat to
it's owner.
Tom Taggart FLUSHED and smiled and
hurried the little lady to the train.
But that's not all.
Ten years later Thomas Taggart en-
tered upon an uphill battle for political
honors-auditor Of Marion County.
At that time Bridget Maggie was stin In
Mr.. Taggart's employ.
She called upon him
,'They tel me you're getttn' int poll

che declared, nor would she be denied
her part in the election of her friend
THAT was the one and only contri-
button to my campaign fund that year,
said Mr.. Taggart, when reminded of the

Bridget Nagle has good reason to re-
member Tom Taggart and Ids ohivalric
