Boggs and Stewart Paid.

Harry Boggs, an accountant for the public service commission, recently was checking up the records of the Anderson municipal electric plant, at Anderson. A campaign was on in Anderson to raise money for a Y. M. C. A. building. Boggs was approached by committees and asked to contribute. Finally he signed a paper promising to pay sl, and opposite he placed the name of Charley Stewart, chief clerk of the commission, in whose office at the statehouse Boggs has a desk. Boggs came home and waited developments. Soon Stewart was notified that his contribution to the Anderson Y. M. C. A. was due. He didn’t say much, but apparently did a lot of thinking. The other day he caught. Boggs in the offices as another “dun” came in. Stewart opened and read the “dun,” which was more or less insistent in its tone. Then he walked over to Boggs. “Lend me a dollar, will you, Harry?” he asked; And Boggs dived into his pocket and produced the dollar. “Now I’ll just pay this bill for you,” said Stewart. —Indianapolis News.
