Indianapolis counts it a rare privilege
to welcome the veterans of the Grand
Army of the Republic and to do them
all honor for their courage and willing
ness to sacrifice even life itself to save
the Union.
\
What of the army for which*
there is so urgent a call today
to fight the “war after the
war” against the high cost of
living? As in Civil War days,
this 1920 army is one of volun
teers —of volunteers to spend
wisely and save regularly, no
matter what their income.

TAGGART’S GOOD
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 ap
preciative friends.
The story of Bridget Nagle will never
grow old, for it Is typically a story which
illustrates the mutuality of unselfishness
of the brighten Thomas
Target's career all along the way.
When young Tom Taggart—he was IS*
—left Xenia, Ohio, to go to Garret, Ind.,
to help open an eating house for his em
ployers, he was escort to little Bridget
Nagle a pastry cook from Dayton, Ohio,
an elderly, friendly body who, as it
happened was very thinly clad, and con
sequently not prepared to withstand the
l itter cold of that harsh December time.
GIYEB OVERCOAT
TO CHILLED WOMAN.
At Deschler, Ohio, in a tireless barn
at a station, the two were called upon
lor 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, cozy,
snug tnd refreshed, she found the boy
hod wrapped her carefully in his new
overcoat, and that Tom was exceedingly
busy slapping himself and performing all
sorts of acrobatic stunts In an effort te
keop his blood stirring.
“God bless yon," said the little Irish
woman as she returned the overcoat to
Its owner.
Tom Taggart blushed 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 Nagle was stm In
Mr. Taggart’s employ.
She called npon him.
“They tell me yon*Te gettln’ into poli
tics.” she said.
“That's very true,” was the reply.
*T want to be county auditor."
FIRST CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTION.
‘'You’ll be needin’ a lot of money,
mebbe?” suggested Bridget Nagle.
"It will take some money, yes,” said the
puzzled Thomas.
The little Irish lady reached Into the
bosom es her dresa and prodnoed a roll
of bills.
“That'll help,” the said, simply, hand
ing Mr. Taggart fIOO, all her savings.
“I’ve loved yon ever since the night'
you put your overcoat on me and went
cold yourself, over there at Deschler,”
eh* declared, nor would she be denied
her part in the election of her friend.
“That was the one and only contri
bution to my campaign fund that year,”
said Mr. Taggart, when reminded of the
episode.
Bridget Nagle has good reason to re
member Tom Taggart and his obivalric
friendliness In after years. -
Her contribution to the first Taggart
campaign bore good fruit and a rich
harvest.
