On being refused transportation by iTrjstee Stillinger. the tramp hied himself to the Methodist church, while services were on, and appealed to tne congregation for alms.

The congregation responded with a goodly sum of money, but on questioning the tramp closely it was decided that he was a dead beat and the money that had been collected from the congregation was not given to him. this persistent the ministers of the city and poured such a touching hard luck story into the charitable ear of the minister that, he was moved to call on Trustee Stillinger bookkeeper and tell her that if she would issue transportation to the tramp to Indianapolis that the board of charities would stand the expense in the event- that Trustee Stillinger would not sanction the order for the transportation and now Trustee Stil linger is holding the board of charities for the amount. The minister, however, before he disposed of the tramp, became convinced that he was a dead beat, yet he said that he felt that the he city of that class of people the better is would be for the city.
