PRESIDENT HARDING ADMITS HIS
ADMIRATION FOR APT IMPOSTER
(Continued irom *'skb One.t
then a Cleveland business man but
since Governor of Olilo helped out
in the hour of need “a cousin by
the nanip of Herrick from Virginia
who needed carfare home.” Hut
gradually Mr. Harding ceased to
think of it, until the other day lie
received a letter from Colonel Chris
tian, recalling the visit of the ' Vir
ginia" cousin, anil saying that he
himself had been recently victimized
in a similar way.
“1 am in receipt ot your letter,’
President Harding wrote in reply
*'in which you tell me of the call
upon you by the breezy and com pan
lonahle chap who, alter the fasliiol
of the gentleman who was named
Harding one day, Scofield another
day, ami Herrick another day, took
you in for a small lonn which would
accommodate him on his virtuous
way. I can only sympathize with
you. Von remember the chap who
represented himself to me as a
Harding from ‘Old Virginia,’ and I
recall that 1 presented him to you
and Hint, he took you in as well as
me, and that you and lie fought
over some of the battlefields of the
Civil War without your detecting
any fraud in him, but you did es
cape being touched as I was for a
small draft upon my cash account.
“Enjoy Being Buncoed”
“Somehow, I have always enjoyed
being buncoed by that fellow. He
was so clever about it that he
skinned me without wounding me.
One encounters so many confidence
Men in the activities of our present
day lifp that it is a pleasure to meet
up with an artist who ran skin you
■without your having felt it. The
thing that gets on my nerves most
I? the crutlef and bolder confidence
man who tries to put something
over on me, and 1 know that lie is
trying to do-it, and yet he thinks
me susceptible enough to be wholly
innocent of his plans.
“In other words, when yon are
taken in it is a joy to be taken in
so beautifully that you haven’t the
0 slightest knowledge of it until you
some to a later realization that a
promised loan is not returned. I
do not know but that it is a good ]
thing that we have some of them
in our midst at all times, it servesj
to remind us that one needs to be1
cautious without being suspicious,
and also that the world is full of,

plied in righteous way, might result
in notable accomplishment. More
over, I think it brings us to a help
