A Picture of Bob Burdette.

Bob Burdette is a little man, physic-
ally, with small eyes under overhang-
ing brows. He talks in short, sharp,
quick, curt way, and when he feels in
the mood is as humorous in his speech
as in his writing. He has come to re-
gard funny writing as grind and wants
to get out of it. He is devoted to the
memory of his wife, who died several
years ago. He is very religiously-in
clined and frequently occupies the pull
pit, but to his credit it can be said he
has not tried to make religious clown
of himself. He is called Deacon Bur
dette at home, but it is pretty hard for
the general public to think of him as
deacon. ~ They prefer to look upon
him as ''Bob" He writes a great deal
of serious editorial writing for which he
never gets any credit. He is not dude,
but he does wax. his mustache. He
prefers the quiet Of the country to the
noise Of the city. He hates lecturing
worse than teeth-pulling, but the pub
lie is bound to hear him, and he goes on
the platform to satisfy the popular
clamor and to get 500 night.-'Current
