Rice Lake, from whence I draw
my pay, is lively town of 1000 peO-
pie, and is getting to the front in all
kinds of agricultural and manufacture
ing pursuits" remarked Mr.. Bone. "Our
chief industry, you might say, is the
making of lumber. We are located in
a very rich timber belt and have excel
lent shipping facilities on the 500 and
the Omaha roads. / think our town
has a bright future before it."
Editor Bone went into the army when
he was sixteen years of age, and when
he was mustered out, was just old
enough to vote. He fought with dis
tinction in the civil war; and is an en-
tkuSiastic veteran. He says he has not
always been as fat as he is now. When
he was tWenty-eight years old he
weighed but 125 pounds, and feels that
young men of the present era should
feel some encouragement from his ex-
perience After the war, Mr.. Bone COM
menced the thrilling, ever adventurous
life of a country cOmpositor and says
that today, he is the champion fat man
typesetter of the world He is ready
to dispute the title with any and all
corners.
