A Realistic Romance.
A few days ago there arrived in this
city II gentleman familiarly known
among his old friends as Uncle Bill or
klondike Bill, as it was in Alaska where
he had just recently accumulated for
tune i'll the gold fields. He had with him
his newly married niece Fam ie nd hus-
band John
They went direct to the Williams House
TINS, said he, is a typical hotel of the
first class. l have known Geo. A. Alex
ander, the proprietor, for years, and he
is mine host after mine own heart. A
thorough business man, endowed with
that delightful intuition that makes
guests feel at home, comfortable, con
tented ami in mighty good luck, and is
headquarters for commercial men The
house is one of convenience and has lust
recently been thoroughly renovated
throughout. The apartments are well
furnished, and the cuisine all that n su-
perior chef and unlimited orders on the
market can make It. ! have engaged
rooms here for You to occupy until your
house lis i'll readiness" With these re-
marks Uncle Bill gracionsly presented
the deed Of the fine farm he had bought
for them
After breakfast said the old man. Il
am ready to go and buy your outfit, but
first of all we must drive ont to the farm
and see how you like it, To expedite
matters | have ordered a carriage from
Henry Schmidt, our enterplising livery
man. When the fine carriage with elab-
crate trappings and prancing horses drew
up i'll front of the Williams House, Fan
ME declared it the finest turnout she had
ever seen. ''Yes-sir-ee' repliad Uncle
Bill, the three SIS, Speed, Safety and
Style, is Henry Schmidt's coat of arms.
So, young folks, when you want to take
drive either for business or pleasure, 60
to him for a rig every time 1t was in
this stylish turnout that the trip to the
farm and the rounds of the city We're
made. For funeral outfits this is the best
in the city and rates reasonable.
Now where to?' asked the polite driv-
er Us the trio entered the conveyance.
Uncle Bill looked askance at his wards.
'Oh goodness knows, there's lots to buy,
remarked Fannie. Then suppose we
buy lots first, quoth John without turn

and started for Franz d. Schmitz real
estate, insurance and loan Offices, No.

Il can always depend upon this firm fol
| bargains III real estate, as they never
| hold ont false lights to induce people tc
buy. What they tell you about property
or insurance may be set down as solid
facts and their Judgment on the good
things is par excellence. The party was
not long in making dicker for nice
house on a pleasant street in Manitowoc
besides farm which Uncle Bill knew tC
be splendid investment
| Now. Uncle said John, since we
have the farm we should get an abstract
Of title; is there any person here we could

manager of The Manitowoc County All

asbtracts of title and Mr. Lindstedt makes
specially Of furnishing money on Isl
mortgage at low rate of interest, and
as he has been here for a long time he
can be thoroughly relied upon to do the
business in that line for rs. His charges
are always very reasonable too, and when
we get an abstract of title or a money
loan from him we know it is al right
| as he makes that his business. and Nc
flaw in title escapes him.
And in the matter If insurance, he
