In conclusion we can offer no praise
from our pen which will better portray
the standing this bank has in the COM
munity than to direct attention to the
extensive popularity it enjoys.
J. d. BURKHARDT.
This well known and popular business
man of our city was born and raised
among the wheat fields of Wisconsin,
but came to this city in 1885 and be-
gan as a drayman. He is now the
leading wholesale and retail dealer Of
the city. His stock consists of the
very best grades of stock food, flour,
feed, garden and field seed; wood and
coal are also handled.
BUILDING.
He occupies a fine two story brick
building 25XS0 with a hall above, and
in the rear is a feed mill which will
grind all kinds of grain, and has a ca
pacity of grinding 40 bushels of feed
per hour, and can be bought by the
bushel or ton. They also handle the
international stock food, of M%inneapo-
lis, which is the finest cattle food on
the market and a guarantee is furnish
ed with every package. Wood sawed
to order to fit any stove, and the best
grades of hard and soft coal always in
stock. He also handles grass seed of
all kinds; rock and barrel salt. Mr..
Burkhardt is a good business man and
citizen and enjoys a very large patron
age from the citizens of the town as
we'll as the surrounding country, and he
can always be relied upon that he car
ries no goods that will not bear in
spection. He was unfortunately burn
ed out last season, but re-established in
business. Socially he is a United
Workman and a l. O. O. F. and is
prominent in the society circles of this
city.
GAMBLE & FULLER.
The above named gentlemen are
among the most prominent lawyers
and public spirited citizens now prac-
ticing at the bar Of Grant county. They
are men who have brought their keen
determinations and thorough wisdom
to bear not alone in professional paths,
but also for the benefit Of the county
and state, which has been their home
for many years. They hold and merit
a place among the representative legal
practitioners of this section, and the
story of their lives, while not dramatic
in action, is such as offers a typical
example of the alert American spirit.
which has enabled many an individual
to rise from obscurity to a position of
affluence and renown solely through
native talent.
Hon. Berth D. Gamble was educated
at Redfield College, South Dakota, and
is a graduate of the Kent College of
Law of Chicago, and was admitted to
the bar in 1897. He was with the firm
of Walker & Davis of Chicago, two
years. Mr.. Gamble is a relative of

depositors and aids the borrower. In
fact no word from our pen can better
portray the standing of the bank in
the community than does the immense
business it enjoys.
AS a double precaution to protect the
many depositors, they carry a burglar

Bankers Association. In short this is
a solid and reliable monied institution,
fully entitled to an unlimited public
confidence and a most hearty patron
age, both of which we are pleased to
note it enjoys to the fullest extent.

A Game of Leapfror.

Napoleon Bonaparte, as Is well known, was in the habit of walking with his arms crossed upon his chest and his head slightly bent forward. Isabey, the painter, was at Malmaison, and he and some of the first consul's aids-de- camp were having a game of leapfrog on the lawn. Isabey had already jumped over the heads of most of them, when at the turning of path he espied the last player, who, in the req uisite position, seemed to be waiting for the ordeal. lsabey pursued his course without looking, but took his flight so badly 2s only to reach the others shoul- der, and both rolled over and over in the sand.
 To Isabey's consternation, his sup posed fellow player turned out to be Bonaparte, who got up, foaming at the mouth with anger, and, drawing his sword bounced upon the unfortunate artist. Isabey, luckily for himself, bet ter at running than at leaping, took to his heels and, jumping the ditches d. viding the property from the highroad, got over the wall and never stopped until, breathless. he reached the gates of the Tuileries.
 Isabey. 1t was added. went immedi- ately to Mime. Bo1apartes apartments, and she. after having laughed at the mishap. advised him to lie low for a little while.

A SERMON TO SUIT.
The Folks Who Paid For the Dis course Got What They Wanted.

course GOt what Vhey WanteOs
 Many Maine people who live in a certain part of Cumberland county will well remember one Abner-so he was always called in his town. Abner was the wit of the village, and he was commonly selected to takV charge of funerals because he was about the only man in town who had time hang ing on his hands. A citizen died, man who never amounted to much, who was never positively wicked, because that would have required more of an effort than he was willing to make. He was, however, far enough from be- ing good citizen. and Abner knew 1t as well as anybody else.
 Abner was requested to ask certain minister to conduct the service, ana he htched up his old horse and drove to his house. The minister said he would attend and then tried to get little in- formation concerning the late lament ed.
 "What sort of man was hep he asked.
 "Well, about the same as no sort of man at all." replied Abner frankly.
 q suppose his loss will be deeply felt In the communityY said the min- ister.
 "They're all bearing up well under it," said Abner slowly.
 "Was he Christian| asked the Ddnister.
 If he'd been accused of it, the yer dict would have been not guilty and the jury wouldn't have left their seats" /" replied Abner cheerfully.
 Did he attend church?" asked the minister a bit anxiously.
 "I never heard of his doing it." said Abner.
 How did he dieY'. continued the minister.
 "Just the same as he lived, sort of naturally" said Abner.
 "I don't see how Pm to preach much of a sermon under such circumstances" said the minister.
 "The neighbors all said they didn't think they wanted much of sermon, and so they sent me over to see you. said Abner.
 The minister pocketed his wrath and five dollar bill. and after the funeral the satisfied Abner said. Well we got just what we wanted. b'gosh. h."-Lewis- ton Journal.
