The Mercantile company made glad
the heart, and tickled the palate, of
every child in Leavenworth on Christ
mas day by giving each and every one
nice little package of candy. The
pleasure of children is so easily pro-
NOTED and their good will and graft
tude so evident that the old adage, 1T
is more blessed TO give than receive, J"
is made thrice true.
r. T. King, manager of the King
company, who will open up general

Gated this week by DR.. Shore, left for

L eavenworth Mercantile company ac-
companied him, and will be employed

Losekamp's generosity is equaled by
only one thing that we know of in
L eavenworth, and that is the amount
of snow that falls here every winter. If
his generosity could be measured in
feet, like the snow, we would say, 1t
measured about seventeen feet. On
Christmas morning he hitched up his
cutter and loaded it with three hundred
beautifully decorated china plates and
drove to every house in town, greeted
everybody with "A Merry Christmas"
and in his bluff way gave every house
wife plate. Frank always has an orig
inal way of surprising, and at the same
lime turning a good trick
