j. F. Grunkan, representing Bur-
ley & Tyrrell, the. well known
crockery house, OF Chicago, was in
town Thursday. Mr.. Grunkan styles
himself as Gideon No. IL, an organ
ization composed of Christian COM
mercial travelling men, who by the
way are not very numerous, but
! Mr.. Grunkan informs us that the
association is growing rapidly and
that the annual state convention of
the Gideons will be held at Fond du
Lac on April 29th and 3Oth. The
order had it's origination at Bosco-
bel, Wisconsin, some four years ago
and came about in this way. The
Central hotel being crowded the
landlord, Mr.. Church, had to double
up his guests as there were no sin
gle rooms left so two travelling men
named John HI. Nicholson and Sam
Hill occupied a double room. Be-
fore rstiring one of them opened his
bible and said to his fellow travelling
man: 1T is customary for me to
read chapter from the bible,
would you like to join mel" It
transplred that they were both
Christian men, and then and there
it occurred to them how nice it
would be to form Christian Tray
cling Mems Association, and the So
ciety owes it's existence to the cir
cumstances as related above. Mr..
Grunkan is an entertaining talker,
a gentleman of refinement and of
literary tastes and the pleasure Of
his company and influence in any
community will of necessity result
in good.
Our public schools closed last
week Friday for weeks vacation.
