aim to do our share and alittle more"
says L. E. Hunter, the manager of his
Akeley store. Whatever subscription
list comes around In Akeley the luu-
Der company Is expected to head It
and A. l. Cole & Co. to come next
and not very far behind.. Mr.. Cole
has made q hobby Of good roads and
It is in no small part due to his in
duence that Akeley has done a lot Of
road building by subscription with
what aid the county was willing to
furnish. A local company In one case
proposed to give one-half II the COM
munity would make up the other half.
Cole put himself down 1t once for one
half the sum remaining-a much as
the rest together. In such matters he
gives his time as well as his money.
II there IL any meeting On public at
fairs when he is at home he is sure
to be there to help push along what
ever project is under consideration.
With equal liberality he contributes
to thesupport of churches in the little
town. The church anhliations of the
Cole family are Methodist or Congrer
gational. as the local means of grace
may furnish. but II giving to the
churches he is equally liberal to all
denominations.
Personal charactsrlstics. IL
Mr.. Coles tastes and habits are
simple. Outside of the business he is
domestic man, and home is where
he spends his evenings as far as his
business will let him. His tastes and
indulgences are so simple that the
anecdotes which x usually cluster
around man In public life are in his
case hard to find. ....r
a.. L. Cole is all for business" is
the epitome furnished by one friend
after another. His life is business.
His amusement is hard work. His
diversion is chasing from one place of
business to another. He comes in at
evening from an outside town where
business calls him, goes direct to his
store and puts In busy hour or two
with his manager; thence straight to
his family, and out again next morning
as soon as the train leaves.
Only in the last year or two, as his
circumstances became easier, he has
learned to give little time to play
and get diversion otherwise than in
his business pursuits. At Walker he
has his summer cottage on bank
overlooking Cass lake and he is actu-
ally learning the last two years to
loaf. There also he has a gasoline
launch, the only plaything he vas ever
known to keep. Having his summer
cottage and launch he gets ;od deal
Of fun out Of them. He exc & ses his
natural sociability, and ha people
coming and going all summel and his
launch is as busy as a hotel IS.
