but SO changed had he become in his
anxiety to make that money for the

Thank you. Jirh,- he said, fervent

see what's going through your head
but I'll accept the favor, for the deal
is bound to be successful. l know
your reason for coming in is just to
help out, and that you won't feel bad
ly because your last $4,000 shares will
be used more as a guarantee for the

Miss Sands could not object to the

In some parts of Dakota the snow lies

he has had the busiest local court in the
county. Besides being justice of the
peace he was a circuit court commits
slOner, United States court commissioner
and referee in bankruptcy for the west
ern district of Wisconsin. His decisions
were seldom reversed on appeal.
In appearance the retiring justice is
much younger than his years would in
dictate. His stalwart frame, ruddy
cheeks and keen blue eyes, undimmed
by glasses, make him a striking figure.
Judge Prentiss' pet aversion is the
bicycle rider who ignores the ordinances
keeping him off the public sidewalks. He
has kept the police department. in hot
water when it has failed to enforce this
ordinance strictly, and several. luckless
riders have felt the effects of the judges
scorn of such proceedings.
Judge Prentiss was born in Vermont
in 1924, and studied law when a young
man. He was admitted to the bar in his
native state in 1S47. During the half
century i'll which he has lived in Wis
cOnsin he has led an active life. For
five years in ante-bellum days he was the
law partner of Luther S. Dixon, later
chief justice of the supreme court of
Wisconsin, the firm practicing at Port
age. This partnership was dissolved on
ly when Judge Dixon was elected to
the circuit court. In 1853 Judge Prem
tiss was elected judge of Columbia coun-
ty and served four years, the court then
having civil jurisdiction. He removed to
La Crosse in 1872 and during practical
ly the entire period since then was court
commissioner until his resignation last
year. He was an active attorney for
many years and represented a number
of large corporations. He is one of the
pioneers in the legal profession in this
state and owns one of the finest law Ii
braries.
