 stopping at Eagle Park on the down trip, 

 and Kdgewater coining back. The hour 

 set for the start was y2:.Vt and .soon after 

 we were under way a dinner was laid and 

 enjoyed by the more than sixty ladies and

(ieorge l". .lohnson. of tin- (jiiinnessi'C 

 Log \ l.iiiiibcr Company of .Milwaukee, 

 was anotlier visitor. His cigars are very 

 giMid. but they are most too strong for 

 us. We had a heart-to-heart talk with 

 George .-ibout getting married and he said 

 he w:is giving the matter serious consid- 

 eration. He showed us, in strict contl- 

 dencc. a set of sliell combs, such as ladies 

 use in doing up their hair. They were 

 mighty line and (Jeovge said he intended 

 to make a certain *>(>ung lady a present of 

 them, and if she seemed to like them he 

 was going to pop the question to her. He 

 said he paid $17 for the three combs, and 

 that the sales girl at Marshall Field's said 

 they were genuine shell and tiiat any lady 

 to whom he gave them would think well 

 of him. (Jeorge said he thought the girl 

 at Fiehl's was working a "shell game"" on 

 him and wanted lo know if we thought 

 the ])rice was about right. We told him it 

 had been so long since we had bought any- 

 thing of the kind we could not say. but 

 refi'ireil him to Hilly .Sinitli ol Cairo, as 

 being )iiob.ibly aide to tell hjiii the market 

 jirice of siuh things.

 Lumber ("ompany of South Bend, was an- 

 other welcome caller. Charley"s cigars are 

 mighty good — almost as good as Burk- 

 holdcr's- and what they lack in quality, 

 if anything, is more than made uii in 

 quant ity. (L"ome again, Charley.
