GRAND RAPIDS. 

 Kimball had it figured out that I ought 

 to go South by the way of Grand Rapids. 

 Mich. I agreed with him. but thought it 

 was a funny way to go South. I found 

 the Grand Rapids boys feeling well and 

 doing well. I renewed all my contracts 

 and had a good time visiting among the 

 lumbermen, and then around the hotel I 

 met Kelley and Scheve, and there I got 

 things mixed. 



It was Just a few minutes until noon 

 when I met Kelley and he invited me to 

 lunch; almost immediately afterward 

 Scheve dropped in, and he invited me to 

 lunch with him. I am not finding fault 

 with anyone, but I cannot use two invi- 

 tations to lunch on the same day. Why 

 couldn't they come on separate days? 



Then Scheve took me to the show. I 

 promised I wouldn't say anything about 

 it. but the sbow was "rotten." However. 

 I promised Scheve I wouldn't say anything 

 about it, and I won't. It was the only 

 show in town, and not, strictly speaking, 

 high class. It was the rottenest show I 

 ever saw, and I have seen some pretty 

 rotten shows in my time. We would have 

 gone away before it let out, but we had 

 a curiosity to see how rotten a show could 

 get. I5very act was rotten, but the suc- 

 ceeding act was sure to be worse, but I 

 promised Scheve I wouldn't say anything 

 about it, and I won't. 



It will be a dark secret between Scheve 

 and myself. 



BlU RAPIDS. 

 I thought, being so near and having a 

 pass, and all. I would run up to Big Rap- 

 ids and get acquainted with Ward Bros. 



I understand that the first settlers called 

 the town Big Rapids, thinking that that 

 was as high sounding a name as they 

 could get, but someone came along and 

 scooped them by naming a town a little 

 further down the river "Grand Rapids," 

 since which time Big Rapids has taken a 

 back seat. 



I called on Ward Bros., and am glad 

 I did. I met one of the Mr. Wards (I sup- 

 pose his name was Ward, but whatever 

 his name, he is an intelligent and thought- 

 ful man), and I spent a couple of hours 

 discussing the topics of the day. He is 

 one of the intelligent men scattered about 

 the country who read the Hardwood 

 Record. 



In fact, there is a school of us, and 

 Mr. Ward stands well up toward the head 

 of the class. We did not agree upon all 

 subjects, but he showed himself to he 

 an independent thinker and reasoner. 



I also met while in his office a man 

 whom the man I took to be Mr. Ward 

 called the "Doctor." He didn't agree with 



either of us, and said so; and a tall, slim 

 young man, who had different views from 

 any of us and was not backward about 

 expressing them, and altogether we had 

 an enjoyable time. 



WILL STONE MARRIED. 



Will Stone is married. Wouldn't that 

 jar you? Not that there is anything sur- 

 prising about it. Will is of marriageable 

 age, come to think of it, but that fact 

 shows that Tom Stone and I are getting 

 old. but I don't care, and if I wasn't mar- 

 ried and had a large and interesting fam- 

 ily I should feel like doing as Will has 

 done, and I believe that Tom would, too. 



But this isn't about Tom Stone or I; 

 it's about Will; and Will is married, and 

 to Miss Helen Breneman, the daughter of 

 Herbert L. Breneman of this city. He 

 has taken the step that means so much. 

 And it only seems a few days ago when 

 Will was comparatively a young man, go- 

 ing out among the girls. 



And he has done right. Every young 

 man should get married. And Will is a 

 good boy; he is polite to his elders, for 

 one thing-^and I like to see a boy polite 

 tc his elders. It doesn't cost anything, 

 and even if the boy knows more, or 

 thinks he knows more, than those who 

 are older than he, it isn't always the 

 part of wisdom to let on. 



And Will has followed his father's foot- 

 steps and gone into the lumber business. 

 There is no telling what he will be. for 

 he has a long life before him. Tom 

 wasn't a lumberman when he was of Will's 

 age. and I guess he had no thought of 

 being. 



And he learned the lumber business in 

 a good school. There are some men I 

 would no more let a boy of mine learn 

 the lumber business from than I would 

 take him out and shoot him. But Will 

 learned the lumber business of his father, 

 who is a square man as well as a success- 

 ful one. I mean Tom Stone, of the T. B. 

 Stone Lumber Company of Cincinnati. 



I am talking a good deal about Tom 

 Stone and some about myself in Will's 

 write-up, but I know Will won't object, 

 and as a person gets older the tendeijcy 

 to talk about himself is more pronounced. 

 You see the time is getting short and we 

 cannot trust to anyone else to talk about 

 us, but Will has got lots of time. 



God bless the young people! They 

 have got a long life before them and lots 

 to learn. But Will is an intelligent boy, 

 willing to listen to those who are older, 

 and will learn. Especially if he believes 

 all that is told him. 



His wedding trip embraced Colorado, 

 and the West generally. And he has now 

 returned and has settled down to busi-
