KLONDIKE BILL.
THE MAN -WITH LOTS OF MONEY.
'*    -     >-
Having Just  Recently  Returned From
the   Gold   Fields   and   Purchased a
Fine Farm   near   Saline   for   his
Newly Married Niece and Husband, WiU Start Them up in
Life as a  Wedding  Gilt.
A   Realistic   Romance.
A lew days ago there arrived in this
village a gentleman familiarly known
among his old friends as Uncle Bill, or
Klondike Bill, as it was in Alaska,
where he had just received accumulated a fortune in the gold fields. He
had with him his newly married niece
Fanuie, and husband John. They put:
up at the hotel.
"After breakfast," said the old man,)
"1 am ready to go and buy your outfit,
but first of all we will drive out lo the
farm and see how you like it. To ex-
pedit matters, I have ordered a rubber
tired carriage from Fred C. Heininger,
our enterprising livery man." When
the prancing horses drew up in fronti
of the hotel Fannie declared it was the
tbe finest turnout she had ever seen.
"Yes-sir-ee," replied Uncle Bill, "the >
three S's, Speed, Safety and Style is
Fred C. Heininger's coat of arms. So
young folks, when you want to take a
drive either for business or pleasure,
go to bim for a rig every time." Il
was in this stylish turnout that the
trip to the farm and the rounds of the
town were made. For funerals, weddings or picnic parties, this stable has
the finest outfits in the village, phone
61.
"By the way,"' exclaimed Uncle Bill
With a paternal air, "the next thing to
look after is the lumber "for those
other improvements which are so absolutely necessary. Come with me
and I'll introduce you to my old friend
Orrin Parsons whose lumber office is
on Ann Arbor street, near tbe L. S. &
M. S. R. R. station, who is the principal dealer in that line in this .village
and he has a well equipped and conveniently arranged lumber yard and
storehouses and planing mill in connection. He carries the most complete line of building material in this
section of the county, everything from
the sills for the foundation to the
(shingles for the roof, including doors,
windows, newell posts, mouldings,
lath, fine interior finish, etc., etc. It
is pleasant to deal with Qrrin Parsons
for his greatest aim. is to give satisfaction to every customer, and everybody
for miles around Saline buy their lumber, building material and fence posts
from him. He sells everything for
the completion of a modern home."
.'•Now, children, since you have
bought the lumber and shingles for
our new house and barn where can we
fin'd a carpenter to do the work?"
"That's so," said the old man, "and we
don't wont any botcher to do the work
either so in order that we may find a
good man', I will go with you and see if
we cannot get E. C. Rogers to do the
work, that is if we can get him, but I
understand that he is always busy and
has built the best houses and blocks in
Saline, and Mr. Rogers is an architect,
a carpenter and contractor of wide experience and considered the best carpenter and builder in th^e county."
Mr. Rogers got the contract for both
the house and barn and, received the
praise of all for his excellent workmanship. He is now building the new
Baptist church, the Humphrey residence, the Weissinger- residence and
Isaac Shaw's farm/ residence. Call
him up by phone.
"Well, children, we must now go
and see the Saline Artificial Stone Co.
about the building blocks for the foundations, as they are contractors for
artificial stone work and building
blocks, and have them put the stone
foundations under our new bouse and
barn, and also see them about plastering the house." "I wonder," said
John, "if E. C. Rogers, the proprietor,,
could not furnish the flagging and lay
a new artificial stone sidewalk around
and in front of our houses both on the
farm as well as here in Saline."
"Well I guess so," said Uncle Bill,
"as that's one of their special lines,
besides this .company" can furnish all
the artificial stone sill and capings, or
all the cement and lime we require, as
they make that one o{ their special
lines of business."   ~
••Having'proyifled. yau with a cage
for the bird," said Uncle Bill, "now
the, first thing we'll look after is the
furnishings for it." Hereupon Fannie
energetically declared that site had
heard so much about J. F. Weissing-
er"s furniture store, that she had decided to go there. The result -was
that they were ushered into-such a bewildering display o,f furniture of all
kinds and qualities that the girl was at
first at a loss how to select. But she
soon yielded to the seductiveness of a
magnificent parlor set, a bedroom suit
in golden oak finish, that would do
credit to any parlor bedroom. To
this she added an easy' rocker for
Uncle Bill besides a handsome couch.
Also one of those-elegant $20 antique
finished bedroom Sets for the servant
girl and didn't forget a most convenient aud ornamental writing desk for
John at 'J. F. Weissinger's Furniture
store in Saline. "He also does Undertaking and funeral directing," said the
old man.
"And in the 'matter of insurance,"
he continued, "that is of importance,
you'll want a;riskon your new house,
and fire, lightning and tornado insurance on your farm property and as my'
old friend John McKinnon. general insurance agent for fire not only has
lines of the solidest and best companies
but is a trustworthy underwriter, a
large number of companies, all of
which belong to the old reliable category being known for their prompt
and satisfactory adjustment Of losses.-j
It's better to be safe than sorry, &n&
you'll surely be safe in John McKin-
uon's agencies.
"A pretty good start," said the old
man, "and now we will go down street
to Guthard & Schroen's, and buy our
hardware, stoves, tinware, etc."" Here
Fannie's housewifely instincts had full
play in marvels of kitchen apparatus.
There is not an establishment iu this
section that carries a more comprehensive stock of household furnishings
than Guthard & Schroen's," remarked
Uncle Bill. "Eyery possible piece of
kitchen furniture, from a tin dipper to
a cooking range is here in all styles
and varieties." If Fannie failed to accomplish wonders in the culinary art,
it will not be for want of superior
cooking utensils, for ihe purchased a
Round Oak Steel Range, and a Round
Oak Heater, besides a New Process
gasoline stove, a wiokless oil stove and
a refrigerator, together with all equip-
ments needed in a well regulated
kitchen. Also Boydell Bros, paints
and oils in stock. "They also do
spouting and eavestroughing -at Guthard & Schroen's," said Uncle Bill.
"But look here, Uncle," interrupted
the young man as they reached tbe
street, "what about coal? We?ve got
the stoves, hut I reckon they won't be
of much service without fuel. We can
not keep warm on love alone, can we?"
"I am glad you mentioned it," replied
Uncle Bill, "Buying so much in one
day kinder befuddles a fellow. Fortunately, however, it ia only a shoit distance down to J. W. Hull's elevator
and coal office. He is my favorite
dealer and sells good coal that burns
up clear and leaves no clinkers. He
screens his coal to make it clean, so I
will buy my coal of J. W. Hull, the
leading coal and elevator man of Saline. He sells hard and soft coal and
always give full weight and prompt de-
liyery."
"Oh, say, uncle," exclaimed Fannie,
"whore eau I go for dry goods'*1- This
dress is hardly suitable, I must admit." "Well, my girl, if you want to
select from one of the most popular
establishments in town, I will direct
you to C. Burkhart, who carries a
stock of dress goods that for variety
and real value ia aeldonj seen outside
the large cities. He carries all the
new fabrics and you are sure to be
guided right iu your selections. You
will find C. Burkhart pleasant to deal
with and bis employees polite and expert, while hi6 prices cannot be duplicated." Fannie soon selected a pretty
dress, latest style, and one of the celebrated 'J. G. C corsets, and also her
lace curtains, portieres, comforts, carpets, apd "Well, well," laughingly interrupted Uncle Bill, "right here is
the place to buy ladles' ready made
wrappers, skirts, underskirts, and
shirt waists." Fannie's order suggested her thorough appreciation. They
also bought a pair of celebrated Lam-
bertville rubbers for the crowd.
While Uncle Bill was pondering
where to go next, Fannie suddenly
asked: "Uncle, where can I find the
leading ■ millinery establishment?"
"Just the next store below on this
same street," remarked Uncle Bill.
"We will' visit Miss Mabel McKinnon's
millinery stare in the McKinnon 'block
who, by the way, has on hand the "best
and most complete stock of millinery
to be found in this village. You can
get what you want there, the latest
styles and lowest prices 'being her
motto. Her. experience guarantees
that when you hare purchased of Miss
Mabel McKinnon, you have the thing
according to fashion and a satisfaction
that your work has been done by a
competent artist. Her 'selection of
new fall and winter millinery is not
equalled in this village." In a few
