It is on a McHSnry youth, and the narrator pledged me hia sacred word of honor that It is true. My informant said that re­ cently a young man from McHenry went to a neighboring town to visit a girl. A traveling man, drummer or commer­ cial tourist sess more of real life than does any othsr man on earth. And »*• nally he Mijoys it. But once in a while life is too real even for him. Such was the case with a traveling man who visit­ ed McHenry Hot long ago. He had a sad experience at Woodstock, and told me hkt tale of woe in the following words: The two youag peopletook a stroll on the street. Suddenly the youth put his hand in hfa pocket and was very mueh sarpriesd* m the following words, which hs soliloquised, will show: MHello, here's a dollar I didn't know I had.

Soon a restaurant was reached and the gallant lad, looking proudly at his bonnie lassie* said, '.^me along in, dearest." Tlse oysters were placed on the table. None had ey<?r qtsit® ao good. Tlie lunch had been finished and the tima for paying came. The youth placed in the waiter5# hand the "dollar," when that usually affable gentleman sternly re­ sponded: "That is not a dollar, nir! IT has a lady's photograph in it." The amassment and chargin of the wooer can be more easily imagined thaa de­ scribed. • # • ' One of the reliable residents of this vil- lags,who formerly lived IO|another town, tells me a good egg story. He says he once entered a grocery store in the town in which he resided before he came to McHenry, when the following dialogue ensued between himself and the grocery Customer, (which is the name we give our informant)--Got any trash eggs today? Grocer--Just step back, FBV | jgot some fine ones. ^ wren: "About a year ago I made my llrsttrip to Woodstock. There I observed on the utreet a pretty girl of eighteen summers. She also observed me. I flirted with he and she flirted with me. She made me a privileged character by inviting me to her home. It was about 8 o'clock in the evening when I asesnded tfie steps that led to the parlor. We talked only a short time, in fact we had hardly finish­ ed discussing the weather, when my new girl's father entered the room, and re­ quested her to leave him alone with me for a short time. The old man's actions were belligerent.4 I oould tell that in a minute. When the girl had retired he shook his fist in my face and told me. in language more forcible than polite, to "get out" as fast as I could, which of eourseX Oid. I SEVER went back." ^ -•. ,,® "*'v :*• «». "Pretty and," said another traveling man, who was listening to the narra­ tion, "but not quite as sad as my own experience in the same town." "The girl that (fives way to a desire to gad the streets, to cultivate the acquain­ tance of young men and simpering simple­ tons, is laying the foundation of a useless after life," says this most estimable lady. "Ten to one when she marries she will develop into a gossip, if no greater mis- foitune befalls her. It is the girl of good common sense, the girl that loves home and helps her mother, that wins ths model roan and becomes an ornament to womanhood. The girl that does this and devotes some time to reading and strives for the graces and mental culture commands the respect and esteem of everybody, while the gadding street or> nament only wins the admiration of those whose ambitions are NOT, worth having."

Inquest on the Skeletons Found McClelland Pond. CENTBALIA. Ills., Nov. 21.--The second session of the coroner's inquest on the skeletons found in the McClelland pond closed without completing its work. Thirty-four witnesses were examined by State's Attorney Jennings, making fifty in ail who have given evidence since the in­ vestigation commenced. Two strong points of identification were brought out. Daniel Coppie and Jacob Anderick gave testimony as to a gold-filled tooth belongs tog to Alex McClelland, on® of the men who disappeared suddenly from this vicin­ ity in 1881. When the jawbone of the skeleton containing the filled tooth waa handed to Coppie he examined it closely and remarked; "That looks awfully like Alex's tooth." Coppie and McClelland were much together. The old pccketbook found with the hones was also declared to be exactly ^ike one>tex McClelland ear- riad. Other witnesses corroborated Cop- pic's statements. George Tephar of St. Louis testified that John A. McClelland told him one jear ago that his father was dead. Will­ iam Zaeller testified that John told him that his father died in Texss. John A, McClelland'* testimony was that the last time he heard from his father he was in Mexico herding sheep, and he has stated repeatedly since this excitement has come up that his father is yet alive. The cor­ oner adjourned the' inquest to Friday, Nov. 24, at which time about twsnty«mora witnesses will be examined. Nine Prisoners Break Jail.
