As there is so much agitation over the present assessment of property the following quotation is very applicable: "There is one passage on Holy Writ in which all the powers in the earth agree, and it is this: And there went out among them in those days a decree that ' Ull the world should be taxed," The Mailing of a Journalist. Oddly enough, 110 book has ever been published which may be fairly called an adequate treatment of the business of American journalism It is to fill this gap that Julian Ralph, "the best reporter in the world," has written for the Saturday Evening Post, of Philadelphia, a serifes of twelve papers on The Making of a Journalist. Mr. Ralph writes from the view point of one who has reached the top of his profession; who has labored unceas­ ingly in the newspaper field for twenty-five years; who has pursued the elusive thing called "news" into every corner of the globe, and knows the business from Alpha to Omega. To young men who would make journalism their life work Mr. Ralph says, "Don't"; bnt, having thus freed his conscience, he elaljorates entertain­ ingly with anecdote and reminiscence the joys, the vicissitudes and exper­ iences of the young man who has ink in his blood. The series will begin in the Post of August 12. by excessive perspiration, but it is a condition of health rather to be sought than to be avoided. Too much of a *ood thing, however, is not desirable. Proper care of the body, proper diet, proper exercise, with proper bathing, will produce the normal condition--in which condition the heat will not oppress any one. Let me especially caution against the too sudden checking of perspiration. Millions of canals or tubes from the inner part of the body >pen their little mouths at the surface, and through these channels, as ceaseless is the flow of time, a fluid containing the wastes and impurities of the system is passing out ward and is emptied out of the skin. This fluid must have exit or we die in a few hours. If it does not have vent at the surface of jfche body it <fiust have some internal escape. Nature abhors shocks as she does a vacuum. Heat distends the mouth of these ducts and promotes a larger' and more rapid flow of the contained fluid; >n the other hand, cold contracts them, ind the fiuid is at first arrested, then lammed up, and then it rebounds. If these mouths are gradually closed Nature has time to adapt herself to the circumstances by opening her channels nto the great internal waterways of the body, and no harm follows; hence the safety and wisdow of cooling off slowly ifter any exertion, and the danger of cooling off rapidly under the same circumstances. Encourage perspiration under proper conditions and with proper precautions. Always keep the surface )f the body warm and clean, and at the end of the season you will be mentally, morally and physically sound". HeaiHl^at the Riverside Hotel. "McHenry is a lovely place in summer," said C. F. Shubbe, of Chi- •ago, "For the past number of years I lave been coming here regulary and •teem to enjoy it more each season. Why if the business men of this place would club together and raisib money enough to clean out the river and put in some other needed improvements there are few places I know of that would be able to get more people from Chicago than McHenry. I have traveled over this entire country and do not know of any place that nature has done more for than this very same place and if the people living here would only do their part you would have an ideal summer resort." ' 'Talk of catching fish," said Adolph Pike as he sat in the shade of the tree on the Riverside lawn last Sunday morning, "yesterday we caught forty-five fish in exactly fifty minutes. I tell you they were fish and not minnows. Of course we do not always catch as many bnt then we usually get our share." Mr. Pike seemed in earnest and said he could prove his "fish story. "• He did not say how many were in the party, bow- ever. E. L. Spcnce Located In Chicago. Judge E. L. Spence, for several years an honored member of McHenry county journalism, being located at both Hunt ley and Algonquin, disposing of the Arrow at the latter place about two months ago, has located in business in ^iiicago. His new business will be along the line of newspaper work. He has established the Union Correspond­ ence Bureau, at 697 W. Lake street, the object of which is to furnish to news­ papers correspondence relating to the dairy interests of this section of country and also articles relating to inventions and scientific and ethical subjects.-- Herald, Harvard; Dedicate Northern Illinois Normal The official programme for the three days carnival attending the dedication of the northern Illinois normal school at DeKalb Sept. 21, 22, and 28 is about completed. Governor Tanner, former Governor Altgeld, Senator Berry and Speaker Sherman of the legislature have been secured to speak. Prominent educators from several states will be present. One of the features of the celebration will be the crowning of the queen of the carnival, who must be a DeKalb county woman, and she will be decided on by a popular vote. How Is This for McHenry T ,st Saturday between the hours of 25 and 5:10 p. m. one hundred teams, actual count, passed by the Plain- ealer office.

LINCOLN'S HOMS AS OF OLD. Appears as when Occupied Lincoln Family fcT tlM The work of restoring and repairing the homestead at Springfield has just been completed, and the old residence is as staunch as ever and has more nearly resumed the appearance and condition in which it was when occupied by the Lincoln family, than at any time since they vacated it. Some of the doors and woodwork, which were of - natural walnut, and which had been painted over by some of the tenants, have been restored to their original color; the floors have been renewed, the walls strengthened, the outside of the building and fences painted in the color of the oldein time, and the antiquated heating apparatus and plumbing replaced with more mod­ ern fixtures. / Mid Summer Announcement. The Mid-summer Announcement of the Moody Bible Institute is nov out and says that the Special Summer Course, conducted by Rev., James M% Gray, D. D., is even more largely attended than last year. Some of the classes are being held evenings to ac­ commodate working people and number upward of eight to ten hundred. For August and September, the work will cover in the Old Testament historical books, the periods of the Judges and earlier Kings of Israel, and in the New Testament, the deeper truths concern­ ing the work of Christ as broujght out in the epistles. As introductory to this last, the class will be carried through a careful study of the book of Leviticus in which a rich feast is promised to Bible lovers and earnest Christians. Side by side with these two courses is another which aims to help beginners in the work of interpreting the Bible for themselves and preparing Bible readings. Arrangements also have been made with Miss Mabel Hall, well known as representing the International Pri­ mary Union, to give weekly lessons in the course to both men and women on such topics as the instincts of child nature, conduct of children's meetings, construction of Bible lessons for child­ ren, appliances for Primary work etc., to all of which the public is invited absolutely without cost. Among those in attendance this year are a large number of ministers, evan­ gelists, and teachers, the latter in some cases representing smaller colleges and other institutions where it is intended to introduce Bible teaching and SALE--Two houses and lots In West McHenry, belonging to Mrs. J.

'Best, an optician, with offices in Chicago, who has made prof- fewrional visits to McHenrv once a month for the last three years, died suddenly at his home on Tuesday morning July 25. Dr. Best was in Mc Henry on Saturday, Sunday and a part of Monday and left on the 6:10 train for Chicago. He seemed in his usual good health when he arrived home that evening and retired at an early hour. About twelve o'clock his daughter, who was sleeping in an adjoining room, was awakened by his heavy breathing and at once summoned aid. Just before the physician arrived Dr. Best died. Heart failure was given as the cause. Dr. Best was well known here and had built up a large practice. A Large Increase.
