I got up. in the morning with it, I breakfasted, dined ami supped with it. 1 fussed, fumed, fretted with it, the title was ever before me, "A Dangerous Friend.' If 1 read a newspaper I was sure to find something in regard to "A Dangerous Friend." If I took up a magazine it was there if I read history, fiction, the Bible, 1 could always find some reference to "A Dangerous Friend. " In daily life I was snre to run np against one. I had to tell the public, I had to get it ont of my system, I bad to give them my ideas, it was my message, I worked night and day, 1 presented it in many ways. I cnt it down and then trimmed it np, I took out a plank here and put in a plank there, I pressed it down here and glossed it over there until it looked like a platform of some political party, and the results, look, there in big letters, "A Dangerous Friend," by Fred G.

Thirsty citizens of that village and vicinity who wish to be refreshed on Sunday now go to Solon Mills where tbey have no saloon, only a blind pig which is not supposed officially to exist at all and to which therefore Sunday is the same as any other day. The closing at Spring Grove came after the patience of tbe residents of that village had been taxed to the ntmost. Tbe day was given over to carousing and wild scenes were of regular weekly occur­ rence. The limit camewben a well" known citizen paraded tbe streets with several articles of conventional garb missing from his person.

All public schools and public gather ings at Hinckley have been stopped on account of an epidemic of scarlet fever. There are thirty six cases of scarlet fever and three of diphtheria, and they are all under quarantine. There are only three doctors in the town and two of these are confined to their homes with dij ltheria. Everything is being done to prevent the further spread of the disease. The general prevalence of diphtheria thruout the city fif Waukegan has caused alarm and the physicians of the city have issued an edict of caution. The majority of oases seem to be on the south side, altho there are a few cases scattered in other parts of the city. It intimated that unless there is a de­ crease in the number of cases it may be necessary to close the city schools for a time to prevent contagion. Since the pearl hunting season closed last Thursday Trask & Plain of Aurora have bought |5,000 worth of pearls and expect before the week is over that they will have handed out close to $10,000 for stones found along the banks of the Fox river in this vicinity. They will send them to New York, the New York jew elers declaring that the Fox river pearls are tbe best in the world, and several big jewelry honses have given orders to buy all the Fox river pearls possible. A gentleman boarded a car and sat down beside a very stout lady who ap­ peared agitated. Scarcely was he seat­ ed when she said, "Will you please help me off the car at the next station ?

The stork had arrived with a bo true, ing baby boy, and the household was rejoicing. Somebody suggested that they weigh tbe baby. They hunted all over the house for scales, but tbe weigh­ ing apparatus was not to be found Then they suggested that father go to the butcher shop, five blocks away, and borrow the necessary scales. Just at this jnnctnre the iceman drove up, and there was a chorus of "Here comes the ice man--we'll have him weigh the baby." They tied the little fellow up in a swinging bundle and hung him on the hook of the ice man's scales. He weigh­ ed just exactly forty-eight pounds. Over 5,000 people heard Rev. W. A. Sunday at Jacksonville Friday night. The evangelist was much wrought up over the alleged fact that a subscription had been started for a newsjiaper to fight him and his work. Mr. Sunday had on his fighting clothes, and after stating that he was a graduate of four different gymnasiums, he was willing to meet any man, and jumping, with great vehemence, from the platform, rushed down the left aisle and asked any man that had said he was a grafter to step out. All the people arose and handkerchiefs were waved in the air and much excitement prevailed. Jack­ sonville has never witnessed such a scene. It is quite certain that Sunday does not get his idea of evangelism from Christ's Sermon on the Mount. A new assortment of elegant 10 -een goods at Vycital's hardware store.
