Mneller, aerie physician. Some of the benefits of the Fraternal Order of Eagles may be briefly summed up as follows: First: Every member of the order-is entitled to receive the attendance of the aerie physician, both for himself and family, free of charge, in all cases of sickness, except obstetrics. Second: A sick member is entitled to receive from the general funds of the ai&rie such benefits as may be fixed by the by-laws; generally speaking, each aerie pays the sum of ft.00 per day, during the first ten (tO) weeks of such disability and such further amount of benefits for subsequent weeks' continued sickness as the conditions may justify. Third: The attention of the visiting committee of the aerie, whose doty it if to call upon him daily and render such assistance as he may reqnire. Fourth: Any member in distress or needy circumstances has the right to apply to any aerie of the order, and they are bound to render such help as may be authorized by the aerie of which he is a member. Fifth; In case of the decease of a member, the aerie immediately pays in to the hands of his family a sufficient sum with which to defray funeral ex­ penses, this amount being also regulat­ ed by the by-laws of hie aerie. Sixth: The worthy president of any aerie ie empowered to render such fi­ nancial assistance as may be required in case of emergency without first submit­ ting it to the vote of the aerie, thup giving a member immediate assistance in time of need. Seventh: The monthly dues are placed at a figure within the reach of all, and when it is considered that a member is entitled to such benefits iu the order as are vouchsafed by the con- stitiftion and laws, he cannot help be ing attracted by its beneficiary qualifi cations. Eighth: The social feature of our order is one of great attractiveness, nn like that of any othir fraternal organi zation, being entirely new and up-to date in every particular. Wedding Dance.

The manufacture of cheese from goats milk will be begun for the first time in this country by the Oatman Condensed Milk company of Dundee, it was report ed Tuesday. The substitution was deemed necessary because of the scar­ city of cows' milk, nearly all of which is shipped to Chicago. Heretofore all the cheese made from goats' milk pro curable in the United States has been imported from Switzerland. A carload of 250 goats has arrived in Dundee from Alabama, and the making of the cheese will be started at once. President Taft will appoint L. D Nish of Elgin census supervisor for this district, and Mr. Nish will soon begin the task of appointing an army of enum­ erators. The work will require a largt number of enumerators, as after it has been started it must be completed with in a fortnight. For the purpose of tak ing the oensus, states are divided into districts with a supervisor at the head of each.

The pool is built of cement, and ranges in depth from eighteen inches to five feet. Clear spring water runs into it all the time, making it ideal and safe for the children to bathe.

A Bif Hurricane Is Scheduled to 8trlke Woodstock, Tuesday, Sept. 7. This will not be a terriole windstorm, as might be supposed from the above head, but Mr. Ingram's wonderful trot ting ostrich, Hurricane, the fastest bird in the world, which has been secured at great expense as a special free attraction for the McHenry county fair, 8ept 7-10. The ostrich has always been held in fiction to be the most stupid of all ani­ mals. We have all read of its hiding its head in the sand when closely pur­ sued, thinking that as it could not see its enemies likewise Were unable to dis­ cover it. This is not true. It does not even tuck its head under its wing when it rests at night; on the contrary, hold­ ing its long neck upright and rigid. Neither does it inhabit the desert, re­ quiring, as it does, large quantities of green stuff and water. It makes its home near the desert, where it makee its nest in the corase sand. The neat consists of a hole about the size of an ordinary washtub, which is dug by the male bird with its large breastbone. The female lays an egg every other day un­ til from twelve to eighteen eggs are laid. Both birds take their turns at setting, the male at night and the fe­ male by day. It requires from forty- two to forty-five days to make a hatch­ ing. The chicks grow very rapidly at first; in the first six months they grow about a foot a month, after that more slowly. For the first six months it is impossible to distinguish the differenoe between the chicks. At this time the male bird takes on pink beak and shins aud black and white plumage, the color of the female remaining grey. The birds are plucked every nine months, beginning when they are nine months old. The feathers are cut, not pulled, and only ripe plumes are taken. To cut or pull an unripe feather would not only cause the bird excruciating pain, but the socket would close and a feather would never grow in the same place again. The old stub is allowed to remain nntil the new feather shoves it out. During the breeding season the male bird is extremely ferocious and will at­ tack his keeper as quickly as he would a stranger. They cannot kick back 'ward, but strike forward and down ward. They can deliver a blow the height of a man's shoulder, and a blow fairly landed will rip a man or beast wide opfen as tho struck with some Bharp instrument. Owing to their peculiarly constructed knee, and the fact that it is impossible for them to see underneath them, they cannot strike a person lying on the ground. Thus a keeper when attacked throws himself fiat and allows the bird to jump over and over his body until he tires or is driven away. Hurricane, the giant trotting ostrich which will trot two exhibition heats each afternoon before the grandstand at the McHeury county fair at Woodstock is one of the largest birds in the world, as well as the fastest. He stands nearly ten feet high and weighs almost four hundred pounds. In addition to the trotting exhibitions he will be kept on free exhibition dnring the day with his trainer and driver in constant attend­ ance, who will be pleased to answer any questions that visitors may ask, and overy one is invited to pay him a visit.

Next Saturday evening, September 4, the annual masquerade dance takes place at the Pistakee Yacht clnb pavil­ ion and aa most of the resorters expect to leave for their winter homes the coming week^this will undoubtedly be the last big event pnlled off at the club house this season. An immense orowd is looked for as the masquerade always proves itself an enjoyable event. Qnite a number of the resorters along Fox river and the lakes will return to their homes next week, especially those having children to send to school. A number of cottages are already closed for the season and by the end of the coming week things will be pretty quiet at our resorts. Ths proprietors of the different hotels are praying tor warmer'weather as next Sunday and Monday generally prove to be the two banner days of the year. A dancing party and lawn festival is advertised to take plaoe at the While- away family resort, located on the east bank of Fox river, a short distance north of the Rosedale greenhouse, next Saturday evening, Sept. 4. The While- away is one of the numerous pleasant resorts along the Fox and has this year enjoyed a fine patronage. The event next Saturday evening promises to be an enjoyable one and a general invita­ tion is extended the public. The excursion boat "Navigator" carried a jolly crowd of sight-seekers to Grass lake and the lotus beds last Sunday. The boat left the Riverside pier with the following on board at nine o'clock: Mrs. Ford, McHenry; Leo and Mamie Smith, Emerald Park; Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Flanders and chil­ dren, Misses Edna Colby and Alice Smith, North Crystal Lake; Mfrs, Vern Smith and Miss Hazel Thuriwell of Lincoln, Neb. All enjoyed themselves immensely, especially the young lady from Nebraska. The motor boat race for the Oak Park resort cup at Pistakee Bay last Sunday afternoon again brought out a large crowd of spectators as well as many contestants, nearly forty boats taking part in the raoe. The race was won by the "Maple Leaf," owned by William Small of Pistakee Bay. The winner of the race feels highly elated over his good fortune, and indications are that this form of Bport will be followed more vigorously than ever before by Mr. Small. McHenry was well represented both in the race and among the specta­ tors. Misses Helen O'Donnell, Margaret Kinselly, Messrs. T. Garrity, David A. Naughton and John A.

They arrived in Mc Henry just before the noon hour, and, after partaking of dinner at that point, spent a few hours in doing the town. Before their departure they expressed themselves as having had a most pleas ant time and hoped to make the city another visit before returning to their Chicago homes. Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Jack, whose boat, the "Anna J.," woa the Stilling resort cup at the motor boat race held at Pis takee Bay on Sunday, August 32, cele­ brated the victory by entertaining a few of their friends at a champagne sapper served by Landlord Haeauc at Springfield, 111., last week: Boat Owners' Dock company, $600, own and maintain a dock on shore of Fox lake; Charles P. Couch. Charles W. Wilson, Henry Kleine. At first glance the above would seem to mean nothing, but in reality it is an important departure for the town of Fox Lake. It means that the popular Lake oounty resort will be made more popular than ever, for with the building of the proposed dock the resort will have increased in value. At the present time there are quite a number of passenger and excursion boats that ply between Pistakee Bay and Fox Lake, carrying people to and fro between the railroad stations. 'These little boats have difficulty in landing, as the land along the lake shore is all owned by private individuals who make a strenuous objeetibn. Then, too, it is necessary for the people to walk thru a disagreeable marsh to reach the lake shore. With the incorporation of this com­ pany and the building of a dock it is seen that there will be a change for the better. The members of the corpora­ tion will charge each of the boats for the right to make a landing and in this way they will make good on the invest­ ment, while the boat companies them­ selves can afford to pay became of the good patronage that they get OUR WEEKLY PICK-UPS ITEMS PICKED UP ABOUT DURING THE WEEK.
