H. Wattles of this village, who recently, returned from overseas service and who received his honorable discharge papers at Camp Grant last week, arrived home on the late train last Saturday evening. It seems that Howard had made some sort of a wager that none of his. McHenry friends would ever see hist in uniform and in his endeavor to win he sneaked off the rear end of the last coach as the train pulled into this station and "beat it" down the back street to his home on Main street. However, Smithy and his watch dogs were on the job and beat the returned soldier at his own game by appearing at his home just at the time Howard entered and now Butch" is trying to figure out just how he will be able to "slip one over" on the gang.

They are already fit subjects for the reform school and the sooner that they are sent away the better it will be for the village. -v . . i' \. 1 - •; .• •• -• .. . * • 4.

Norager, who is in Russia on a business trip The card contains the information that The Plaindealer is the only American publication that has been received by him since his arrival in the far-away country. Evidently the McHenry summer resort proprietor also arranged to have one or more of the Chicago dailies forwarded to him in Russia as he jestingly asks the question, "Have you a pull with all the kings and censors?"
