F. G. MAYES. .: ^ BURIED TREASURES; - . ° St. Paul, Mihn. Way back; in the days of the first long pants the Bennetts lived in the Tabor house (1887). Downstairs was a bedroom off of the "parlor." A sitting, or dining room with a bedroom adjacent and a kind of a rear porch with' windows. A large garden of hard clay soil to the east, separated by a hedge from",Tony Engeln's and Mrs. Gates'. Upstairs were two bedrooms and on a joyous day of artistic exuberance I frescoed the walls of my sisters' east facing room with blue chalk. The were of a very large variety and, as I look back fifty years, regret that I am unable to visualize what our own fruit looked or tasted like. It. was at this period (1$87) that ihe "seventeen years locusts" visited McHenry and at<N every green thing and the lagrippe epidemic ran through the country and we all wore a sack of asafetida suspended from a' string around our necks and did it have an odor*? • Them sure was, "as the fella said," the happy, days. ^ i v REMEMBER W£Y BACK WHEN-- Mary Cobb, grade' teacher, tried without success to make "Sox" En~ geln i pronounce the word THE?

While he *yent for the goods 1 visited a merchant, told my troubles* in his ear-, and he said: "6uy me out. This is a good place for a married man." I asked him why. He replied: "You can get a good living here, but I cannot get any money and my landlord Won't take anthing but money." 1 thought I saw the difficulty. I made a bargain with him and bought him out, and for forty-eight years--up to Aug. 5. 1899--1 was one of McHenry's citizens, v.'. . One of my earliest acquaintances was John McLean, who was constable at that time. I met him down the south road, when I came to McHenry on foot on my way to Wilmot to see the place and Mr. McLean brought me on my way about two .miles. The next day I was bound for Wilmot and H. E, Wightman, then, as now, theever ready helper, learned of my destination and told me he was going as far as Solon Prairie and I might ride with him if I wished. At that time there was no church in McHenry, so we held preaching in a little school house, where we met for all church purposes, and also for all political meetings and elections. There was no place to buy a piece of meat, fresh or salt, so I took my fish-rod and went to the old bridge and caught a fine mess of bass and the landlady came to our rescue- by selling us two nds of salt pork but ho more. soon made acquaintances in my shop and had offers of wood -and eggs, butter, chickens, salt pork, beef by the quarter, and one man wished to trade a sow and pigs, all exchanged for my work, and boys -would come with the cloth to have me cut a pair of pants and want to pay me in wild from the street and Mrs. McCollum fEveryone who can or cannot plan to was our neighbor to the south attend the Centennial should write. ^0 colder house existed m McHenry McHenry was seldom equaled in its and it was there that the bedspnngs ! effort to be on t j have been to]d were full - of frost and we 'slept mthat the 0ld Town has slipped, lacks ?'• f,, 8®met,nJe8 ^ectfd community spirit, I don't believe it corn -husks took the place of the straw, but either way, the contents were emptied in the back yard each fall and .burned.

Wouldn't you and wouldn't I love to live it all over again, just for tonight? Many times have I sat in the open upstairs, east facing window and with dangling legs contemplated a jump to the ground. As I looked, the earth seemed to rise invitingly, teasing me to take the leap that I never took. Hank McLean lived to the north and I can vision him as he approaches with a pail, for water, in each hand. Underneath that window Herb swung a sling-shot around his head and a good-sized rock would sail over the hedge and trees and go bouncing and clattering off of Engeln's roof while, to our joy, they would all come tearing out of the house. It was there that I "picked" twenty- one panes glass out of the house next to the Riverside, with a rubber band sling-shot and No. 3 buckshot. Ed Lawless' place made a fine target, but the shot hit a glancing blow and no damage. Mr. Lawless would come running out and that was the fun. I bought the buckshot when Henry Colby closed out his business in the Riverside. Five cents a pound and the money earned by helping him clean UP the Universalist church. My only defense for such vandalism is that I did not know that the, shot was doing damage at such a distance.
