F BOARDS of Education should adopt / prohibitory laws against the cigarette and not allow students to attend school V if they are addicted to their use either in or out of school hours. A MAIDEN lady in Lockport keeps Ja parrot that swears and a monkey that chews tobacco. She says that between the two she doesn't miss a husband very much. Rather hard on the men. / THE tan shoe, of a decidedly lighter shade than heretofore flashed upon the public gaze, is now all the rage. From a distance it is difficult to say whether the fashion plate is shod or in his stock­ ing feet. OUR extreme warm weather caught a Bevere cold on Saturday last, and ice as thick as a window glass was seen on Sun­ day morning. Monday was cold enough for a good lire and a heavy overcoat was not uncomfortable when on the street. A LITTLE fellow who had his wits about him when the collection basket was pass­ ed in church noticed that his mother dropped in a cent. On the way home she was finding fault with the sermon, and he administered a severe rebuke by "remarking: "Well, mother, what can jou expect for a cent? " MERCHANTS shoiild be consistent in do­ ing their trading. Don't go abroad yourself and then howl if would-be-pa trons do likewise. The dealer who courts trade for himself must study to win it by meeting his customers demands for va­ riety, quality and honest valueV Human nature is built on much the same lines and it is not good policy if it is good business to set a brand on the goods of a dealer in other \ lines of trade by going abroad to buy. The example is liable to react on yourself. You can't .make yourself independent of everybody right to others. PERSONAL P. S. MAYES! of Pingree GroVe, was" on our streets on Monday.

THE boys had a high old time catching Bill Fish last week. We understand they hooked up 79 of these pirates one day, and it was not much of a day for Bill Fish either. There ought to be a bounty on these pests. "THE following new advertisements can be found in our paper to-day: John Evanson & Co., N. J. Justen, Simon Stoffel, and Simon Bros., West McHenry; T.J.Walsh, Perry & Owen, McHenry; T. V. Slocum, Wauconda; Theo. F. Swan, Elgin, and Gollmar Bros.' Circus and Menagerie. Do not fail to read them all. \ G. ,L.„ CLEMENS, who has the agency for McHenry county for the American Ency- clopasdie Dictionary, is now canvassing in this vicinity, and we bespeak for this work a careful examination by our citi­ zens. It is full of useful information and one that should be in every house and office in the land. Look it over carefully and give him your order. AN exchange aptly asks: "When the breezy bloomers are the universal go, how will tailors press the creases into them. I'd like to know? When the baby's head is nodding and wants to take a nap, how can mama, lull her darling in a bifrucated lap? When the chickens go a ubbing in the garden in the spring, ow can Bridget 'shoo' the creatures ith no skirts to flop and fling? " EVERY household," says a woman, "should own a flag, just as much as it should have bed linen," a sentiment that will find few dissenters. The flag should not only be owned, but put out on every occasion on whieh there is the least ex­ cuse. Patriotism is inborn to be sure, but lots of inborn sentiment needs devel­ opment and fostering. Love of country is one of the things that we cannot bring out too early or have too strongly dem­ onstrated. - CIRCUS AND MENAGEKIE. Gollmar Bros.' Circus and Menagerie will exhibit at McHenry on Monday, May 27th, afternoon and evening. This is said by those who have seen it to be one of the best exhibitionsin all its parts now on the road, and presenting more new and novel features than any other tented show in the world. Their street parade is simply gorgeous and should not be missed by any one for ten miles around. Their Golden Chimes Chariot alone is well worth coming miles to see. Our readers need not go to Woodstock to see a Circus when they can attend one right at home that far surpasses it in every particular. Read their bills and posters and , remember the date. At McHenry May 27th. WHILE at Wauconda on Saturday last we called at the Pratt House and found that popular hotel undergoing substan­ tial repairs in all its departments. G. W. Pratt, the genial landlord, is sparing no pains to put this house in the front ranks as one of the best country hotels in this section, and the largb number of summer boarders that he entertains shows that his efforts in this line are filly appreciated. Visitors to Waucoijjj|| da can always be assured of good fare and excellent treatment by calling at the Pratt House. $25 00 10 00 10 00 10 00 3 75 18 45 43 70 40 75 40 75 413 75 1 50 80 i 7 75 1 50 j Two bodies that were buried on thd Curtis land, lately sold to' Dr. Fegers) jwere removed to the cemetery by Nick jWinkles one day last week, and a casual glance at the headstones show that one lad been buried 49 years and the other < >0 years.

The funeral services were con­ ducted on the 10th inst., at her late resi­ dence, by Dr. Straub, of the Universalist church, of McHenry, assisted by the Congregational minister of Ivanhoe. / THE Bank of McHenry has purchased h new ,200 safe, which they expect to (have in in a few weeks. It was made by (the Cary Safe Company, of Buffalo, N. Y. and is said to be one of the best made. It weighs 8,000 pounds, is furnished with a triple time lock and is absolutely fire and burglar proof. This will make the McHenry Bank one of the best equipped l^anks in the county. Q IT is doubtful if a man or woman can have a worse enemy than a so-called friend who stands idly by and allows someone to remark: "I hear thus and so about the reputation of this person" and not endeavor to vindicate his or her character. A good way to treat slur­ ring remarks and detrimental insinua­ tions about your friends is to say to the party making, them "Come with me to this person you have heard this about and see what he or, she has to say about it." Anyone who will refuse to do this is a coward besides having evil intentions. THE ladies of the W. C. T. U. will meet with Mrs. 0. N. Owen, Thursday af­ ternoon, May 16, at 2:30 o'clock. All members are requested to be present, aB important business is to be transacted. MRS. A. E. AURINGER, President. MRS. T. J. WALSH, Secretary.

Canst thou write an editorial to fit in a three quar­ ter column of the paper, which shall have three inches of fine sentiment four inches from the beginning, nine inches of hu.gpr' " in the middle, and an outburst of n\axim and. precept nine and three-quarters inches at the close? - Decoration Day Excursion Rates.
