Miss Bernice Perry, we believe, is the only graduate this year. THE Strawberry and Ice Cream Festi­ val, by the ladies of the Willing Workers Society, at the City Hall, on Friday evening last, was, notwithstanding the cool weather, well attended and a very enjoyable gathering, as all the entertain­ ments gotten up by the ladies are. The receipts were about $23. THE first of this week was cold and dis­ agreeable, something unusual in this section at this time of year. Overcoats outside and good fires in-doors were the order of the day. Those who had taken off their heavy underwear, were mur­ muring "a little warmer, please, Mr. Weather Clerk." THE Catholic Order of Forresters, of this village, held their annual social gathering at John Heimer's Hall, on Monday evening. Once a year the mem­ bers of this order, with their wives and daughters, meet and spend an evening in a social manner. They report a pleasant time on Monday evening. THE foundation for A.

AN exchange says that it is generally thought that thunder turns milk sour, but, as a matter of fact, eleetricity iB it­ self has no effect upon the fluid. It is the warm, sultry atmosphere preceding the thunder storm which favors bacterial growth and hastens the souring of the milk. ^ -- 43 THE country editor is a remarkable encyclopedia. A subscriber sent him this query recently: "What ails my hens? Every morning I find one or more of them keeled over to rise no more." The reply was': "The fowls are dead. It is an old complaint and nothing can be done except to bury them." AN Iowa editor tells his readers, in the following explicit words, how to find the planet Mercury: "Look right up St. Joe street toward the gap and a kittle to the right over the .hill by the electric light plant, about 8 o'clock." If we happen tq^be in Iowa about 8 o'clock some night we shall make a point of seeing Mercury. THE following officers of Star Lodge, No. 784, were installed by L. D. Thos Walsh, on Tuesday evening: C. T., Ella Spaulding; Y. T„ Jessie Baldwin; F, Sec. Harry Eldredge; Sec.Ben Smith; Treas.

Laugblin, and it is one of the finest jobs of the kind we ever inspected. The buggy was badly marred and scratched, but after it came froni Perkins' skillful hands it looked as though it had just come out of the shop new. He is a first-class workman in every particular and never makes a mistake on anything in his line. J. 1). LODTZ,'JR., of this village, made a good showing at the shoot, at Long Lake, the first of the week. He won fourth prize in the ten bird shoot, and tied for fourth prize in the twenty bird shoot. His tie was with Will Dunnill, one of the best shots at the Lakes. When we take into consideration that Mr. Lodtz was competing with professionals, as we said before, he made a good showing. THIS was Emerson's advice to his daughter: "Finish every day, and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tc-morrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations to waste a mc^ment on the yesterdays. A STORY is told of a Kansas blood­ hound who was given the following triai: He was first given a smell of musk and at the end of two hours returned to his master with a muskrat. The second trial was more difficult. A man lost a poodle dog; the bloodhound was engaged. He was given a sniff of poodle's collar. He started out and wound up at a meat market. Giving loud and prolonged howls he siezed a bologna sausage and tore away to his master. This happened in Kansas. E. J. HANLY, having purchased the principal steamer of the Fox River Steamboat Line, has had her completely overhauled, put in a new twelve horse power engine and a fifteen horse power boiler, painted her up in fine shape and expects to have her in running order the last of this week. With the improve­ ments made there is no good reason why passengers cannot be taken too and from the lakes in a comfortable and speedy manner. When she is ready to make regular trips we will publish her time table complete. THE Nunda Herald of last week says: "Edward IJmberger, 27 years of age, died Sunday last a|> the home of Albert Frank, two and a half miles east of Nunda. He had been in the employ of Mr. Frank for about one year and was taken sick about one week before his death. He had relatives in Chicago and in Pennsylvania who were informed of his death but no word was received from them. Funeral services were held Tues­ day afternoon, conducted by W. H. Locke and the burial was in Prairie Grove cemetery." Irl R. Hicks' Paper 6 Months for 35o The publishers propose to send a copy of Word and Works five months, from June to October inclusive, to new sub­ scribers only as a trial order for 25 cents, and ih addition thereto, give each trial subscriber free, a copy of a little book of 64 pages, which contains select chapters of a work by Rev. Irl B. Hicks, which is to be the crowning work of his life.

The regular price of this little book is 25 cents. Send 25 cents and your address, to Word and Works Pub. Co., 2201 Locust Street, St. Louis, Mo. AN exchange has the following: "Some people are continually howling about hard times. They never stop to consider that they have a home, are making a fair living, and, in fact, pros­ pering a"little better than the neighbor whp has no home and fails sometimes to measure out the necessities of nature in just proportions. The surest way to keep hard times is to howl hard time&. Times gwy be a little close, but extrava­ gance iptiving was never intended by the Creator. Be satisfied with what you have and talk satisfaction and the times will.certainly improve. The imagination can do more to destroy the'prosperity of your business than all of your competi­ tors. You need to take a sensible view of the situation and howl better times." Gasoline Stove for Sale. A second hand Quick Meal Gasoline, Stoye for salev Has been, used only one" season.

She is doing good wcjrk throughout the state. We have heard Mrs. Rounds on two former occa­ sions apd can truly say that her lectures are not only instructive but highly in­ teresting from beginning to end Let her have a good audience on this ec- caeion. THE creamery building of B. A. Stevens in the town of Burton, was totally con­ sumed by fire, together with all the con­ tents, early one morning last week. The origin of the blaze is a mystery, as thert- had been no fire in the building for sev­ eral hours and the place was a mass of flames when discovered. Mr. Stevens run a private creamery and has estab lished an excellent reputation as a but­ ter manufacturer. The loss was heavy and almost total, there being no insur anoe on the machinery and but little on the building. The latter was in Home, John Hendricks, of Woodstock, agent, and the claim was settled promptly.--Richmond Gazette. MEMORIAL DAY will be observed at W auconda Saturday, May 29th. Chap­ lain J. M.

W hen the election officers of Madison township were count­ ing the ballots recently, they found in one envelope a dollar bill. One member of the board thought it must betaken at a rejected ballot and strung as such. The other members thought differently, and after some discussion it was decided to create a~precedent and spend the dol­ lar for cigars and other things. AT a meeting of the McHenry County Agricultural Board, held pursuant to a call by Secretary D. T. Smiley, it was voted to issue no complimentary tickets to the Fair this year except to officials of other county Fairs.
