DUCK HUNTING is now in order and hunters are on the war path, many of them to the detriment of their own pri­ vate business. , There seems to be a faici mtion about killing a wild duck that makes many a man treat business as a secondary consideration.

On another farm 1,768 bushels were thresh­ ed. The average was near fifty bushels to the acre. This is the best yield we have beard Of in this vicinity. The gen­ eral average around here is thirty to fifty bushels. THE report is that the woods are full of nuts this fall. The crop is likely to beat the record. Hazel bushes are bend­ ing and hickory and walnut trees are also well filled. In a month from now the country will befull of nutting parties, and every winter fireside may have the baaket well filled with " nuts" from the brown October woods. THERE will be a shoot and Game Dic- ner, at the Nippersink Club House, on Sept. 26 and 27, 1897. The programme includes eight shoots each day, besides a Match Shoot between the Pistaqua and Long Lake Gun Clubs, on the 26th. Some rare sport may be expected. C. H. Ostrander is the manager and one of the finest dinners of the season is assured. JOHN W. SIMON had the misfortune to get quite badly hurt, while unloading, at the depot, some heavy iron for the Water Works, on Friday afternoon last. A heavy piece caught him in the fleshy part of the leg below the knee, cutting an ugly gash but fortunately breaking no bones. Dr. Auringer dressed the wound and he was getting aiong very nicely at last accounts. DR. C. H. FEGERS has had numerous inquiries for lots since they were adver­ tised, but he has informed all such that no lots will be sold until the advertised day of sale, Saturday next, Sept. 25th, when all will have a chance to put in their bid and select a lot to suit them An article of agreement, a bond for a deed, or a warrantee deed will be given, whichever suits the purchaser best, JOHN I. STORY last week presented the Grammar Department of our Public School with a fine History of the World, in two volumes, for which they wish us to extend thanks. The Sjefrool Library has quite a collection o^xcellent books, but what is most needed just now are Historical Reference Books, and all such will be thankfully received by the teach­ ers and scholars. WE notice that quite a number of new Poet Masters are being appointed in McHenry County. Among those who we now call to mind are W. T. Palmer, Crystal Lake; A. S. Corl, Nunda; An­ drew Neish, Spring Gns-ye; M. W. Merry, Hebron; Mrs. Nettis' Threadgold, Algon­ quin, and Westerman, Greenwood The above are all good appointments, and we believe will give perfect satisfac­ tion to all interested. THE Wauconda Base Ball Team, the "Independents," played at the Liberty­ ville Fair both Thursday and Friday, playing the Libertyville Club Thursday and the Everett Club Friday, winning both games with ease. The "Inde­ pendents" are by all odds, the strongest club in Lake county, and, we believe, have not been beaten this season. We would like to see them and the Algonquin "Indians" cross bats. It would make an interesting game. Chicago Excursion* Thursday, Sept. 23, you can visit Chi­ cago at the extremely low rate of $1.50 the round trip. Leave McHenry 8:33 A.

Their receipts of milk have fallen off greatly in the past few days and they look for a speedy rise in the price of the product. The dry spell affected the pastures greatly and the recent rains will not afford much re­ lief. A much heavier dowafall is needed. One creamery operator said the receipts fell off fifty per cent in three days. M my of the pastureaare infected with myriads of flies which torment the cattle and pre­ vent them from feeding. Such a number was never seen before and they seem to be a new variety. Wisconsin and Iowa dairymen are profiting, having had more rain.--Elgin Courier. For Sale Cheap.

No more will women need to get down on their knees to scrub the floor. A genius has invented a machine that does the work. It resembleB a lawn mower er and is propelled in the same way. Hot water is placed in a receptacle, and when the machine is moved flows forth gently and is automatically gathered up by wiping cloth and brush to be found in the rear. The'rapidity with which the machine pcrubs the floor is said to be remarkable. IN McCliire's Magazine for October there will be published for the first time the lorn? hidden and supposedly lost life masks of John Adams, Jefferson, Madi­ son, Lafayette, ajad Chas. Carroll, taken about 1825 by fh/sculptor Browere, by a refined^pTfWssfthat he himself devised, and of which he never told the secret, The story of the making of these remark­ ably truthful masks, and of their subse­ quent hiding away, is a most romantic one, and will be told in the same number by Charles Henry Hart, the highest authority on such subjects. Ten Dollars a Week for Eight. It does not seem possible that the table for ei^ht people can be provided for ten dollars a week. But Mrs. Rorer, the most famous cook in America says it can be done. She has tried it and knows. She proves her case in The Ladies' Home Journal for October. She fijives twenty-one menus covering a week's meals, and gives full, practical directions by which any woman can make as attractive meals as Mrs. Rorer explains, for this small sum of ten dol­ lars. WE have often warned our readers to beware of the slippery Lightning Rod Agent, but nevertheless they still con­ tinue to get in their fine work on the unsuspecting. A party of these gentry, headed by C. R. Hepp and Henry Yenny, made their headquarters in this village for several weeas last spring, and by rep­ resenting themselves as representing a reliable company, succeeded in duping our citizens in various sums, such as board bills, livery bills, etc. Where they are operating now we do not know, but presume they are at their old game in other fields. There are plenty of reliable men, vrho are well known, in the Light­ ning Rod business, and we advise our readers to patronize such instead of these traveling dead beats. LADY FORESTERS. On Sunday last St. Patricia's Court, Lady Order or Forresters, was organized in this village aud the following officers elected: Mrs. Mary Hobb Cihief Ranger Mrs. Peter Dougherty..Vice Chief Ranger Miss Charlotte Madden Recording Sec MiBs Mary Sutton Financial Sec Mrs. Dr. Fegers Treasurer Mrs. Matilda Meyers, ) Mrs. Mary Carey, V Miss Ellen Dougherty Miss Anna Flemming, Miss Loretto Walsh, Miss Maggie Frisby, Miss Maggie Cleary, This Court has started out with a goodly number of members, with a fair prospect of a number more in the near future. A SURPRISE. Friday last being the fifteenth birth­ day of Miss ElsiAJIowe, the young peo­ ple planned to surprise her on that evening, and they succeeded to their entire satisfaction, as she had not dreamed of such proceedings being even thought of until the happy throng, num­ bering twenty-five, came in upon her. After her surprise was over she entered into the festivities of the occasion and a very pleasant evening was spent by all. Refreshments were served, games in­ dulged in, and at a seasonable hour all departed for their homes, wishing Miss Elsie many returns of the day they had just, helped her to celebrate.

A few paid him cash, but far the greater number said it was not convenient, ihen, but would pay later. After a few months had passed the farmer's bank account run low. "How is this?" he said. "My wheat should have kept me in affluence until another cr^p is raised, but 1 have parted with the grain and instead of money, only a vast number of accounts, so small and widely scattered that I cannot get around and collect them fast enough to pay expenses." So he posted notices asking all who owed him to pay quickly. But few came. The rest said: "Mine is only a small matter, and I will go and pav one of these days," forgetting that though each account was very small that all together meant a very large sum to the farmer. Things went on and the man got to feeling so badly and rolled and tossed about so much in his efforts to collect that he lell out of bed and awoke, and running out to the granery found his wheat safe. He had been dreaming and .hadn't sold his wheat at all. . Moral: The nf xt day tbe man went to the publisher of his paper and said: "Here is the pay for your paper and when next year's subscription is due you can depend on me to pay it promptly. I Btood in the position of an editor last night and I know how it feels to have one's honestly earned money scattered all over the coun ry in small amounts." --Ex. » " Chicago Excursion.

Many a promising youth has been ruined because he did know how to say "No." There are many people who say "No," but BO faintly that there seems a "Yes" in it, BO that it only invites fur­ ther persuasion. A boy who was advis­ ed to persuade hi8 mother to reconsider some decision to which she had come answered: ^'When my mother says'No' there isn't any 'Yes' in it. Many a man tempted by appetite with­ in and by companions without sayB "No" feebly and faintly. HiB "No" has a "Yes" in it. A lad was coming along the street one day with a young man who was somewhat excited by strong drink, and after walking along awhile with his companion he drew a bottle from his pocket and said: "Have some?" "Well, hand it over," replied the lad. The bottle was passed to him and rais­ ing it aioft he hurled it with a crash against1 the^ stone wall, and turning to his astonished companion he said: "Don't yoU ever put a bottle to my lips again!", ' v\- • ' The young man was inclined to be irri­ tated, but he had sense enough to re­ strain his anger. The lad's "No" had not any "Yes" in it. There are scores of young men who need the decision which this lad had. Thousands of men are to-day drifting down to drunkard's graves, who might have iieen saved if they had had the courage to smash the bottle when the tempter offered it to them.
