The etatfon on the St. Ps^ lroad, formerly known as Nippersink, lu^oeen changed to Fox Lake, and thAiormer Fox Lake station is now Ingleside. The golf grounds, near Lake Geneva, comprising 40 acres, have been pur­ chased by Moore, the Diamond Mjjrrch magnate, who is putting np W omlion dollar residence near that poinw^/ Farmers should remember, of course dairymen do remember, that while there is a great difference between the price of a pure bred Jersey and a common cow, there is also a wide difference in the butter produced, both in quantity and quality. "When I goes a-shopptag," said an old lady, "I allers ask for what I want and if they have it and it is suitable, and 1 feel inclined to buy it, and it's cheap, and can't be got for 1ms in any other store. I most allers takes it, with­ out clappering all day about it, as some people do." The English lace makers imported by Dr." Dowie and located at his Zion in Benton refuse to desist using tobacco and furthermore wont be bluffed. Now he is praying for them and they are joying their bull dog..pipos^tBe^nean- time. What he will do as a last resort is hard to tell. A McHenry young lady wrote to a Chicago temple of beauty, enclosing 25 cents for a recipie "warranted to keep the hands white," and received the fol­ lowing reply: "Soak well in dishwater three times a day while your mother rests." She believes its a fake--at least she has not tried it Efforts were made recently to find a certain colored man for whom a pension had been asked. Papers in the case were returned with an indorsement reading as follows: "He was the laziest coon that ever Bhot craps in a back alley or robbed a hen roost. He is dead, and he's been dead a long time, and you had better send up to St. Peter, for we sus­ pect the man you want is np there now prowling around nights." If the Record is correctly informed Miss Chicago,--the sturdy young woman with "I will" on hei breast,--will get Samuel Alschuler, of Aurora, for a val­ entine. That is, the genial Sam has had a flattering offer to form a law partner­ ship with Adolph Kraus and C. R. Hol- den, and will begin business February 14. He will continue to reside in Auro­ ra, however. His gubernatorial cam­ paign does not appear to Have been wholly without results. There never was a time before when persistent, original force was so much in demand as now. The little namby- pamby, nerveless man has little show in the hustling, bustling world of today. In the twentieth century a man must push or be pushed. Every one admires the man who can assert his rights, and has the power to demand and take them if denied him. No one can respect the man who slinks in the rear and apologi­ zes for being in the world. Negative virtues are of no use in winning one's way. It is the positive man, the man with original energy and push that for­ ges to the front, U - t OSnOTD.'. , : This is like an old-fashioned winter! A. B. Jecks was a recent Chicago vis­ itor.

The statement advertised by the Ringwood Butter Co., for last month stated that $1.15 was the price paid for 100 pounds of milk. This should read $1.0998 or $1.10. The Ringwo&l Butter Co., can certainly make butter cheaper fii^n any other creamery, but there is nothing gained by publishing a misleading report. - Election of OtBcers. At a meeting of the McHenry Military band held on Tuesday evening the fol­ lowing officers were elected: John Olson, President; Frank Going, Vice President; Anton Zens, Secretary, John Barbian, Treasurer; Clemens Zens, Li- barian.

And with well-filled t ray, doth gladly say : "Tomorrow I'll turn something up; Tonight on wages earned I'll sup." Klfla Batter Market.
