In writing tip a wedding the reporter of an exchange said of the bride: «'Her dainty feet were encased in a pair of slippers that resembled fairy boots." bnt the careless printer caused the paper to say: "Her dirty feet were encased in a pair of slippers that resembled ferry boats." / Learn to laugh. A good laugh is "bet­ ter than medicine, • Learn to keep your own troubles to yourself. The world is too busy to care for your ills and sor­ rows. Learn to do something for others. There is always something that you can do to make otherb happier, and that is the surest way to attain happiness for yourself. There is plenty of work in every town, every city has associations of business men. Towns are built They do not grow. Any town or city, where the business men are organized and active will be increased in trade, in wealth and in prosperity. Without organization little is ever done. When business men believe the town in which they live is worth living in, they will advertise its advantages and increase in worth. Truer words than these were never written. The latest development of the slot ma­ chine is one by which the man who drops in the requisite coin may get an. X-ray picture of any part of his body. When the rejected snitor declares that his heart is broken the haughty girl will promptly prove by the slot machine that he is indulging in hyperbole and a few of those things. Also there will be fewer doctors cutting people up for ap­ pendicitis, for he who thinks that his appendix, addendum or errata is out of order can find out for certain by drop­ ping a nickel in the slot. There is a general desire among the farmers of the county for free rural de­ livery. The postoffice Department is anxiotis to provide sueh delivery as-fast as possible, but it does not intend to grant ^ it unless farmers provide good roads at all seasons of the year for its carriers. It has, in fact, given notice to patrons of existing routes that unless the roads are kept in fair condition the service will be abolished. Another ar­ gument in favor of gravel or stone roads. The delivery of mail at their homes must inevitably lead to a change of views on the road question among many farmers. Down at Pana, 111., the grocerymen are laying their plans to get even with farmers and others who buy goods in the larger cities. The grocerymen here­ after will refuse to buy butter, eggs, vegetables and all farm produce from such parties, and will refuse credit to town people who do a large share of their trading away from home An as­ sociation has been organized, and the grocerymen are going at the matter in a very systematic way. A committee has been appointed to keep watch on freight depots to secure the names of all tbose who are in the habit of buying away from home. It is generally accepted that the most successful men are those who render the greatest service to their fellow men. Certain it is that the man who proceeds on the theory that it is the part of wis­ dom to keep everything of use or value to himself, will never grow or expand in those qualities which are necessary to the most complete development. Such a man eventually comes to think THEY ARE NOW AT REST. THE OLD AND YOUNG OBEY THE - SUMMONS. 5 I CfeSro^ '̂VibPlter Has Anrilv r̂̂ ft Boll Call and Gone to Join the Comrade* who have Preceded Him. > MRS. CHAS. PAGE. JuKa"H. Fryer was born in Rome, N. Y., Nov. i, 1865. At the age of 6 years, she, with her parents, moved to Mc­ Henry, 111., in the vicinity of which she resided during her life. Her education was obtained from the district schools, never having the advantages of a high school. September 10th, 1890, she was married to Chas. L. Page, thus a little over ten years of happy married life was spent at their farm about a mile south of this village. Friday morning May 10th, 1901, she passed away at the early age of 35 years, after passing through a siege of sickness lasting about 6 weeks, a part of which time her suffering was al­ most unbearable. She was the mother of four children, Charles Ray, Roy Wil­ liam, Letah Mae and Lester James, the last named being a little over 2 years of age. She leaves to mourn her loss, be­ sides the children named above, a hus­ band, father, five brothers and four sis­ ters, besides a large circle of relatives and friends. Her funeral was held from the M. E. church, Suqday May 12th, and was at­ tended by a large congregation of friends, neighbors and relatives. The service was conducted by the Rev. Whipple, pastor of the church, and the singing by Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Walsh was appropriate for the occasion. The floral tributes were numerous and beau­ tiful, being from the M. W. A. friends and relatives. Her remains were laid to rest in Woodland cemetery. Mrs. Page was a loving wife and kind mother, she always made friends where- ever she went. Her one main object in life seemed to be the welfare of her children. She was very much interested in having her children obtain a good education and with that end in view de­ voted much time to them. Bnt the link is broken now and no one can take her place, but it is to be hoped that the over ruling power will shower his bles­ sings upon the bereaved husband and children and guide them on to the end. A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home* Which never can be filled. God in his wisdom has recalled, "c " ' The boon His love had given-; • And though the body slumbers here , , The soul Is safe in heaven. (?; • CARD OF THANKS. I desire to express my sincere thanks to my neighbors and friends who so kindly assisted me during the illness of my wife and after her death. CH AS. L. PAGB. CHANCEY D. PARKER. - Ghaacey D.

As he was crossing the threshold of manhood and desirous of a broader field he sundered the home ties and went to West SupeiS ior to be with his brother, D, H. Ken­ nedy, who was located there. The par­ ents followed a few months later and the harmony of the family circle wa| again resumed. • His death oocured at St. Mary's Hos­ pital, West Superior, Friday, May 10, after an illness of nine weeks. The fun­ eral was held there Sunday, conducted by the F. O. E. No. 80 of which he was an active member. The body was es­ corted from the house to the hall by the Fall Citv Band where the services were in charge of the Rev. Smith and H. W. Diedrieh, worthy president of the order. From the hall the body was taken to the depot and arrived in McHenry atJO o'clock a. m. Monday. ' Many sympa­ thizing friends and early companions were assembled to gently receive and lay to rest all that was mortal of one whom they had known and loved, and in beautiful Woodland cemetery, surround­ ed by scenes once so familiar, Harry will quietly sleep 'till the great awaken­ ing. The floral offerings frofa F. O. E. No. 80, M. W. A. employes of the Commer­ cial Barber Shop and Mr.i and Mrs. Geo. WJjifee'were particularly beautiful.'

When he once begins to worship his own greatness growth becomes impossi­ ble, it matters not what his pursuit, calling or position in life. One Warren Wayne, who tried to in­ duce a wealthy farmer near Morris to give up $600 by the Pat Crowe method, is now in jail at Morris with a consider­ able quantity of lead in his body, put there by deputy sheriffs. Upon request of the criminal that Supervisor Holder- man should leave $600 in gold in a bag at a certain point Wednesday or the farm would be blown up, the supervisor filled the bag with lead-and got a num­ ber of deputy sheriffs to wait the result, and capture the gold seeker when he came out of his hiding place to pecure the bag. He was spied by the deputies and told to halt, but he tightly grasped the bag of lead and nun, af&f to lie filled with more lead. jority he began life for himself with no capital save a pair of willing hands and a young man's bright hopes of the fu­ ture. In 1847 he came to McHenry county and has since resided in this locality. April 12, 1869 he was united in mar­ riage with Miss Mary Seeker, of Jeffer­ son county N. Y. Two sons, Charles H. and Edgar Ray, were born of this union. When the war broke out Mr. Parker enlisted at Nunda, on the 11th of August 1862, as a member of Company D, Ninety-fifth Illinois Infantry. He was on the first line of skirmishers at the memorable siege of Vicksburg. After his discharge he returned to his home crowned with all the -honors of a loyal soldier. He cast his first presidential vote for Fremont and was ever a zealous advo­ cate of Republican principles. He. was an honored member of Volo lodge of the Patrons of Industry and of Wauconda Poet, No. 368, G. A.&. Although never Will Make Water Tanks. A manufactory which is destined to take front rank among McHenry's in­ dustries is the factory which has been established by Matt Engeln and son, Joseph, for the purpose of making iron tanks. Mr. Engeln has been a leading business man here for many years and needs no introduction nor commendation as to integrity or reliability. His name is sufficient guarantee that any occupa­ tion he may choose to pursue will be carried on with a strict view to honor­ able dealing. This latest enterprise of manufactur­ ing tanks is the development of an idea that Mr. Engeln has given much thought and study. The tanks are constructed with a two-fold design that of cooling purposes and for stock. A number have already been sold and negotiations are pending for the sale of others. Mr. Engeln cordially invites all contemplat­ ing purchasing to call and inspect his line and note carefully his prices which are the lowest consistent with legitimate goods. M.

"I can't see why the physicians are not compelled to obey the laws requiring them to make a report of every birth at the county clerk's office," says a citizen. If it should become necessary for a person born in this county to prove the date of his birth he mi ght find it a dif­ ficult matter, as there s no record of the event unless it is put down in the family bible."
