A mwrtlMHWM Anm»tinn tton Iatoratting AIL A tiionghtfnl observer remarks that there are two classes of people whom it is hard to convince against their will- women and men. The new 2 cent piece soon to be issued by the government has already been styled "doughnut coin" by reason of the fact that the piece is to have a hole in the center. This innovation in the coinage of Uncle Sam's money was deemed necessary from the fact that the new coin is the exact site and of the same material as is the present 5 cent piece. That gifted Kansas liar seems to have gone over on a Nebraska paper for a change of base and climate. This is his first effort as printed in the Nebraska City News: "A little girl at Palmyre drank a pint of coal oil and the doctors thought she wonld die until one of them hit upon a happy expedient. He slipped a yard of candle wick down into the oil, lit the upper end, and during the even­ ing she lighted the room nioely and then went to bed all right." A young man has a sister named Jessie, that is attending a fashionable boarding school; and when she went, he remarked that he hoped she would not acquire any of the affectations so often learned at such places; and for about a year, he had no fault to find. Then came a letter, signed "Jessica," instead of plain Jessie. Here is the reply: "Dear sister Jessica, your welcome letter received. Mammaica and Papaica are well; Aunt Marica and Qeorgica, started for California yesterday. I have bought a new horsica; and it's a beau­ ties, named Manica. From your affect­ ionate brother Saiuica." Her next letter was signed Jessie. DeKalb is having a real smallpox scare and a good story is told of a young gentleman who was at a social function where it fell to his lot to entertain a young lady. As she was pretty and full of life he enjoyed himself very well. She wore a short sleeved gown and he thought he had neyer seen such beauti­ ful arms, but she seemed ill at ease and finally said: "I was vaccinated the other day and it took, beautifully, but I could almost scream it hurt so." He gazed at her faultless arms in astonish ment and asked: "Why, where were you vaccinated?" "InMilwaukee,"s said with a smile and the young man fell off his chair. It is no discredit to a man to have en­ emies and opposition. Many men hesi­ tate to take any course that will call forth the opposition of any person be­ cause they don't want to have enemies. The world is full of envious people. Some people hate a man because he is successful in business or occupies a prominent place in a community. The world has an animosity toward the quiet citizen who offends no one and gets in nobody's way. It is the live man of push and energy who incurs enmity. Every man who is fearless in the dis­ charge of his obligations in the station of his life has enemies. A fat man strolled into a grocery store, according to an exchange, and asked if he could rest for four or five hours. Th? proprietor, who had just found a nest of newborn mice in a coffee grinder, told him he could, and than asked him why he did not go to a hotel. The man replied: ' 'I am suffering from nervous prostration, and the doctor said to get a quiet place to rest. I see that you don't advertise, I knew that I could not find a better place." And with that he sat back in his chair and watched the swallows build a nest in the cheese case. Was Thomas Monaghan, an old resi­ dent of Wauconda, poisoned or did he die of heart disease? is a question agita ting the vicinity. The aged farmer dropped dead in the field in the pre­ sence of his hired man, June 18, and a coroher's jury brought in a verdict of death from neuralgia of the heart, from which he was said to have suffered for years. His sister now demands a post­ mortem, alleging that she has reasons for suspecting that her brother was poi­ soned. What these reasons are she will not tell, but the coroner will examine the body Wednesday.--Elgin Courier. This is Josh Billings' definition of a square man. "The square man meas­ ures the same each way and hasn't got any crooked edges nor cheap lumber in him. He is free from knots and sap and won't warp. He is clear stuff, and I don't care what you work him into, he won't swell and he won't shriek. He is amongst men what good, kiln-dried boards are among carpenters; he won't season-crack, It doesn't make any dif­ ference which side of him you come up to, he is tbe same bigness each way, and the only way to get at him any how is to face him. He fcnows he is rquare, and he never spends any time trying to prove it. The square man is one of the best shaped men the world has ever pro­ duced. He is one of them kind of chunks that can't alter to fit a spot, but most alter the spot to fit him." ; - OF A PER80NAL NATURE. PEOPLE THAT - YOU KNOW AND PEOPLE THAT WE KNOW.

A Lively Gann From First to Lut and the Spectators are Weil Satisfied With the Kx hi bit ion. McHenry did not celebrate in the good old way, but for those who wished for some excitement, the ball game between the McHenry and Wauconda teams sat­ isfied their desires for about two hours. It was the first week-day game played this year and consequently drew a good­ ly sized crowd in which could be seen the beaming countenance of many of the fans who loved to toss the little sphere in years gone by. For it must be re­ membered that McHenry once had a team that cleaned 'em all up. The Wauconda team was somewhat lighter than the locals, but nevertheless put up a good game. "Captain Jack" Thurlwell, the McHenry twirier, WM in fine condition and wrapped them around the necks of his victims in proper shape. His support was rather ragged at times, but taken all in til he could hot com­ plain. It is to be hoped that more week-day games may be played. The boys will receive plenty of support and probably larger gate receipts in the future.: • ' THE SCORE.

Nicholas Justen, Sr., of Johnsburgh, was the guest ot Mr. and Mrs. Michael Justen last Tuesday. Mr. Justen is now nearly 89 years of age and can remem­ ber quite distinctly doings of his boy hood days. A letter from Dr. A. C. Sparling, who is now at North Hancock, Maine, says: "Everything is looking fine here but after all, there is no place like McHenry. I shall probably Btay here during the summer but shall return as soon as am able to resume work. Mr. and Mrs. L. E.

Mr. Charles Lee and Miss Vem Cha««U* «T Biffin, »re Marriwt, At t!i% home of the bride's p&fetrti fft Elgin, Illinois, Tuesday evening July 9th at eight o'clock were united in mar riage .Mr. Charles Lee and Miss Vera Chapell. The groom is a son of John Lee, of Elgin, is of excellent character, popular and of good business training, having been for some time connected with the wholesale house of Marshall Field & Co., of Chicago. The bride is the daughter Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Chapell and sister for S. S. and C. C. Chapell of this place, and is well known as a young lady of rare charms and, what is more appreciated these times, a fund of good sense. The event was something of a sur­ prise, even to the closest relatives. Miss Chapell had contemplated a trip to Cal­ ifornia, having made all prepara­ tions to leave Tuesday evening at nine o'clock and her parents went to Elgin to see her off. During the day, Tuesday, she told her mother that she very much disliked to go alone and said she thought she could persuade Mr. Lee to go with her. At about the same time Mr. Lee was informing his parents that he thought it unwise for Miss Chapell to start for California alone and he felt it his duty to go along to protect her and look after the baggage and invited his parents to call at Mr. Chapell's that evening to talk over the matter, which they did. In the meantime an uncle of the groom had procured a marriage li­ cense and engaged the services of a preacher and at eight o'clock, in the -presence of and with the consent of their parents, were united in marriage and without a hitch in any of the arrange­ ments of the young people they started on the 9 o'clock train for California. Their many friends join in wishing them unbounded happiness in their wedded l i f e t h u s s o h a p p i l y b e g u n . e . s „ ~ ,'Sf^ * Borden Condensed Milh Co. < As will be seen by a notice elsewhere in these columns this company are pre­ pared to contract for milk and at ex­ cellent prices, and it is probable they will not want for a supply when the fanners know of it. The location of this concern at other points has demon­ strated that it was to the benefit of the community, not only milk producers but real estate owners, and the fact that they have located here at large out­ lay without asking a guarantee from any one should inspire confidence in their ability to make it profitable to pat­ ronize them.

JOHN STOFFEL,. Clerk. A Dig at the D*lsy..'* v One of my greatest mistakes, says Anna Lea Merritt, the artist, telling^iiM : the July Century of her first gardening in England, was to raise a large crop of daisies. The flower is the badge of the women's college at Cheltenham and of Lady Margaret's hall, Oxford, because it always turns to the light and is lowly and modest, yet flourishes everywhere. I am convinced that these learned ladies never had any practical acquaintance with that flower. It is the most under­ hand, grasping, selfish, ill-regulated little plant that exists. It takes every­ thing it can get, and gives nothing ex­ cept its little spot of white in some place where it is not wanted. It provides no food for beast or bee, it destroys the wholesome grass, and certainly its ugly habit of crouching out of harm's way makee it decidedly insignificant, until one tries to dig it up, when its mighty power of resistance is unmasked. I do not think it at all a good emblem. Some of the Tl>p|Mh|» te oar Cout£ in Condensed Font for BMJT Peopk^-- ^Exchange Gleanings.

As long as the government will allow fire crackers and dynamite cape to be manufactured and imported the long suffering public must continue to suffer. People can grin and bear the noise on Fourth of July and all night previous to that day, but the noise that greeted the ears of McHenry people on last Wednes day night was hideous. Hie yelling alone might have passed without raising the ire of those who wished to sleep, but the vile words used by those thoughtless young men and boys was simply degrad ing to themselves and a shock to any modest person who was unluckily sleeping near an open window. It was undoubtedly thoughtlessness on the part of the boys and it is to be hoped that the performance will not be repeated. A Record Smasher. Mark L. Salamon has the record for catching big bass at Pistakee Bay, for last Sunday he landed one that weighed six pounds and two ounces, just in front of his cottage. He used a four and one- half ounce pole, made by Chas. Pfan- schmidt, and stood the test under which many poles would have broken. Mr. Salamon's daughter, Loretta, is entitled to some of the glory as she landed the fish, and that is by no means an easy trick with such big fellows on the line. Mr. Salamon will have the fish mounted so that in years to come, when he tells his favorite fish story, he can easily con­ vince his friends that it was no jose. Capt. Owen Dead.
