Their soon known, and many when harvest and thresb- iwime, "Will wonld see that he'd r& farnish thej beer," bat harvest a&d threshing came, and Will furnished no beer. However, the owner of the |l||plp liild a k<« of beer brought to :sfpB-iurai without, their knowledge, and, work was done, a man was sent to the houee to ask Mrs. "Will" for a half dozen tin caps. She said she "hadn't TO many, but would give them glasses." He refused to take glasses, saying "they might break them," and went back, whereupon a man at the well remarked "Let the man who famishes the beer, famish the cups to drink it from." ,/ "What!" said Mrs. "Will", have they got beer? Well, I'll see about that!" ' ' She took her sunbonnet and walked off ... «otike barn; there was the keg, just turned down, with faucet in it--but none i;§ J. had drank from it yet. Around it stood >' some dor,en or more men. )y "Who brought this hsrs?" mid Mrs. , "Will." rrv .̂>v No one answered. ltt2S;M;-/s "Whose is this?"asked she. V', One man said, "not mine," another, , "not mine," and another said it doesn't : belong to any of us," .< "Well," said Mrs. "Will," "if it don't belong to any of you, I'll take care of it," f • and, suiting Idle action to the word, the ̂ : plucky little woman picked up that five gallon keg, beer and all, and carrying it ! - to the house, deposited it on the door- ; step, saying, "The man who brought it ! here will take it away, but not one drop ,v of it wQl be drank on this farm"--and it wasn't, either. This is the way public sentiment is being educated in our rural f: : districts. Mr. "Will," and the owifcer of the thresher, were both in the barn pnt- ting away grain, unconscious of the V- heroic deed of this little woman, who is not a member of the W. C. T. U., but for three years past has contributed to the support oi the union nearest her. r>Y i ' • 'V • rr-ii.'i-Sl;:-f&i? )&• ir» f.v V: v. % i \ & V; a i\-v;\ ' Boots, Shoes, Gloves, Mittens, Our ft## Spring «tbck Is large?, more carefully hamper bought than ever before, and we earnestly invite impaction and comparison; . .

In presenting Midnight to the public I tbink I show one of the best individuals ever offered in Northern Illinois. Midnight is * grind good horse. He is a black, standinerlSJi htnds high, will weigh 1075 pounds and of stately carriage. Hia head and neck are handsomely lined, his shoulders deep and well laid, his withers carred well back, the barrel of ex­ cellent dept h and splendidly ribbed home; bis loins remarkably good, and at this very point we see too many horses very defective. A weak loin and coupling is a more serious de feet than any otl>er point. We like to see a horse made there as if he could carry a ton. His legs and fe*t good, piinta strong, and bone clesn. He lias qnalitv, beauty and high finish. He has a world of speed. As a race horse none *an outta i him Considering all ihese qualifications, no assumed, but demon­ strator, hts inheritance, his campaigning qualities, and his great speed producing pow­ ers, lam fully justified in thinking that Mid­ night's prospects when bred to good marea, are not exceeded by any horse of his age. Midnight came to McHenry Co., Feb, 16, 1893. unknown to horsemen acd breeders, bnt MS a proof that the public was pleased with him I bred 78 mare» before Aug 10, and re­ fused 25 more, I started him but five times in public, first at Dundee over a new half mile track, and drove him an easy mile in 2;2S, last eighth in 15 sec. Second, at Mc­ Henry, to beat 2:28; he paced in 2;23, Third, at Woodstock, by request of those at the race Id rove ;liini one-half mile in 1:09. f ourth time, at his first race In '93 at Liberty ville, ha won seconti money, over a heavy track, and was beaten by only a neck by Proctor, 2; 17. His 1 st race wasat Waukegan where hewm the free-for all pace a?'! paced the last quar­ ter in three heats in 31^ seconds, a 2:06 "lip Midnight's record, 2:17%, is no mark of his speed, he never had a teason's work, aiways started in races after making a big seaaon and with no preparation. T i R M I i I will etand him at a fee of $20.00; |n>,oo due when mare is safe in foal, and iiooodue when mare foals Parties trading marea a'ter being bred will be held for full tee, $20.00. when mare la safe in foal.
