H^ has t>een a resident of McHenry for over fifty years, and is still hale and heart.v T6r a man of bis age. That he may liv<\» to enjoy the good things of this world for many years to come is the wish of hi" host of friends. To many sorrowing hearts the Holi­ days bring sad remembrances. It is a time for memory and for tears. Th> vanished^faces held in becret memory, th» vacant chairs call up happy day$ of long gone years, and the softest airs and sweetest thoughts, cluct3r around tbos^ days of the pa*t that each year grow m.>re distant. IF you are in possession of an item of news, don't let modesty interfere an^ prevent you from stopping us andtellinp- us all about it. The true friend of tb> newspaper man is the one who tells bin1 all about an incident instead of keeping quiet about it and then ceuturing the editor because he didn't know that such an occurrence ever happened. A "MUM surp-ise" consists of half a dozen ladies calling on their friends, sit ting in the house a few minutes withou* speaking, then shaking hands aud depart­ ing. It certainly is a big surprise for six or any other number of women to me«:t and not talk. We would not encourage this new fad. It will certuinly superin­ duce lockjaw or nervous prostration. A farmer bought a stove;of a sharper The farmer says he paid a -big price for the stove but he did not feel very ba^ about that for the firm agreed to ke«p the stove in repairs for five years. In about six months the covers warped badly and the farmer wrote the firm ask ing them to stay by their agree ̂ ient. Ho got a reply something like this: "Turn the griddles over and let them warp back." THE dancing public should not forget that on Friday evening of this week, Dec. 30th, occurs the New Year's Party, at Stoffel's Hall, in this village, under the auspices of the Jovial Social Club, and that the best Orchestra in the state, Baernstein's, of Kimball Hall, Chicago, will be present and furnish the music We expect to see one of the pleas an test parties of the season gathered at tha hall on the above named evening. #prjftg «ad tfke j^eraooaJ cbar#?. sembled at the residence of J.

THE managers of the New Years Party, which is to take place at Stoffel's Hall, on Friday evening of this week, wish us to particularly impress upon the minds of tbe dancing public that they have se­ cured the u«e of Howe's Music Room, un­ der the Hall, which will ;be warmed and lighted especially for a cutting room for the occasion, where those who wish can enjoy rest from the Ball at such times as they may s>*> fib. This will do away with tbe crowds usually sitting around the Hall when not dancing and make it more pleasant for all. Bear this in mind when you are deciding where you will go tor your New Year's dance, Matin? the Home Attractive* -- William M trtin Johnson, author of "Inside of a Hundred Homes," contrib­ utes the first article of his new series on "Tbe House Practice1" to the January Ladies' Home Journal. In these articles Mr. Johnson will explain how the various rooms, ball ways, etc., of a house may be artistically furnished and decorated at comparatively small cost, The explana­ tion is so clearly detailed that, with the aid of the accompanying drawings, al­ most auyoue with taste may follow the instructors given. The articles will show how thfl iaterior of a house may be transformed from the commonplace into a thing of artistic beauty and coziness. There is no piihjdct of such vital interest to Americans as the improvement of the home, and Mr. Johnson's articles will doubtless prove as poDular and useful as his "Inside nf a Hundred Homes."

MANY people condemn unqualifiedly and, I think, unjustly the prevailing cusi torn of gift giving at Christmas time True it is often overdone, but those who generally denounce it as a nuisance are those who never give any thing voluntari ly, no matter how full their store, and they kick with the vehemence born oi selfishness because custom forces them into such contrast that they are com­ pelled to give something in self defense --Ex.

The above symptoms are often attri buted by the patient herself or by her physician to female weakness or womb trouble.
