The little sparrows are getting it in the neck from small boys and large ones, too. A bonnty of two -cents went into effect December 1 as an extermin­ ator inducement and many are taking advantage of the offer. The firm of Scott & Pease, Aurora, has gone into bankruptcy. The firm has been trying to dissolve partnership for three years, but the assets and lia­ bilities were both large and there seemed no other way open but through the court. A curiosity that is being displayed in a Waukegan store is a bunch of peanut branches laden with nuts. They were raised by Herbert Melville, of Russell, who this year, hia first experiment grew a crop of ten bushel. It was not be­ lieved peanuts could be successfully grown in this section but Mr. Melville has proven that they can be. "If a newspaper man knew how many 'knock' he received behind his back, he would adopt another calling," remarked a citizen the other day. The citizen was mistaken. The newspaper man who succeeds expects to be malign­ ed by every law breaker, swindler and h_. pccrite, every carping critic and every lover of notoriety who is ignored, and in fact, by all persons who do not agree with him on public or private question^, The newspaper man who expects to go through life without being resented juid unjustly censured should make arrange­ ments to die young. The right of a husband to open and read letters addressed to his wife and destroy them Without allowing her to see them will be tested in the United States court of Iowa this week. Richard Vanderveer, of Marshalltown, who has been indicted by the grand jury on the charge of embezzling a letter, has deter­ mined to fight the case. When arraign­ ed before the judge, he entered a plea of not guilty. He admits all the char­ ges, but says he concealed the contents ,of the letter for the best interests of the family and will make his fight oa these grounds. Nothing like being frank and acknowl­ edging one's faults. A gentleman who lately visited at Wauconda, was very pronounced in his political views. He spoke freely. He writes from his home in Nebraska, to the Wauconda Leader, as follows: "I enjoyed my visit very much among you all. I did my best to please all and if through my ig­ norance, by word or deed, I hurt any- bodys feelings I hope they will forgive me. God knows I have lots of faults and I am sorry for it. I will try to meet you in heaven where there is no politics." A gentleman was heard to remark the other day that while the church is a great power for good in the land it would do vastly more good if its people would keep in touch with the world. Many ministers do not become suffi­ ciently acquainted with the people out­ side of the church to know them, and unless they know the people they are trying to influence for good they cannot accomplish much. Church members, too, seem indifferent about the interests of their neighbors who are outside of the church. For the church and its members to do the most good possible they must keep in touch with the out­ side world. The church is for the peo­ ple and not the people for the church.

' * Saved by » Dog. "Capk'V* Great Dane owned by Charles Muehrcke, of Fox Lake, saved the life of Jerry Miller, of Chicago, last week. Miller was sliding his boat over a frozen patch when he broke through and his boat filled with water. His efforts to get back on the ice were in vain. It was not sufficiently strong to hold his weight Cap rushed to his rescue. 'Meanwhile cramps bad caught Miller's legs and he was unable to help himself. His calls for help bad been heard by Casper who hastened to his assistance. When he arrived upon the scene the big dog was struggling to drag the "drowning man to the shore.

She was born in Wash­ ington, Vt., and was twice married, first to Roswell Merrill, and from this union fonr children survive the mother who Has been called home. They are Edgar M., Ruth M., David E. and Don J. In 1859, Mr. and Mrs. Smith were married and came to reside on the farm that for forty years has been their home. Two children were born to them, Ruby F , who died in 1838, and Byron R. For eighteen years the postoffiee of Enterprise was located at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and early friends will always recall the kindness and hos­ pitality of these people. Always court­ eous and sympathetic, no appeal for aid was ever disregarded and no friend who sat at their fireside ever forgotten. For several years Jtfrs. Smith had been confined to her home through fail­ ing health and received the lovfng sym­ pathy and attention of her family and friends who gave her all the care that loving hands and hearts could give, and when she was called to the home above, her form was followed to its last resting place by many friends who had known and loved her. The services were conducted by Rev. Riley Bradfield, who paid a tender trib­ ute to the daily life of Mrs. Smith and who, assisted by Mrs. Bradfield, sang at the grave that sweet fiymn, ' 'The City of Gold."

Given In the Riverside Hall last Friday and Saturday Evenings--The Receipts were Nearly $30.00. The gay little Operetta, Golden Hair and The Three Bears, was presented by the pupils of the second and third rooms of the public schools assisted by friends on Friday and Saturday evenings of last week. Riverside hall was comfortably filled with an appreciative audience on each evening and responded with a gen­ erous share of applause to the earnest and painstaking efforts of the little ones. Miss Belle Gallaher was an ideal Queen. She possesses a voice of wonder­ ful sweetness and sang her lines with perfect understanding and, her acting Was easy and graceful. Her "Farewell" song to the forest children was beautiful and the audience was in sympathy with her from start to finish. Little Miss Hattie Lamphere was a charming Golden Hair. The transfor mation of this sparkling wee brunette to a golden-haired fairy was perfect but her many friends and admirers readily recognized the sweet and sympathetic voice and petted and applauded her throughout the performance. ^ Her childish devotion to the ancient Bard was a very dainty bit of acting and during the trying ordeal (for it most have been one) she never faltered in her lines. Miss Lillian McGee, in the character of Faithful was exceptionally good. Her voice is clear and sweet and her acting natural and graceful. Misses Millie Lawrence and Cassie Rldredge rendered a very pretty duett and came in for a generous share of ap­ plause. Manfred B. Whitten as Kg Bruin was just about as "benry" as a bear could well be. He had ample oppor­ tunity to give vent to his deep bass voice in the various songs and growls which were a part of his character. W. W. Ohnrrh. as Mammy Muff, was certainly good. The costume was a startling creation of orange and red that must have taxed the modiste's art to its utmost. A modest little frill of white peeped from beneath all the^e furbelows and quite set off the c< stume. The bonnet was a wonderful affair of strings and roses bewitchingly tiptilted and charm­ ingly tied on around the ear. Master Will Gallaher was Tiny Cub and he demonstrated with his growls that he was capable of assuming the dignity of bear when the opportunity presented itself. Charlie Curtis as Will-o'-the-Wisp succeeeded in frightening the bears away and orotected Golden Hair until rescued by the Bard. The children looked very pretty in the various marches and sang the choruses in a manner that showed perfect train­ ing. Little Miss Irene McOmber enter­ tained the audience between acts with several fine recitations. Miss Irene is so well known that she needs no praise. However, her reading was done in her usual graceful manner and with perfeet understanding. Miss Rosa Justen, our talented pianist, was the accompanist and to her belongs no small share of the honors of this suc­ cessful entertainment. Throughout the program she carefully guided the var­ ious characters watching and strength­ ening in any needed place. Misses Wright and Besley, under whose directions the Operetta was given, may well feel proud of their suooess. The proceeds were a trifle over $47. Auction Sale.

The first and second rooms realised $50 from the operetta given Friday and Saturday evenings of last week. Maud Van Slyke,a pupil of the second room, has moved to Algonquin. Her little friends will miss her very much- By all means see th^t yonr children are kept in school every day that it possi­ ble for them to attend. None of them will get; too with schooling, and besides everyone would dislike to see an army of fcoys loafing aronnd town with no ap­ parent aim in life.
