IS 0IXTY years ago harvest help in this state was plentifnl and cheap, fifty cents a day being paid and the hoars of labor being from sunrise to sunset. ; WHY do not the boys of McHenry fol- low the example set by George Wash ington and trnthfnlly say: "I cannot tell a lie, father; I cut down those bur dock and sweet cloyer trees with my little hatchet."? AT last John Alexander Dowie, Elijah U, etc., has renounced allegiance to the British crown and become a citizen of the United States. King Edward and his coterie are still doing business at the old stand, however. OF all the towns in the state Mc Henry should have the neatest streets and best kept lawns, on account of the thousands of strangers who pass thru and visit here during the summer. A little pride is needed somewhere. EX-GOVERNOR FIFER is spoken of as a possible compromise candidate for gu bernatorial honors. ' 'Private Joe" Fifer him been weighed in the balance and was not found wanting. Other aspir ants for the office of governor as capable as he may pop up later, but a better or stronger candidate could not be found. Milk Wedding Cwtmi. Acovrding to the Polish custom, the tnarrtage ceremony usually occurs on a Sunday, this being done to permit the men to attend without losing any time from their employment, while the bride is supposed to maintain the greatest secrecy concerning her wedding until she is actually clad in her wedding garments of thin white and bridal veil. Thai she goes from house to house, regardless of the conditions of the wearner, and invites Lrcr iiieuun to her wedding, which, of course. Is pay ing them a very pretty compliment. Again, according to custom, and during the course of the reception, a china bowl is placed in the center of the table upon which the feast is spread, and each man whom the bride honor? with a waltz understands that he Is to throw with all his might and main a •liver piece into this bowl, the idea being to break it, and the man who is so fortunate as to shatter the vessel is entitled to the .farewell dance and a kiss from the bride. While the cus tom is curious It Is none the less prac tical, as it is not an infrequent thing for the newly married couple to re ceive three or more hundred dollars at their wedding feast • Dog and a Soma. During one of the last birthday cele brations of the poet Whittier he was •Jetted by a celebrated-oratorio singer. The lady was asked to sing, and, seat ing herself at the piano, she began the beautiful ballad, "Robin Adair." She had hardly begun before Mr. Whit- ttet*s pet dog came Into the room and, •eating himself by her side, watched her as If fascinated, listening with a delight unusual In an animal. When rite finished he came and put his paw very gravely Into her hand and licked her cheek. "Robin takes that as a • tribute to himself," said Mr. Whittier. "He also is Robin Adair." The dog, bearing his own name, evidently con sidered that he was the hero of the Song. From that moment during the lady's visit he was her devoted at tendant He kept by her side when she was Indoors and accompanied her when she went to walk. When she went away he carried her satchel in his ipouth to the gate and watched her departure with every evidence of distress. Sorry He Sued. A stranger admitted below the bar of the British bouse of lords was re quired to deposit his umbrella with one of the attendants. The umbrella was not to be found afterward, and the owner brought an action in court to re cover its value. He was successful ' mud was awarded $5. But this was a violation of sanctuary which the lord Chancellor would not tolerate. Sum- fgionlng the plaintiff and his attorney the bar of the house, he only re- , frained from committing them both to prison on their making a humble apol- Ogy and refunding the amount they lad gained.
