The McHeory Highs went to Algon quin last Friday evening to play the high school team of that city. The game was played and lost, bat McHenry played in their usual good form and made a good showing, as they never w „jfail to do whether at home or on strange " • -^gtonnds. The end of the first half saw -wk -/^McHenry in the leadt with two points to the good, the score standing 7 to 5. The Algonqnin team saw that they would have to go some to win, and with this in view they got right in with both feet and the head down, so to speak, and started to rough it at the beginning of the second half. When time was called Algonqnin was chalked up with twenty points to her credit, while the boys of the orange and black had the generosity of the Algonqnin guards to thank for the 13 points chalked up for them, besides ' sundry remembrances from nearly all the Algonquin boys, in the shape of a shattered finger, lacerat ed lip and a few skinned knees and el bows. Next Friday evening a return game between these two teaius will be played at the city hall, and the Highs give as to understand that they will be there with the goods. A 1 they ask is the hearty co-operation of the publir aud they will do tho rest. ^Everybody, turn o«it next Saturday evening aud see the Highs do the stuut. It's easy, and you know it.

RICHMOND VS MCHENRY. Richmond came down from the north last Saturday evening with two teams to play the first and second high school teams of this city, the first iearns to play the deciding game of their serits and the second teams to play their first. The second teams lined up first. As this was the first match game in which, our second team had participated they were a little bit afraid to spread them selves, but their bashfulness soon dis appeared, and they showed up in their true form soon after the game started. When time was called at the end of the second half the score was found to- be 14 to 14. In this case the game must continue until either one of the teams makes two consecutive points. So the game continued, with both teams work ing with redoubled energy. And this last effort proved Richmond's undoing, they throwing discretion to the winds in their efforts to get the ball and cage it. Because jbf this abandoning of the rules .by both teams two fouls were called on Richmond and one on McHen ry, and being successfully thrown, re sulted in victory for McHenry by the gcore of 16 to 15. As the whistle of the referee sounded, calling the players of the first teams on to the field, the Highs, closely muffled in long overcoats and sweaters, emerged from their quarters and entered the field in a body. At a signal froth the leader they threw off their overcoats and sweat ers and stood forth in the gorgeous at tire of the "Bloomer Girls." They felt quite free in their dainty togs, showing much ginger throughout the first half. The audience exhibited much enthusi asm when the boys appeared in their fancy suiter, because it was known that the first half of the game was to be played by the non-interference rules, and tfiey appreciated the eff >rts of the boys to make a game played by obsolete rules as interesting as possible, by wear ing obsolete uniforms. But as for the boys themselves, they were far from being a bunch of "dead ones," as the score card showed them 11 points to the good at the close, of the first half, the score standing 24 to 13. The second half was played according to the 1905 rules and the boys of the orange and black appeared in their reg ular suits, and appeared as fresh as at the start of the first half. They suc ceeded in this half in running the score on their side of the tally-board up to the 40 mark while their opponents were endeavoring to get past the 18 mark.

ARE SURPRISED. Meun, Ou Curlaon and Chu. O. Frett the Victim*. The home of Gus Carlson was en tered by a jolly bunch of gentlemen last Thursday evening, the event being in honor ot his 84th birthday anniver sary. Gus was as innocent as could be, but, nevertheless, he was not very long in preparing for the evening's entertain ment. * Mrs. Carlson, who had previously been given a friendly tip in regard to the gentlemen's intentions, was fully prepared for the guests and served them with a dainty supper, the company ar riving at the house at exactly the reg ular supper hour. After ample justice had been done to the delicacies served by Mrs. Carlson, all repaired to card tables which had baen arranged for them. The evening was very much enjoyed by all present. The following gentlemen comprised the company: Messrs. C. G. Frett N. H. Petesch Jacob Justen Dr. D. G. Wells John Barbian John D. Lodtz N. E Barbian T. L. Grot Dr. F. A Holly H. Paaske John-F.-V filer J.N.Gilbert Dr C. H. Fegers, Jr. C. G. FRETT SURPRISED. C. G. Frett was pleasantly reminded of his 30th birthday anniversary of his birth last Saturday evening by a host of friends at the club rooms of the Mc Henry Pleaaure club. After the first agreeable surprise, it did not take long for the popular meat cutter to over come the shock and give bis guests one of the best times of their lives. At a late hour a knock was heard at the club room door. Mr. Frett responded, and to his surprise found a dainty luncheon placed at the door, with the donor missing, but'later it was learned that it had been prepared aud left there by the host's estimable wife. Mrs C. G. Frett. After partaking of the luncheon the company departed, wishing Mr. Frett. many happy returns of the day. Taxes! TaxeH!

The reception room was brilliant with a profusion of the gorgeous poinsetta, whose bright leaves and glistening ber ries make it one of the season's decora tions. The room adjoining was decorat ed in green and white, and here were used the delicate ferns and lovely chrys anthemums. From an arched nook formed by a deep window, was suspend a large wedding bell of the same colors, while everywhere within this nook were a profusion of chrysanthemums and ferns, forming a lovely floral bower, and here; beneath the symbolic bell, stood the bride and groom, attended by Miss Vera Fitzsimmons as maid oe honor and Mr. Elmer Currie, a brother of the groom The bride wore her beautiful wedding gown, which was made of a dainty silk en fiber and is known as Jussi cloth. It is a cloth made only in the Philippines. The underskirt, of a fine shear organdie, with its deep accordion plaited ilounoe, formed a dainty foundation over which fell in long graceful folds this delicate material. The skirt was demi-train with a flounce of the same finished with a full narrow ruching of chiffon. The bodice of the dress was formed by a full Vraist which was joined to a gauze yoke, which was finished by a new and most beautiful opalescent trimming, which indeed reflected all the brilliance and delicacy of coloring so characteristic of the opals. Bright opalescent discs glis tened on the gauze of the yoke, while masses of this beautiful substance formed into butterflies were used to adorn the joining of the yoke to the waist. A lovely girdle was also formed by these brilliant ornaments; while a necklace of seed pearls finished the neck. Lilies of the valley were worn in her hair, while a Bhower bouquet of the same carried by the bride finished a most exquisite toilet, v. Many guests were present, among them being many friends from Wood stock and Chicago. * The evening was enlivened by music and dancing, during" which the guests were invited into a room which was also decorated in red, where delicious frappe was served, made most palatable by cherries and strawberries, whose colors seemed to add to the tempting flavors. Later, most dainty refreshments were served, and surely nothing could have been more perfectly and temptingly prepared. Here again the color scheme of green and white was seen in the dainty china of white with green, and through all the tempting viands was it apparent, But in nothinK was it more delicately presented than in the creams and ices, whose contrasting layers form ed a most pleasing combination. After a most enjoyable evening the guests departed, with congratulations, and good wishes for (he happy ooupl#, Every teacher actively engaged in public school work in McHenry county is expected to attend this meeting throughout the session. No progressive teacher would njiss the advantages de^ rived from these professional conven tions. The school law encourages and sustains the teachers in attending such a meeting as this by allowing no deduc tions frotu the regular salary for time spent in attending it. (Art. 7, Sec. ,11.) No teacher with the proper sense of honor will be recreant to a trust of this nature, and we should see to it that the time thus granted is conscientiously jemployed. , The time has come when the teachers' meeting should assume the proportions of a peoples' meeting. The nature of our problems demands it. The Federation idea initiated one year ago promises to meet this demand. Our re cent programs are of such a character as to nurture this idea. Let us, there fore, use all honest means to secure as large an attendance as possible. It will be to the best interests of every teacher to secure the attendance of every mem Ker of his board. Advertise the meeting daily, and both generally and personal ly. Try to secure the attendance of the genuine farmer. By enthusiastically supportiug the Federation movement we can secure a large attendance. By seeking to advance the interests of Mc Henry connty as a whole, you will also be receiving great personal benefits. Those wishing to attend the lecture of the Hon. Wm. J. Bryan, on Thurs day evening, Feb. 9, should secure, re- ervedWats at least one week in ad- vauce. This may be done by writing to &etf. I. T. Underwood, of Woodstock. The price of the reserved seats will be 75 cents accommodations for one or Sboth evenings can probably be obtained tff private parties in Woodstock at rea sonable rates. One or more of the local church Societies expect to serve dinners a id suppers throughout the session Teachers desiring accommodations will please write to G. W. Coun, Jr., at Woodstock, at least three days in ad. vance of the meeting. Do not engage quarters unless you expect to fulfill your engagements. Arrangements at past meetings haye been marked with a woeful disregard of promises, which re suited in inconvenience, disappointment and displeasure to the accommodating parties. Teachers can gain the greater confidence and respect of the business woild if they will only learn to be more business-like. This is a good chance for a beginning.
