The Charlevoix club is a family club located on the south side m Chicago near Washington Park. It has a mem bership of one hundred and is one of I his jjrhisJsers grew, and the villianViBtill the leading social organizations of Chi- pursued hir$. cago. The dram&tjc corps of the clu^b was organized several yeaw ago under the leadership of Mr. H. C. Ross, and has been under the chairmanship during the past year of Ray B. Hammond. The dramatic department has produced some fifteen or twenty sketches and has at­ tracted considerable attention and com­ mendation for the completeness and thoroughness of its productions. The Boys who get tired of going to school should read the following written by Superintendent Adams, of Fayette col­ lege: "The average educated man gets a of $1,000 per year. He woris 40 years, making a total' of $40,000 in a lifetime. The average day laborer gets $1.50 per day, 300 days in a year, or $450 in a year. In 40 years-he earns $18,000. The difference, or $22,000, equals the To acquire this Let no tears fall on Memorial day. The memories of past achievements of the noble dead, the present knowledge of the magnificent results of their> con Secration to patriotism and our belief in the beneficence and unbounded love of our Creator for his creatures all forbid that a nation should be swathed in grief on the recurrence of this anniversary To him who has lived in obedience to his highest conception of the truths of God, death is not the black robed (en­ emy of all mankind, but he comes radi­ ant with peace as a Divhie Messenger to be welcomed with trustful heart and t* serene anticipation of those glorious re: Wards that await,well doing. . Across the shining river the thousands^ of our comrades, who, taking their de scriptive lists in hand, have gone be­ fore, now marshaled on the eternal pa­ rade ground, under the command of the great Captain, look down in loving re­ membrance on the assembled hosts who come to strew flowers on these patriotic graves.. The lesson of today to the snrvivors of the (Treat War, and to our 'children and our children's children, is to recount from every pulpit amkrostrnm the dewls of our illustrious comrades on the field of battle, their heroism, their fortitude, the hardships they endured, their wounds, their weary days and nights in hospitals, their terrible suffering in prison pens, where they were stat-ved and tortured by a remorseless enemy, their brilliant victories and their mag­ nanimity to the conquered foe. We will emblazon the pages of his­ tory with the high resolves which ani­ mated the hearts of the soldiers of the Union and we will describe with a graphic pen the wonderful results that have crowned their efforts. On memor­ ial day we gladly acclaim the glories of our great American republic, whose sturdy growth from the Plymouth Rock to the Philippines has placed it first among the powers of the earth, and in this proud attainment we give the right­ ful meed of praise to the Grande Army of the Republic. ̂ - We will point to the future and out­ line the work for the Grand Army, still a quarter of a million strong, and en­ courage our comrades to push forward in the great work of fraternity, charity, and loyalty. An aide-de-camp in charge of mili­ tary instruction and patriotic education, in each county, will co-operate with the post commanders, in making arrange ments for a patriotic program in every school, public or private, and secure the assignment of a veteran soldier, prefer ably in uniform, to each meeting, Friday afternoon, May 26, or such other convenient date as may be arranged by the officials. Commanders and chaplains of each post are directed to make arrangements for the attendance of the post in a body on Sunday, May 28th, at a patriotic re ligious service, f The observance of Memorial day is the special duty of this^brder and post commanders are charged to make ample and timely arrangements to this end. The patriotic people of Illinois are invited and urged to join in the observ­ ance of this day. All military and civic societies and the children of public, pri­ vate and parochial schools are invited to join in the parade and services of the day.

Another call to the higher life, Mrs. Lafayette Dates, aged sixty-one years, nine months and one day, passed away at her home in Ringwood last Friday, April 21. Mrs. Dates had been a gr^at sufferer for the past eight months. Those who attended her dur­ ing her last illness were well aware that death was the only possible relief. Al­ though the sad news was expected it came as-a hard blow to her relatives and the many friends and acquaintances who had1 come to love her, Mrs. Dates was born in New Jersey, on July 20, 1848. Her father's name was William Henry Wright, who sacri­ ficed his life for his country in the war of the Rebellion. She was united in marriage to Lafayette Dates about forty-two years ago, who preceded her in death by two years, to a very day. Deceased has made her home in Ring- wood for the past forty years, where she is loved and esteemed by all who knew her. The home circle, which remained unbroken for forty years, was blessed with four children, two sons, Edward S. and Charles L,, and two daughters, Mrs. James Conway of Ringwood and Mrs. George Woods of Sonth Dakota. These, with the grandchildren, one sis­ ter, Mrs. William Kelley, of Ringwood, survive her and suffer the loss of a loved one. Deceased was a member of the W. C. T. U. and always proved herself a hard and earnest worker. While she was not a member of the Universalist church she was an ardent believer of that faith, which was her comforting thought to the last. The funeral services were held from the Universalist church last Sunday, Rev. Arthur Roberts, pastor of the church, conducting. The funeral was attended by a very large number of sor^ rowing people, showing the esteem and respect in which she was held. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Walsh rendered several very beautiful and appropriate selections for the occasion. May these words of the poet be cherished by those who realize her departure and loss of her useful­ ness: "Hhe'rostot.h now; no more her breast tleavi\s with its wenry breath. Ptiln now no more coutracts the brow, I'alni in (loath; Sunk lo her rest, lik«* a tired child Htii- lies in slumlK.'r deep.

Deceased was born at Buffalo, Erie county, New York, on May 6, 1885- Two years later he came with his par ents to Lake county, Illinois, where he has made his home ever since. He serVed in the Civil War, being enlisted I in Company D, 96th regiment, Illinois Volunteers, and served his country faithfully and fearlessly. Mr. Stanley was also a member of the I. O. O. F. of Antioch. In 1856 he was united in marriage to Miss Mary A. Riz, who preceded him to the great beyond several years ago. To this union were born eight children, three of whom survive. They are Mrs. Minnie Jackson of Grayslitke, and John and Albert of Fox Lake. Besides the children and a host of friends there are left to mourn the loss one brother and "six grandchildren. At the age of thirteen he was convert­ ed a trup-Christian, and he felt confident that he would meet his wife and the loved ones gone before. The funeral services took place in the M.

The Ostend team came down again last Sunday to show our boys just a few more pointers on the national game, but sad to say, they had very greatly over­ estimated their strength, being shut out by the score of 5 to 0. John Thuriwell pitched the entire game for McHenry and was in fine shape. He played the "Cy Young" game on the boys from the west, allowing no hits and no runs, and only one man succeeded in reaching the second pillow during the entire game. BuSs covered the initial bag in fine style, and Gibbs, behind the bat, easily caught all runners who tried to steal second. In short, tlje locals put up an exception­ ally good specimen of ball.
