A wife-seeking yonng man of McHeo- ryit tailing his friends oue of the moeit disastrons hard lack stories that has been brought to light in McHenry in many a day. The yonng man in ques tion now freely admits that he has fallen the victim of a clever piece of trickery, in which a Chicago lassie played the leading role. It was on a bright summer day tliat the unfortun ate young man met her. At firet glance her shapely form, her beautiful eyes and pleasing smile appealed to the yonng fellow, who lost no time in form ing an acquaintance. The young man, on hearing the words uttered by her silvery tongue shortly after meeting, set his mind right there and then that she was the one for him. After listen ing to her flowery t*le, the young man was not long in telling her that her pleasing personality had made a hit with him. The fellow's visits to Pis- takee Bay, where the young lady was stopping, became quite frequent after the first meeting. Late last fall the young lady, after satisfying herself that her game was working very success fully, decided to return to Chicago. Her address, as is only natural in case of love making, was left with the McHen- ryite. After making several trips to Chicago the young man decided that it was about time to propose, which he did some time ago. The girl expressed herself willing and all preparations for for the wedding were being made (by the yonng man only). In her usual clever manner, the Chicago lassie, in order to make the wedding day one of more than passing interest asked the groom-to-be to send her a sufficient snm of money with which to purchase a wedding trousseau and a few other things that she named. Blinded with the happiness that was confronting him, the young fellow responded to her re quest and sent her enough coin to start up a small size jewelry store. Here, gentle readers, is where the tough luck story comes in. After the cash had been forwarded to the bride-to-be the yonng lady was just rude enough to make her departure for greener fields and that, too, without even sending the young man her new address. Now if there is anyone who can beat this for tough lnck we sorely wogM like to be told about it. A Traveling; SalMqtra H. F.

Frank Masquelet. t Oh, Yon German Carp. ^ ' At 1:80 o'clock last Sunday afternoon a bob load of McHenry business men left the scene of cares and troubles to pass for a few hours, at least, into the land of sunshine and bliss. Stilling's hotel at Pistakee was the destination chosen. The trip to the beautiful sum mer resort of ours would have been a most delightful one had it not been for the fact that th» party at one time be came so badly tangled in a twenty- foot snow drift that all wished them selves somewhere nearer the south pole, wherever that may be. At this point a very careful observation of the situation m made by the party, when at length (about thirty minutes) it was unani mously decided that it would be abso lutely necessary for all, even the fat boy, to get ont and indulge in about forty minutes of muscular exercise. With this accomplished the journey was continued, the destination being reached about an hour later than the scheduled time. After passing a few games at bowling, the party was in formed that dinner was awaiting them. The dining hall at the pdpul&r hotel next saw the visitors nicely seated about the table that had been prepared for them. The dinner, which was one especially gotten up for the McHenry- ites, consisted of no less than six courses, with friend German carp as a head liner on the bill of fare. Just how much of the palatable eatables was con sumed we will not mention, as we have pledged ourselves on this question, but it is a safe bet that there wasn't enough "grub" left after all was over to make a square meal for a sparrow. After dinner the jovial crowd adjourned to a specially prepared room, where cards were enjoyed until about eleven o'clock, when the homeward journey was made. The day will go down as one of the most pleasurable ones ever put in by a crowd of McHenry business men.
