In the uniform lessons for the first quarter of 1912 no lesson is specially indicated as a temperance lesson, altho the lesson for Feb. 25, "'The Tempta­ tion of Jesus," is eminently suitable and was intended to be so used. The International Sunday School associa­ tion, thru its temperance department, bespeaks your whole-hearted and loyal co-operation in observing February 25, 1912, as a quarterly temperance Sun­ day, a day of vital, practical temper­ ance teaching, which shall enlist many new recruits in the Sunday school tem­ perance army, recruits pledged to total abstinence from liquor and cigarettes, and to active efforts against the drink habit and liquor trattic. Do your best in your school and spread the news to other schools. Justice J. JT. McClaren, chairman international temperance committee, member of international lesson committee. Mi's.

ITEMS CLIPPED FROM PLAINDEALER OP TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO. This section was treated to an old fashioned January thaw last week. The toboggan slide continues to draw crowds every plteasant evening, and by the shouting we hear they must be having dead loads of fun. Married, at the Congregational par­ sonage in Harvard, Jan. 20, 18»7, by Rev. M. N. Clark, Frank E. Martin of Harvard and Miss Abbie L. Whiting of McHenry. 1 The banquet, by the Modern Wood­ men, on Tuesday evening, at the Par ker House, was attended by about six­ ty-five couples, and was one of the most enjoyable affairs of the season. The supper was superb and was highly spoken of by all, while every arrange­ ment was perfect for the pleasure and comfort of those present. It was a gathering that will long be remem­ bered with pleasure by the partici­ pants. The grand eantat* of the "Flower Queen" will be produced at Riverside hall, McHenry, Friday evening, Jan. 28, 1887, by young ladies of the Lake Geneva high school under the direc­ tion of Will J. Cutteridge. We learn that Miss Brasee, sister of Edson Brasee, had the misfortune to fall upon the ice on Monday morning, breaking her hip and splitting the bone of the leg in a dreadful manner. She is under the care of Dr. Chi Ids. A large party from Wauconda vis­ ited the Riverside House on Friday evening last, bringing along music, and Landlord Ford invited in a number from this village and the result was a regular old folks dance, and to say that all had a good time does not half ex­ press it. Mr. and Mrs. Ford got up one of their regular good suppers and done all in their power to make it pleasant for all, and no one knows better how to do this than M r. and Mrs. Ford. INDIAN GIRLS. It is interesting to know of the won­ derful advancement made by the Indian girls. How much they are learning and how different is their lot today from that of the pioneer days.

Much valuable information can be gained about the world in gen­ eral by reading our special features which are written by the same high class authors and correspondents that contribute to the leading magazines.
