Some crowd. It is reported that the marriage of Mr. -Joseph Nett and Miss Regina Freund took place at St. John's church here this (Thursday) morning. The opening installment of "The Master Key" opens at StolTel's hall. West McELenry, next Sunday evening. This is positively one of the very best pictures ever produced, so don't miss it. John Freund, who resides on a farm between here and Ringwood, lost a ben house and stack of straw by lire last Sunday forenoon. The fire occurred while he and his family were attending church services here'and had it no*, been for the'prompt work of neighl>ors the house and barn surely would have been lt$t. The fire originated from a spark from the tank heater. The marriage of Joseph Adams, t he oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. <'. M. Adams oT this place, ;md Miss I'lara Nye of Alvado, O., took place at the l'at hoi ic church here Wednesday morning of this week. The bride is a sister to Dr. N. J. Nye and Prof. A. E.

The couple left for Milwaukee, Wis., where they will spend a few days as the guests of the bride's sister, Mrs. Chas. Stoffel. (Published by request of Jotansbarfch Header) The following article was recently published in a Whiteside county paper and it was first published thirty-four years ago in a Georgia newspaper. Altho some details may be slightly exaggerated, the main statements are nearer the truth than some of the cat­ alogues sent out by the mail order houses. Here is the article: The sparkers are looked upon by parents as a nuisance and often they are right. Nine-tenths of the spark­ ing is done by boys and girls who have not gotten their growth, and they look so green that it is laughable for the old folks to look at them. They haven't generally a second shirt and they are no more qualified to marry than a steer is to preach. And marrying is about the first thing they think of. A green boy without a dol­ lar present <5r prospective, sparking a girl regularly and talking marrying, is a spectacle for gods and men. He- should be reasoned with and if he will not quit it until he is able to support a wife and to knew whom he loves and the difference between love and pas­ sion he should fee quarantined or put in a convent erected on purpose for such cases. Nine-tenths of the unhap­ py marriages are the result of green human calves being allowed to run at large in the society pastures without any yokes on them. They marry and have children before-'they do mus­ taches: they are fathers of twins be­ fore they are proprietors of two pairs of trousers and the little girls they marry are old women before they are twenty years old. Occasionally one of these gosling marrfages turns out all right, but it is a clear case of luck. If there was a law against young galoots sparking and marrying before they have cut their eye teeth, we suppose that the little cusses would evade it. 4 think it is time enough' for these young bantams to think of finding a pullet when they have raised money enough to buy a bundle of lath to build a hen house. But they see a girl who looks cunning and they are afraid there is not going to be enough girls to go around and then they begin to get in their work real spry and before they know of the sanctity of marriage relations they are hitched for life and before they own a cook stove or a bed­ stead they have to get up in the night and go after the doctor so frightened that they run themselves out of breath and abuse the doctor because he didn't run, too. .It is about this titne that a young man learns that he is a colossal fool and he fiies around to heat the water and bring in the bath tub and goes whooping after his or her mother, lie turns pale aronnd the gills, his hair turns in a single night and he calls heaven to witness, that if he lives un­ til morning, which he has doubts of, he will turn over a new leaf and never marry again until he is older.' And in the morning Xhe green looking "fath­ er" is around before the drug store is open, with no collar on, his hair stick­ ing out all over, his eyes bloodshot and his frame nervous, waiting for the clerk to open the door so that he can get some saffron to make tea. Less than a year ago he thought he was the greatest man that ever was anywhere, i visited his parents eturned from Elgin visited Woodstock running Rossman's but as he sitfe there in the house that morningN with nis wedding coat rusty and shiny_ and his trousers frayed at the l>otfcom and his coat patched at the elbjws, and the nurse pi/ts in his arms a roll of fiannel with a baby, he holds it as he would a banana,,and as he looks at /lis girl wife he thinks there is not enough provisions in the house to feed a canary. A lump comes into his throat and he says to himself that if he had it to do over again he would Iqave that little girl at home to grow up with her mother and he would wait, till he had six dollars to buy flannel and ten dollars to pay the doctor. {CHERRY VMJ^Y Chas.

Boys Have Narrow Escape Last Sunday while out hunting, Charles Geske and Fred Rossman came across an unusually large rabbit, which apparently was fast asleep. The rab­ bit being of extraordinary size, the boys decided that he would make a prize winner at the coming poultry show and thereupon set out to capture the animal alive. Geske delegated himself a party of one to make the capture and informed Rossman to stand back and watch him accomplish the trick. To Geske's surprise the little animal was not as sound asleep as he had judged and just as the would-be captor made his tinal hair-raising leap the animal made one wild jump and landed right in Rossman's face, knock­ ing the latter unconscious. Geske picked himself together and turned jus^n time to be given a severe jolt when the rabbit hit him a hard rap. The animal was still within gun shot when Rossman came to. Rossman grabbed his gun, aimed and fired, but the rabbit paused .only long enough to turn and ascertain whether or not his two foes were still among the liv­ ing. Seeing that Rossman's aim was a bit off, Geske raised his gun and fired, but his eyesight, too, had failed him, and in a moment or two the ani­ mal was far out of the danger zone. The boys have placed an order for one of Germany's most powerful guns and they ejfpect. it here soon and if ever Mr. Rabbit puts in his appearance in these parts again he -surely will go to his happy hunting grounds. The boys, tinder the care of a doctor, are doing nicely and hope to be up in time to place their new field gun on its ar­ rival here. In the meantime the boys are willing to give advtbe on how to Jhoot rabbits. This information will be free for the asking. KMKKAI.I) PARK. Herman Murgen spent Sunday here.

Look at the homes constructed of wood, years ago right here in our own town. Where they've had any atten­ tion at ail, they're most good as new. Of course, you're not al­ lowed to forget the necessity of painting 4 frame house occasion­ ally when talking with salesmen of substitutes, but don't get frightened at that. Painting is not so dreadfully costly and you don't have to do it so very often, but when you do paint, you have the advantage of being able to change the appearance of your home to meet modern day ideas of style. And should you want to sell you'll find it a whole lot easier to sell a fresh, clean look­ ing house than you would one moss covered and weather- beaten. We know, for we've seen it tried.

Fact is, even today more homes are built of wood than any other material, and if our forefathers coald return and see the finished lumber we supply you todd^ they would of one accord say, we all should be doubly thank­ ful for the opportunities we have to build cheaply and permanently.
