" , The hard time dance, given at par­ ish hall hereon Monday evening of this week, proved a decided success, a large crowd being in attendance in spite of the unpleasantness of the weather. Most everyone appeared on the scene dressed in costume to fit the occasion and there was no end to the merriment until the close of the Home Sweet Home waltz. A few, who probably had nothing but good clothes to wear, appeared all "togged up" and, as per warning given them, were made to pay fines of 10 and 15 cents. This extra obligation was met in every instance with a kindly spirit and all told the event easily proved one of the happiest of the winter season. As a result of the dance the church treasury was en­ riched over $60.00, there being one hundred couples in attendance. OSTEND Getf: Brady and wife are at White­ water, Wis., visiting relatives.

He slept in the schoolhouse Friday night and went begging -the next day. He stopped at a farm house where there were a lot of men working a saw at a pile of wood. They tried to get him to try splitting wood, but he was too tired. They finally asked him_to dump his pack to see if he had any school books.

Hebron Tribune: William Gordon, local speculator in metals, etc., was in Sycamore one day last week, where he purchased a half car load of cop­ per wire clippings and old machinery from a Borden factory there. Of course this is of no singuar circum­ stance, but the above news item has further significance, which we will try to relate as it was told to us. Mr. Gordon arrived in Sycamore and at once detected a Chicago speculator by the name of Cohen on the job. Gordon knew that Cowen was there for the same purpose and hastening to a telephone he called up his father at Harvard and had him call Cowen to the phone and with orders to hold the man Cowen as long as possible. In the mean time "resourceful" Will­ iam slipped out and purchased all of the big junk while the Senior Gordon was "entertaining" the Yiddish gen­ tleman from Chicago over the tele­ phone. We would recommend Mr. Gordon to the war department of Uncle Sam's dominion in case of war with any foreign power, as he ap­ pears to be a strategist and quite re­ sourceful.
