( Death has again visited our village, -claiming as its victim Clyde Nichols, only son of H. H. and Lizzie Nichols, aged about twelve years, who died on Sunday morning of diptheria. . Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather the party at the Riverside /"House on Thanksgiving eve was attended by about thirty couples. During the thunder storm on Thursday night, Hetzels barn on the east side of the river was struck by lightning and damaged to a considerable ' extent. It will be remembered that this same barn was struck during the sjfu-' mmer and his horse killed. •f- : Twenty-five Yea re Ago a A- Carriage of more than ordinary interest to McHenry citizens toolr place in Chicago on Wednesday morning of last week, the bridal couple being Miss Elizabeth Becker of Chicago and Mr. John Buss. When the city fishermen come out to Pistakee another year, they will not be bothered by the German carp which have become such a nuisance in the flakes and Fox river. Work has been in progress during the past week under the supervision of Mr. Briggs of Chicago, to rid the beautiful Pistakee lake of its carp and all other -fish that are useless. We are in receipt of a school directory, sent us by G. W. Conn, Jr., county superintendent of schools. It contains the names of all teachers and school officers and is a handy reference pamphlet. In a prize advertisement contest conducted by the Selz sShoe company of Chicago, Mr. J. W. Freund, our popular West side shoe dealer, was awarded the third prize, five dollars. The ad appeared in The Plaindealer issue of October 20. A. C. Matthews has leaded the West Side market for another year, the deal "being made at Elgin last week. Be sides the retail business of the market, Mr. Matthews is also agent for the Kerber Packing company at Elgin, making frequent shipments of fine porkers to that firm. May Mr. Matthews enjoy a continuance of the large patronage he now has is our wish. * ' TheOuidgdrs VITALITY OF THE GOOSE It is remarkable the cases of vitality^ displayed by members of animal and bird life. No human could possibly endure some of the suffering experienced by natures inhabitants without losing life itself. Among the many records that come to the attention of the National Headquarters of the Izaak Walton League of America is found an exceptional occurrence relative to the vitality of a Canadian goose. The following episode came to light many years ago and was enacted by a farmer named H. N. Clement, Hving near Lowell, Indiana. This gentleman was gunning in the once famous waterfowl shooting grounds of the Kankakee marsh and came upon a flock of geese. He succeeded in bagging several nice birds, one of which astonished him by having as a breastpin an arrow nine inches long. That goose became the wonder of the neighborhood and the study of scientists, the only conclusion reached being that wherever thfl wild bird came from, there he got the arrow, so unique in formation that it could be assigned to no tribe of Indians in the United States or any other knowh country. Finally a member of the National Museum said the bird and arrow could have come from no other place on the globe than the Yukon Valley, for except that region no such arrows are made. Science does not pretend to say how long the goose carried the arrow of a Yukon tribesman until it met its death from a shot fired by a civilized gunner down on an Indiana' marsh. The bird disdained the weapon of a savage, but turned up.- its toes to the marksmanship of the Hoosier farmer years afterward, and thousands of miles from its summer home in the arctic desolation, as it was journeying southward. Federal, State and private refuges reveal many interesting occurences in the life of our bird family. The Izaak Walton League has been instrumental in establishing extensive refuges throughout the nation and its 3000 chapters have gathered much valuable data on bird life that has helped further the scientific conservation and propagation of migratory and upland game birds.

IF GEORGE and Mary Malcolm " could have foreseen thP sad culmination of. their world tour (theH* ^sudden illness with a tropical disease; their deaths in a little one-story hotel in Papeete, Tahiti; the consequent stranding of tlieir eleven-year-ol# daughter), why, of course, they would have abandoned their journey. Iiut their vision could not pierce the veil of the future, and event* occurred exactly qx enumerated abov«t So suddenly were they smitten that, there was no time to make arrangements for little Polly. She simply hecame a legacy to kind-hearted Motlief* Kenyon, who ran tlie I'-t-ni'lt Harbor iiouse. along with the few effects left by her parenls and what money there was about their persons. * When she was sixteen two things, occurred. Letters began to arrive re ganling one George Malcolm and his wife--cautious. Investigating letters. Of equal Important^ to Polly with the letters, a new British consul took «;> his residence on lite hill behind the hotel. V His name' was, Dean Everett. He was very good-looking and thirty-two. He j was unmarried aud heart free when he came. He met Polly almost Immediately nnd fell head over heels In love. But he did not tell her so; partly Itecnuae of her youth, partly be cause he wished to prove his feelings' a little further before committing himself; but mostly, perhaps, because of a certain dragon-like aspect of Mother Kenyon, who seemed always hovering over the girl. . Months went by while Mother Ken yon received and answered letters without making much of them to Polly, and Dean watched Polly daily growing into womanhood. Then came the culminating letter. It seemed that the person behind all the inquiries was a distant cousin of (ieorge Malcolm, an elderly aunt, evidently a well-to-do woman who had flever seen Polly or Polly's mother, but who had heard of their journey and its sad ending months afterward. It sfcems remittances had piled up at anottier port of call nnd authorities there had communicated with the bank on which the checks had beev drawn. The bank in turn had sought for relatives or Information of the unfortunate couple. A steamer carrying mail which might have straightened out matters had beeq lost In a southern Pacitie hurricane. The whole affair had been Involved and tedious. But at last to Polly, nearlng her eighteenth birthday, came the information that considerable money--or SO' it seemed to her--whs due her and a summons to come home and live with the aforesaid aunt and receive the care and education which must have been sadly lacking at the ends of the earth. Polly took the letter to Dean In troubled bewihlertnent. What should she do? Mother Kenyon thought she should go. What did he think? "You must go. dear, by all means;" he advised In what he conceived to be an elder brotherly fashion. "I'ndovbv edly there nre advantages you con have that are Impossible here. Andand greater opportunities for your fu ture happiness." And so it was arranged. Polly w»s to go back on th^ very steamer which had brought the letter. And the steamer would leave the following evening when the tide served, allowing Polly just time to pack her few belongings and bid farewell to all her friends, from the natives to those of Papeete's fluctuating population who had remained long enough to know and love Mother Kenyon's friendly foster child. An hour before -.the boat was due to go Polly slipped away for a few minutes by herself down on the sil ver beach, where a radiant ntoon rode the heavens and the deep boom of the surf smote on one's ears from beyond the reef. Would her new home be as wonderful as the one she was leav ing? She sat for some moments drlnkln? In the beauty of the scene. Then as she turned to go she saw a lonely tig lire pacing the shore, head bent, soir. • distance down the beach. She recognized Dean immediately, started to ward him. then thought better of if and ran toward the hotel. The Maronia's whistles blew shrilly as Everett waited on the dock. Either Polly had not come or else site had pone aboard and forgotten him. Vol there stood Mother Kenyon. the irocleus of a little group. True, everv one came .down to see the boat leave, but she would hardly stand there so complacently had not Polly been duly put aboard. Now they were pulling In the gang plan!). Now there was a steadily widening gap between the boat nnd the dock. Go^dby, little Polly, good by! But what was this sudden whirl wind at his side, which thrust a warn' hand confidently into his? He turned and looked Into Polly's sliinlng eyes. ... "Dean#--you old silly! Why didn't you tell me you--you eared. Instead of that It had to be Mother Kenyon. I asked her If she thought you did and she said 'Yes.' and then--why, of course. I couldn%t go!" "And you'll stay at the end of the earth with me, dear?" asked Dean, not yet sure of his wonderful fortune. "End of the earth, DeanJ" cried Polly.
