A*a ty Years Af#\ Died--In this village, on Monday morning, Dec. 29th, 1879, of tuberculosis softening of the lungs, complicated with congestion, George A. Bucklin, aged 45 years. Our friends, Charles B. Gordon and George Owen, each had a handsome Christmas present, said to bfe worth $10,000 each. Jordan's arrived Christmas eve and weighed eight pounds, while Owen aaw him and went two pounds better on Christmas night. Both are girls. Math Coleman, a somewhat noted braiser, got into some tioublc at Casper Wirfs' dance Friday night and r drew a revolver, for which offense he was arrested by Marshall Walsh, and on Saturday morning Justice P«rry put him under $800 bonds to appear before the circuit court. The union Christmas tree at the Universalist church drew out a large crowd and all report a very pleasant Itee. Twewty-flre Tears Age One of the most notable reonions that has ever been our pleasure to notice took place in this village on Christmas day at the Hotel Park. The occasion was the reunion and celebration of the four generations of the decendants of the Parker and Kennedy families. Christmas was observed in the Mc- Henry churches in a fitting manner. The day was not of the Christmas order, but, nevertheless, the children were all made happy by the visit of Mr. Santa Claus. The leap year dance given by the "Just Us" club at Stoffel's hall last Monday evening was attended by about seventy couples. The music furnished by Reed's orchestra was fine, and supper, served by the popular hostess, Mrs. Eli Brink, was of the order which pleases. Mr. and Mrs. Nick Weber, who reside just east of the river bridge on the Pistakee Bay road, are*the happy parents of a baby girl. The young lady arrived last Thursday. The basketball games at the city - hall last Friday evening were both won by the regulars, although the "scrubs" gave them quite a tussle. Have you a house to rent? Trx. a classified ad. TtaQLt TteOUTDOORS WHAT THE OLD GUIDE SAYS •*The sentiment that it is not all of fishing to fish nor all of shooting to shoot is one which sounds well when interjected into a record of success in the field; but gives sorry copifort in alleviation of the disappointment and chagrin which crown an utterly barren enterprise with rod and gun," remarked old Hank, the guide, as he shoved his ram-rod down the barrel of his aged twelve gauge. When one goes for fish or game he wants something tangible to show for it; that is, unless he shall be content to dodge all his sportmen friends, or cultivate the arts of deceit and dissimulation. "Now, listen--by this statement 1 do not mean that It is necessary to go out and take the limit every time you go afield, but I do realiie that the average sportsman tires of listening to the birds sing, watching the butterflies flit about or witness beautiful scenery while his fly remains untouched, by a trout, or his gun silent on account of shooting no game. No angler likes to be called a poor fisherman, neither does a hunter welcome the 'kidding' received when he returns with an empty bag. "To be a good, clean sportman does not necessarily mean that you should throw back 98 percent of the fish you hook or pass up most of the game you could shoot--not by a long shot--but it does mean that every day common sense should be practised when outdoors and any man, woman or child that practises good conservation feels in his, or her, own heart that they are true sportmen. The real sportsman takes only what he needs from natures playground and leaves the largest share for future propagation. "The Izaak Walton League of Am Italian Rooster Mast Not Disturb Neighbors Italians love their sleep and woe be to any one or anything which tends to disturb It. Because of the deferiutna- Hon of authorities to preserve quiet during the hours of slumber, even the most time-honored of natural alarm clocks, the rooster, has been put onto the blacklist In several communities. Recently In the commune of Volosca Abbazia, In the neighborhood of Fluuit-., a storm of protest was raised because an amateur poultry raiser insisted up on keeping a loud-winded male among his flock of hens, contrary to the local laws. The police lost no time In calling upon the lawbreaker, and a public execution of the miscreant (the rooster) was held. Now the citizens of the community are able to sleep until their normal hours of rising, albeit the local chicken keepers find their business less profitable than might be If they were able to sell eggs. Apparently there is no law pre venting a person from keeping hens on the premises; simply because a hen cannot crow. Working Way Through ^ College No New Tfcrng The practice earning one's way through college is just about as old in America as are colleges themselves. Some one who has been poring over Harvard college records has discovered that Zachariah Bridgen, who entered as freshman in 1657, when but fourteen years old, earned his way, at least In part, by "ringinge the bell and waytinge." The bureau of education at Washington refers to this as the first in stance on record of a student work lug his way; but Harvard was twentyone years old when Bridgen entered, and as students were not, as a rule, wealthy In those days, the chances are altogether in favor of the presumption that In every one of those twenty-one years there were students working to pay their way, whether the work was erica represents everything that done for the college itself, as In means good sportsmanship and conservation. This organization has done wonders in preserving what is left of 'our outdoors and it is my wish that 'every lover of nature becomes a member and worker of this great conservation movement. By helping the League with its great program of game restoration, fisn propagation, forest reserves, refuges and fight against pollution we all will be able to enjoy better shooting, fishing and outdoor life in years to come. And besides, it means a lot to those who are to follow us. I'd hate to think of my children being: unable to enjoy the outdoors when they grow up-- wouldn't you? VfwM Teaches Patience No man can learn patience but fey going out Into the burly-burly world and taking life Just as it flows.-- Beecher. Bridgen's case, or for some private employer. His Staunch Belief Rev. Cole Black, negro minister of Muddy Waters, La., was baptizing his converts In the river. Clepsydra Melon water was among them. As Reverand Black was bringing Clepsydra out of the water be asked: "Does yo' believe?" "No, sah,'r replied Clepsydra. Reverend Black scowled. Clepsydra was ducked again and the minister asked: "Now, does yo' J>elleve?" "Yes, sah. Ah surely does," replied; the gasping Clepsydra. "Tell de people what yo' believe,' directed the good man. "Well," Clepsydra addressed the crowd, "Ah believe de ol* son-o'-a-gun was iryin' to drown me."--Capper's Weekly. WILLIAM M.

Work a Necessity Work is really as much a necessity to a man's well being as eating and sleeping. There Is a penalty for the neglect of food or of sleep. The neglect of work has also Its penalty--deterioration of character. Work is too often regarded in the light of a punish ment--an evil which has to.be endured, unless haply It can be avoided. Work is a suprepie good. It Is the most lasting pleasure. The knowledge of work well done "makes music at midnight 1" Carlyle, speaking of Industry, says: "Work is the cure for all the maladies and miseries of man-- honest work, which you intend gfUlfg done."--Mrs. Carl Kemaha*.

The original tale has It that St. Apollonla was a virgin of advanced age who suffered martyrdom in A. D. 248 at Alexandria, when the Christians were being persecuted. The peculiar method of torture to which she was subjected was having her teeth knocked out, her jaws crushed, and then, when a pyre had been lighted and she had been asked to abjure Christianity, she leaped into the flames and died a martyr's death* >j|w Zettk Sunday World, V ; Handicaps le Friendship ' " , ; " Friendship is too pure a pleUfa# for a mind cankered with ambition or the lust of power.--Junius.
