^ , Told AX \ Fifty Years Ago J. Smith is putting his Cider in order and is now randy to inake apples into cider on short notice. * if Our public sehpol opened on Monday, Sept. 6, under the continued care fQ: 4$ Prof. D. S. Baldwin ,and the same group of teachers as of last year. X Owing to the unfavorable weather tilie party at Grand hall last was not 9rgely attended. t A small steamer from Elgin, with party of hunters, passed up the bound for the lakes on Monday. We learn that L. Stoddard has the Morse residence just north the public square. E. D. Slafter has sold his house to it Story and purchased the house ownid by August Fisher on the west side the public square, now occupied by Lumm. Twenty-five Years Ago During the noon hour last Thursy the fine residence of H. L. Water- $ian at Ripgwood was burned to the Eound. The house was . built about elve years ago and was well coverlid by insurance. The McHenry public school opened list Monday morning with a rather #nall attendance. The reason for <his we are unable to solve. Although the disagreeable condition •iif the weather kept many from attending the picnic at Lily Lake last Sunday a good sized crowd spent :|)ome time there. The writer was shown through the llcHenry public school building last Ijlonday afternoon and was surprised 'Upon finding the building in as nice 4 condition as it ever has been. The German school opened last jHonday with encouraging prospects Kbr the coming year. Father Barth, pastor of St. Mary's church, takes a interest in the school. % Quite a number of cottagers have ft Pistakee Bay and returned to ieir homes in Chicago. 1 The work of laying new tar walks fibout the village is almost completed. Town gossip has it that Gus Carl- Ion has sold his harness shop. THEQOi. zj, ^ Qr M OUTDOORS THE SPIRIT OF PROPRIETORSHIP "It is one of the disappointments of an outing to travel far Into the wilderness to pitch one's tent on a favorite camping ground only to find that another has come in ahead and preempted the site" said Fred Fletcher, member of the National Executive Board of the Izaak Walton League of America, in a recent interview. The woods, it may be true are free to all, and the mere occupancy of a spot even for season after season gives no title, and yet one comes to feel a spirit of proprietorship and to resent intrusion as trespass. One particular ground is endeared to the memory; one feels at home there and if one is robbed of it by another the chagrin is hardly different from that resentment which is engendered by invasion of actual legal rights. Anyone that has enjoyed the privileges of a certain hole along the river, where a big fish always could be caught, knows the feeling that comes over him when upon reaching the coveted spot finds another angler there. Even the old swimmin' hole was the scene of battle when our "gang" discovered the fellows from the east end of town waddling around in waters that seemed our very own. Still, the waters and forests of the silent places were not legally our own and what authority had we when chasing away the neighbor kids from the old swimming hole down in the meadow ? At any rate, it's a wonderful thing that certain spots • in the outdoors really belong to us, even though the coming years may keep us off the cherished location by a sign reading "No Trespassing" which was placed there by the legal owner of what is still called our spot.

Usually at this hour a burst of singing arid the clatter of dishes announced to passersby that the "pretty little red-haired bride" was on the Job. Today the apartment was disturbingly silent. "Not that I'm curious," she was soon explaining to plump Mrs. Walton at the corner gwery. "You know I never pry Into other people's affairs-- but It did seem very queer to me, very queer Indeed. I went around to the courtyard i^nd looked up and every window was shut tight. And there was this peculiar odor. It somehow suggested a. It wasn't ether." "Chloroform?" "That's It.

IDA ANDERSON for six stomach trouble," said Mrs. Ida Anderson, 5528 Cornelia avenue, Chicago. "At times I had so much pain in my back and arms that I could hardly stand it. I tried all kinds of medicines and treatments without result. A friend recommended Konjola and I decided to give it a trial. After ing seven bottles of this medicine the results have been more than I ar> ticipated. I am no longer troubled with pains in my back and arms and can now enjoy life as I should. I also find Konjola very good for one'3 stomach and it has proven a very fine system cleaner." Konjola is free from alcohol, nerve deadening drugs or heart depressing chemicals. When given a real test, in most cases over a six to eight week period, it can do for anyone all that it did for Mrs. Anderson. Konjola is sold in McHenry, 111., at Bolger's Drug store and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.

Philip Armstrong looked op from his desk, annoyed by the chatter of the filing clerks inside the next partition. He half rose from his chair to ask for quiet, overheard some one say "The Waverly Court Apartments" and sank back to listen. "Go go on, Lorna. It's like hearing a newspaper story before it comes out" Only I don't know the end. Anyway this young couple had been living there for about six months, and they seemed crazy about each other, she said--which doesn't sound 4lk« suicide. But all the doors and windows were shut tight and stuffed round the edges with rags, and bur* glars wouldn't do that. Then ther#^ was this terrible smell of chloroform* simply overpowering, and no answer, to all their pounding on the door." "My heavens, girls--what alls Mifc Armstrong?

Suddenly they realised that the door of their apartment stood opeli and that from within there came forth a faint but decidedly anesthetic odor and the sound of voices.
