AN exchange tells of a man who claim­ ed he was too poor to take his home paper, but all the same he read a notice in a down east paper, telling how to pre­ vent horses from slobbering, and sent $1.50 for the recipe. When the $150 worth of information come, it said: •'Teach your horse to spit." RICHARD THOMPSON, who had so many ,sheep killed by dogs a few w^eks ago, re­ ceived another visit from the same source on Tuesday morning, and he found fourteen killed and nine badly bit­ ten. It is a pity that these miserable, worthless curs cannot be caught in the act so that summary justice could not „be dealt out to them on the spot. SOME miserable sneak thief stole a lot of turkeys belongingto Mrs. Ed. Sutton, a day or two before Thanksgiving. Such pilfering at this time of the year is be­ coming altogether too common, and especial effort should be made to ferret out the offenders and punish them as they deserve.

Mr. Sprague is the happy possessor of a "versatile talent, finely modulated voice and a remarkable happv presence. As a character impersonator he has no superior." An exchange in speaking of him &ays: Herbert A. Sprague, the impersonator, moat delightfully entertained a large and appreciative audience Tuesday even­ ing: with the presentation of the play, "Rip Van Y\ inkle." Mr. Spra?ue is an artist in every sense of that term, and he gave an exceptionally brilliant exhibi­ tion of the impersonator's art on that occasion. Remember the date." On Wednesday evening of next week, Dec. 9, at the City Hall. OUR Public School closed ad usual for Thanksgiving, and on Wednesday after­ noon the teachers and scholars in the different rooms held short, impromptu exercises, which proved highly interest­ ing to those from the outside who were fortunate enough to be present. And in speaking of our Public School it gives UP pleasure to be able to say that we now have one the best schools in McHenry county. Prof. Brazier, during his short residence here has proved himself as emi­ nently qualified for the responsible posi­ tion which he fills, and with his able corps of teachers is making McHenry School second to none. And we can truthfully aay we have not heard one word of complaint since the Bchool open­ ed. Every teacher, from Principal down, are giving universal satisfaction. This is gratifying to all who have the good of our schools at heart. Let every patjron step in, and by his encouraging words aid the teachers in the good work and by the time the term closes all will have good cause to feel proud of the McHenry Public School.

We have no excuses to offer our readers for ttr&-*arge amount of adver­ tising we jeuways cjarry. It is a compli­ ment to the subscribers as well as to this paper. A compliment to the paper as being a paper that is read by the people, and a compliment to the subscribers as being desirable purchasers, men and women who read and judge, and buy and pay for what they get. Besides the ads make good, interesting reading. These merchants are fully alive to the necessity of advertising their wares in a clean live paper, that goes into the homes of the largest number of families in McHenry County. We advise each' reader to look the announcements of these merchants over carefully before buying. Money can be saved by sq doing. Merchants who advertise are universally the live, ener­ getic, ^responsible business men, who have faith in their goods and prices, and are nfift afraid to merit competition. DIED.-- Iny Chicago, on Saturday last, Nov. 28th, Joseph Barbian, aged; 80 years. He was a brother of Nicholas Barbian of this village. Mr. Barbian and his son Frank J., went in on Monday afternoon, to attend the funeral, which was held on Tuesday. . -.v ; V THE entertainment8 at the City Hall, this Wednesday evening, under the aus­ pices of the Macabees, promisee to be one of the finest given here in many a a day. Mrs Dixon comes highly recom­ mended by both the public and the press and deserves, as she will no doubt receive; a full house. AN exchange says that every day in the week is set apart by some nation as a Sabbath, or day of rest. Monday is the Greek Sunday; Tuesday among the Persians; Wednesday among the Assyri­ ans; Thursday among the Egyptians; Friday among the Turks; Saturday among the Jews and Sunday among the christians. THE C. & N. W. railroad as a matter of economy poW expects its engines to run 100,000, miles, or a period of three years, before going into the shops for repairs. Heretofore a passenger engine used to go in -about once a year. The employees are laid off, in detachments, for a week at a time, because the shojjs are not running as full time as they did before this order went into effect. THERE are ten things for which no one has yet ever been sony. These are: For doing good to all; for speaking evil of none; for hearing before judging; for thinking: before speaking; for holding an angry tongue; for being kind to the dis­ tressed; for asking pardons for all wrongs; for being patient; for stopping ears of a talebearer; for disbelieving most of the ill reports. --WE are very anxious, says an exchange to receive some of the new silver certifi­ cates of the denominations of one, two or five dollars. Any of our subscribers having any of these bills will confer a fa­ vor by furnishing us some of them. We will be quite willing to credit the sub­ scribers with the full face value cf the bills on subscription; and while we are at it we will say that any other kind [of United States money will do. "I WISH that, every farmer in the county would have his name printed on his barn," remarked a business man thq other^day. "Now I drove out about eight miles in the country yesterday and and to-day I traced out the route on the map and find I passed the places of half a dozen friends and customers with whom I would like to have stopped and spoken, but didn't know where they lived The farmer in turn wonders why the man he patronizes and knows so well in town, cannot stop and shake hands in the country. Paint your name on your barn and the world will grow more social. IT frequently happens that a stranger coming into a community and putting on the airs of a gentleman is taken up at once and lionized, though nothing what­ ever may be known of his antecedents, and the sequel often proves that it is not best to take up with strangers too eagerly. The old friends whom we have kuown all our lives and whose characters are firm and established as the everlast­ ing hills, are too apt to be commonplace to us, but we know they will do to tie to and it is not best to give them up for those whom we do not know. The man or woman who builds up a good charac­ ter and maintains it for years in the same community deserves some consid­ eration, and the friendship of such peo­ ple is to be preferred at all times to the more showy attentions of strangers.-#!. "RAMBLER," in Elgin Every Saturday, makes the following truthful remarks: "Did it ever occur to you, gentle reader, that the live merchants, the merchants who are up-to-date, are the merchants who advertise. They are handling the trade, they are selling the goods, they are getting in new goods, they are offer­ ing novelties and seasonable bargains, while the slow-going dealer is trying to work of his.oid left-overs. It is the rule everywhere that the merchant of to-day, the man who is abreast of the times is a liberal advertiser. It will pay our readers to patronize the merchants who invite them through our columns. They want and will appreciate your trade. Every one ' of them is reliable. Pleaee observe that not a line of junkshop ad­ vertising ever cumbers our columns." Our New President's March. We have just received a copy of "Our New President's March," composed by Juliet'^. Norton. This4s one of the finest marches for piano or organ ever pub­ lished in America. It is dedicated to the Republican,Party of the United States.

V^illey, "died at their home in Chicago on Sunday evening, Nov. 22, at half past ten o'clock, after a serious illness of three weeks duration. Feverish symptoms, accompanied with great restlessness, first awakened anx­ iety, whereupon a physician wasjjonsult- ed who pronounced her condition ty­ phoid, Which soon developed into typhoid pneumonia. A few dayalater fatal com­ plications made recovery impossible, and during the remaining hours untiring skill and care could only ease--not save --the precious child life. Little Clara was beloved by all who knew her. The bright- dimpling smile, the dancing eyes,so full of shine, the im­ pulsive, loving heart and the sweet, sun­ ny nature, all these combined to make her a winning, loving, irresistable child. "The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away." The earthly radiance of the lit­ tle life is ended, The smile is still, the eyes are closed, the voice is silent and the little chair is empty. The small, tired body rests to-day in the peace of a last undreaming sleep; but the child, pure and beautiful, lives on in the realmsof light, a new life, "safe from sorrow and from sin." - . ; Funeral services were held in the Unj- versaliut church, of McHenry, at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, Nov. 25, Dr. Straub speaking words of comfort and hope. Many beautiful floral offer­ ings eloquently told the sorrow of sym­ pathizing friends, and three appropriate musical selection sweetened the solemn hour. After this the casket was taken to Woodland cemetery where the little- torm, in its unconscious beauty was laid to rest. Not long before her death Clara open­ ed her large wondering eyes and said: "Mamma, are we home?" Dear little heart, she is home now, home with Him who said: "Suffer littlechildren to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for oi such is the kingdom of Heaven." JULIA.

Whatever may be said about the pub­ lications of Rev. Irl. 11. Hicks by those who do not fully understand the facts, there is no denying the truth that his paper and Almanac have come to stay. His splendid journal, Word and Works, is now entering its tenth year, largely in­ creased in circulation and in every way improved, until it deserves the national reputation it has attained. His 1897 Almanac is now ready and is by far the finest and most beautiful he has yet issued. It contains 108 pages, including cover artistically printed in colors, and is filled from back to back with just what is wauted in every shop, office and home in America. One feature of the Alma­ nac for 1897 is a seriee of 12 original, beautifully engraved star maps, with ex­ planatory chapters, which could not be bought for less than $5 in any work on astronomy. As Mr. Hicks has so cor­ rectly and faithfully warned the public of coming drouths, floods, co!d waves, bliz­ zards, tornadoes and cyclones, in the years passed, aside from the ot her varied and splendid features of his paper and Almanac, these considerations aloue should prompt every family to subscribe at once for 1897. The Almanac is only 25 cents a copy. Word and Works is one dollar a year, and a copy of the Almanac goes as a premium with every yearlv subscription.
