That's All • Bill didn't have to study for his mid-term examinations. Heck, be knew all the answers. Why, he probably could take over the professors' places and show them a thing or two. He took his algebra test and somehow they hadn't worded the questions^ just right. Gee, they certainly thought up ways to make it tough for a fellow. A few days later the results of the algebra examination were given and Bill was mighty discomforted with his mark. He went Into the professor's office and said, "Sir, I really don't believe that I rated an absolute zero in that test." "I'm sorry," said the professor, "but that is the lowest I'm permitted to give."

Every night the owner of a shoe store dreamed that he walked along a street he had never been on before and saw a store located in a perfectly Ideal spot. Customers hurried in and out, spending money with ffcee and easy hands. But the dream always ended just before he, himself, could get in to see if he could purchase it. And the devil of it was that the proprietor always looked out of the dream as if he were not only willing but anxious to sell the store to the shoe-shop owner. One afternoon, while visiting a strange city on business, the man found himself walking on the street of his dreams. His eyes wide with disbelief, he looked around for the store of his dreams. There it was! Even to the same familiar face of the proprietor. He saw that the proprietor was just closing the doors so he fushed over. "Quick," he panted, "how much do you want for the store?" The proprietor shook his head sadly. "I wouldn't advise you to buy it," «Ae warned. "Why not?" the anxiqus man demanded. "It's haunted," was the reply. "Haunted? By whom?" wheezed the man in desperation. , "You," was the soft reply as the door snapped shut in his face.

PHONE 811 FORTY YEARS AGO During the heavy rain last Sunday morning the mill dam went out and for a time it was feared that the ravaging water would destroy the new cement bridge in Centerville. The pickle season is again here and at the local factory the cucumbers were coming in at the rate of 103 bushels per day. The Borden M"ilk company has definitely decided to replace the old mill dam with a permanent cement structure, work on which has already been commenced. Should the present McHenry Electric Service company be forced to discontinue business on account of non-support, the village would wait a long time before electric service would again be instituted here. , Rendezvous Judge--"Did you ever see this prisoner before the bar in your life?"
