H ERE'S TO You, SENTINEL Receipt is hereby acknowiedged 'of a, bound copy of the 8Olth anniversary number oi the Wood- stock Daily Sentinel, published at Woodstock, Ili., by Charles F. Renicli and a capable corps of assistants. The paper was established in 1856, was his most .ambitious unnertalcing. It cantains 76 'pages af regular ne wspaper size, and is re- plete with pictures of persons and places' identi-' fied with the progress ai Woodstock since its ,organizatian in 1844. The edition is a veritable gold mine ai bistoricai data that shouid be ob-ý tained and retained by e veryý persan identified with the activities of Woodstock, past or present. It wvas a linge undertalcing splendidiy accom- p lished, and our bat is off ta Editor Renicbh and bis organization. Chicago police are nothing if flot consideraté -and forward Iooking.

By creep- ing quietly tbrough the marshy growths bordering the lagoon one miglit occa- sionally catch a glimpse or full view of the birds. In time 'they produced two young, wbich they may very naturally have considered something 1ess than a teyara ot a nearby man-neighbor, where One was prbmptly killed by a dog and the other cap- tnred ly the lady of the hanse, who cansed it to be retnrned ta tbe parental wings. One wonders in what manner the tiny duckling madle knownl ta mother and dad the details ai the tragedy that bad been visited upon the family.
