CRONICA
Lo IDEAL xLo REAL
RICARDO VoNZ.

Rechazar al uno al otro por antit6-
ticos es un absurdo. Sin ell uno DO po-
dria existir 81 otro pues ell progreso
despues de todo no es mas que la armo-
MA de 10 real Y 10 ideal la lueha de 10
que Sc eleva por ell cielo de la vida con
10 que rastrea por la terra.
Cusndo 10 ideal 10 real van por ell
mundo como don Quijote y Sancho, son
motores del progreso que realizan ell
bien la virtud pero cuando ell desc
quilibrio Sc establece entire esas dos
potencias, la muerte de nno de los dos
es segura. 7 que triste es yer morir

Yo les he visto por la calle apoyan-
dose ell uno en- ell otro, pero no como
dos buenos amigos, sino como pudiera
apoyarse la vfctima en- ell verdugo.
Ella era una mujer vaporosa, rubia,

Prophet Hicks Predictions.

1t Plays a Prominent Part In Weather
Prophet Hicks Predictions.
At Wells, Mo, is what might be termed
a cyclone lighthouse, and its keeper is Rev.
Israel r. Hicks. This discerning weather
sharp keeps hot on the trail of the planets
by means of a small but powerful telescope,
and when what he terms 1.-THE spirit OF the
air. gives him tip that cyclone medi-
tates swooping down on one part of the
country, or that floods will rage in another,
he forthwith sends out warning from his
cyclone lighthouse to the land mariners in
the threatened districts. If they are wise,
they at once seek high land to avoid the
floods or crawl into their cyclone cellars to
escape the wrath of the wind.
Wells is eight miles west of St. Louis,
and one of It's conspicuous buildings is Sky
View, Rev. Hicks cottage and observatory.
1t is situated on high knoll commanding
a wide view of the surrounding country,
and the architectural excrescence on the
roof is the prophets observatory. When
his bulletins first appeared, they attracted
little attention, but in 1892 it is said, just
90 per cent of his predictions were fulfilled
by the elements. 1t is further declared
that every special warning sent out from
Sky View in 10 years has been followed by
some calamity which destroyed many lives
and vast amount of property. The conse-
quence is that when Prophet Hicks now
announces that a cyclone will strike some
town the majority of the residents run to
cover at once.
1t is said that Hicks predicted the Penn
sylvania flood in 1889 which resulted in the
breaking of the dam above Jamestown, and

enemies, the Karageorgevicz, ordescendants
of "Black George were not idle, however,
and In 1855 they assassinated King Michael
while he was walking in public park.
Milan, Michael's nephew, then took the
crown. A law was passed making the
Obrenovitch family the only lawful heirs to
the throne, and Prince Karageorgevicz, who
claimed TO be the proper subject for kingly
honors, was banished forever from Servia

Her Relationship.

A good story is told of belle who was
noted for her wit. At dinner party the
lady in question, the daughter of distin-
guished judge, was seated next to gen
tleman whom she had not met before, who
was visiting the city on business which
had brought him In contact with the Judge
mentioned, who had a short time previous
ly decided case against him.
At the dinner the gentleman, who had
not caught the name of the lady when in
troduoed, took occasion to vent his feelings
and express his opinions of the judge in
terms anything but complimentary.
An awful pause in the conversation in
dicated something wrong, and the gentle
man at once expressed to the lady his hope
that the judge was no relative Of hers, to
which, to the infinite amusement of all
present, she replied:
"Oh, no. Only connection of my
mothers by marriageW
A shout of laughter could not be pre-.
vented, and the gentleman, after little
reflection, came slowly to the conclusion
that the judges family were altogether
"too much" for him.-London Tit-Bits
