Try Et and See.

Whatever may be said about the
publications OF Re. lrl K. Hicks
by those who do not 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 at
tained. His 1897 Almanac is now
ready and is by far the finest and
most beautiful he has yet issued.
1t contains los pages, including
cover artistically printed in colors,
and is filled from back to back with
Just what is wanted in every shop,
office, and home in America. One
feature of the Almanac for 1897 is
a series II original, beautifully en-
graved star maps, with explanatory
chapters, which could not be bought
for less than five dollars in any
work on astronomy. AS Mr.. Hicks
has so correctly and faithfully
warned the public of coming
droughts, floods, cold waves, biz
yards, tornadoes, and cyclones, in
the years passed, aside from the
other varied and splendid features
of bis paper and Almanac, these
considerations alone should prompt
every ia nily to subscribe at once
for 1897. The Almanac is only 25
cts. copy Word and Works is
one dollar a year, and IL copy Of
the fine Almanac goes as prem
ium with every yearly subscription.

Some years ago there lived In England
a certain bishop who was extremely POM

the minds of the poorer people tbs evil OF
doing wrong. AS they never seemed TO do
aught but wrong In the worthy mans
opinion, 1t sometimes became irksome to
these people to hear him con-
stantly admonshing them to do
right. One OF the bishops habits was
to visit the miners a short distance from
his city, and his presence grew familiar
TO those toilers. During one OF his calls
he found a group OF them talking togeth-
err. and after a few preliminary words on
his customary subject of doing right. he
asked them what they were talking OF.
"You see" said one OF the men. I'VE
found a kettle. and US has been er trying
who can tell the biggest loi to own the

how strongly the offence OF lying had
been impressed upon him when he was
young. and how he had never told lie

hardly finished when one Of the men cried
