The 1rl r. Hicks: 1901 Almanac.

hatever may be said of,the scien-
tific causes upon the Rev. Irl R. Hicks
bases his yea'ly forecasts Of storm
and weather; it is a remarkable fact
that specific warning. Of every great
storm, food, cold wave and: drouth, !
have been plainly printed in his now
famous Almanac for many years.
The latest startling proof Of this fact
was the destruction Of. Galveston,
Texas, on the very day named by
Prof. Hicks in his 1900 Almanac, as
one of disaster by storm, along the
gulf coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by
far the fiuest, most complete and
beautiful yet published, is now ready.
This remarkable beck of near two
hundred pages, splendidly illustrated
with charts and half-tone engravings
goes as a premium to every subscri-
Der who pays one dollar a year for
Prof. Hicks journal, WORD AND WoRKs

Statements of Expense Filed
With Auditor by the County
H., Candidates. :..e

The statements Of expenditures by
the candidates, successful and other
wise, at the late election, have been
fled with the county auditor, and
furnish interesting reading.
The Republican county central
committee, through ito chairman, s.
]. Mckenzie, postmaster Of. Adrian,
acknowledges having used 1915 dur
ing the late unpleasantness. Of
this amount SIG was donated by the
county: candidates, while a generous
chap at st. Paul by the name of Tams
Bixby squandered $l00 of his good
money through the medium of this
committee. AS will be seen thet chair
man acknowledges having received
ZIG from the county candidates,
while these gentlemen in their several
reports admit of being mulcted TO the
tune of $225 in the aggregate, which
does not take into account the con-
tribution of J. n. Denton, who failed
to file his report. II seems that 500
has been lost in the mails or failed to
have reached the distributing officer.
DR.. ]. r. Conway, the Democratic
chairman, spent all told $127, all of
which was contributed by the local
candidates.
The candidates for county Offices
spent the amounts set opposite their
names, as follows:

Mr. John La Fargo, the artist who
lives at Newport, has all the eccentric
ity that is said by the wise to be a
part of genius. The late Bishop Brooks
of Boston was very fond of La Fargo,
and they were excellent friends, but
he hit off the latter's eccentricity in a
single sentence.
Bishop Brooks and a friend were
coming out Of a church where the art
list was decorating a great window.
The friend walked toward a handsome
coupe that was standing in the rain
and said, 81 suppose this is your car
riage, bishop"
'Dear me, nor said the bishop. 81
always walk That's a livery carriage
waiting for La Fargo"
''But La FARCE" said the friend, "has
been working in the church all day and
will continue to work until night"
81 know" said the bishop, his whim-
steal snile drawing the corner of his
mouth, 'but La Fargo can never work
very we'll unless he knows he's keeping
a carriage waiting for him somewhere"

which his dignity suffered-not the

his respects to me. l had by that
time become an expert in the use of
the ''pidgen English" (or business

which the English and Chinese mer.
chants transact their affairs. Natural

addressed the splendidly clad and
handsome big Chinaman whom 1
found waiting upon my return.

want to see me?) etc.
''Is this Mr.. Ralph" said the stately
gentleman. "It does me great honor
to be able to present myself to one of
you" and then followed a list of
complimentary oriental phrases.
