The lrl X. Hicks 1901 Almanac
a GUEST.

Whatever may be said of the scien'
tific causes upon which the Rev. Irl r.
Hicks bases his yearly forecasts ofstorm
and weather, it is n remarkable fact
that specific warnings Of every greal
storrh, food, cold wave and ,lrouth
have been plainly printed in his now
famous Almanac for many years. The
latest startling preof 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 finest, most com
pletc and beautiful yet published, is
now ready. This remarkable book OF
near two hundred pages, splcndidly T.
lustratcd with charts and hall-tonc en-
cravings, goes as n premium to every
subscriber who pays one dollar year
for Prof, Hicks journal, WORD AND
WORKS. The Almanac alone is sent
prepaid for only DC. Order from WoRn

The tax was attacked m the ground Of
unooustitutionallty, but the Supreme
Court finds 1t conflicts In no essential

The court holds that 1t is not direct

tionment; that it does not belong az
clusiveiy TO state regulation; that the
progressive rata does not violsts unformi-
~, and thAt United States bonds are not

court holds. however, that the tax ap-
Plies 20 the individual legacy and not to
