Tho IrI r. Hicks 1901 Almanac.

Whatever may be said of the sci
entifc causes upon which the Rev.
Irl R. Hicks bases his yearly fore
casts of storm and weather, it is a
remarkable fact that specific warn
ing 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 finest,
most complete and beautiful yet
published, is now ready. This re-
markable book of nearly two hun
dred pages, splehdidly illustrated
with charts and half-tone engravings
goes as a premium to every sub
scriber who pays one dollar a year
for Prof. Hicks journal, Word and
Works. The Almanac alone is sent
prepaid for only 2sc. Order from

one reports splendid time.
Geo. Fowler was in this locality one day
last week.
We were very much worried over the fact
that we had seen Henry Burford, of near
Fowler, going south with trunk strapped on
behind the buggy. We thought he was leav-
ing the country, but our mind has been re-
lieved as we have seen him going in the same
direction several times since. He seems to
have standing appointment down in Sand

Five Chinese slave girls were
sold at public auction in San
Francisco's Chinatown the other
day, as publicly as though they
had been in Canton, where such
human slavery is recognized
institution. The girls were the
property of Gong Cow, who
wanted to go back to China, so he
advertised the furniture and
chattels of his establishment for
sale at auction. When the sale
began there was a large crowd.
The girls were exhibited and the
auctioneer enumerated their good
points. They stood stolidly by,
as they were used to such pro-
ceedings, having been sold in
Canton before they were brought
here. They fetched fancy prices,
as the restriction act is so rigid
ly enforced now that it is difficult
to get pretty Chinese girls into
the country. They sold at from
ST.. 700 to So, 500 each and were at
once removed to the quarters of
their new owners. Mail and
Breeze.

When your boy gets a licking,
don't get your back up and raise
h about it but do your Christian
duty by giving him one yourself.
Have him understand that he will
have no protection for his bad
conduct, and it will make little
man of him, and you and his
teacher will be proud of him
some day. The jails and peni-
tentiaries are full of men whose
parents kicked whenever they re-
ceived punishment at school.
Never let your boy realize that
you sympathize with him and
you will have no trrub1e with him
at school, but the moment he
finds he has protection at home
for his deyiltry, then he is sure
to provoke his teacher and make
trouble. Solomon said beat the
whey out of them when necessary
and they would be good boys,
and when they get old they would
do their own Notwithstanding
Record.
