At the beginning of each year prophets
and astrologers and all sorts of folks
with long-distance vision start in to lay
bare the future with as much confidence
as the rhyme makers turn out poetry in
the first flush of spring. One of the
most persistent of these prophets is a per-
son in London known as "Old Moore"
For many years he has issued in the lat
ter part of December a publication called
-'Old Moore's Almanac" Just how Did
Moore is does not appear, but he has
been in the business of making almanacs
and prophecies for so many years that
Londoners have come to look forward to
the appearance of his almanac and ;ss
prophecies with something of the same
interest they manifest toward the holiday
season.
AS a guesser of what is going to happen
'Old Moore" has been more successful
than the majority of those in the same
business. Indeed. many Londoners-prac-
teal men and women at that-have be-
come firmly convinced that "Old Moore"
can see visions and dream dreams and
that they will come true. His almanac
for 1900 contained, among other things
the statement that ones and only one Eu-
ropean monarch would be assassinated dur
ing the year; and there would be more
than one great war. and that India would
be visited by terrible famine. A man
in the prophesyiug business can predict
a famine in India in almost any old year
and be pretty certain to have the proph-
ecy come true. India rather runs to
famines. and a person with only short
distance sight might venture on a pre-
diction of that kind. 1t is rather differ

mated in any one year, as was the case
in 1900. Because of these prophecies and
others which came true Londoners have
been looking forward with rather unusual
interest TO odd Moores" almanac for
1901.
The almanac was ISSUED about two
weeks ago. and, among other predictions,
its author made the following:
In January there will be formidable
agitation in France and severe attack
will be made upon the republic"
In February and March most notable
events will take place in the extreme
East, and India viii threaten to rise up
against British domination"
April will be comparatively quiet
month, although there will be trouble in
various quarters during the entire year"
In May Ireland will follow the example
of India and rebel against England"
In June the anarchists will again come
TO the front and will give the world much

the young King of Spain will be in dan
ger from his political enemies and he Is
cautioned to guard against them"
July VIII be a month of catastrophes
the whole world being threatened at this
time with misfortunes of various kinds
Those who are planning to take a Journey
during his month will do well to remain
at home
August will be comparatively quiet
During September India will again sur
Ter terribly from famine"
During October the Dervshes VIII start
an agitation which may attain Formidable
proportions"
