The Irl X. Hicks 1901 Almanac.

Whatever may be said of the scien-
tific causes upon which the Rev. Irl
r. Hicks bases his yearly forecasts of
storm and weather. it is remarkable
fact that specific warnings of every
great storm, flood, cold wave and
drouth, have been plainly printed in
hi now famous almanac for many
years. The latest startling proof of
this fact was the destruction of Gal
weston, 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 beauti-
full yet published, is now ready. This
remarkable book of near two hundred
pages, splendidly illustrated with
charts and half-tone engravings, goes
as a premium 10 every subscriber who
pays one dollar year for Prof Hicks
journal, Word and Works. The AL.
manac alone is sent prepaid for only

the Lenediction. The queen passed
away quite peacefully She suffered

chapter of international history, for
the court ladies went busily to work

paralytic stroke, accompanied by in

first illness in all her 81 years, ana

Will Kill any Town.

The census of Strawberry point
has been at standstill during the
past decade. Most of the other towns
show decided increase in population,
but this one town made no advance
ment; and the cause is undoubtedly
lack of public spirit. From the Ell
kader Democrat we clip the following,
which was written by the Strawberry
Point correspondent:
This town probably has more wealthy
deadbeats than any other town in the
state of Iowa The opportunities here
for building and business are great.
The surrounding country equals in
fertility the surroundings of any town
we know of. The land is level and off
to the east, South and West, dead level
streets could be laid as far as the eye
could reach. But our able and monied
men are as dead ones. If they cannot
get from 10 to 25 per cent by using their
money in building up their home town,
and thereby increasing the value of
their own property, they will put it
back in the bottom of the bank vault
and be content with three per cent.
Edgewood and Arlington on each side
of US are introducing the rural mail
routes and of course are coming up to
our city limits and taking the mail
right away from our doors. The, citiz-
ems of ability allow this, and this spirit
is the one that keeps Strawberry Point
where she has been for twenty years
and makes her rut in the path of
progress rather than helper and a
standard of progression.

VICTORIA DEAD-EDwARD REIGNs
Great Event Takes Place on the Ami
yersary of Duke OF kent's Death.

Great Event Takes Place on the Ami
yersary of Duke OF kent's Death.
Cowes, Isle of Wight, Jan. %. =
Queen Victoria is dead and Edward
VII reigns.
The events of the last few days are
too fresh to need repetition. At the
lodge gates the watchers waited nerv-
ously. Suddenly along the drive from
the house came horseman who cried,
1.-THE Queen is dead!' as he dashed
through the crowds.
Then down the hillside rushed a
myriadof messengers, passing the fate
full bulletin from one to another. Soon
the surrounding country knew that a
king ruled over Great Britain. The
local inhabitants walked as il in a
dream through the streets Of COwes,
but they did not hesitate to stop to
drink the health of the new monarch.
Meanwhile the lighting was flashing
the sad and important news to the
ends of the world and the empires en-
sign. in great procession, followed
the drum-roll round the world and
hung half-masted.
The greatest event in the memory of
change in existing conditions that
could possibly be imagined, has taken
place quietly, almost gently, upon the
anniversary or the death of Queen
Nictoria's father, the Duke of Kent.
The end Of this career, never equalled
by any woman in the worlds history,
came in slmply-furnished room in
Osborne House. Around her were
gathered almost every descendant of
her line. Well within view of her dy-
ing eyes there hung portrait of the
Prince COnSort. 1t was he who de-
signed the room and every part of the
castle.
In scarcely audible words the white
haired bishop of Winchester prayed
beside her rs he had often prayed with
his sovereign, for he was her chaplain
ut Windsor With bowed heads the
imperious ruler of the German empire
and the man who Is now king Of
England, the woman who has succeed.

The Red Oak Express says: "The
young people of this town who indulge
in the dizzy waltz will hear with inter
est that the heads of Washington and
New York society have declared that
sitting out waltz will be more fasci-
mating than dancing from now on.
The sitting out embodies the same po-
sition as dancing-the only difference
being that you sit instead Of dance.
The mans right arm Is around the
girls waist while his left hand holds
her right. Her left hand is placed on
his shoulder while her head rests low
ingly upon his bosom, aud all they
have to do is to sit and listen to the
music. Now that is something like it.
We have always regarded it as nui-
sance to have to gallop mile or two
to get hug or two A room full of
people sitting around on sofas yhugging
to music is more to our notion. This
will give the old rheumaticky brethren
another good chance to waltz. Most
men waltz, not for the dance but for
the position, and while many a man
may Sc his appetite for dancing, he
has to get powerfully old before he 10 SEES
