The III R. Hicks 1901 Almanac

Whatever may be said of the
scientific causes upon which the
Rev. Irl r. Hicks bases his year
ly forecasts of storm and weather,
it is remarkable fact that specif.
ic warnings of every great storm,
flood, cold wave and drouth, have
been plainly printed in this now
famous Almanac for manv 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 tar the finest,
most complete and beautiful yet
published, is now ready. This re-
markable book OF near 200 pages,
splendidly illustrated with charts
and half-tone engravings, goes as
premium to every subscriber
who pays one dollar a year for
Prot. Hicks journal, Word and
Works. The Almanac is sent
prepaid for only 25c. Order from

! Written im memory OF my dear
ID friend, Jacob G. Ward. who
led Feb. 10, 1901, after a long
|lness. Everything that kind rel
lives and neighbors with willing
carts and hands could do was
one all to 10, purpose. That
rim monster disease did it's work
IS hour after hour passed by and
10 change was visible, we almost
Fit like asking God to relieve him
rom his great suffering. When
he end came he passed away
,alnly and peacefully. As we
iooked upon his face so calm in
Deaths repose, we could scarcely
believe it was the face we had
seen so drawn with agony How
appropriate the beautiful words
OF the Hymn sang: ga sleep IN
Jesus, blessed sleep from which
none ever wakes to weep"
While the Borrowing wife will miss
him so sadly every hour of the
day and his five sons will miss his
guidance and council; what
beautiful thought 1t is that he is
free from all suffering, and God
has promised to be a friend to the
widow and orphans. 70
stcalthily came the Death Angel,
lowered and then drew near;
Bearing away in his cold embrace
A husband and father dear.
In vain kind relatives and neighbors
Worked both night and day
The dread disease we mt marching on,
Its ravages they could not stay.
Fainter ever fainter
Came the br oath from out the breast;
Then like II child at eventidc
He gently sank to rest.
God called him away from LIES duty,
And he obeyed that voice;
Though aching hearts are left behind,
feel we aught all rejoice.
To know he is free from suffering
From anguish and trouble and pain;
To know the great agony he passed through
Can never assail him again.
The children will miss his council.
The wife cannot express
How the absence of his presence
Fills her heart with deep distress,
But God has promised to be a friend
Tothe widow'sorely tried,
Also comfort to the orphans
II in him they will coniide.
Well never say good bye in heaven,
We sang ms the grave filed.
II spoke to us words of peace and joy
Our hearts were comfortcd and s,iled
Dear old friend the grave las claimed you
Your loved form We'll more
Until we cross Deaths dark river
And meet on the other shore,
In the Springfield Cemetry we laid your re
mains.
Over your grave the winds will blow;
In summer the grass will cover 1t DER,
In winter the pure white snow.

sion. Among them, however, were
several of special interest, including
a bill authorizing the President TO
nominate Lieut.. Commander II. al.
q. Brown, now on the retired list To
be 9 commander ON the retired list.
This measure recalls the Rallanry
OF this officer at the time Of the dis
aster to the American feet at Apia,

excellent Judgment and seamansh in
of Lieut.. Brown, the navigator Of the
SHIN Trenton, thai that vessel VAS
prevented from gong en reef and
her crew of 450 tebtle saytd. The
Trenton was drftiE0 without steam or
rudder, her anchor dragging. scarcely
twenty feet from tha rocks. whe il
Lieut.. Brown put the entire crew in
the rigging, thereby forming lv-
ing sail and guiding the ship cut Of
her peril. Ia recognition of this act
the State OF West Virginia presented
Liert. Brown with sword. MIR.
Dayton's bill seeks TO secure for the
officer merited promotion.
Another bill introduced by Mr.. Day
ton authorizes the Central Railway
of West Virginia to builu bridge
across the Monongahela at or near
Morgantown. This bill failed of pas
sage at the last session.
Congressman Hughes first bin pro-
vides TOR the extension of the pension
laws to the officers and private sol
diers. their widows and children,
who while acting under the orders
of tho governor of West Virginia in
the civil war were disabled in the line
of sdutvawhile cooperating with the
forces Of the United States The
bill further provides that certificate
from the State Adjutant Generals
Office shall be accepted in lieu of an
honorable discharged from the United
States service, and that the provIs-
ions of the general pension laws
shall extend to and include the State
troops and independent companies as
if thew were United States troops.
The bill also provides that pensions
may be paid to those engaged in the
rebellion and who subsequently vol
