Rev. Irl R. Hicks 1908 Almanac.

To say that this splendid work of SCI
ence and art is finer and better than
ever, is stating it mildly. The demand
for it is far beyond all previous years.
To say that such results, reaching
through thirty years, are not based on
sound sense and usefulness, is an insult
to the intellig ence of the millions. Prof.
Hicks, through this great almanac, and
scientific journal, Word and Works, is
doing work for the whole people not
approached by any other man or publi-
cation. A fair test will prove this to
any reasonable person. Added to the
most luminous course in astronomy for
1908, forecasts of storms and weather
are given, as never before, for every
day in the year, all charmingly illus
trated with nearly two hundred engrav-
ings. The price of single almanac, in
cluding postage and mailing, is thirty
cents. Word and Works with the al
manac is 81 year. Write to Word and
Works Publishing Co., 22O1 Locust St.,
st. Louis, Mo-, and prove to yourself
their great value.

Died in Commissions.

Will F, Hite, living near Millville,
Lincoln county, died a horrible death a
few days ago. Hite and two other men
were bitten by mad dog three months
ago. The other two went to maidstone,
but Hite, not believing in its virtues,
did not go. All sense of danger was
banished from his mind until the morn
ing of Nov. 8, when he complained of
having peculiar feelings, and soon un-
mistakable evidence and symptoms of
hydrophobia became apparent even to
himself. Pathos was added to his fear
full death by the fact that when he fully
realized that the deadly venom was be-
ginning its work, being alone with his
wife and children, he went into room
and barred the windows and doors, and
there alone awaited the end. His arm
showed that he had bitten himself in
his commissions.

BISHOP HOSS
Selects Dallas, Texas, as the Place of HIS
Residence.

Nashville is to lose Bishop E. E. Hoss
as a permanent resident. The announce
ment of his decision to locate in Dallas
is made in the Texas Christian Advo-
cate, and this appears to be authorita-
lively done. The Advocate says:
"We have it on good authority that
after careful consideration of the in-
vitation extended to him by our dele
gates to. the recent general conference
to locate in Texas that Bishop E. E.
Hoss, d. D., has finally made up his mind
to come to this great state some time
during 1908; and of his own accord he
has selected this city as the most eligi-
BILE place to reside.
'From this place he will be able to
reach all portions of the state wherever
his services will conduce to the success
of our work. That he has thus decided
to locate here will be received with Joy
throughout Texas. Texas gave him
thirty-six votes for the episcopacy; he
was elected in this city and ordained
to his great Office here, and it is but
natural that this is to be his home.
Bishop Hoss, too, is a universal favor
ite as man in Texas. None of his
public work as q correctional officer
has ever created any antagonism to him
out this way and he has the right OF
way to all hearts and homes. His COM
ing will be accorded a great welcome
and he will prove potent factor in the
development of Texas Methodism. lie
is in the prime Of life, wonderfully en-
dowed in mind and heart, and scholar
of rare accomplishments and gifted as O
preacher. He is, therefore, capable Of
aggressive leadership and the Texas
hosts will follow him cheerfully in the
struggle to build up the church in this
empire of the southwest"
1t is understood that he will be pro.
vided with home in Dallas. The peo-
pie of Nashville were anxious for Bish-
op Hoss to remain in that city, and the
announcement that he has decided 9th.
erwise will be matter of regret, moi
only among Methodists, but to the gen

The Sayings of Children.

These sayings of children may
amuse your readers. I vouch for them
all as true bills. Tommy's grandmother

his mother is emancipated. They we're
staying in small town were postmen
are not employed. Passing church
with some "grown-ups" one day, said
Tommy (aged three: "That's where
my granny goes on Sunday" "And

"No, she doesn't go there" Where
does she go?" ''She goes to the post
Office" Arthur, aged six, had sue
cumbed for the second time to the at
fractions of an exposed and unprotect-

first fall ought to have warned him, and
pointed the moral of st. Peter and the
cock. A deep sigh, quiyer of the lip,
and: "But, mamma, the cock in the
back street is dead, and you can't ex-
pect me to remember st. Peter with a
hen." A little child trying to count
the trees from the window of train,
exclaimed; "How fast they run; and
they've only one leg" A four-year-old
was relating with dramatic feeling an
assault from her brother, aged six.
"And he hit me, and he pinched me,
and he" "Oh, but what did you do
to him?" ~ wasn't talking about that. y

"No shade, no shine, no fruit, no

that catarrh is a constitutional disease.
It is related to scrofula and consump-

Hoods Sarsaparilla has shown that
what is capable of eradicating serofula
