rev. Irl H. HICKS SOS Almanac.
To say that this splendid work of
science and art is finer and better than
ever, is stating it mildly. The de-
mand for it is far beyond all previous
years. To say that such results,
reaching through thirty years, are not
based upon sound sense and useful
ness, is an insult to the intelligence of
the millions. Prof. Hicks, through this
great Almanac, and his famous family
and scientific journal, Word and
Works. is doing work for the whole
people not approached by any other
man or publication. A fair test will
prove this to any reasonable person.
Added to the most luminous course in
astronomy - 1903, forecasts of storms
ana weather are given, as never be-
fore, for every day in the year, all
charmingIy illustrated with nearly two
hundred engravings. The price of
single Almanac, including postage

SAD ACCIDENT.
Two Children Drowned
at Grey Eagle.

Thanksgiving day viii long be re-
membered in Grey Eagle, and especi-
ally by the family of Joseph McClin-
tick, on account of the melancholy
event::which cost two McClintick chill
dren their lives. Trace lake is just
outside the village of Grey Eagle, and
covers nearly thirty acres. 1t is a
comparatively shallow sheet of water
and froze early, but not uniformly,
a large air hole remaining open. On
Thanksgiving day a large number OF
young people were skating, and dur
ing the afternoon Mrs. Joseph McClin-
tick went to the lake tolook for her two
sons, aged IL and ID years respectively.
There fellow skaters had not seen them
for some time, but their caps were seen
floating in the open water in an air
hole, and the worst was feared. The
alarm was given in the village, and a
number of people hurried to the lake
to investigate, among them Andrew
Scott. the liveryman, and John Dobbs
of this city who is located there at
present. BY means of plank, and
with a rope tied to his body, Mr.. Scott
worked his way as near as possible to
the air hole and throwing himself up
on the thin ice broke his way to the
air hole, where he found both boys in
about five feet of water. He secured
one body after another and was drawn
to shore by means of the rope 1t is
not known just how long they had
been in the water, but all effort to re-
store them was unavailing. 1t is a
terrible blow to the parents, and also
their grand parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel McClintick. The event cast a
gloom over the entire community.
