Legislature Will Select State
Flower.


Flower.
Returns from the election held
in the schools of the state last week
for the purpose of voting on state
flower which were received at the
office of State Superintendent of
schools Mr.. Miller, shows that the
laurel has been chosen beyond a
doubt.
The election which was held in
schools last week was not for the
selection of state flower, as many
have been led to believe. The con-
test was for the purpose of deter.
mining the most popular flower.
1t remains for the next legislature
to adopt state flower. That the
flower which received the most
votes at the recent election will be
adopted, goes without saying.
There are several species of the
laurel, of which rhododendron is
considered by far the most beauti-
full. The rhododendron is known
as the big mountain laurel, while a
number of other species have been
called bushes. 1t is to be hoped
that the rhododendron will be
adopted, and that the specification
will be made.

Prot. Hicks Forecast For This
Month-Plenty OF Snow

Ut OnElSlAnaSs
According to Professor Hicks
December opens with regular
storm period we'll developed, with
cloudiness. higher temperatures
and rain and snow advancing from
western parts of this country.
About the 2nd. 3rd and 4th, these
areas of storm and precipitation
will be at their fullest development
passing the central valley and
reaching into eastern and south
eastern states on and touching
those dates. The most inevitable
northwesterly winds and change to
much colder. constituting parts of
all general storms movements in
winter. will follow promptly behind
these first December storms. On
the 9TH and 9Th will hinge some
very active winter storms Dashes

tered the wiuter solistice disturb.
ance. bringing constant tendency
to rain, snow and winter squalls,
even outside of the regular storm
periods. but intensifyfng and ex-
tending the regulsr periods to a
marked degree. A dash of cold
wind and snow from the northwest
may be counted op two or three
days prior to the Vulcan storm
period central on or about the
l4th. Look for billiards. over
in the interior and a cold wave
reaching far northwest that will
succeed this storm period. ALI
through this central part of the
month Boreas will be rampant in

From the 18th to 22ud these soils.
tic squalls will rise to the dignity
Of general and severe, ,,,winter
storms. Vast amounts of rain and
snow-snow espeoially-will be de-
posted all around the northern
hemisphere about this time, and
genuine winter will fasten its grip
upon most regions north of the
equator. This. of course, does not
mean that the laws which modify
local conditions will be abrogated
or suspended. The last regular
ct 1rm period for the year promises
to be prolonged disturbance. A
mercury period central in January,
1903, extends into the last week in
December. From this and other
causes combining we predict that
tae last week in December will
bring decided storms of sleet and
snow, sending us into January,
1903. on toboggan of snow and
ice over most parts in northern lati.

CAPRICE and Luck,

In gambling one thing is certain, and
that is the very large percentage is in
favor Of the bank or the game. Caprice
is the only law of chance. And the re-
suits are as fanciful as they are unantici-
pated. One summer-the last of John
Morrissey's life-a party from Washing
ton were making merry in the wine room
of the club house in Saratoga. among
whom was a youthful attache of the
French embassy. Without remark, this
attache suddenly rose, entered the play
room and going to roulette table,
tossed hundred dollar bill on ten, black.
The dealer politely informed him that he
had exceeded the limit. The attache
was insistent. Morrissey, sauntering up,
nodded to the dealer to let it go. It won.
Refusing to accept chips, the attache
gathered in his winnings and rejoined
his friends. Half an hour later he did
the same thing, and was again success
full. At frequent intervals he repeated
his trips, invariably winning, never once
losing until he had won $4,000. when
his friends carried him off. AS he left,
Morrissey remarked to friend: Il
never take the limit off that the bank
doesn't lose. Nevertheless, there was a
profit on the nights play for the bank

What Might Have Reen.

Sonoma, Mich, July 21.-Mr. Delos
Hutchins Of this place says: IF could
have had Dodd's Kidney Pills Is years
ago l would not now be crippled as
l am"
Mr.. Hutchins spent from 1861 to
1864 in the swamps of Louisiana as 4
northern soldier and with the result
that he contracted rheumatism, which
gave him much pain till Mr.. Fred Par
ker, the local druggist, advised him to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. The first two
boxes did not seem to help him very
much, but Mr.. Parker, knowing that
Dodd's Kidney Pills would eventually
cure him, pressed Mr.. Hutchins to con-
tinue, and by the time four boxes were
used the short, sharp, shooting pains
which had tortured his back, hip and
legs were entirely gone. Mr. Hutchins
says: Il cannot tell you how much bet
ter l am feeling. If it were not for
the way my hands, feet and knees are
drawn out Of shape I would be about
as good as ever.
