Hicks for March.

A Vulcan storm period is central on the
first day of March, lasting up to about the
the 4th From Saturday the 1st to about
Tuesday the 4th, general and heavy
storms Of rain, sleet, snow and wind will
be most natural. In southern and CEN
trail parts of the continent, very low
barometric conditions at this time, with
change to very warm, southerly winds,
will indicate dangerous and even lorna
die storms.
All general storms at this time, and
throughout the month, will be eqninoctial
in chara cter; the first stages will be warm,
with rain, lightning and thunder especial
ly along the south and east sides of
storm areas. To the west and northwest
the rain will rapidly turn to sleet and
snow, followed by high barometer
which will force cold waves and extreme
wintery conditions for the season east
ward and southwark over almost the
entire country.
All through the Mercury period, which
ends about the 10th, cloudy, threatening
weather will prevail, but renewed storm
conditions will be marked from about the
Sth to the 10th inclusive. AS we approach
new moon on the 9th it will grow much
warmer, falling barometer will appear
in western parts, and very decided sto rms
will quickly follow, travelling eastward
and touching most sections of the country
from about the Sth to the 10th.
An energetic, shortlived high barome-
ter may possibly rush in before the on
trail on the 13th but the chances are good
for continued and general storms over
the 10th and into the storm period extend
ing from the 18th to the 18th
A reactionary storm period will center
on and about the 10Th and Goth, at which
time change to warmer, falling balmoe-
ter and wide areas of more rain and snow
will pass eastward across the country.
after the full moon III March will wind
up with decided changes to colder, and
blizzardous squalls of sleet and snow in
all the northward part of the country.
Do not lose sight of this prediction, and
do not neglect to make all possible pro-
visions for the feeding and protection of
your live stock.
The storm period in which Boreas and
the equinoctial powers will make one OF
their final and worst clashes is central
on the Gath, covering the 21st to Goth
Within this period we find Earth at its
equinoctial center on the 22nd, Moon in
perigee on the 2lst and full Moon on the
celestial equator on the 23rd. Thes {
facts warrant us in saying that danger
ousy high tides, attended with violent
equinoctia gales and storms, need not
surprise any one on and along the gulf anC
Atlantic ocean, from the 2lst to 2Gtl
inclusive. The days of greatest probable
violence in this period will be Sunday the
23rd to Wednesday the Goth. Very de
cided northwesterly storms will rusI
southwark and eastward at this time as {
counterpart to the equatorial storms
causing probable tornadoes in localitie:
where the opposing influences meet, ant
bringing snow and billiards. to many
parts of the country, even in the centra
states.

Thirty Miles of Trunks.

Topham has been doing a large
business many years. In three years
he will round out half century as
a leading Washington merchant.
| figure that during that time he
has sold nearly fifty thousand trunks.
End to end they would reach to Bal
timore. While the suit cases, valises.
bags and telescopes he has sold
would extend the line beyond Phila-
delphia, probably clear through to
New York.
OF one item alone. that patent fold
ing coin purse, he has sold over three
hundred thousand, and they are used
all over America.

A Striking Illustration.

The stock he carries numbers
nearly thousand different valises,
suit cases, trunks, etc.
He has trunks enough in his place
to form a line down F street from
the treasury to the patent office.
These trunks added to those he sold
in the years gone by would make a
wall around Washington high as a
mans head.
These are some of the things
learned when l went in to interview
the Tophams on the trunk question.
You see, it is fascinating store,
where the Presidents, cabinet officers
and ambassadors since the time of
Lincoln have been buying their tray
cling outfits.

Putting in the Quality.

1--WE put the quality into every ar
ticle we manufacture. No one going
into hotel with one of our bags or
trunks feels cheap, for no matter
what price they pay us we give them
an article that has quality and value
indelibly stamped upon it."
| thought of the philosophy of
trunks and bags. thought of the
ten years have been travelling
around this country and the many
times I have noticed the way the bell
boys and the clerks and the porters
treat the man who comes in with
a sole leather suit case and good
trunk, as compared with the way
they treat the man who comes in
with a cheap outfit. They put down
the man with cheap outfit as being
cheap himself, and it is not the new
ness of the thing that counts, for a
good trunk is still good when it is
old, but cheap trunk is never good.

That Basket Trunk From
London.

In the trunk-making department
it takes five men even in the dull
season to keep up with the repair
work sent in to Topham.
The kind that comes in often is
the London basket trunk.
I'm London they make this basket
trunk with painted burlap, line it
with flinsy stuff, put in no backing,
and short career on steamers and
railroads brings it to us for repairs, %
said Mr.. Topham.
He tore piece of the crash on one
of the London trunks to show me
how frail it is. There were several
of them standing around, burst out
at the edges.
Then he showed me the sprucy

business with his father for a quarter
OF a century Just glance at the

scopes, and you will see that we

Some day I am going to own the

Topham's. You can get them for
twenty dollars, with cut glass and
silver toilet, articles, but the sixty

pose there are good many men in
Washington who would go in and
buy their wives one of those fitted

risks its whole success upon being

Il am a believer in advertising.
We began advertising in The Star
nearly fifty years ago, and we have
never been out of the paper since,

On par with my advertising, and if
this store has grown from a little
place | had in the fifties to the posi-
ton it holds today, that is, posi-
ton where no store in any city can
compete with it in either goods or
prices, it is because we have bent
every energy to developing this one
line the very best we know how. We
never feel satisfied with our own
work. 1t is our rule to better it
every season. We do not wait for
styles to be created and then irnitate
