Rev. fnR. hicks 1908 Almanac

TO say that this splendid work of
science and art is finer and better
than ever, is stating it mildly. The
demand for it is far beyond all pre-
vious years. 70 say that such results,
reaching through THIRTY YEARS, are
not based upon sound sense and
usefulness, is an insult to the intelli-
gence Of the millions. Prof. Hicks,
through this great Almanac, and his
famous family and scientific journal,
Word AND Works, is doing q work
for the whole people not approached
by any other man or publications A
fairtest will prove this to any resscn-
able 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
illustrated with nearly two hundred
engravings. The price Of a single
Almanac, including postage and
mailing, is fAIRTY CENTS. Word
AND WORKS with the Almanac is 81
a year. Write to WORD AND Works
FURNISHING CO., 2201 Locust Street,
St Louis, No. and prove to yourself
their great value. j

College Of St Louis in 1897 and

studies than Jacob Lutes,
Mr.. I,utes was ar honest, upright
manandseefhed to take the "Golden
Rule" as the motto Of his life. To

safe to say he had not an enemy in

imitation by any young man.
He leaves an aged father, in his
18th year, three brothers, tSo sisters
and a host Of relatives, friends and
schoolmates TO mourn their loss.
"Thou art gone 10 the grave we no longer be-

Nor tread ia the rough paths Of lae world by

Whose God was Thy ransom. thy guardian

He gave the, He took thee and he win restore

And death has no stag, for The Savior has

And left bis companions behird.
