Weather Prophet.
Circulal on Statement.

On September 18th the Pal
ladium had $3.50 subscribers
Four months later to the day,
the circulation was 4,033,
gain of 1908 subscr bers. This
gain shows that the ratio of 10
to l in circulation gain still
keeps up, as compared to the
only other Richmond newspaper
that publishes it's circulation
and that the Palladium, by tbs
same figures, is just ten times
as popular as its slower compet-
itor. The Palladium is the
best paper for the advertiser as
it is the most popular paper
with all classes. The Pal
ladium is the best paper for the
people, as it gives them the
most for their money. That
they appreciate this fact is
shown by constantly in
creasing circulation.

DAMPENS GROUND,
NOT ARD0R
Southwest Storm Fails to
Keep City Folk From En-
joying Merry Christmas
MILD STORM ABATING

Southwest winds and general
sprinkling of rain yesterday brought
forecasts of good things to come for
the farmers and more or less discom-
fort to the residents of the city. Fore
cast McAdie tried hard to have Old Sol
take a peep at US, just by way of a
Christmas greeting, but the weather
prophet could not entfce 30 much as a
ray from him. San Francisco refused
to stay indoors, Notwithstanding, and
shoppers who had not had opportunity
to purchase presents on Christmas eve
crowded those stores which had re-
mained open and as one shopkeeper
put 1t I'VE had one of the biggest
second day Christmas sales in the
memory of the firm"
The fnclemency Of the weather did
not interfere with the churchgoers.
Every house of worship in the city
was largely attended and the heavy
downpour Of the evening did not pre-
vent well-attended evening services.
Professor McAdie was laboring hard
Saturday to give the patient people Of
San Francisco a Christmas day that
would be In hearty accord with the
Spirit of the occasion. He brought to
bear all the skill which a number Of
years experience In his particular line
of business had brought him, and at
old Father Sol from his retreat behind
the cloud banks. This was at IL o'clock
Saturday, when the faint rays of the
sun presaged return of clear weather
But McAdie's talent was unequal to
the task, for he was handicapped by
an area of high pressure existing some
where near by. A moderate storm
everything the Oregon coast and the
northern portion of the California sea-
board was working It's insidious way
inland to set at naught the herculean
efforts McAdie was making for a clear
day. The storm came in from the sea
and caused rain to fall from San Luis
Obispo northward.
THE storm prevailing on the coast
has been moderate, the wind from the
southwest has been moderate, and the
resulting rains have been moderate"
said McAdie as he paused in the work
of attacking a succulent turkey which
was impartially dividing among his
family. There was only a half inch
of rain for the twenty-four hours end
ing today at noon. The wind is lessen
ing in intensity and we need have no
fear of recurrence of the heavy storm
of two weeks ago. The storm is mod
Grating gradually and will die out al
together, as the wind is veering around
to the westward. which will give us
fine weather for the new year. I hope
the good people of San Francisco will
forgive me for the bad weather which
am sure did not dampen the beauti-
full Christmas spirit which has at all
times characterized them. I can only
promise to do better by them next
Christmas"
