among the negroes as remarkable
Christian names as those bestowed
upon their offspring by the Puritan

of a negro living near Richmond who
for wears had been familiarly known
to him as Tim It became necessary
at one time in a lawsuit to know the
full name Of the darkey. The not un-

Timothy met with a flat denial.

Rev. Irl Hicks For February.


Rev. IrI Hicks has made the fol-
lowing predictions for the month OF
February:
\ fractionarv storm period will be
in progress as February comes in. On
and touching the lSt and md the tenn
peraturr will react to warmer. the
barometer will fail and cIoudiness
with more or less rain or SHOW, will
pass over most sections. \ regular
storm period is central on the 9Th. cx-
tending from the 9TH to the 9th.
Within this period we have the Moon
at extreme north declination OH the
9th and fnll on the 9th. By the 9TH
the barometer will begin falling in
western sections. winds changing to
southerlv and easterly.
AS these conditions begin to move
eastward about the 9th, rain will set
in to the east and south and snow
will follow along northern and west
ern sections. Hence rain succeeded
by colder and changing to snow, will
pass eastwardlv across the country
from 9th to 10Th. The crisis Of this
period will be on and touching the
; 9th. High barometer, with very cold
winds. amounting almost to blizzards,
will follow these storms.
A reactionary storm period is cen
trail on the 18th and 18th. At this
time look for great change to warmer.
High tidal waves will also be natural
and probable. n sudden cold wave
will follow about the 18th to 10Th.
From about this period February,
to its close, promises to be not only
disagreeable, but very severe. if not
violent in it's storms and weather
phenomena.
The regular storm period extending
from the 10Th to the Goth, having its
center on the 18th. This period will
; be characterized by very low barome-
ter. During it's first stages rains,
with thunder and lightning, viii visit
! southern sections, with sleet and snow
in northern sections. with severe
coIt wave about the 18th, 18th and
18th. A reactionary storm period falls
on the 22nd to the 25th. This will be
probably the most severe Of the
month. About the 21st look for a
change to warmer in most western
sections. By the 23rd high tempera-
ture for the season will spread east
ward and about Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, 23rd to the 25th, violent and
general storms Of rain, wind and
thunder will visit many sections, fol-
lowed by rising barometer, with
sweeping billiards Of snow and sleet.
At this season Of the year blizzards
may succeed thunder storms and tor
nadoes within few hours Of time.
AS the moon does not cross the Ce-
lestial Equator, working northward
from south until the 25th. the cold
following the storms of the 22nd to
25th, may be restrained and modified.
A regular storm period having its
center on the first day Of March, will
cause rise in the temperature IN
western extremes on the 9th and
2Sth.

American farmer has accumulated
larger sums OF money than ever be-
fore. In many sections his deposits
have been so generous that the rate Of
interest was forced down. Alert to
these conditions. the e@farmer has now
larger sums in permanent investment
than ever before. He has shown his
capacity as financicr: he Is found
ing SO many rural banks, movement
of 10 unstable character.
For the first time in the banking
history Of the south there are deposits
in excess of $1,000,000.000. The man
with one hand on the plow keeps the
other on the combination OF the vault
containing his cash OF securities.
What the future has in store for the
American farmer no man can tell,
but one thing is surc-he never turns
back. He goes straight ahead. and
nothing can change his belief that his
is not the best and safest Of all vo-
cations. He is no longer a tiller. but
supreme master Of the soil.
"Farmhouses are connected with
telephones as never before. 1sola
ton is thing Of the past. Modern
equipment and furnishings make his
home the best in the world. His chill
dren are offered improved opportuni-
ties for education: the rural delivery
brings to his door daily literature Of
the highest class; he is ravenous
reader. AS his power to purchase in
creases his approaches the most COM
Portable and happy ideal American
home.
"In the production Of these i'm
mense crops the farmer faced peculiar
conditions. His fields were not al
ways covered with sunshine and his
pathway was not strewn with roses.
The early part Of the season was beset
with many adverse circumstances that
tried the iron heart Of the sturdy
plowman. However, this extraordl-
nary harvest was not so much due to
meteorological conditions as to the
skill, energy and scientific methods
pursued by the farmers themselves.
There is no place in the world where
agricultural practices have reached
so high scale Of development as in
the United States.
1.-THE American farmer has not
been handicapped by the traditions of
centuries as have the farmers Of the
old world. He has been steadily hoe
ing his own row. With the help Of
the government and state experts at
the agricultural colleges and expert
ment stations and the dissemination
Of scientific knowledge ana the ex-
change Of practical experiences
through the agricultural press the far
mers have advanced more rapidly in
technical, specific and practical knowl-
edge than any other class. A genera
ton ago a season no more favorable
than that experienced in 1905, from a
meteorological standpoint, would have
resulted in only moderate crop yield,
far short Of the present magnificent
showing.
Although nature was by NO means
in a generous mood the past season,
our farmers have wrested from her
results that would have been impos-
sible, even under the most favored
conditions, in the days Of their sires
or grandsires. .

ODESSA, Sept 2S.-It now transpires that
the Black Hundred, acting in colluslon with

averted by the extraordinary alertness and
energy shown by the authorities. General
Gregorieff. prefect of Odessa, in the alb
sence of Governor General Kaulbars, has
telegraphed information concerning the plot
to Premier Stolypin. Although the danger
Is believed to be past the preventive meas

of the anti-Jewish demonstrations have
opened the columns OF their newspapers to
another campaign. They have revived the
old story OF ritual assassinations, accusing
the director OF a private infrmary of the
murder of a Christian child by the trans
fusion OF it's blood into the veins of sick
Jewess An official Investigation of this
charge disclosed the fact that the child.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.--The Chicago
representatives of the Illinois states az
torneys once, Charles l.. Binns and Joseph
l.. Kinder with two New York and two
Hoboken detective sergeants, kept vigil
ali night at the barge once at the battery
ready to board a fast tug. the moment
the steamship Prinz Adalbart with Banker
Stensland on board was sighted. Thco-
dore Stensland. son of the fugitive, dis
sipated the fears OF the Chicago officials
during the night when Mr.. Kinder called
on him. The son said he would make no
fight on extradition. He added that hts
only wish in the matter was to avoid
all the publicity possible and agreed that
the best plan was to get his father aboard
a train, and on the way TO Chicago.
This declaration followed a letter re-
ceived from Paul o., stensland. mailed
September :. The father wrote that his
wish was to get back to Chicago with
all speed. He advised his son not to do
anything to delay the return and asked
only that his son and daughter meet and
greet him in New York. The daughter
did not come to New York. as 1t was be-
lieved inadvisable for the sake or her
health As the young man put it, he came
here to give his father courage.
The officers said no interviewers would
be allowed TO see the elder Stensland on
the Chicago journey. Young Stensland
wished every accommodation and comfort
provided for his father on the journey
west
The Chicago oficlals said today that
they had been advised by cable that there
was no truth in the story that Stensland
had attempted suicide He had ample
opportunity IL he had considered such a
thing. but made no move in this direction,
the officers declared.
Paul o. Stensiand. the fugitive Chicago
banker. who Is returning from Tangier in

THREE BILLIONS OF TRADE
Record for Past Year n New Mark In
History of the United

WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.-The foreign
commerce of the United States has crossed
the 5000, 10000 line. In the twelve months
ending with August the imports were
81, 254, ,3s9.I35 and the exports N.75e. .n7.s9S,

These figures are supplied by the Bureau

says in part;
The August figures of both imports and
exports exceeded those of any preceding
August in the history OF our commerce.
August imports for the first time GROSS

show imports Of sl05.5sS,6ol. against $4,000.
The export figures for August are also
larger than those for any preceding Au-
gust amounting to Sl2s, ,454.l6O against Sl1s,-
1901.
The growth of commerce is distributed
through a large class of articles. Meat
and dairy products exported amounted to
