p Our Pr 1dictiOn.

While we are not prophet or a son
of a prophet but it is becoming a popu-
lar fad to give weather forecasts, so
here is our prediction for this month
During the first half there will be some
brisk winds from the north, but every
day the sun will rise, and often there'l
be gloomy skies; some Gays, however,
may be fair, with southern winds and
mellow air. Those things will happen
so we know, because they always hap
pen so. This good months moon will
full, and Office seekers work their
pull" Some lucky ones will land the
prize, while other men esteemed as
wise will fail in all they undertake and
find they've made a sad mistake, for
Charlatans to future ride while modest
worth is thrust aside. These things Will
happen we know, because they've al
ways happened so. In this good month
Of 1906, the boys and girls will have
their fun. They'll go to parties, dance
and spark they kiss each other in the
dark; they'll marry and begin their
life, happy, hopeful man and wife,
and sometime they will own kid, just
like their dads and mammies did.
These things will happen; sure. we
know, because they've always HAPPIER
ed so.

Many ministers and Sunday schools had

4undereds of widows, some of them
the wealthiest in Philadelphia, used
The bank, and many of them have lost
he greater part of their fortunes. A
thorough investigation of the banks
