Notwithstanding a widely cur-1 rent rumor that Kev. Irl 11. Hicks I was dead, he uever was in better I health, aud uever did a harder and more successful year's work than that just closing. Ho had just completed his large aud splendid -almanac for 1!'02 and, with his staff of able helpers, has brought his journal, Word and Works, justly forward into inter national reputation. For a quar ter of a century Mr. Hicks has grown in reputation as the peo ple's astronomer, and forcaster of storms and the character of coming seasons. Never were his weather forecast so sought after as now, his timely warning of a serious drouth this year having saved the people from loss and sn tiering. Millions of bushels of wheat were harvested through his advice to plant crops that ma-1 ture early. The American peo ple will certainly stand by Prof. Hicks when it costs them so little and the beuelits are so great. Ilis line almanac of "00 pages is only 25 cents, and his splendid family journal is only one dollar a year including the almanac. Send to Word aud Works Pub. Co., i'L'ui Locust street, St. Louis, Mo. A Physician Testifies. "I have taken Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and have never used any thing in my life that did me the good that did," says County Phy sician Geo. W. Scroggs of Hall County, Ga. "Being a physician I have prescribed it aud found it to give the best results." If the food you eat remains undigested in your stomach it decays there aud poisous the system. You can prevent this, by dieting but that means starvation. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat. You need suffer from neith er dyspepsia nor starvation. The worst cases quickly cured. Never fails. Be Careful. At this season when there are so many men and boys using fire arms, too much caution cannot be exercised; while accidents are of an almost, daily occurrence, one peculiarly distressing occurred near Cassville, a few days ago. Sarah Blanche, the twenty months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. .1. W. Chilcoat, was playing in the yard near the house when suddenly it screamed and fell to the ground. Tho mother rushed out of the house aud upon picking up her child found blood oozing out of a hole in its head. It is supjMjsed that the child was hit by a spout bullet, as several shots wore heard in that vicinity about tho. time tho accident happened. - The little girl never gained con sciousness, lingering in terrible agony for twenty-four hours. Dr. C. A. R. McClain, of Cassville probed for the bullet, but failed to tind it. Spreads Like Wildflre. When '.hlugs are "the best" they become "the best selling." Abraham Hare, a leading drug gist, of Belleville, O., writes: "Electric Hitters are the best selling bitters I have handled in L'o years." You kuow why?

The Perils of Night on an Ocean Liner. j How many of the thousands of I jienplo who travel across oceans 1 ou huge liners know how these great ships are safeguarded at night against dangers which may ' at any moment spring from the utter darkness ahead? Certainly very few, says the Loudon Express, and millions of those who have not traveled on j such vessels know nothiug what- ever about the manner in which passengers are protected from peril. Chief Officer Armstrong.of the Celtic, which is the largest ship afloat, gives an interesting ac count of how the work of watch ing is carried on. Each of the 313 men who com- pose the crew has his special duty to perform. The burden of responsibility is felt keenly by the men on the stem head, or foremost point in the bow of the ship; in tho "crow's nest," on the bridge aud in tho engine room. On tho stem head, in ordinary weather, there are usually two men. When it is heavy weather, misty or hazy, three men are there. In the "crow's nest" there are also two men. These men are practically the eyes of the ship. They are selected with especial care and receive more pay than ordinary seamen. Before a man can become a look-out his eyesight is rigorous ly tested both as to distance and color. No one may act as look out on a shiu like the Celtic with out first obtaining a certificate' as to physical fitness from theBoard of Trade. Of course, the main point for sighting objects when out at sea is in the "crow's nest," ou the masthead. The "crow's nest" men must see j things before the officer on the bridge sights them. If an officer ou deck makes out an object be fore the "crow's nest" man de tects it, the latter gets a repri mand. At night look-out men have to be very much on the alert for sounds. Both the hearing and seeing of these men are tested, and their eyes and ears must be well nigh perfect. In a fog the safety of the ship depends as much upon the hearing qualities of the look-out as upon anything else. Look-out men on the stem head have a telephone close at hand, by means of which they may com m unicate with the officers on the bridge. Look-outs have two hours on duty and four off. They earn about i'4 per month. The next place forward where look-out work is combined with other duties is the bridge. In fair weateer two officers are al ways on duty on the bridge; in foul weather, three. The captain often stays on the bridge for hours when there is any danger, One of the most important places on shipboard is at the wheel. In ordinary weather but one man is actually at the wheel steering. Though one man is at the wheel, there are always two on hand. These men are known as quartermasters. One stands at tho wheel while the other is at call ou a moment's notice. Usually the quartermaster not steering is outside the pilothouse within sound of the wheelman's voice. Quartermasters have four, hours on duty and four hours off when the shipjs at sea. Iu misty weather a special man is detailed to blow the boat's whistle at given iutervals. The crews assigned to each li fe-boat dn board examine their boats each night and report that they are in good condition. Astounding Discovery. From Cooper s ville, Mich., comes word of a wonderful discovery of a pleasant tasting liquid that when used before retiring by any one troubled with a bad cough al ways ensures a good night's rest. "It will soon cure the cough too," writes Mrs. B. IJimelburger, "for three generations of our family have used Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption and never found its equal for Coughs and Colds." It's an unrivaled life-saver when used for desper ate lung diseases. Guaranteed bottles 50c and 1.00 at W. K. Dickson's. Trial bottles free. FEW NEW MEMBERS IN THE COMING CONGRESS. Body Will Have Membership of 357 and Five 'Delegates. In the Fifty-seventh Cougress, which will assemble at Washing ton, Dec. 2, less than the usual number of new members will bo found in the House of Represen tatives. This body is composed of 3o" members and five Dele gates, the latter representing the Territories. Porto Rico remains outside with a Commissioner. This Commissioner has no voice in the House, but is graciously given the privilege of the floor. In dealing with the member ship of the House the Delegates are not taken iuto account. The 3j" Representatives are divided poetically into three classes, the Republicans having 197, the Dem ocrats 125 and tho Populists aud Silverites 8. A quorum is com posed of a majority of the entire membership. The republicans' strength exceeds the combined opposition by 37, and, with 18 in excess of a quorum, they should have little troublo in having pre sent at all times a sufficient num ber of their members to control the House. Of the 357 members, 91 only were not in the last Congress, and of theso five have had pre vious service in the House. It may, therefore, be said that only 86 new members will appear be fore the bar to answer to the ini tial roll call. The fact that there will be so few new members in the House is regarded by some observers of affairs as giving assurance that the speaker will be able to an nounce the standing committees at a much earlier period than usual, aud that the House is like ly to be fully prepared to enter actively upon business w'ithin a week or 10 days after organiza tion. Opinions expressed by Sena tors and Representatives who have been in Washington within the past few weeks, and those who are now there for tho ses sion, leave no doubt as to the principal matters that will come before Congress at an early day. These are reciprocity, the Nicar agua canal and the ship subsidy. With regard to the former two the indications favor their pass age. There will be some oppo sition to the subsidy. But the general belief is that a measure of some kind will be forced through before the close of the first session. The Children's Friend. You'll have a cold this winter. Maybe you have one now. Your children will suffer too. For coughs, croup, bronchitis, grip aud other winter complaints One Minute Cough Cure never fails. Acts promptly. It is very pleas aut to the taste and perfectly harmless. C. B. George, Win chester, Ky., writes: "Our little girl was attacked with croup late j one night and was so hoarse she j could hardly speak. We gave her a few doses of Oue Minute Cough ! Cure. It relieved her immediate- ly and she went to sleep. When she awoke next morning she h id no signs of hoarseness or croup." Ram's Horn Blasts. The new heart helps to put off the old man. Men easily choke off mere crumbs of comfort. Rooting out malice may bo re pressing murder. Self-denial is the spiual column of consistency. The apologist for good is ready to condone evil. Nothing is harder to forgive than forgetfulness. Self-conceit is the main spring of a wagging tougue. When the soul is on tire its dross will qinckly be consumed. He who does tho best ho knows always has a duty to remember. The cultivation of the heart spures the budgeting of the brains. Some men are never overtaken by temptation unless they go out to meet it He who forgets the ladder by which he ascends may yet need it for descent. You cannot always keep out the weed seeds but you don't need to watch them. The larger a mau is the greater the probability that ho will step on little men's toes. Pointed Paragraphs, i A wise man in business may bo a fool in love. Lots of verso writers actually imagine they wero born poets. Only a fool would trust a man who says the world owes him a living. Some men manage to keep from being imposed upon by being disagreeable. Distanco doesn't lend enchant ment to oues view of tho almigh ty dollar. Tho muu who waits for some thing to turn up is apt to discover that it is his toes. A run of had lnck may not re move tho mote, but it takes the beam out of a follow 's eye. When a man marries he thinks he is getting a mate, but often the supposed mate turns out to ba a captaiu. After her school days are over tho sweet girl graduate is apt to learn that beyond the altar lies the washtub. Before marriage a man thinks his best girl a little dear; after marriage' ho usually considers her a little extravagant. A lie is a haudlo that fits many tools. Pain is the shadow that follows pleasure. Heaven never helps meu who have that tired feeling. A wise man can answer a lot of questions that a fool wouldn't think of asking. The; e is always a chance for a man to go higher if he has the ability to climb. Occasionally a sensible Woman ; attracts attoutiou by making no ' effort to attract it. j Humor is said to be one of the ; elements of genius, but it is im- possible to make a pessimist be lieve it. The spinster carries a watch to euable her to husband her time, and the married woman for the purpose of timing her husband. Cleanings. The poetry of motion must be the kind that is sent tho rounds. Ireland claims the honor of the first electric railway in the United Kingdom. Even the greatest germ cranks do not hesitate to stack up against the microbes that infest a $20 bill A good appetite is whai every body is wishing for and yet wants to get rid of it as soon as obtained. There is a large sale of bad eggs for mauufacturiug purpose. Brown polish for boots is made from the yolk of bad eggs, aud the white of the eggs is used for albuminizing photographic paper. An electric buoy has been sta tioned at tho mouth of the Elbe. The light is intermittent showing every half miuute. The electric ity is produced by the action of the waves, tho apparatus being tho invoutiou, of a German engi neer. Oberummergau used to be de- seated by tourists except in the years of tho Passion performan cos. It is now becoming a regu lar summer resort about uOO per sons having speut the hot months there this year. Tho highest of all clouds are those delicate white, fibrous de tached masses of frozen vapor; al ways seem high against the blue sky. The topmost point of the highest of those may be 10 miles above tho earth. They are called ci rrhu s cloud s. Altogether there are 10 principal types of clouds. The lowest, known as the stratus, are really horizontal sheets of lifted fog seen on damp days or in very damp localities. Those clouds are only a few hundred feet above the earth. Doing His Best. In the early morning I went to the postoflico iu an Alabama town to inquire for mail, but found I was half an hour too early. I 'was walking away when the colored janitor who was sweeping out called to me and asked: "Wasyo'procrastinatin'arouud yero aftor yo'r rnaiJ, sab?:' Yes, but I see I'm too early." "Yes, sah, too airly. An' was yo' a stranger in dis town?" "Yes," "An' hain't yo' uo one to talk to?" "No." "Den, sah, if yo' dou't keer tJ eliminate about de street fur half an hour yo' can stop right yere, an, I'll do my best to considerate do reciprocity of de situasliun an make yo feel to home!"
