.The Rev. Irl R. Hicks 1912 Almanac.
Before the great Drouth of
1001, the 1 licks Almanac gave
timely warning. For over two
years prior to 1911, the Hicks
Almanac again sounded a warn
ing of drouth danger. And so
for forty years this same friend
of all the people has steadfastly
refused the offers of speculators
and continued to warn the public
of the coming dangers of storm
and weather. As they should
have done, the people have nobly
stood by Professor Hicks, their
faithful public servant, who has
grown old in their service. Send

Western Hotel Which Leads Others
In Novel Advertising.
"On my last trip West," said the
comniorclul traveler, "I put up utone
liotel that tins New York hotels beat
en to a finish on advertising. About
1 o'clock In the morning I wua awak
ened by a sound as of cautious scuf
fling in the hall. 1 Kot up and looked
out Two men were moving beds and
mattresses.
" 'House Is so full,' one of them
whispered, 'that we've had to take
beds out of two double rooms and
put them up In the parlors.'
"The next morning the first page
of the local paper chronicled the late
arrival of guests at my hotol and the
subsequent shifting of beds to ac
commodate them. I pointed out tho
headlines to the first customer r
called on. He laughed.
"'Did they repeat thut perform
ance last night,' suld he. 'That Is
their topllne stunt They give It on
an average of twice a week. They
move beds around Just for the fun
of the thing. It Is the best kind of
advertisement Travelers all over
the country toll one another that the
hotel Is so popular that folks have to
sleep In the parlor, then everybody
stops there. I'll bet you never heard
of anything like that, not even in
New York.'

Foote. the humorist, was once but
tonholed by a country gentleman
who complained bitterly of the heavy
cost of burying a relative who was
an attorney. "Why, do you bury at
torneys here?" asked Foote, gravely.
'Yes. to be sure. How else? On,
we never do that in London.' "No?"
exclaimed the amazed "mulre. "How
do you manage, then?" "Why, when
an attorney happens to dlo, we lay
him out In a room by himself, throw
open the windows, lock tho door,
and in tho morning he Is entirely
off." "Indeed! anS what becomes of
him?" "Why, that we can not exact
ly tell, not being acquainted with
supernatural causes. All that we
know of the matter Is that there la
a strong smell of brimstone in the
room the next morning."

KEELEY CURE
They Remembered
"Tin vnn remember." he
with a little choko of sadness In his
voice, "the last time we walked to
gether at home? Wasn't It something
fine? Do you know, I can smell the
hay lying In the fields, and cun hour
the brook where It bubbled over tho
shallows at the bridge."
"That's an awfully unsafe bridge,"
she answered, the same touch of
reminiscent sadness in her voice. "I
wondor if they have repaired It yet."
"No. Mrs. Hlnkel's cow broko
through the side rail and broke Its
leg. Hut do you romember how we
leaned over the rail and listened to
tho brook? I don't think we spoke
twenty words."
"Weron't the mosquitoes awful?'
she said. "I remember how mnd I
was when you slapped at one on the
bark of my nock."
"Yes, they were terrible. I don't
believe, though, we shall ever see the
moon again as It was that night. You
remember how silvery It made the
tops of the orchard trees look, and
how dark It was under the trees? Look
out! Here comes an auto! I hate
the toot of an auto horn, don't you?"
"Yes, but I like it better than the
patticachunklng of frogs. It Is over
sooner. Don't you romember how
the frogs down In the swamp, that
night, kept croaking? There was the
blf bass frog that always seemed to
lead off the chorus like a singing mas
ter. You named him the singing
teacher and I laughed so my hut foil
into the brook."
"I cot a fearful cold wading In
after that hat I guess It was because
the mists began to rise and I got a
chill that struck In through my wet
clothes. But I can never forget how
still and beautiful everything was,
except for the frogs and the mos
qultoes, and that whip-poor-will thnt
kept up Its whistling till I thought
he'd burst."
"And do you remember, wtien we
did talk, you were planning to buy the
Hadlcy farm, because your moiner
was a Hadley and was born there?
And then you said you guessed you
wouldn't because It was rather low
ground and you thought your mother
caught her malaria from It?"
"But it Is a beautiful old farm, Just
the same, even If nobody ever e..'!d
make a living from it Probably
that comes because the land is worn
out. But I always did like the old
bouse, it is so big and comfortable
Do you know, the kitchen alone is as
big as a New York flat?"
"Blceer. I think," she said. "But
you said to keep it warm you'd have
to cut ana spilt twenty cords or wnoa,
and that you'd rathor go and enlist
In 'he navy. Then I cried, and you
said you'd come to the city and muko
your fortune. After that I came hero
to study shorthand. My, during those
first few . weeks how I wished I was
back In the country. I used to sit
and cry all the evening because I was
bo lonely."
He laughed Joyously.
"Then the first friend you mot was
me," he said. "How glad you were
when I told you I'd come to the city
and was getting eighteen a week."
"Yes," she suld. Then she lowered
her voice and asked anxiously.
"Honey, don't you think Central Turk
Is nicer than the country?"
"Don't I?" he Bald enthuslastlcrlly,
"well, I guess I do. Let us go In and
get an ice cream soda,"
"And won't the folks be surprised
when they hear we're married?"
He fairly shook with mlrtn.
"And won't they be surprised to
hear our wedding Journey was a walk
around Central Park?"
His laugh became louder.
"And ain't you," she cried raptur
ously, "glad we came to New York?"
"Ain't I Just?" he said with such
decision there was no doubt of It For,
being an American, he knew the most
emphatic way of assenting to a ques
tion was by asking another one.
So they entered the booth and
lingered long and lovingly over their
Ice cream soda, and talked some more
of how beautiful the country was on
that last night they spent together
In It Then, for It was getting mte,
almost 9 o'clock, they rose and walk
ed toward their comfortablo little
three-room flat on one of the streets
leading to East River Park.
"And I've got a Becret for you." he
said, "another wedding present They
gave me a two-dollar raise. Tin get
ting twenty now."
She hugged his arm closer, and
that told him what Increased pleas
ure the news brought hor. "I would
not," she said decidedly as they noar
ed their little home In the big, bar
racky building, "give up being a Now
Yorker for anything."
"Neither would I," he answered.
"Whore'd I got twenty dollars a week
In the country, or ten, or live?" New

Fifty Men and One Elephant.
Interesting tests were recently
made to dotermlne the respective pull
ing power of horses, men and ele
phants. Two horses, weighing 1,000
pounds each, together pulled 3,700
pounds, or D30 pounds more than their
comb'ined weight. One elephant,
weighing 12,000 pounds, pulled 8.750
pounds, or 3,250 pounds less than its
weight Fifty men, aggregating 7,500
pounds in weight pulled 8,750 pounds,
or Jui.it as much as the single ele
phant; but, like the horses, they
pulled more than their own weight.
One hundred men pulled 12,000
pounds. London Globe.

FABLE OF THE PROUD YOUTH.
He Found the World a Shockingly
Tough Oyster When Kicked.
Once upon a time there was a
Proud Youth who had attained that
memorable time of llfo when ho
nourished a Lovely Mustache that
nromlscd to be even more Lovoly
after a few discouraging years bad
passed, and this Proud Youth knew
so much thnt he realized that it
would be impossible for him, or any
body, ever to know more.
"The time has now como," said
the Proud Youth, as he looked about
him, "when I am schedulod to Do
Things. I have a Very Superior Edu
cation and a Perfectly IrroslBtlble
Diploma, I feel tho Flood of Genius
throbbing In my veins, and It Is evi
dent that the world l mine oyster.
Mothinks I will Btep out and pick it
up."
tit mlcht bo mentioned right here
that the neighbors had not noticed
the Flood of Genius; but neighbors
are so blind!)
So the Proud Youth stepped out to
pick up the oyster, but unfortnnnte
lv It would not nick: it acted almost
as If It objected to being unhitched
from its moorings by any one man.
Then was the Proud Youth sorely
disgusted, and he said, "You won't,
won't you!" and he wrenched at the
oyster eagerly; and he wrenched
nenln nnd yet nKuln: and ho pulled
and yanked and hauled until his
bands were sorely cut and bleeding;
yet did the oyster not pick.
"Dern such nn oyster!" the Proud
Youth muttered, "It Is not what It
has been alleged to be. Kvidontly I
must kick it loose."
So the Proud Youth drew back his
foot and kicked with might and
might and main and ne still Is
nursing his too and wondering when
it will get well; but the oyster still
Is unpicked, and whethor the Proud
Youth (not quite bo proud now) ever
will pick It remains to be seen; but
I am among those who sit In the
seats of the scornful and offer to hot
that he will not It Is sad about the
Proud Youth. Is It not. my llttlo
ones. Still, we should heed the dis
agreeable
Moral: Tho world is a shocking
ly tough oyster! San Francisco

Col. W. P. llrownlow, secretary of
the National Soldiers' Home, said
at a dinner In Brownsville, Teun.;
"Thoy are great wags, the old sol
diers in our Johnson City home. I
heard one of them describe the other
day a very fierce and famous action.
Two hundred men had been pitted
against 300, and after the fighting
only sixty brave fellows thirty on
each side remained nllve. The old
soldier paused solemnly. 'Of that
sixty, boys,' he said, 'there only sur
vive to-day' Overcome, he blew his
nose violently. 'There only survive
to-day, by actual statistics, 417.'"

"Yes," replied tho wltnoss.
"What did he say?"

Attorney General Wlekersham, at
a dinner In Washington, suld of a
wrong-headed financier:
"His methods are so deplorable
that when ho tries to defend them he
goes to pieces.
"In fact, he rominds me of an old
man who was brought up before a
country Judge.
"'Jethro,' said the Judge, 'you are
accused of stealing Geueral John
son's chickens. Have you any wit
