T.e Rev Irl R Hicks Almanac.
There is no comparison between
toriner editions, and this splendid Almanac for 1900, now ready. Printed
iu beautiful colors, on much finer pappr,
its 19(1 pages arc packed with Invaluable information on storms, astronomy,
and mtteoroloyy: It is illustrated
with nearly 200 fiuest halftones and
other engraving-. Thi.* superb book
would sell anywhere for fifty cents, but
it costs only 25 cents a copy, and every
subscriber to Rev. Irl B. Hicks' now
famous paper, WORD AND WOKKS, at
51.00 a year, receives this elegant Almanac as a premium. WORD AND
Works is a recognized leader among
the best family and scientific' journals,
while nothing ol its kind can compare
with the Hicks Almanac. One dollar
a year is a nominal price for such unique
and useful - publications. Professor
Hicks has justly, and of necessity, withdrawn his storm and weather forecasts
from all free almanacs, having generously given his time and labor free for
fiearly twenty years. Word and

Protected Against Robbers,
We.Ith y Samuel De Vpe, who lives
jn Spotswood{ >f, J., has taken a new
method to guard against the loss of
his wealth. Alarmed by the recent
bank robberies at Perth Amboy, he has
taken all his cash from a local bank
and removed it to his home. Recently
he called at the bank and tore in half
all of his bonds. One-half Of each he
left in the bank and the other half he
took home. Thus, he says, he is "secured against loss of robbery.
SCHOOL NOTES
The definition for peninsula was
given to the General History class as
being a long neck stretched out to see
(sea)—-we are thankful for that.
The U. S. History class will give reports next week on Clay, Calhoun and
Jefferson—we are thankful for that.
The Juniors are planning for a social
December 29, watch for particulars
later—we are thankful for that.
There will be a foot-ball game at
Clark's field Thursday afternoon at 2
p. m.—we are thankful for that.
The pupils of the Second Grammar
are decorating their blackboards with
a turkey border for Thanksgiving—we
are thankful for that.
Tht Seniors don't seem to appreciate
the generosity of the Juniors—we are
not thankful for that.
Miss Gardner will spend Thanksgiving with the family of hei uncle in
Battle Creek.
Mrs.. Lawrencs was in Ann Arbor
Sunday and Monday owing to the death
of a near and very dear friend.
Hurrah for the High School Lecture

It is said that'earlv in the Congressional session a new Nicaragua canal
bill will.be introduced. Appearances
are indicating that this laudable project will soon become as gigantic a
white elephant as the State Capitol at
Albany.
Admiral Dewey said to a Washington reporter that if General Leonard
Wood had been ia command at Manila
there would have been no war. But
unfortunately General Wood was in
Cuba and General Otis in Manila.
Apparently General Wheeler considers Congress abetter arena for displaying his soldierly quality than the
Fhilipines, for he is coming home to
occupy his seat in the House of Representatives. Perhaps the Alabama senatorial contest'may have had something to do with his return.
Since Mr. Havemeyer declared that
the protective tariff is the '(mother of
trusts" ther* haa baen much speculation relative to the parental ancestor
of the '■■ootopus'", and it now appears
probable that the problem will remain
unsolved until next year whea imperialism will bo out Qf the way and Mr.
Bryjiu will he at liberty to give his undivided tut-iiUon to the question.
Re_ienx_er, you cannot credit to tomorrow's account to-fiay's joys. Tbe

ISirris Not Afraid of IVasps.
Mr. Murray, a Scottish naturalist, in
a paper on the habits of wasps, tells
how a blackbird will stand at the side
cf a hanging wasps' nest and deliberately tear it In pleees in order to get at
the larvae, apparently undisturbed by
the swarms of angry insects, whose
stings instantly put to flight the human
curiosity-seeker who ventures near to
watch the demolition.
A Different Matter.
Mae—"When are you to be married?" Ethel—"Married! Who said
I was to be married?" Mae—"Why,
everybody knows that you are engaged." Ethel—"What has that got to do
with it?"
Consumption and Cancer.

tives ana a Cure Guaranteed.
_ or several years the absolute cure
of consumption has been taking place
iu various localities throughout Europe
and America Tbere are several modes
Of Cure either one of which requires
time and exacting service from the attending physician.
Dr. Wilkinson, who has recently connected himself with the British Medical Institute, 303 Eist Main Street,
Jackson, Mich, has been successfully
treating Consumption for some lime
and he guarantees a cure in e7ery cose
where digestion is fairly good-
Under his method of treatment improvement is noticeable £_t once, hence
patients need not waste either tithe or
money in a trial.
All consumptive patients who call at

December first will be treated free,
[medicine excepted.]
Bronchitis and all kindred diseases
of lungs cured by same method. Dr.
Wilkinson has been removing cancers
by a new process for fifteen years and
he guarantees a cure in every case ho
undertakes.
Persons who cannot visit office
should write for home treatment for
consumption and all diseases of lungs
is practical in many cases.

Plenty of Time,
Years ago Joaquin Miller, journeying on foot, was overtaken by a countryman, "who took him on his "wagon
and gave him a long ride. Tired, at
length, of conversation, the poet took
a novel from his pocket and pored
over it long and silently. "What are
you reading " said the countryman.
"A novel of, Bret Harte's," said Mr.
Miller, "Well, now, I don't see how
an immortal being wants to be wasting his time with such stuff." "Are
you quite sure," said the poet, "that
I am an immortal being?' "Of course
you are." "If that he the case," re-
spoflded Miller, "I don't see why 1
should be so very economical of my
time."
The Same Thing.
Mrs. Binks (sick of it)—Really, John,
how can you bear to spend your time
whip—whip—whipping at the stream
all day long and never a single fish
taking the least notice of you? John
—Ah, hut think of the delight, Maria,
when you do get a Ssh! Lor' bless us,
iny dear, have you forgotten the day
when you hooked me?—Punch.
