politics in country with only a

somewhat of an anomaly. Never

while politics is not the paramount
issue" in this territory, there are
political matters Of great import
auce to which the press should give
attention. We are on the thresh-
hold Of statehood and the skirmish
lines for the political battles soon to
be fought are being throws out by
both parties. The party which
isgs behind in perfectiug its organi-

fore the democratic party here now
is to organize and drill its forces
that it may be prepared when the
hour Of battle comes.

Be Friends With Your Bows,

How many fathers there are in this country
who never think of making companions of their
boys cannot be estimated, and yet the need is al
WAYS great. The father who invites the conf
dence of his boy, who makes a companion of him
and who makes him feel that he can always come
to him in evil report, as in good report, will rare
ly have any cause to complain of his son. The
great trouble is that men, as a rule, know too it,
tie of their boys; but this would not be the case
if they made companions of them as far as posi-
BILE.
Boys, as a rule, are afraid of their fathers. No
boy should be afraid of his father. There should
be respect and admiration for the father born of
love and duty, but it is an awful thing for him
to be in constant dread of the parent, and vet
this is the case with many of them. The man who
makes a companion of his boy, who partakes of
his youthful pleasures, who can always find time
to change views with him, has an opportunity
to correct his mistakes and give the. boy the ben
eft of his experience, but where there is no COM
partnership between them this cannot be done.
The father who never has time to sit down and
talk with his boy about their own affairs, however
simple may be the subject, makes a mistake which.
sooner or later, he will discover, and the discovery
is generally too late for correction. Men some
times miss their chance to shape and mold the
character of their boys simply because they have
neglected their cOmpanionship.-Greenville Her

HOW TO AVOID
Wise Rules Recalled ca the Approach of the Season
When the Disease 10 Prevalent.

A sudden and startling increase both in this city
and New York of deaths from pneumonia, and the
appropriation in the latter city of $4,000 for the
study of the disease, draws attention to the ap-
prevalent. For the week ending the 18th instant
the number of deaths in Chicago from "the new
captain of the men of death" was 800 per cent
greater than for the corresponding week a year
ago.
Pneumonia is the despair of the medical pro-
fession. While the death rate from many other
diseases has been reduced, that of pneumonia has
steadily increased. While in 1860 pneumonia
claimed four out of every 10000 Chicagoans and
consumption twenty-five in 1900 twenty lives were
lost to pneumonia for every fifteen to consump-
ton.
Not only Is there no specific for pneumonia,
but many people are to an extent in the incipient
stages of the disease without knowing it. This
is due to the fact that the bacterium of pneu-
monia exists so commonly in the saliva of many
healthy persons that it is considered "almost a
normal inhabitant of the upper part of the di-
gestive tract"
During the six months of the coming winter
more than 2,19O persons in this city will become
victims of pneumonia. Nobody will be immune
from the summons of the death captain. 1t will
be served upon the strong as we'll as upon the
weak.
But there are certain rules of living which Will
reduce ones liability to the disease. From the
bulletins of the health department and from other
authoritative sources the following rules may be
set down for observance:
Do not overhead the house. Most people habit
ually dwell in apartments the temperature of

THE HOME CIRCLE


The rain, the desolate raini
Ceaseless and solemn and chilli
How it drips on the misty pane,
How it drenches the darkened sill!
0 scene of sorrow and dearth!
/ would that the wind awaking
To a fierce and gusty birth
Might vary this dull refrain
Of the rain, the desolate rain;
For the heart of the heavens seem breaking
In tears DER the fallen earth,
And again, again, again,
We list to the somber strain
The faint, cold monotone
Whose soul is a mystic moan
Of the rain, the mournful rain,
The soft, despairing rain.
The rain, the mournful rainl
Weary, passionless slow,
IT'S the rhythm of settled sorrow,
The sobbing of cureless woe!
And all the tragic of life,
TIL pathos of long ago,
Comes back on the sad refrain
Of the rain, the dreary rain;
Till the graves in my heart u~nclose,
And the dead who are buried there,
From a solemn and a weird repose
Awake, and with eyes that glare
And voices that melt in pain
On the tide of the plaintive rain,
The warming, hopeless rain,
The long. low, whispering rain!

PENSION GUESSES.

The cost Of every general pension
law we have ever had has been
groteSquely underestimated.
Il was said that the dependent
pension act Of 1890 would not cost
over 100000 a year. 1t has
cost over six times that amount,
and is to-day responsible for nearly
two-t thirds of all the names on the
pension rolls. Nine tenths Of all
new civil war claims being allowed
are filed under that law. even be-
fore President Roosvelt's latest
extension of it has taken effect.
But for the act of 1890 the civil
war pension roll would now be
shrinking at the rate of about
10000 names year, instead of
remaining practically stationary
These facts will enable lis to
