and companion Of President Roosevelt.
He was born in 1845, the son Of a
professor at Hamilton college. He
was first school teacher and then n
lawyer. In personality Mr.. Root Is Its
clined to be austere and very much
under self-control. Since March, 1883,
when he was appointed by President
Arthur United States attorney for the
southern district Of New York, Mr..
Root has been almost continuously

John Moore's Busy Evening.

The family Of John Moore, in north
ern C5manche county, went to place
Of refuge from a tornado the other
night only to find that they had gotten
into a cave barefooted with a rattle

in complete darkness when the In

mistakable sound made by a RATHER
Mr.. Moore hastily struck a match and
by its faint glimmer saw the snake in
the attitude Of striking. The match
went out and the family began to
scream. Another match was lighted
and the snake was still visible, and
rafting furlously Then Mr.. Moore
made flying leap for the steps, jump
ing over the snake, opened the door
and secured a pitchfork. Then while
his wife held match he killed the

Tennessee and war democrat.
Many believed that he would be
even more severe on the South
than II he had been North
erner, but many others believed that
he would not adopt decided measures
to meet the serious situation. John
son pushed forward the work Of re-
construction when Congress was not
In session. The blockade was raised
and the Southern ports opened once
more to the commerce Of the world.
Congress attributed to Johnson's
hasty reconstruction the bills that
were passed by SO many Southern leg
islatures that sought to regulate the
conditions Of the negroes In the re-
constructed States. There ensued a
demand for the impeachment of the
President That he was not impeached

war.
The outcome of the war had not Tor
a moment been in doubt; that the
United States would win was newt
able; but there was a doubt concern
ing the fate Of the Pacific squadron.
The name Of Admiral Dewey was little
known outside of naval circles, and his
opportunity for proving his ability In
emergencies had not yet come to him.
But the element of suspense had
raised the country to the height Of ex-
pectancy, awaiting the occurrence or
a battle that should settle the war de-
cisively on the sea, when the news OF
the battle Of Manila bay came to the
American public. The two qualities
Of Dewey that were brought out be-
fore the public in connection with the
battle were his decisivehess and his
quickness Of action.
It Is the man who has no qu1bbHngs
about duty, the soldier, or the sailor,
Or the civilian, who obeys orders, who
stands ready for the fight for country
and right, whatever the cause may be,
who Is the patriot Of to-day, just as he
was the patriot of yesterday. It is the
man who strikes out from the Shout
der and who hits the mark straight
who wins the fight.

On the 10Th of December East Keek-

the hands Of the besiegers. This was
the beginning of the end. Six torpe-

feet and thousands of heroic soldiers

large army of Japs, and has thus les

"Dip an Done Wild IT,"

Bishop Wilmer, second Bishop Of
Alabama, and famous raconteur of
the South, often told the following
story:
He had baptized and confirmed an
old negro, signing him with the sign
of the cross, declaring him an heir to
the Kingdom of Heaven and member
of the Episcopal church.
In few weeks the Bishop learned
that the old man had severed his
church alliance and was a "shoutin'
elder" in the African Methodist Epis-
copal meeting house known as Hick-
ory Stand.
Several weeks later the Bishop
heard that he had resigned that mem.
bership and had been immersed, be-
coming professor Of the Baptist per-
suasion at the negro church known as
Frog Level.
When next the Bishop met the old
negro he asked: Josiah, why did you
leave my church Anybody hurt your

The Pneumonia season.

Precautions against contracting
pneumonia are timely just now, with
the variable changes in the weather.
The sudden drops and advances in
temperature. the rains and frosts and
accompanying atmospheric variations,
teach the lesson that safeguards
against disease which has high
death ratio should be taken. Meas.
ures worth observing are suggested as
follows, which have been compiled
from bulletins Of the Chicago health
department aud other sources:
"Do not overhead the house. Most
people habitually dwell in apartment
the temperature Of which ID from
three TO ten degrees too high.
Wear light under wear and heavy
overcoats rather than heavy under
wear and light overcosts.
Avoid mingling with crowds when
extremely tired or when food has not
been taken for longer interval than
usual. Avoid becoming chilled when
overtired.
Admit TO all rooms where you live
and work plenty Of sunlight and fresh
AIR.
Keep warm when indoors, even If
it is necessary to build fires in seasons
when it is unusual to do 30. Avoid
indoor chill and dsmpness as much as
possible. For this reason be careful
to remove the chill before moving in
to apartments freshly pspered or cal.
somined.
'Be careful during variable weather.
Where there is continual cold or con.
slant warmth the disease is little
known.

to pneumonia with startling rspidity.
Take plenty Of exercise in the sun

the only preventive"

Do Not Suppress a Cough.

When you have a cough do not try TO
suppress it, but remove the cause. The
cough is only a symptom Of some dis
ease, and the disease is what you should
cure, then the cough will stop OF itself.
The most common cause Of coughing is
a cold. AnodYnes will promptly sup
press the cough. and preparations con-
tanning chloroform, opium, etc, are
used for that purpose, but they do not
cure the cold. Chamberlain Cough
Remedy on the other hand does not
suppress the cough, but relieves il BY
removing from the throat and lungs the
mucus which obstructed the breathing
and allaying the irritation and tickling
in the throat. 1t also opens the secrs-
tions and effsctually and permanently
cures the cold as well as the cough.

Hail to the valiant-hearted one
Who ne'er gives up the fight:
With courage high he meets the sun.
And his faith is firm at night
Though YOU lay him prone. he isup again.
And his front IS to the foe;
He finds some joy in the touch Of pain
And he looks beyond the woe.
His life is warfare. scared his face.
But his spirit cannot die:
He is martial born. and he seeks place
Where the battle bugles cry.
There is never a noble cause but he
Helps it by deed and word;
Defeat to him is but victory
For hidden gain deferred.
When luck is darkest he only laughs,
And he strivss for seven times seven.
For he deems the years are but ePitaphs
