PNEUMONIA'S RAvAGES.

Pneumonia now is killing over 200
people week in Greater New York.
All Of the hospitals are being besieged
for the admission of patients suffer-
ing from this dread ailment and these
institutions are being taxed to their
utmost.
This probably has been one of the
most unhealthful winters New York
has experienced in many year, and,
whatever we New Yorkers may say
about our city, when indulging in
some -puffed remarks, we GER
tainly cannot say much for New York
weather. It is the dampest of damp
colds in winter and the hottest of hui
mid hot in summer. With the hui
midity and ever-changing conditions
It is the limit. SO much so that re-
Gently, when a New Yorker consulted
his doctor and asked him If he did
not think a change was needed, the
latter replied:
Yes, you do need a change. Stay
right here in town and you will gel
one every half hour"
| Just as the snowfall this winter ha:
been most unusual for the metropolis
so have been the moisture and the
fogs. This, physicians hold is respon
sible for the prevalence of pulmon
ary troubles which are causing ar
average of $50 deaths a week.-Nev
York Letter.

FOLLOW YOUR OWN LIGHT.

You are but what you are; analysis
is folly, and ends in nothing else than
aims of vaporish foundation. What
does 1t matter what you are? What
does 1t matter where you are? You
hope, you win, fail, struggle with
thousands of souls and ages.
Go, throw away your theories, your
precepts, and philosophers. Follow
the light that is given to you; a gnat
or god can do no more; follow your
native light, be it pale or strong:
though 1t lead to fortunes palace or
to fortunes hut; and following 1t, you
are greater far, with your penniless
pockets and your patched up clothes,
than the king on his throne or the
millionaire that turns away from the
rays of his better dreams. The only
crown is dignity; the only dignity is
fidelity-fidelity to your guiding stars,
whatever they might be.
Suppose you have no guiding star?
Eternal justice would sympathize
with fall in the darkness. and not
condemn. But few are the natures
that have no stars; though many are
controlled by perversity, which pre-
fers the artificial to the real, and
looks to every guidance but the natu-
| raj.
So live from the light within you
as best you can see, as best you car
do; that is your mission, your fate
your reward. No tribunal of heaven
can ask of you more.-Bert Finck, in
! the Open Road.

Now let the state rights people
howl. The president says that the
state laws on railroad fares, freight
rates, regulation and other features of
the railroad question are not worth
the paper they are written upon. This
is centralized government with a
vengeance. But it is best. The gov
ernment should own the railroads
anyway, and the president is simply
paving the way and making the final
possession of them by the people easy

THE GOVERNOR is GUILTY"

If the recent legislature did any,
thing of which it is ashamed, it can
place the blame on the governor.
The governor seems to be such
potentiality in Oregon that SO free and
Independent members Of the majority
party in the Oregon legislature could
do nothing with him. The governor
is responsible for every mistake made
by the session of 1907, according to
the whining heard in different quar-
ters about the results of the session.
The truth of the matter is that the
session of 1907 will be known as the
most extravagant, wavering, undecid-
ed and lodging session of recent years
and those responsible are trying to get
out from under the CALLING RESPONSE
bility.
Representative Settlemier of Marion
county, says the greatest failure CT the
session was in its lack of organiza-
tion, leadership. 1t had no head nor
tail and did not know one dav whai
It would do the neyt day on any sub
ject. This is a pretty harsh verdict
to come from a member of the ma
jority.

are now distinctly luxuries to the
middle classes.
In recent address the mayor of
the city of Stuttgart, which has a
population of 2i7,0O0 stated that
during the last twelve months the
city's meat supply had cost about
sG6o,oOo more than for the preceding
year. The agricultural products con-
sumed in the city cost at least ST.
100000 more than the year before
Owing to this great increase OF cost
tho city was compelled to raise the
wages of all its leborers and en-
poyes. Reports of like conditions
come from almost all other German

THE LESSON OF FRISCO.

1t remained for Francis ]. Heney
to urearth the saturnalia of graft
and corruption in San Francisco. The
stencil from the municipal government
of the Bay city reaches to heaven.
Only one public official so far, has
not been accused or indicted.
The labor unions of San Francisco
picked up Schmitz who had nothing
at stake and made him mayor.
Schmitz picked up Ruef, who had
nothing at stake, and made him boss.
This is not saying that men of
wealth do not become crooked ras-
Gals in office as we'll as men without
wealth. But it is true that in the case
of Schmitz he permitted himself to
be used as tool, and became himself
an abject tool of the most appalling
municipal thievery in the history of
the country.
This will be perpetual stigma on
the unbridled labor union rule which
has debauched San Francisco. Here
after the people of San Francisco will
demand substantial men, with moral
financial and business responsibility
for their public offices.

OPEN THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART

Open the door of your heart, my lass,
To the things that shall abide,
To the holy thoughts that lift your
soul
Like the stars at eventide.
All of the fadeless flowers that bloom
In the realms of song and art
Are yours, If you'll only give them
room,
Open the door of your heart.
Open the door Of your heart, my
friend,
Needless of class or creed,
When you hear the cry of a brothers
voice,
The sob of a child in need.
To the shining Heaven that DER you
bends
You need no map or chart.
But only the love the Master gave,
Open the door of your heart.

during the past few days the fol-

labor trouble is settled in Goldield
they will fly skyward again. Then
It will be too late to buy al the pres
ent prices"
Charles Epstine. OF the Fl. Epstine
Co; Consider stocks a good buy
at the present prices. Adviees re-
ceived at 5 p. m. indicate that labor
troubles will be settled. San Fran
cisco closing Quotations show the
market to be as strong as ran be
expected"
E. E. Cert. Of the Emil Sutro Co.
Market closed with a irmer tone.
As soon as the labor trouble is set
tied In Goldheld the market is bound
to be stronger, Goldfeld CONSOLE
dated closed at sS.62A and I think
this is the bed rock price of this
stock.
Aubrey Henderson, Of the Kenneth
Donnellan Co. Now is a good time
to load up on stocks. As soon as
the labor trouble in Goldheld is set
tied all stocks win be back at their
old figures again"

The Right Kind of n Boy.

The other morning we were In the midst of a three days rain. The fire smoked, the dining room was chilly, and, when we assembled for breakfast, father looked rather grim, and mother tired; for the baby had been restless all night Polly was plainly inclined to fretfulness, and Bridget undeniably cross. when Jack came in with the breakfast rolls from the bakers. He had taken of his coat and boots in the hall, and he came In rosy and smiling
 Here's the paper, sir" said he to his father, with such cheerful tone that his fathers brow relaxed, and he said, An, Jack, thank you," quite pleasantly
 His mother looked up at him smiling. and he just touched her cheek gently as he passed.
 Top of the morning to you, Polly wog," he said to his little sister, and delivered the rolls to Bridget, with a Here you are. Bridget. Aren't you sorry you didn't go yourself this beau tiful day?"
 He gave the fire a poke and opened the damper. The smoke ceased, and presently the coals began to glow; and five minutes after Jack came in we gathered around the table anl were eating our oatmeal as cheerily as pos sible. This seems very simple in the telling, and Jack never knew he had done anything at all; but he had, in fact, changed the whole moral atmos- phere of the room, and had started gloomy day pleasantly for five people.

"To have and to hold from this day forward for better for worse. for rich CT for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish. ."-Marriage Ser vice. Doubtless these words echoed in the ears of Judge Morschauser when, at White Plains, \. T., he denied the application of Harry Woods wife for alimony and counsel fees In her divorce suit and suggested that the attorneys could and should effect a reconciliation. The suit was brought on charges of neglect and abandonment. Yet MT. Wood presented evidence which satls- fed the court that the trouble was due to his loss of employment and his con sequent poverty, for which he was not to blame. Probably the root of the trouble was In the heart of one or both of the parties to the marriage Prob ably one or both of them had failed to realize that marriage Is 'an estate not by any one to be entered Into unad ylsedly or lightly, but reverently, dis creetly, adTisedly, soberly, and In the fear of God" If there were other req sons than his material misfortunes why this woman should be separated from the husband to whom she had given her roth for richer for poorer" It Is plain that she did not bring them forward, The prepossession of men Is on the side of the woman In such cases, and, had there been anything to justify 1t, the balance of justice would have inclined to her side. The wife's duty" as Judge Morschauser well said, lis to share her husbands misfortunes as well as his successes" just as 1t Is his duty to do all that Is In human power to provide for her comfort. "She should not be eager to seek legal separation" " as the court said again, when adver- sity Is the sole cause of unhappiness, |" any more than he should seek 1t for any cause which 1t is beyond her power to control. Marriage means that the man and the woman are to face the storm as well as the sunshine together. The so-called divorce problem" which yexes so many worthy souls Is in re- allty a marriage problem.
