"The report of the Senat9 committee on the Pacific Islands relating to con

inquii j concerning the leper settlement on Molokal Island, which ia under terri

THE usual question ol heating and yenti

twenty years has bad something to say about the heating and ventilation ol
the building. And there seems to be some good reason for tie recurrence of
the question ; for from almost every term of the body for years and years some
of the members have died. The deaths sometimes haye been so numerous
that many a member has gone to ltaleigh with considerable fear that he might
catch his death in that building. It is to be hoped that the proper thing will

In Winter Time.
Selected. ,
About the dreary fields today,
The winds go wailing up and down,
The brooding skies are chill and gray,
The hills are bleak, the wo.ds are
brown.
A little while ago they wore
The gorgeous court-dress of October,
But now their masquerading o'er,
The fields, the hills, the woods once
more
Vat on their 1 omoepnu sober.
Ah, what care we, if winds are cbiM
If woods are bleak and skies are
grajF !
While in our hearts ftjve'a summer?
still
Abides, and will not fadeaway?
There is a sunshine on the hearth,
A genial brightness, broad and ten
der,
That compensates lo: wintry dearth,
That makes the humblest home on
earth
A world of warmth and splendor !
So, when the twilight gathers slow,
The welcome hearth-fire's ruddy li
Makes our low cottage windows glow
Like cheerful beacon of the night
And band in baud, we, drawing near,
About the hearthstone, happy
hearted, Forgaithe world without is drear,
That sullen winter storms are here,
That summer has departed.
Heap on more fuel let the blaze
Leap upward to the blackened rafter
While gathered in the lire-light glow,
We speed the hours with song and
laughter.
What care we, if the tempest rage,
Sale folded in our cottage warm?
We thank the tender God above,
Who guards us with hU watchful love
And shields us fm the storm.

Goldsboro Argus.
Senator Hoar said ia a recent speech
in Boston that the longer he lived the
more he was satisfied that the spirit and
temper of which S. S. Blanchard was
the embodiment was ar. important and
desirable spirit aad temper in our po
liticaHife. To win by gentleness and
notby reviling those are the instru
ments by which great political accom
plishments are brought to pass in our
republic.
Gentleness is a great force. There
is true philisophy in the fable of the
wind and the sun. Love is the great
est power, either human or divine. All
the great reforms in all ages, either
political or religious, have beeu accom
plished through love ana triw love is
always gentle. Tyrant have lived for
a time and have subdued men by brute
force, but no regime of brute force and
hatred has lasted for long. T le great
est 'conqueror the world ever knew was
the Prince of Peace, and he was the
perfection oi gentleness. As Napoleon
said years ago, he established his em
pire on love, and his millions of sub
jects today are ready, if necsssary, to
die for him.
Gentleness does not mean - weakness,
does not imply a lack of firmness, a lack
of stability. The man of character and
influence must be firm in his convic
tions and must never make compro
mises with evil. There are times when
he must fight and agitate, but he may
also do this and still be gentle at heart.
Robert E. Lee was one of the gentlest
of men a gentleman in the true sense
of the word."

"A Few Doses Helps

One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changeable ciiinate. To protect the
family from colds end coughs is always
a serious problem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
of every oae to catch cold. Care in
avoiding exposure and the use of proper
clothing will protect from the frequency
and perhaps the severity of colds, but
with the greatest of precautions they
vf ill come. This is a settled fact of
htuuan ejLpfrrlenea.
Especially is this true during the
6tormy and unsettled weather of early
Winter. Everybody must expect to be
caught somewhere or somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or cold
draught, or clamp clothes, or may be too
close confinement iu hot rooms and then

DISLOCATED HER SHOULDER.
Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Ferius
Falls, Minn., fell and dislocated her
shoulder. She had a surgeon get it
back in place as soon os possible, but
it was quite sore and pained her very
much. Her son mentioned that he
had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm ad
vertised for sprains and soreness, and
she as!ced him to buy her a bottle of
It, which he did. It quickly , relieved
her and enabled her to sleep which she
had not done for several days. The
son was so much pleased with the re
lief it gave bis mother that he has
since rec mmended it to many other.

may be one of a thousand other little
mishaps, but no one is shroud enough to
always avoid the inevitable catching
cold.
Sometimes colds come like au epi
demic; everybody seems to have one at
once. The very air about us is poison to
the head, throat and lungs.
There ia no fact of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousand
of families in all parts of the United
States are protected each winter by
Peruna. Once in the family Peruna
always stays. No home can npare Pe
runa after the first trial of it. A splendid
example of this fact is fottud in the

been sick at all. I also gave it to my
husband until he was good and well.
1 do not know how I could have stood
taking care ot them and being up night
and day, had It not been for Peruna.
"Last winter was the first winter in
sixteen years that I did not have a
cough. It Is impossible to explain my
thanks in words. I never looked as
well as I do now.
''Peruna is our family medicine and
always will be. I do my own house

now that I am so strong and well,
thanks to Peruna and your good advice.
