There are. hundreds of bankers and
rich men who live in the cities and

work them nor pay the 81 90. There
is only oneiast way to work the roads,
and that is by taxation. The cities
do not make the poor man work the
streets, they are worked by taxation.
Yes, they do more than that by the
same system; they build good school
houses and run them nine months
out Of the twelve. Who blames the
poor man from quitting the country
when he has to work the roads and
not dollar appropriated by the
State to keep up the school houses
and only supplementary sum suffi
ciet to run the schools three months?
An cid schools house is enough to
give the children pneumonia o. some

appropriate large sums of money for

then both justice and equity demand
that an appropriation be made for
the maintenance Of the common

You May Learn Something From Ev-
erybody You Meet.
One Of the most useful success habits
one can form is that Of learning some
thing from everybody with whom he
comes in contact. No information which
can be acquired is too trivial to be ig-
nored.
Constantly measure yourself with the
men you meet You will find that every
one can teach you something which you
did not know before and which. per-
haps, YOU would never have 4 chance
to learn again if you did not acquire 1t
from him.
Daniel Webster once made great
hit in arguing a case before a jury Dy
repeating story which he afterWaru
said be had not thought Of since be
heard it fourteen years before. But
Webster was always picking up some
thing for future use. His famous reply
to Hayne, the greatest speech ever de-
Hvered on the American continent, was
largely made up Of little reserves which
ne had picked up here and there IN his
reading. from studying men and from
observation.
Many a prominent novelist has COL
lected materia! for his stories by max
inc notes Of his conversations with
those lie has met and by observation.
Charles Dickens got great deal OF the

way.
One young man will 80 to lecture
and after spending an hour listening to
the helpful. inspiring words OF some
prominent man will leave the hall or
lecture room without having derived
any benefit from the address. Another
young man will attend the same lee
ture with an ambition to learn some
thing. He will drink in the speakers
sentences as if be were never to hear
such words of encouragement and H.
spiration again At the conclusion or
the address he will determine that he
will make more Of his opportunities IN
the future; that be will read more
think more, study more, be more than
he ever was before. Such young man
has a purpose and is determined to
learn something from everything he
comes in contact with and from every
body he talks to- The other has no am
bition. does not throw himself into
what he does lets his mind wander
hither and thither, so that he never
wholly understands what people are
saying and therefore never derives any
benefit or information from those with
whom he econverses.-Orison SWEET Mar
