We are the common peopl" the HeW'rS
OF wood and stone,
Tho dwollorS in common places. mighty
of Drawn and bone,
Fearing tho common burden that only
the strikers shun.
And doing the common duty that oth'fS

Dubbed, by the few pl"h'lah raop'' "'

Ours i. the hand that feeds them, ours is
the prize they share.
And ours is the common blessing, free To
the toilcrs all.
To win from the lowly valley unto the
SUBMITS tall
Common. and only common
This hy the might Of mirth.-
Yet the world in its need leans on us --
We are the kings Of the earth.
We arc the common people and ours is
the common clay
That a God deemed ht for using, wheh'
in that oden day.
He took the dust Of the Garden the dust
that His will obcyci.
Fashioned and formed and shaped It.
and man in His image made,
And s.,oinu that Con selected such clay
for the human test,
Ard dc-ming Ills wisdom sufhces To

We, who arc common people and made
Of tho common clay,
Leave to the proud uncommon to improve
on the Makers way.
Common, and only common
Tattered, sometimes. and fraY"d,-
We still are content with tho pattern
That God in His wisdom made.

PUNISH THE ILLEGAL. FISHERS
Q'rom the Rutland Ncws)

The News has from time TO time IN
the past tlvc years or SO called attention
to tho dyuamiting Of Lake BumoS",n.
SEEMING and other Illegal mothol Is Of
wholesale destruction OF fish That nave
been carried on by som" OF the RESIDENTS
of that locality who make Il business of
taking hsh for market and who havc no
regard Tor tho law as to the way or time
when they take them. There is no ,iucS-
ton that these unSportsmanlike, leslIuc-
tive and Illegal methods have been urac-
ticcd off and on by tho class Of pcpplc
referred To- until tn. fishing in that /, k"
is not at all equal in quality to What it
was Il few years ago.
These puacherS are well known t. the
people around the lake but residents have
been terroriz"d. While they dcnounce
bitterly IN, laWlcssnrSs, they make lao
complaint, for fear of nnding their cattle
poisoned or barns burned down or crops
damagr d-tur this lHwlcSs element would
not hcSItat" to- make life Il bur len to
the respectable noishbors who would set
out to put Il stop to their practices.
This S".sou an effort has been inaugu
rated hy the officers from Rutland t. de-
tcct ana punish these rank Violdtprs of
the fish and game laws. Some evidence
has already been gathered and more is
being sought. Before long, as we believe,
