LEARN HOW TO WORK.

An exchange, speaking of the prosperity of a
community, says the people of the neighborhood
have learned to do much of their own work; that
the young men and young women are not ashamed
to work; that the girls can fry chicken and make
cake, then adjourn to the parlor and plav the
piano ito beat the band" that the boys can
plough, and mark hog, and while doing it tell
about 'lnfantile paralysis and different literary
qualities of magazines"
When the Young people of any community
get to that point their success is assured
There is nothing more honorable than honest
work, whether it be with the hands or with the
brain.

TINE TO IMPROVE COUNTRY ROADS.

This is mighty good time for everybody tc
get busy and improve our country roads. Winter
will be coming along soon and then we will be
again amenting the fact that the roads are mud
dy, and rough, and getting worse all of the time
Of course they will be muddy and rough, and will
keep on getting worse, unless we buck up our
selves and get out and do something worth while.
We have never yet seen fellow who was not will
ing to get out his hammer and knock wht the
subject OF country roads is mentioned, bit very
few of them are willing to use shovel, or spade
or scraper. If we had more do and less talk, W.

hammer could be put to better use.

DEPRIVED OF VOTING PRIVILEGE.

Many soldiers serving on the border are losing
their right to vote at the primaries and at the
general election as reward (?) for their patriot
ism and fidelity in time of national stress. These
National Guardsmen, over hundred thousand of
them, were sent to the border to protect American
citizens and American property from the raids of
the bloodthrsty brigands across the Rio Grande.
Each of them left positions in civil life which paid
them many times the amount of their government
pay. The sacrifices they have made are not small
And yet there is no governmental law which gives
them the right to vote at their company stations
for the civil officers who are to rule them when
they return to their homes. The soldiers from a
few states enjoy this privilege through state
made laws, but the many do not 1t is shame,
disgrace, travesty upon the vaunted justice of
this country, and should be remedied without de-
lay. The man who is willing to shed his blood for
his country should not be deprived of his right
to vote because of that willingness.

PAY WHAT YOU OWE US.

When you have read through this issue of the

nto your active brain. The paper on which this
ssue was printed has cost US more than double
What it cost us one year ago. The ink we
lsed is away up in price. The oil that keeps the
'ress revolving is up in price. The power that
moves the machinery is sky high. In fact, every
tenn of expense is up in the clouds and many are
Iway above them, and every dollar of expense
means just that amount of money right out Of
our pocket. A great many subscribers are in ar
tears on subscription to The Weekly Common

THE LIFE WE LIVE.

This life, my friends, is just the thing; one
day we weep, the next day we sing; today
we whoop, tomorrow we wall, which keeps
us all from going stale. And as our days and
years advance we never know just what will
chance. Tomorow's mysteries are hid, and she
is sitting on the lid and what she has in her old
chest can never be by mortal guessed And that
Is why this htes sublime, and why we have so
great time. II we could in the future tread, if
we could see year ahead, and know Just what
the gods will send, the spice of life would have an
end The unexpected is the stuff that makes this
planet good enough. AT morn you rise, de-
pressed, and say" fear twill be lonesome day,
with none to bruse away my tears, or tie some
taSSels on my ears" And while you rise a
mourntul din, your aunt and seven kids blow in
with baggage packed in trunk and crate, to stay
six months, or maybe eight. 'Tis then that you
rear up and bless your native earth.-Walt Mason.
