The dotermlnation of the citizens, of Yoncala, as expressed .by their enthusiastic mass meeting held yesterday not to be downcast and disheartened be cauao of the unilmoly destruction of their fine school building, Ib only what was to have been expected from the class of oitlzons compris ing that progressive place. Accord ing to the reports of the mooting received hero, place after place was offered in which to hold the dosses until such time as temporary quar to can be obtained and a new building (put ip. No nought of Htoppng the' schoolB until this could be accomplished was observed In the remarks of any of the citizens, and all supplies needed were offered by the merchants at actual cost prices. It waB a hard blow to the thriving community, especially when one con siders 'the other misfortunes- which have preceded this, but the unduunt ffu spirit In which this new problem Is being taken up and will be handl ed, gives proof that It will be carried out to a most sunceasful finish.

At one time Villa had the sympathy of the peo ple and press of this country, but norr there can be but one answer to hla madness, and that Is to see him hunted down and made to ntono for the doedB committed by his direct ordorB.

Vest Pocket Essay s BY GEORGE PITCH VERMONT VERMONT popular pc It Is one-li Is one of our most pocket edition states. i-halr of a phllopena New Hampshire being tho other nnd la slightly smaller than Nye county, Nevada, though consider ably more prominent, socially. Vermont has the best foundation of any state. It is solid marble and the humble Vermont farmer could go , out back of his barn and blast the Ingredients for a royal palace out of his cow lot If he had time. Ag riculture In Vermont Is conducted with dynamite, pickaxes and chan neling machines, and tho farmer has to tront his farm as If It were a parlor carpet in order to keep from wearing all the soil off of Its beauti ful stone BUbsurfaco. Vermont has some of the thinnest skinned farms In the world and some of the thick est skinned politicians. The population of Vermont Is about 36,000 people, most of whom were born there. The state Is not annoyed by immigration. On tho other hand, almost everyday the pop ulation of Borne Vermont town- goes down to the train to bid good-bye i to some citizen "who Is going West to buy a farm large enough to bal ance a calf on without sacrificing tho potato patch. Vermont has sup plied the ancestors for hundreds of thousands of Western people, and Is regarded with grent affection every where west of New York. Tomb stones and ancestors are In fact its greatest exports. Tho soil of Ver mont when properly cut nnd pol ished makes beautiful tombstones, nnd the Vermont boy if caught young enough and transported to some western state becomes a Con gressman with scarcely any effort.

It is but to restate accepted history to say thnt tho declaration of American Independence was received with ridicule nnd pessimistic predic tions of the speedy collapse of the proposed republic by nil the mon-, nrchlcal nations of the world, and it required sewn years of heroic battle, nnd the direst privation and suffer ing, to mako good the declaration thnt the people of America had tho rirht and ouitht to bo freo and Inde- For Sic Headache. water laxative or any of the undoc tored Ballne laxatives, like Epsom BaitB, or phosphate of soda, or Sold litz powders, may be taken every few days, to favor the elimination of toxic matter.

Vermont has had a glorious his tory nnd has lnsurged three times once against the Indians, one against the British nnd once against Massa chusetts, which attempted to swal low It.

The Press Of The Nations right to rule that a government based on tiie consent of the governed can endure. It has endured, nnd not only en dured, but, holding to the basic principle that nil just government d-Tlvcs its power from the consent of the governed and thnt tho peoplo r.re the repository of nil powor, has risen to a commanding position of nnchnllenged pre-eminence among the nations of the earth. The capac ity of the people for self-government has been demonstrated for a century and a third. The man obsessed with the idea thnt power flows downward to the people from those having an in herited right to rule may be unwill ing to concede thnt the position and power of this nntion is the logical outcome of popular government, but the fact remains that here peace pre vails and the despised republic has become the almoner of the nations. Tho stone which the builder re jected has become the headstone of the corner. The star of the once de spised young republic casts athwart the seas its rays of comfort and hope for the war-cursed nations whose fields are reddened with human blood and whose people sup with poverty and sit by desolate hearthstones, while the wall of bruised hearts rises above the din of human habitations.

He does things In his own way. For Instance, he wears a neat, gray wig in tiie winter time, but lays it off with the coming of the first spring days, along with his high shoes and winter underwear. When he came to the Senate he made a long speech, almost as, soon as he had been assigned to a Beat regard less of custom to the contrnry. Al ways he goes ahead by whatever route occurs to him. Others can go 1 some other way if they wish to. It was the same way when he was a criminal lawyer, out In Colorado years ago. Thomas was one of the most re sourceful criminal lawyers in the West. If he couldn't get a fellow out of Jnll by alibi, habeas corpus, or some other such conventional means, he would think up some other way. This made him a mighty desirable attorney for murderers and such peo ple. Mnny a bright young murderer had his career spoiled and died sud denly from hanging, simply because he lacked the foresight to employ Thomas for his attorney. In one case Thomas appeared for a man accused of murdering a promi nent citizen, who had received a bul let wound under the shoulder blade. The question wns whether the man had been murdered or committed suicide. Thomas took an optimistic view of the situation and advanced many theories to show the Jury that it wns a case of suicide. But, the prosecuting attorney nsked: "How could It have been suicide when it is physically impos sible for a man to point a gun at such an angle against his own back? Men arent Built with long enough arms." "Ah, shucks!" declared Thomas at that point, and he picked up the re volver, which comprised Exhibit A, and with hiB long right arm, pointed Pepper Talks By George Matthew Adams Obligations Everyone of us has his Obliga tions.

You may think thnt to "let up" on somo one of your high Obligations nt times Is not going to make much difference. But the keen eve of op portune Perfection, that ever watches over the progress of every individual, is sure to detect nnd re cord it against you, and your big ness and greatness Is going to lose from thnt hour just thnt much how much, no man may know. For every Obligation that Is slighted or abandoned, there appears nn added Obligation that must be paid for at its own pi Ice. Honor your Obligations and keep them. Be glad that you have Ob ligations off of which you may Crow. For no one-is worth his Salt or his Dust that has not at some time or other placed worthily, some other person as highly Obligated to him.

Rochester Democrat. Current Poetry The Lesson When Tommy went to bed at nisht he used to lark and play. Instead of folding up his clothe :ind putting them away. He'd leave his stockings on .ha stairs; he never cared at a.: If Jacket, shoes and waist and tie were scattered, through -the hall. : And after he was fast asleep thcro lay along the floor A slovenly, untidy trail of every thing he wore. Of course his mother picked them up and laid them on a chair, And when he woke at breakfast time he always found them there. But Just last week he had a dream a goblin all In white Stood leering at him through -,'ie gloom; a truly horrid s'. : it And savagely the goblin said: "At last, I think, I've found The very foolish little boy "hat throws his clothes aroun:).

I'll give you Just two minutes, p-st two minutes, sir, from how. , And if you are not dressed by than I'll take you, anyhow " Well, Tommy hunted breathlesslv, but all that he could do Within the time allowed to him was Just to find one shoe. And with one shoe and nothing els: ' although he begged and cried. He had to trudge through frozen drifts beside the goblin's side; To slide across the glittering ic, while that malignant sprite Stood pelting him with snowballs through that long and awful night He woke next morning shivering and when night came poor threw his clothes around the room the way he always did.
