LEMONS FOR WOOD. .
From the toue of Editor Woods' last,
we conclude that be has again keen at
the receiving end of a lenaou delivery.
Not so very long ago be was lifted to
the dizzy heights of public notice by
a prohibition orator, who drew a vivid
word picture of the colonel's short
comings, publicly proclaimed him to
be a loiterer at the shrine of Baocbas
in fact directed him as a juicy sub
ject for a sound, logical temperanoe
serruou, and it is said all frills were in
cluded iu the picture. Instead of con
siderately sinking out of sight for a
few days, the egotistical ignoramus
flaunted his despised personality before
the populace until bis position struck
the publio mind with a disgust like
unto tbat of the individual who sits
down on a big, mushy, fat caterpillar.
Time, the great leveler of incidents,
bud scarcely effaced the prohibition
episode, when the colonel is again
ushered forth into the limelight. This
time it's a Free Methodist preacher,
named Denny, and there is nothing left
of Wood sans egotism, even. The
doughty minister of the gospel left
nothing unsaid. He effectually punc
tured tbe Weston editor's tarnished
leopard spots, and laid bare before tbe
eyes of bis audienoe the grilling truth
in all its glowing force of fact. He
demonstrated to tb satisfaction of all,
the evil effects occurring" from 200
pouuds of oppression iu any community
tbe size of Weston.
Tbe Rev. Douny is a farseeing man
and he struck straight from the
shoulder at a social obstrnotiou that
lias long beou tbe righteous cause for
attack iu the columns of the Press.
For tbe good ot Weston, we siuoerelW
hope tbat she has wised up to existing
conditions and tbat ere this, Wood has
beou either riddou out or town ou u
rail, or hr s sought tbe seclusion of bis
Uardena ranch, where only snnd toads
nud ground squirrels will tin burdened
with bis obnoxious presouoe.

and tbat those indulging in occasional
sprees on liquor Bumptiously acquired
were laying themselves open to social
ostracism. In recording a recent
incident at Weston, under tbe above
bead, the Weston Leader pertinently
says:
"It doesn't often huppeu at Weston
now. bat the other night during tbe
progress of a danoe certain young men
of this town were noticeably affected
by some bottled disturbance seemingly
imported for tbe occasion. Next
morning tbe empty bottles lying about
tbe street gave mute evidence of tbe
potency of their jag. This sort of
thing is decidedly out of date at Wes
ton now, -wbicb fact tbey would do
well to bear in mind. To get drunk is
no longer regarded as tbe outward,
sign of inherent manliness. ' Quite the
contrary. A "drunk" is simply look
ed upou us u publio nuisance, whose
behavior indicates bis ooutempt for
tbe opinions of others and bis reckless
disregard of bis owu good name.
Yonng fellows who feel that tbey must
get soused now aud then, would better
amble aoross tbe line, accumulate and
dispose of their jag. aud then come
baok sober. To beoome the hilarious
assooiate of John Barleyoorn in this
community excites its contempt and
derision together with a certain pity
for tbe feebli mind tbat permits itself
to imagine tbat it is elevated by a de-bauob."
Prof. Walter A. Wyokoff, who died
recently, was tbe author of "Tbe
Workers," book on tbe laboring man
wbioh has retrained vital through a
deoade of interesting literature on
social conditions. The reason for tbe
life of tbe book was tbat it recorded
tbe author's aotual experience for a
year aud a half as a working man.
He lived by tbe labor of bis bands in j
field, ditch aud mining camp; ho play
ed the game fairly, and did not help
himself out by "money from home" or
checks from bis publishers. He knew
what it was to be out of a job and "on
bis uppers." That is why his mater
ial was fresh and vivid when he re
turned to the professor's easy chair to
write the story of bis experience.
Practically tbe same may be said of
Jack Loudon. Muob of bis literary
work reflects actual experience of his
life, aud "Martiu Eden," bis splendid
story, uow tunning iu serial form in
the Paciflo Monthly, is said to be tbe
result of crumbs of praotioal knowl
edgo swept into a retentive memory,
while boariug the cuff's and hardships
tbat come with tbe life of a sailor boy.
Tbey are making a deuce of a racket
about these direotoire dresses, but
what is tbe cause for commotion? Do
you remember the old fashioned hoop
skirt? When a whirlwind came along
it took two fellows with all the skill
they could master to keep one of them
within bounds aud "bouuds" meant
almost anywhere so long as tbe girl
remaiued inside of them. Tbey were
the peekabooesfebutraptions tbat were
ever invented, and the outlandish sizes
that were worn Mrs. Lincoln wore

Every member of tbe community
and especially every parent sbouldtake
a deep interest in the publio school.
It is not enough to pay your sobool
tax without complaining, or to know
tbat tbe teachers are qualified, nor ia
it even enough to keep your children in
school regularly. If yon are really
interested in this subjeot as yon should
be, yon should visit tbe sohool regu
larly and persistently, observes the
Waitsbnrg Times. Few people have
any idea what an inoentive it is to both
teacher and sobolar to know that par
ents and outsiders are taking a lively
interest in their work. We believe tbe
"little folks" at sobool appreciate
snob interest more perhaps than tbe
larger ones. Still the effect is not
lost on any of them, and we hope every
parent will take a bint from this and
plaoe the publio sobool on their visit
