0.1 WRITING.
It is of the greatest value that
the workers should learn how to
express themselves in written or
printed words.
The first big thing necessary to
this end is to have something to
say. Without that it is impossible
to say or write anything, no matter
how well educated you might be.
Writing is a business, an art, a
trade, a profession—what you
make it! of individual thinking to
express individual thought. It is
folly to suppose that writing can be
learned by mastering a certain
number of fixed, printed lessons.
Study of a book, or a correspond
ence course, is helpful—but it does
not teach you how to write. The
way to learn to write is to think
think, think, until you know what
you want to write about, and you
are inspired to think that it will be
worth writing about, then to strug
gle with words, and phrases, and
sentences until you have put your
thinking on paper.
What can be done to help you to
learn to write is simple, as it is
described, but tremendously diffi
cult to carry out in actual practice.
Competent critics, and teachers can
help you to learn to think as your
self, can encourage you to seek ex
pression for your individuality, can
help you to formulate your ideas,
to judge of their value, and to de
velop them into stories, or essays,
or poems, can give you honest opi
nions of your work, and inspiring
suggestions, can watch your work
carefully, as you develop a style, in
short, can help you, in your actual
writing, from the moment you con
ceive an idea for a story or essay,
or poem, until you have the work
in its completed form. And a com
petent tcachor-critic can help you
to sell the work he has helped you
to write.
WOIil) OF WISDOM.
By Woodrow Wilson.
In his speech at Independence
Hall In ric.iadolphia. the President
said:
“It is hard for me to holieve,
under most cricuni: tances, when a
man lias to choose between two!
ways, that he docs not know which j
is the wrong way .... Popularity I
is not always successful patriotism.
The most patriotic man is some
times the man who goes in the di
rection in which he thinks is right,
whether or not he thinks anybody
agrees with him. because it is pa
triotic to sacrifice yourself if you
think you are right. Do not biauie
anybody else if they do not agree
with you. That is not the point.
Do not die with bitterness in your
Ticrrt because you do not convince
Anybody. But die happy, because
you tried to serve your country
without selling your soul’’.

There was a man in our town.
And ho was wonderou3 rash
He voted for a Republican,
And thu3 lost half his cash.
And when what he had done
As guiless as a calf
Ho voted fern a democrat
And lost the ether half.

AND THUN.
I --
The following story is related of
o very good and pious man. He
was living at one of the Italian uni
versities, when a young man whom
he had known as a boy ran up to
him with a face full of delight,
and told him what he had long
been wishing for above all things
in the world was at length fulfilled,
his parents having just given him
.leave to 3tudy the law, and that
thereupon ho had comJ to the law
tichool in this university on account
of its great fame, and meant to
spare no pains or labor in getting
through his studies as quickly and
as well as possible.
In this way he ran on a long
time; and at last he came to a stop
The good man, who had been list
ening to him with great patience
and kindness, said. “Well, and
when the course of study is com
pleted, what then?”
“Then I shall take my doctor’s
degree,” answered the young man.
“And then?” queried the nuu
again.
"And then?” continued th'; youtn
“I shall have a number o' difficult
and knotty cases to .nachgu. and
shall catch people s notice by my
eloquence, rny seal, my learning,
my acuteness, and gain a reputa
tion.’
“And then?”
“Why, then, theta can’t be any
question, I shall he promoted to
some high office or other; besides,
1 shall make money and grow rich.’
“And then?” was utmiu the
query.
“And then?” pursued the young
lawyer, “then I shall li»e comfort
ably and honorably in wealth and
dignity, and shall be able to look
feeward quietly tc a happy *;d
age.”
“And then?” asked the good
man.
“And then?” said the youth, “and
then—and then—1 shall die.”
Here the good man again lifted
up his voice, and again said, “And
then?” Whereupon the young man
made no answer, but cast do vn his
head and went away This last
“And then?” had pierced like a
flash of lighting into his soul, and
he could not get rid of it. lie soon
ceased to aspire after rank and
wealth, and was concerned through
the remainder of his fife above all
other things to fulfill the object of
his creation and promote the cause
of God.

Ours is a beautiful system. Com
ing down to the office we meet an
old, blind wroman begging on the
streets for money enough to sup
port her children. The state, which
refuses to feed these children will
bo entitled to their lives when they
have grown. If they were mules
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals would protect
them from hunger and abuse. This
system protects other animals but
not children. It is a better system
for mules than humans. It was
made by idlers for idlers
Where a parasite works there is
likely to be a scab developed.
Exclusive society is not and can
not be society. Society must in

That Socialism is the dawn of a
now day is proved by the millions
who hail it as the new age.
That capitalism has already had
its day is proved by the blackness
of darkness it has brought on the
world.
The-, capital which has been used
as a moans of exploiting the work
ers was stolen from the workers.
All dividends therefore are mere
thefts.
The workers should not be divid
ed over words, whether those words
be religious or political. They
should be united in action ,,s they
are united in material interest, and
oppose no one but the man v. ho is
robbing them.
