THE NEwsPAPbR.-De Tocqueyille, in
his work on America, gives this forcible
sketch:
"a newspaper can drop the same thought
into thousand minds at the same mo-
ment. A newspaper is an adviser who
does not require to be sought, but comes
10 you briefly every day of common veal
without distracting your private affairs.
Newspapers, therefore, become more ne
cessary in proportion as men become more
equal, individual and more to be feared.
To suppose that they only served to pro-
tecl freedom would be to diminish their
importance they maintain civilization.

The citizens Of East Waterloo. To,

The citizens of East Waterloo, Iowa,
have lately been surprised by the startling
development that 80 acres of land upon
which the larger and most important part
of their town is now built has been Occu-
pied without legal title, and that the occu.
pants are now at the mercy Of one man.
1t seems that q soldier in the War of 1912
by the name of Carr. now living in Wis
cOnsin, entered this 50 acre tract and re.
ceived his patent for the same from Wash.
ington. Several years since, Mr.. Carr,
then living in Pennsylvania, assigned this
land over to Judge Pratt (afterward citi
zen of Waterloo, but now deceased), with
out giving deed to Judge Pratt for the
land. On the strength of this assignment,
which was not legal, the land was divided
up into town lots and sold. MIR. G. ID.
Gray, citizen of East Waterloo, ascertain.
ing that proper papers had never been
given, applied to Mr.. Carr and procured a
deed. The citizens are indignant over it,
and intend contesting Mr.. Gray's title to
the land Mr.. Gray is, however, quite con-
fident of having the inside track.

THE following admirable anecdote is

The following admirable anecdote is
from Breslau, and is of recent date. Not
long since an elderly man with bare head
stood in an eating house, surrounded by
crowd of people. The landlord held the
mans hat and cane in his hand, and an inn
pudent waiter stood between the guest and
the door, The confusion of the old man
was indescribable He seemed to be for the
first time in his life in such scrape-said
nothing, looked down on the ground, and
with difficulty restrained his tears. While
all around Knocked and jeered him. Just
then a poorly dressed Jew, with a long
white beard, entered, and inquired what it
all meant, and with an expression Ofalmost
feminine curiosity. He was told that the
man had eaten and drunk, and now that he
must pay he searched his pockets in vain
for money. "Well," exclaimed the Jew,
al see the old man for the first time, but
III be bound he did not come here to cheat.
And landlord suppose he had no money to
forget, couldn't you for once give poor
man something to eat, for Gods sakeg-
How much does he owe, anyhow" The
debt was eight silver groschen, and the Jew
paying this, took the poor old man by the
hand and led him to the door. Those pres
ent did not seem to enjoy the reproof which
their brutality had received, and one Inso-
lent fellow cried out: Hey jew, what
have YOU done this is the Sabbath, and
you have touched money - This is forbid
den to the Israelites "You are right,
answered the Jew. Just now | forgot
that was a Jew, just as you forgot that
you were Christians. But you may rest
easy on my account, understand my com
mandment which says, Honor the Sab.
bath-day and keep it holy Just get some
schoolmaster to explain it to you, and if he
is reasonable mon he will agree with me-
Good deeds have no Sabbath" And with
these words the good man left the room.

Some time ago, person, whose friends
reside at Syracuse, received an injury, or
none at all, on western railroad. He re-
turned home, and was advised to play
terribly hurt and then demand heavy
damages. The thing was arranged-the
friend to engineer the affair for one-fourth
OF the proceeds. A pliable physician was
employed. The injured individual was
terribly hurt :; the doctor went regularly
to see him. When the doctor CAME sicky'
was sure to be in bed, growing no better
very fast but as soon as the -physic had
gone, 'sicky' was up and around all right
A lawyer had been employed to conduct
the case, and for his pay was to receive
another fourth of the proceeds. Doctor
and 'sicky played we'll; lawyer made de-
mand railroad came down 900. Lawyer
pocketed $3.50, 'sicky's' friend another
$3.50, and sticky no longer put 81 300 in
his trowsers and left without settling
with physIc. The doctor hadn't been used
well-had been offered usual fees, but
wanted, under circumstances, to realize a
cool two hundred, for which he brought
suit against sicky's' next friend, as a
partner In the game The evidence in
the suit showed in substance the above
facts, whereupon the justice gave judg-
ment for $50 for the doctor.

National Asylum for Disabled
Soldiers.

The Board of Managers of the National
ASYLUM for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers
give notice that they are now prepared to
receive bcneficiaries into either branch,
near Augusta, Maine, Milwaukee, Wis,
or at the central asylum, near Columbus,
Ohio. Volunteer soldiers are admitted
upon application, by letter TO either of the
managers, whercupon blank application
will be sent to the applicant, and, if duly
qualified, transportation will be furnished
him. The requirements are: First, an
honorable discharge from the volunteer
service; second, disability by wounds re-
ceived or sickness contracted in the line
of duty. If the applicant is unable to
travel, or for other sufficient cause, relief
will be furnished under the direction of
the manager to whom the application Is
made. Overseers of all aims houses and
charity hospitals having disabled soldiers
subsisting upon private beneficence, are
respectfully urged TO report such
such cases to either of managers,
as it is not fit that meritorious disabled
soldiers of the nation should have to be
supported by private or public charity.
| Soldiers are especially informed that the
asylums are neither hospitals nor aims
houses, but homes, where subsistence, care,
educatlOn, reIigtOuS INSTRUCTION., anu eln-
ployment are provided for disabled soldiers
by the Congress of the United States, to
be paid from the forfeiturcs and fines of
deserters from the army. The provision
is not charity-it is contribution by
bounty jumpers and bad soldiers to the
brave and deserving, and is their right.
Soldiers having wife, child, or parent
dependent upon them are not required to
give up their pensions upon coming to the
asylum. Other soldiers are required to
assign their pensions to the asylum in spe-
cial cases only, to be determined by the
Board. Suitable compensation will be
given for profitable labor in the asylum
Good behavior will insure the kindesi
treatment. Wives and children will moi
be cared for at the asylum until after the sol
der has shown by his ability to aid him
self and them in part by labor and steadi
ness, that in taking his family in charge
he will not increase his expenses to the
asylum above the cost of other helpless
benefciaries in which case provisions will
hereafter be made.
