The Journalist.

The journalist knows all the news.
Therefore be is said to have a nose
for news.
He is man of parts-part mod
esty and part truthiulness. He has
great regard for the truth, and ap-
proaches it only with dinidcnce and
awe.
His modcsty is so great that when
he secures an exclusive article of
news he never brags ahout-uutil
after il is in print.
The prime article in the journal
lists creed is that it is not right TO get
left; and many prime article he gets
in consequence.
The journalist is p reflector Of the
times, but has but little time for re-
llcction, nevertheless.
The life Of the journalist is one
continual round OF pleasure, It Is
made up of thoatge-goiu banquet
ing aud walking about the streets.
Any fool can become a journalist,
but ii is not becominga Journalist to
be a fool.
Everybody pays court TO the jour
nalist everybody who wants to get
his name in the paper. And that is
all most bodies feel called upon to
pay.
He is not called upon 10 have
ideas. Everybody Is willing to sup
ply him with all he needs and more.
The journalist docs not have to
work very hard. He Is scarcely eyer
busy more than twenty-six hours out
of twenty-four The rest Of the time
he can give to sleep or TO work.
There is said to he honor among
thieves; but the journalist is not a
thief. The journalist is alway ready
and willing to help his follow, when
he cannot get ahead of him.
He never tells a talsehood, though
he will lie all day for a bit of news.
When he sees a wrong, he writes
it at once.
The journalist is The man Of the
agc-mucilage.
The journalist handles the Archi-
medean lever that moves the world.
Archimedcs had no foundation 70 rest
his lever upon, and much that the
journalist writes has the same airy
basis.
Its mistake, however, to suppose
the. the journalist makes the news.
The ncws makes hm.
The brightest journalists, it is said,
are graduates Of the case; but this is
denied by those who never worked

a young man named Chas. Smith,
a Painter by trade, struck this town
about six weeks ago, and obtained
job Of work from Mr.. John l.. Driver,
who at once took him into bis house,
boarded and lodged him, and treated
him the same as if he had been
member of his family. GoOd-ioas.
ing and of pleasing address, he .oou
won the confidence and respect OF
all with whom he came in contact
\ few days since, he cmfded to an
other young man Of the town, for
whom he had profcsscd great friend
ship, his intention to rob his friend
and be leiactor, Mr.. John l.. Driver,
and earnestly urged his new made
friend to join him in the act, stating,
that while at work for Mr.. Driver,
he had discovered that hp always
kept large sum of money about
the house; that he knew exactly
where it was kept, and that it would
be an easy matter TO get it, etc. Sat
islied that the young man was in
earnest, this information, with the
plan of operation, was communicated
to Mr.. Driver, who at once consulted
with Sheriff IIaskins. Plans were
readily suggested by which Charles
Smith could easily have been caught
if he undertook to carry out his pro-
posed Intentions; but adverse coun-
sci prevailed, and he was notified to
Leave the town, which he did, and
stood not upon the order Of going,
but got. Perhaps in the interest Of
philanthropy, this was the proper
course to pursue; justice would have
dictated otherwise.
1t sometimes happen, from the
very nature of our surroundings, and
the fact that we have no one regu-
larly employed to collect items for
us, that we do not hear or see every
thing that transpircs in the commu-
nifty, and for this reason, our friends
may at times feel that they are being
sighted, because we fail to make
mention of them in our local or per
sonal column. We therefore request
that whenever anything unusual oc-
ours arrival of friends, departures,
Improvements, removals, or anything
of interest in or out of town, that the
facts be sent us, either by note, pos
tai card, or verbally, Such Items
will be accepted as personal fayoss,
and published with pleasure.

say, this does not fully represent
the wealth OF the metropolis, as real
estate is returned at only GOPrr cent
Of its real value, while personal pro-
rerty largely escapes altogether.
Many miAHnaires, the Tribune says,
pay no taxes, while exempted church
property is valued at $55,0OO,oOO,
school and library property at s5o,-
100000, and the United States owns
ISlj,UO0,OOO in real estate. So great
is the difficulty in reaching personal
property and making taxes equal ON
that elias Of wealth, that a PROPOSE
tion is seriously agitated TO tax rcal
estate at its lull value and abolish
all taxes on personal property.

Inrers0lI,s Position Sound.

In his recent lecture in New York
city Bob Burdette, the Burlington
(Iowal journalist, made a sensation by
his illusions to Bob Ingersoll. The
latters success, Burdette thought, was
owing to his overwhelming humor,
which made his audience laugh at their
own dearest creeds. "And / believe,"
continued Mr.. Burdette, seriously,
while his audience was hushed-"I be-
lieve Colonel Ingersolrs position is
sound" There was a moments hesi-
tation, and all the tittering stopped Il
know" continued the speaker, sit
isn't the thing to say in this hall and to
this audience but have said it, and
won't go back on anything have said" Z"
It appeared for a moment that Mr..
Burdette's candor had got the better OF
his discretion. He continued "But
that is the trouble with Ingersoll, it is
all sound, like a bass drum, and no
sense" Then a good orthodox roar
went up, and everybody felt relieved.

what Is Lire

Eyes opening to the light, feeble cry;
A few short years, some joys, more tears
Eyesclosing into night; quivering Sigh;
And this is life.
Hands toiiing, ne'er at rest, but more and
more
Eager for gain; of tired in vain:
Hands folded on the breast, the battle Ger;
And this is life
Heart beating warm with love, spirit brave;
A dauntless breaHt, where weak may rest
Hears-eilent ne'er to move; quiet grave;
And this is life.
promise Of rich harvests, sowing done;
Bright hopes and trusts: but "Dust to dust
Is murmured sadly e'er the setting sun
And this is life.
A dawning fair and bright toil-flled day,
Some passing showers that bring forth flowers
At even-tide lieht-a heavenly ray;
And this is life.

Sad Career of BarOn's Daughter.

The recent death of Nine. Laura
Sweitzer, at Port Jervis, N. Y, recalls
one of the saddest and most remark
able careers ever recorded. The story
of her life, as told by Nine. Sweitzer,
reads like romance and seems almost
too strange to be true. Laura Won
Fufnitz Steinburg, daughter of Baron
Frederick Otto Won Puffnitz Stein
burg, was born at Wismar, in Mecklen-
burg, Germany, on the 10th of Octo-
Der, 1919. Her father was of an ancient
and highly.honored family, and Laura
was younger daughter. She was
given all the advantages of an expensive
education in music and the German
language.
At sixteen years of age she met
very poor young nobleman with a very
long and honorable name, the Count
Frederick Kolstedt Schleswick Sweit-
zer. The young man was handsome
and pretty well educated, but his pow
erty was a bar to their union. Laura
felt that she loved him so deeply that
she could marry no one but him. Her
old father would not listen to her en-
treaties, and finally he sent her to
Altoona, town near Hamburg, on the
Elbe river, where he placed her in q
convent until she became cured of her
passion. She contrived to let her lover
know where she was, and thither he
| followed her. Having no money he
applied for and obtained a position 8
under gardener in the convent at 6
modest compensation. He and

meet daily, and affairs were
going on swimmingly when the old
Baron Steinburg, having found that
Sweitzer had left Wismar, suspected
the true state of affairs, and came
posthaste to Altoona. He arrived in
time to catch his daughter in an arbol
in the convent garden conversing with
the forbidden lover. The ole baron
and the young man exchanged hare
words, and duel, in which the baroI
was severely wounded, resulted
Young Sweitzer and his sweetheart fec

Broken Strings.

There is no minstrel ripe in years,
But, as his song he sings,
Feels musingly across his harp
To ind some broken strings.
The early songs that from his Tyre
His youthful fingers flung,
Have lost their first Promethean fire
Since love and life were young.
The world may listen to the strains
Which from each harp-string float
But still unto his ear remains
A discord in the note.
And still his heart, unsatisied,
Seeks, yesrningly, in vain,
To find the music which has died
And mend the broken strain.
Oh. world that listens, when too late,
Unto the voice which sings,
And loves the music, when the years
Have shattered many strings,
But little owes the bard to you
For praises from your tongue,
Who heard not when the harp was new,
And love and life we're young.
