for caring for the needy poor. This has
never been done. As to one of them
Hermann Hunderdossa. an aged and ln-
firm man livlng with Mr.. Waldroff, it is
only fair to state that the one cared for
can do no work, that the price ($l5 per
montD is not excessive, anil that we have
heard of no one who would take him for
less. But the conditions surrounding the
kseping OF Henry Livingston are entirely
different. Mr.. Livingston IS an old SOL
dier who few yesrs ago was partially
disabled by freezing his feet. At that
time he had considerable property in the
shape Of cattle. What became OF the
property the Record IS unable TO state.
and we have never heard that Commits
sioner Campbell made any inquiry as TO
what became OF the property, at the time
the old soldier was placed on the poor
list. Without asking for bids, as by law
commanded, the board gave him In
charge of Mr.. s. A. Hawks, and, he has
drawn $l5 month for him ever since,
although, as the Record has been IN
formed by dozens of reliable citizens,
Mr.. Livingston works for Mr.. Hlwks
right along. end rrally does more work
Than would pay for his keep. To add in
suit to injury. at the last meeting of the
board that body unceremoniously rejected
proposition TO take Mr.. Livingston al a
less rate per month, saying that they
would see about getting HIM into the
state soldiers home, which might have
been done when that institution was
opened, some time ago. Then the poor
old man who, when his eyes were brigh,
and his step firm, went forth to battle
with his country's enemies, could live
without hard work ami without being an
object of charity, as the soldiers homes
are the heart offerings Of a grateful peo
