VOLUME 1.
SUCH is NEWSPAPER LIFE.

Journsying along between the wick
ed city of st. Louis and the noiseless
ungodly town of Chicago, the other
day, . conversation between two
Delf-supposed politicians poured itself
into our right, or mAyhap wrong, ear
Quoth one of these gentlemen in tho
course of o running ire Of criticism
of third party, present neither in
person nor by proxy: "Oh, he's only
d-n newspaper man." Imperson-
ally personal though the rem ark was.
q line of thought sprang up in our
mind.
Who is it that does - mu FOR t! 9
good of. .a community and leaves un-
done much more for the same reason!
Who is it that must do for others,
and be "done for" himselfs
Who is il that makes great men oui
. of common clay?
WIZ is it that knows the pitiful
weakness, the. contcmP tible pettinesS.
the wearying selfishness, the pucrile
passions, of friend and foe, just as he
is known himself, and guards it all as
he does his honor?
Who is that sees human nature i'll
aIl its liit!eness and meanncsS, and yet
stands with al his might aud siren
9Th keeping loyal faith with il?
Who is it that must be fair and hon
orabIc when others are unfair and
dishonorable?
Who is il to whom the politician
turns when the fight is hot aud his
party cold?
Who 10 it that must be q patient
pack-horse for the faults OF some and
O bind ass to those of Others2
Who is that must take the dead
man to the door Of heaven, When he
knows if he is getting his deserts he
10 roasting in the other place? Who
10 it that must make saints out Of
siuners?
Who 10 it that could blast ihous
and fair names. and yet Injuries none
60 much as his own?
Who 10 that must serve friends and
acquaintance alike, aud yet give no
sign when he sees that service passed
over unrecognized by even so poor q
reward as thanks?
Who is it that must smile, when he
could swear, at the cruel knife-thruSt
of treachery and base BETRAYAL?
Who 10 it that must be far-seeing,
yet open; calculating, yet frank; have
the courage of his convictions, yet bt
open to conviction?
Who is it that works his 6eld faith

ATTEMPTED MURDER BUT
FAILED.

John Sheperd today at the Central
Hotel tried to murder one of its
bOardcrs by feeding him more edi-
blcS for 25 cents than he had been
used to, and it came near proving IA
tai, but with close attention from the
waiter and delicate deserts they
brought him around all o. X. and
just for spite he came back that night
bringing four others with him,
aud told John to try his hand on
them. Now, we will close by
saying if you want good platable
food and nice clean beds,
and when we say clean beds,
we mean it, come and see for your
self. In advance of your stay you
will fiud the familiar face of John
SheI erd at the front as usual smiling
and ever ready to cater to your
wants. You all know him, come to
the Central and see the wonder of its
present management.
