Newspapers a Great Benefit.

Speaking of what a newspaper
does for its community, the late
United States Senator Davis, of
Illinois, made an address in which
he said: each year every local
paper gives from $500 to $1,000 in
free lines for the benefits of the
community in which it is located.
No other agency eau or will do
this. The editor in proportion to
his means does more for his town
than any other man, and with all
fairness, man with man, he ought
to he supported not because you
like. or admire his writings, but
because a local newspaper is the
best investment a community can
make. Today the local editors
are doing more work for less pay
than any other men on earth,
Patronize your local paper not as
an act of charity but as an invest.

How ffe Worked the ArtIst.

This account of how an intimate friend of the great artist Kyosai ob- taIned one of the painters drawings is from Mrs. Hugh Frazer's Letters From Japan:' --=-
 Kyosai always refused if asked out right for sketch. So his friend be- gan the negotiation by offering the art ist an excellent dinner. When Kyosai had drunk deeply and seemed in a mellow humer his host called for drawing materials, saying that he felt m artistic fancy taking possession of him. No one was surprised. as Japa- nese gentlemen often amuse them selves In this way after a feast. The servant then brought an enormous sheet of white paper and spread it on the floor with the brushes and Indian ink beside it. The crafty host, with out looking at his guest. sank on his knees and began to draw, apparently absorbed in his occupation, but inten- tionally producing weak and fncoher- ent lines Kyosai watched the feeble effort in. silence and growing irritation, and at last jumped up, dashed the tyro aside and tore the brush out of his hand, excIaiming: "Out of the way. you wretched bungler! will teach you how to drawn And the result was . priceless sketch, which remain ed in the possession of the willy enter tatner.
