Democratic Sentinel, Volume 7, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 September 1883 — A Terrible Sameness. [ARTICLE]

A Terrible Sameness.

A young student of the law was devotedly, although perhaps not as intelligently, poring over Blackstone, and at the close of each day’s labor he would carefully insert a bookmark at the page he had last finished. His fellow students as regularly each day removed the marker, placing it at about the point where he had begun. It was only after the young student had completed his fourteenth reading of the same pages that some one ventured to inquire how he liked Blackstone. “I can’t exactly say that I liked it,” replied he; “there is such a terrible sameness to it.” Lokdon contains 100,000 Jews and the finest Hebrew library in the world.
