poor as have the rich jews, headed always
by those princely givers, the Rotbschilds.
In this country the same rule obtains and

Sinai, for not only is it conducted on proper
and business-like principles. but nobody
says, What is your reliEoni Where is a

sick they take you in and comfort you ;
soothe your wounds with the oil of human
kindness, and when you 20 away give you
the penny to start with, that you may not
be out in the world absolutely helpless.
THE JEW AS HE Is.
don't like to think that my people-and
when l say my people, mean the people in
California, in Texas, in Maine and in all
the bet ween places-are little enough to be
sectarian. l think, indeed, am sure, that
it was the intelligence and good breeding Of
the Jews that made the people of South
Carolina the aristocrats that they are; |
know it was Jew who planned the city Of
| Baltimore, and | know that in Maryland
to-day there are Jewish families Of great
intelligence, of great liberality, who, while
thoroughly orthodox, are full of that
charity which we Christians are prone to
fiatter ourselves we alone possess. " But"
you say, there are coarse, common, vulgar
Jews" Granted. my friend. But in any
| country in the world. which predominatesi
The intellectual, gentle class, or the mob!
No Jew ever equaled German in his bru>
tality, an lrishman in his wickedness, an
Englishmau in his roughness or an Ameri-
can in his toughness. Add | think 1t speaks
badly for our universities aud our common
schools that as a people we fail to see that
no one sect can be judged by its prodlgal
sons. No Jew WAS over closer In his tinau-
cial dealings than is the down-east yankee,
and yet that they save and do not force
their people on the charity Of the community
is one of the numerous charges brought
against them. The make money and they
spend it literally; that they spend it on
their wives and children instead Of on all the
stray men TO be met in a barroom is
greatly to their credit. They make the best
and most considerable husbands in the world,
and if the English woman who prayed that
in heaven she might have an American
husband had been wise, she would have
added that she preferred an American Jew.

down to have a talk with me, if didn't say
just what thought from my heart, and
not what | thought was Diplomatic and
would please you. In the good time that is
coming you and and everybody else will
ask of no man what his belief is, but we
will look at his life aud decide by it,whether
his belief is worth admiration. Somebody
laughs about my taking up the questions of
the day, and says why don't talk about
the follies and describe them so that they
become attractive. If YOU remember far
back in history you will call to mind the
story OF the FOOLS sermon, and il may make
you remember that cap and bells some
times cover head IN which there is little
more than mere folly.
FoLLIEs OF THE DAY.
Though folly is q good thing. It's the
laughter of life. It makes one grow fat and
keeps one on good terms with ones fellow
men. But too much folly is like too much
of any good thlng-it pals on the appetite.
What Is your favorite follyl You are
learned and wise, and you think you haven't
got any, but you have, so be wise enough
TO tell it.
knew 1t before you said it. Having
hair the color Of the ace OF spades and eyes
to match, your fnvorite folly is blonde
sweetheart.
knew it before you said 1t. Being i'm
maculately dressed, and having gold
horseshoe Hanging from your watch chain
and diamond one IN your scarf, it'S a race
horse.
knew IL before you said 1t. Having on
light fiannels and being belted in tight at
the waist, with a yachting cap on, it's the
sea.
Iknewit before you said 1t. Having on
ill-ftting, rough cheviot clotheE, but an i'm
maculate hat and dsinclinatIon to taste
fancy drinks, it's the London Times.
knew it before you said it, Having the
wild air of a reformer with the suggestion of
a belief in the sinfulness OF the corset. It's
q girl whose waist measures eighteen inches
and who convinces you she doesn't lace.
knew it before you said it. You look
on every baby carriage going by with the
eye of oonnoisseur, you stare az the small
belongings in a shop window; it's pink bit
of humanity done up in cambria and
flannel.
knew it before yon said it. We have
every one got a dear, delightful little folly
of our own which we hug up close and make
much of. 1t is all right as long as it is a
folly-just folly. 1t may be rose or a
woman. 1t may be baby Of a small dog.
1t may be belief or book. But it is our
very own. And it is very nice for the
follies.
What was that you saidl Why, certainly.
| Somebody's folly is Bah.
