All the boys and girls who have been
spending the fall months at colleges,
seminaries and state normal schools are
with us again and will remain over the
holidays. 1t is strange how wonderfully
some of them are transformed by few
weeks stay in Philadelphia and some
other cities away from home. Not six
months ago l saw certain young man
dressed in blue drillings and seated upon
wagon loaded with merchandise. He
seemed perfectly at home and spoke to
the horse he drove in tone that denoted
experience in the store hustling business.
Ga Christmas Eve / met the same young
man on Main street and hardly knew
him. Instead of the blue drillings, he
wore one of the latest style Mother
Hubbard overcoats and the weight of the
cane he carried in his hand caused him to
lean forward so much that his spinal
column seemed to be giving way under
the strain. Mercy on me !" exclaimed a
kind-hearted old lady who saw the young
man, "why doesn't he throw that heavy
stick away? 1t will kill him yet"

out the heather and to restore the Holy

with the lighting of additional lamps,
singing of hymns and psalmod7 and in
other joyous ways. Hence in synagogues,

Committee, and I'm going to tell all
about how | was robbed, neeced, bun

with membership including some of the
most prominent TGmmany politicians

go around, have been talked about for II
year or more by few who were familiar
with the circumstances.
There has existed a diversity of
opinion among these as to whether Mr..
Kahn would swallow his dose like II
little man, or. when the opportunity ar
rived, would get back hard" There
were those who said Kahn thought too
much of Hugh Grant and other Tam
, many friends to make any trouble over
the loss OF paltry $4,000.
Mr. Kahn settled the question to-day
by telling Lawyer William Sutherland, OF
counsel for the Lexow Committee. all
about his losses, and asking to be put on
the witness-stand as soon AS Mr.. Con
sees fit.

Kahn to-day, before / tell the story to

that It's a corker. and will implicate
some men who now hold high office In
this town.

calls. continued Kahn. "These people

the back, and say Amt Kahn good

dollar and then look over his shoulder

Mr.. Kahn fairly grind his teeth.
