THE YlDDlSH DIALECT.

Yiddish will defy the definition OF
the smartest photographer, for not
any one of these could state in a few
words what constitutes the dialect
which is nevertheless perfectly clear
to every Jew 1t eyades definition be
cause of its mixed nature, and because
IL is a different thing according to the
latitude and longitude it inhabits. The
Yiddish of Poland and Germany is very
different from thateof the east end of
London, though the latter is based in
very large measure on the former.
In other words, it is infuenced'by its
environments, as an expression of
which the evolutionists are SO fond.
The basis of Hebrew words, with their
ancient incrustatioas of who knows
what which have clung to them in their
wanderings through all times and
through the centuries, still goes on
gathering new influences day by day
as it needs them, and SO Yiddish is,
like all other languages, an ever shift
ing element, only perhaps more SO.
but ali this we have known for long
time.
1t is perhaps not so generally known,
however, that this same Yiddish in its
turn exercises considerable influence
over its neighbors and flowers the Ian
guage of the Gentiles among whom 1t
dwells by many a telling and signif-
cant word and phrase. In how far II
has enriched the German language
and especially the dialect of the city
of Frankfort, has just been set forth in
an interesting article on The Dialect
of Frankfort by DIR. A. Zimmerman
In such paper, in order that il
should be complete, Yiddish must OF
necessity find place, for in no Other
German town have the Jews played ;
more important part than in Frankfort

III all happened ON South Side ave

The shades of night were getting lii
their work, and the peace OF righteous
community was altering through the
atmosphere Brown and Jones were en-
joying their last cigars and eonversing
ON stocks. There is nothing frivolous or
flighty about Brown or Jones.
Suddenly there came swish Of
feminine skirts, shurry Of . bicycle,
and through the darkened cir shrill
wall faltered, "oh. won't you please
help me?' Then q bicycle at full tilt
sped across the street crossing, and
Brown and Jones stared at each other
aghast
'O-o-ohr' half cried the voice Of the
disappearing rider.
What In thunder does she want help

She wasn't tipping overt cried
Brown

With one wild gush OF alarm two cigars
were flung to destruction, and two repu-

avenue. Never since their college days
have Jones and, Brown made running
record like the one credited TO that
nights performance, with movable
goal for an object. One block, . blocks.
M, and the fleeing wheel with its sob
bing rider came into view.
With an extraordinary squirt, Brown
and Jones caught up grabbed the han
die bars and stopped the wild progress
Of the modern Flying Dutchman.

gasped Brown, who was stout and nm
pleasantly conscious OF something ridic-
ulous in the whole proceeding.

turn around, and can't mount, and I
can't stop my wheel, and was getting

Jones coughed. In her excitement
the distressed lady was reposing against
his shirt front It was q fresh shirt
front, and her act disturbed him.
Shall we get you started for homer
qneried Brown, who always had pres
ence Of mind.
oh, Ii you wouldp' said the dis
tressed lady, and then the two reputable
citizens put her ON her wheel, turned it
around, pushed her half q block and
saw her disappear in the darkness, leav-
ing trail of inarticulate gasps, thanks,
protests and ordinations in her wake.
Stiffness fell over Lake avenue.
Brown and Jones stuffed their handker-
chiefs into their collars and looked at
each other meditatively. Suddenly
Brown went into commissions. He
grabbed Jones' arm.
How, he suffered, 'show, say, is
that fool woman going to stop when she
does get home?''
Then they sat down ON the curbstone
70 recover and incidentally to calculate
whether the woman who hadn't learned
how to make the wheels stop going
round would eventually reach the north
pole or be drowned in Lake Superior.
