AN FRESHMAN AND A JEW.
A Business Partnership That Has Been F

A Business Partnership That Has Been En-
tireiy Satisfactory.
There is an up town business firm
one of the members of which is an Irish
man and the other Jew. The Irish
man was born in Cork and the jew in
Cracow. They have been in partnership
for several years, during which they
have built up fiourishing business.
The Irishman is bcardless; the Jew has
a flowing black beard. The Irishman is
of the type of Rory O'Moore; the Jew
is Of the type of Moses.
They are mutual admiration pair,
and each has a solid respect for the
other. The Irishman is rare wit; the
Jew is solemn as the Talmud. The Irish
man has fine Corkonian brogue; the
native speech of the Jew is the Polish
iargon, which he mikes with his Eng
lish.
The Irishman looks after the firm S
finances; the jew attends to the buying
and selling. The Irishman is strict
Catholic and goes to church OH Sun
day; the jew is vigorously orthodox
and goes to synagogue on Saturday.
The Irishman is ''pudgy;" the jew is
lean. They agreed never to talk upon
religion, about which they disagree;
but, as the one is bimetallic Democrat
and the other Democratic monometaI-
list, they eau always find subject for
friendly argument.
The Irishman is older than the Jew,
but tho Jew is taller than the Irishman
Both the Irishman and the Jew have
large families, and the children of both
attend the same school Most of the off
| spring of the Irishman arc girls, and
| most Of those of the jew are boys.
The favorite tipple Of the Irishman is
ale, and that of the Jew is wine. The
freshman is quick tempered; the Jew is
slow to wrath. These two business part.

| other from Cracow, have carried Oh

noticed that he has seemed to grow young
again and to have recovered the health which
he had in youth.

A Wcman's Bible.

There is to be something new un-
der the sun after all. 1t is woman's
Bible. According to the statements
of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who is
said to be the '.'father" of the move
ment, the progress of female suffrage
has been seriously hindered by the
presence in our homes of Bible which
was translated and interpreted by men
only; and it has been determined to
offset this influence by publishing a
book in which all the passages that
relate. to women shall be given with
fitting" commentary by women only.
The first five books of the Old Testa-
ment have been already prepared and
the daily papers are printing extracts
from them. From these extracts it
would seem that our sisters have en-
tered upon their work with commend
able zeal and red-hot sense Of re-
sponsibility. In the account Of the fall
the reader is asked to be appropriately
impressed with the ambition Of the
first woman for knowledge, and Adam
whose abysmal dullness made it use
less for Satan to tempt him with in
tellectual inducements, is made the
sinner in the case. This interpreta-
tion of course requires that the un-
complimentary things which the Lord
said to Eve should be somewhat soft
ened and the sixteenth verse of the
third chapter of Genesis is therefore
declared to be a 6gment of man s brain.
ct is gratifying to know that man is
allowed brain of sufficient power to
invent such fgment.) Seeing what
these long-suffering sisters have done
for Adam, it is hardly to be expected
that they will leave so much as a
microbe meal of poor Paul-if their
nails are not worn to the quick before
they can reach im.-Ric1mona Ad-

The cavalry would break and scamper

But we got there just in time.
Certainly half dozen charges had
been made at the back of the retreat

charging squadrons had been driven
back. when the enemy sent his line
with rush at the brigade of Tarheels,
and one squadron overlapped the in
fantry line and was just passing 1t as
we got up. In another minute they'd
have been behind the line, sabring
the men from the rear, while they
were held by the fight in front. But
we struck headlong strain and went
through the Yankees by the flank Of
North Carolina and carried their ad-
versaries back in a whirl, back to the
crest of the hill, back through the
guns of their battery, clear back to
their infantry lines. In moment
they rallied and were charging us in
front and on both hanks, and back ne
went in a hurry. But old North
Carolina was safe. They had got back
to the rest of the infantry and formed
line at right angles to the pike west OF
Winchester.
I rode up to Bob johnson very

and said L: "Pretty close call that,
Mr.. Johnston. What do you think
now of the Yankee cavalry's fighting
qualities ?" and the rest Of that day
we enjoyed ourselves. We could see

minded, lovely wife, the habit appear
ed to him in a different light, and he
made spasmodic efforts to conquer it.
But not until a few months ago did he
become victor when the glowing evil
was set before him, by little incident,
in its real and shocking sinfulness.
One Sunday morning standing be-
fore the mirror shaving, the razor
slipped, inficting slight wound.
True to his fixed habit he calculated
the single word Good p and was not
a little amazed and chargrinned to see
reflected in the mirror the pretty pic

ter, as laying her dolly down she
sprang from her seat on the floor ex-

Pale and ashamed, and at loss for

heard you speak to him.
Then noticing the sober look on his
face and the tears of shame in his eyes
as he gazcd down into the innocent
radiant face, she patted him lovingly
on the hand, cxclaiming assuringly,
"Call him again, papa, l dess he surely

The still, small voice was heard at last.
Catching the wondering child up in
his arms he knelt down, and for the

forgiveness for past offenses and guild

him in feryent spirit that he had not

some of his awful blasphemies. Sure
