turned out, some eighty Americans held in Bar
barry bondage; it took $780, 900. 1t was before the
days OF telegraphs and steamboats,. Noah couldn't
communicate with his country, he solved the
puzzle by paying the $40, 900 the government had
given him and $40, 900 more out of his own pocket.
This liberated all Of the eighty enslaved Americans.
In later years this Mordecai Noah was high
sheriff of New York. The cholera came ashore.
Everybody with legs and notlockedup, fled the city.
Noah had Jail full of prisoners for debt. Noah
didn't know what to do if he kept them locked up
the cholera likely to kill them off to the last
chicken the roost. Their creditors would not let
them free no one would go their bail what was
Sheriff Noahs course to be? After thinking it
profoundly, Noah signed the bail bond ofa his debtor
prisoners himself and turned those cholera threat
ened insovents loose They came back and Noah
had to pay their debts The gross over $780,
900, and it bankrupted the benevolent Noah the
tom Dunn of that time
In 1872 and before Noah was ardent for a war
with England. The merchants Of Charleston
against it they would sooner see the country out
ragged than lose dollar. Noah was brought from
New York to Charleston to edit strong war paper.
The price merchants aforesaid took oath
get rid of Noah In three weeks he received three
challenges to fight duels. Noah fought, came out
with honor, wounded one missed two and stood
unscathed himself
But the first three duels not vicious; they
not meant to kill, only to scare. 1t sup
posed Noah would leave town, But he stayed and
wrote hot editorials every day, and the peace
party made up their minds to kill him off They put
forward thug with good clothes and pedigree to
do the killing. His name Cantor; he had killed
two at ten PAGES, and he made doubt of kill
ing " that redheaded Jew as he called Noah.
Noah went out with Cantor to the Charleston
course. Noah knew it was business that trip,
and he killed Cantor the first fire. Then the peace
any price gang let him alone.
If the above instances don't shed sufficient light
the Jew question: take the case of old commodore
Levy, who owned Monticello before it passed into
the hands Of it's present owner, his nephew Jeff" M.
Levy.
Mind you, now, don't insist that Jeff Levy is
anything like the old commodore his uncle. I'm free

THE JEWISH SOUTH.

Later, in the war of 1872 Levy was a privateer
and won his fortune, cutlass in hand on the blood
slippery decks of the fighting English
Later still than that, Levy was commodore in
the American navy. He married. Admitting
Jefferson greatly he first loaned him money, and after
his death bought Monticello to preserve it.
In1861, an old and tottering man. Levy came to
President Lincoln in Washington. Union to the
core the Confederates had run him out Of Virginia
and confscated Monticello Levy worth over
million dollars He offered it all to Lincoln.
"I'm DID, weless," he said 6 cannot fight; but
I can give you every dollar have to aid in whipping
this rebellion
Lincoln thanked him and declined. The old commo-
dore died in 1863. On his tombstone is carved the
one great achievement of which he was very proud
it tells that he it was who was mainly instrumental
in abolishing fogging in the American navy
No. My anti Hebrac correspondent might better
look his ground The Jew isn't SO bad, don't
you know. He may be thick on Broadway and Wall
street, but he is very in Sing Sing and
Blackwell's Island. He has no paupers: he takes
care Of his orphans The drunken loafer insult
ing women the street isn't Jew; the murderous
hoodlum driving every passenger off the street car
isn't Jew; the "Rainnakers" who only day before
yesterday attacked and almost killed policeman
aren't Jews No, I'll tell you The Jew is fairly
good citizen He has been here long and is
good an American as Washington and you'll have
to admit his title to the flag.
To all the above, want to add wise bit born Of
my observation In the old day and the old
country, the Jew not only money maker but
money saver. He had to be; money was his only
sword and shield. But in the safety and liberty of
America new Jew has been bred. Already
have produced strain of Jews who can save money;
in half century more will breed Jews who can't
make money.

was he who was doing everything, and
when they met speculator who had
tickets to sell he pushed forward with
the remark:
Now you must let me buy the tick
ets"
The Young Man smiled, for it was
evident that he had succeeded COM
pletely. The millionaire had practically
forgotten all the unpleasant features
of the talk in his office and was buy
ing the tickets an if the idea of buy
ing them had just occurred to him as
an act of friendship.
At first Mr. Putancall felt trif1e out
of place and confused, but his young
friend was SO attentive in explaining
the points of the game and the entfu-
siasm of the crowd was so infectious
that he often forgot himself and cheer
ed with the loudest.
During the dinner there was but lit
tie conversation. Being true epicure
the Young Man ate in silence, and Mr..
PutancalPs mind was too much con-
fused with unaccustomed thoughts for
him to do any talking. But when they
had quaffed their cider and lit their
cigars the Young Man leaned back in
his chair and remarked:
Il trust you have enjoyed the day?'
Indeed I have This is the best
dinner have ever eaten
True. And it is one of the things
you have been working for all your life,
though you didn't know it."
The rich man said nothing for few
minutes. Then he frightened and ex-
claimed:
See here. have taken a great fancy
to you. and if you will let me, think
I can do something for you."
"Indeed?''
The record-union., 1898-11-20

the phone. 1t is always better to order
a dinner like this ahead" he observed
to Mr.. Putancall who. had put on his
street coat by this time.
Hello! 1t that you, Jean? Yes;
want you to get up a Thanksgiving dim
ner for two to be served in one of the
private rooms at sharp. No, SIR you
can't have carte blanche. I know just
what I want. Now take down what
tell you. First / want two orders of
clams-oysterS are a superstition he
remarked aside. "Got that? Them some
thing really good in clear soup. You
may decide on that yourself. Next we
want a Lake Ontario whitef1sh. What's
that? The close season for them, you
say? I know it is, but that shouldn't
trouble you. Oh, you think you know
where you can get one? All right and
this is the way you are to cook it: Dress
a two-pound fish and put it on the
range in a kettle of cold water. AS soon
as the water comes to boil take 1t Off,
and the fish will be done. Notice If
the flesh cracks open at the back Of the
neck, and you can tell if it is done ex-
actly right. Then you are to serve it
with egg sauce. Next we want roast
turkey-a turkey hen, remember, not
muscular gobbler-and you are to stuff
it with old fashioned country dressing
of onion and bread crumbs. Then we
want apples, nuts and such things. Be-
sides, you are to send down to that
little old liquor store on Chambers
street for a couple Of bottles of hard
cider-the special brand that the farm
ers put white wheat in and flavor with
sassafras. GoAlit down all right? And
be sure to have dinner ready to serve
at Z. o'clock. Goodby."
Now" exclaimed the Young Man,
1--WE must hurry if we want to be in
time for the football match
''Are you going there?" asked Mr..
Putancall, with mingled surprise and
Certainly we are. What would
Thanksgiving Day be without taking in
the football match? We just have time
to catch the next T. express if we
rush"
While they hurried along the street
and then raced up town on the express
the Young Mans tone changed grad
ually While still retaining his frank
ness and gayety he skillfully led Mr..
Putancall to talk of the matters with
which he was familiar until he regained
his self. possession and habitual air of
command When they reached the
Polo grounds, the financier was so COM

not troubling me, and I think I have
enough brains to carry me through this
difficulty"
Still the fact remained that he didn'
know where he was going to get his
Thanksgiving dinner, or, what was
still more important, how he was going
to get a ticket for the Yale-Harvard
football match
At first he let his mind dwell on the
Thanksgiving days he had spent in the
past, and then he gradually veered
around to those he had seen described
in stories, but he could find no con-
nection between his present case and
any he had experienced or seen de-
Scribed.
In the stories I have read" he
thought to himself, some miserly mill
ionaire is always made happy by hav-
ing his fiinty heart softened SO that he
spends much money in charity. Now
being poor, I am just in the position to
make miserly rich man happy by let
ting him help me-"
A few minutes more of reflection
made the whimsicality of the idea de-
lightful, and he decided to act on it.
But the first thing to do was to catch
HIS illliioHdiic oleppllS illo q Holci
reading-room, he looked through a
copy of a Sunday paper in which he
noticed a series Of interviews with rich
men, in which those ever interesting
individuals had confded to the re-
porter their plans for Thanksgiving
Day. He read:
Il shall spend the day in attending
to business" said Mr.. Putancall curtly.
He'll do" said the Young Man to
himself, "for besides being rich and
crusty he is a bachelor"
1t took him about an hour to walk
down town to old PutancalPs office;
but, being without street car fare, he
had no choice but to pace off the dis

the place was deserted; but, hearing
footsteps, Mr. Putancall came out OF
his private room to investigate. He
was in a decidedly grumpy and dissat-
isfied humor for the absence of his
heads OF departments and clerks made
him realize that. after all, he was only
one man. Without them he was like an
octopus shorn of it's tentacles. The
Young Man stood and looked him over
quizzically
..WelIl" exclaimed Mr.. Putancall
impatiently, 'well!"
WELL" responded the Young Man,
smiling.
What can I do for your" asked Mr..
Putancall with rising anger. He was
not accustomed to being echoed in that
way.
Nothing said the Young Man
cheerfully.
.Then you will have to excuse me,
for / am busy" And he stepped back
into his. private office.
The Young Man followed him.
you are too hasty," he said. ''The
boot is on the other leg. I am here to
do something for you."
Whats that?"
II am here to do you a great kind
ness" Then he added, before Mr.. Put
ancall had time to adjust his mind to
this unprecedented state of affairs. "by
the by, how many years is it since any
one has called on you in the way of
kindness" ?"
This unusual question simply tripped
the financier into deeper confusion, and
he looked at the daring Young Man in
blank astonishment.
..Now, see here" said the Young
Man, noticing his advantage and as
Stunning an air of authority, you have
earned over $5,000.000 and you don't
know how to enjoy So bill. You are
here in your office to-day simply be-
cause you don't know what else to do,
and you are feeling wretched because
the absence of your assistants makes II
impossible for you to smother your
feelings with effective work Why
aren't you enjoying Thanksgiving day?
Haven't you anything to be thankful
for?'
These direct criticisms and searching
questions reduced Mr.. Putancall to a
condition of helplessness that made the
Young Mans magnetism tell more on
him every minute.
T saw what you said to the reporter
who interviewed you last week and
made up my mind that it would be an
act of charity to prevent you from
keeping your word about working to-
day. How much money have you got
in your pocket?"
This question Immediately filled Mr..
Putancalps mind with fear. Was this
mysterious stranger going to rob him
He instinctively reached for the mes
senger call.
That's all right" said the Young
Man. You may send for the police If
you like, but before they have arrived
l shall have convinced you that you
have made a mistake
Mr.. Putancall withdrew his hand
But why do you want to know how
much money / have?"
Because You will have TO pay the
expenses of the days fun And it will
be new sensation for you to do it.
Really, Mr. Putancall, your case is one
that I sympathize with. When you
came to New York years ago, it was
your intention to win a modest fortune
| and then go back TO live among your
/ old friends. By the time you had ac-

life that you could do nothing else,
and the result is that all the feelings
of your boyhood are imprisoned in your
wrinkled old heart. Now, won't you
give that boy holiday"
Mr.. Puntanca1l wavered, recovered
himself. them hesitated again. and when
he looked into the frank, good humored
eyes that were watching him, he yield
ed completely He was experienced
enough in the world to know that their
honesty was unmistakable. Grasping
the proffered hand, he wrung it with
the hearty enthusiasm Of youth.
Good" exclaimed the Young Man.
Now, let me use your telephone for a
few minutes, and I will order a dinner;
then We will go to the football match" ;"

A new story is now told of Sir Wal
ter Scott. 1t seems that he was not
a brilliant scholar, and was usually
at the foot of his class. After he be-
came famous he one day dropped into
the old schoolhouse. The teacher, anx-
ious to make an impression, put the
pupils SO as to show them to the best
advantage. After awhile Scott said:
But which is the Ounce? You have
one, surely. Show him to me-
The teacher called up a poor fell
low, who looked the picture of woe as
he bashfully came towards the distin-
guished visitor.
Are you the dunce?' asked Scott.
"Yes, SIR" said the boy.
