MARK TWAIN ON THE JEWS.
why the Germans and other COnti-
mental Nations Prosecute Them.

Mark Twain. in Harper's Magazine.
The Jew is not a disturber of the peace
of any country. Even his enemies viii
concede that. He Is not a loafer, he is
not a sot, he is not noisy, he is not q
brawler nor a rioter, he is not quarrel
some. In the statistics of crime his pres
ence is conspicuously rare-in all coun-
tries. With murder and other crimes of
violence he has but little TO do; he is
stranger to the hangman. In the police
courts daily long roll of assaults" and
drunk and disorderlies" his name seldom
appears That the Jewish home is a home
in the truest sense is a fact which no one
will dispute. The family is knitted co.
gether by the strongest affections; its
members show each other every due re-
spect; and reverence for the elders is an
inviolate law of the house. The Jew is not
a burden on the charities Of the state nor
the city; these could cease from their
functions without affecting him. When
he is well enough, he works; when he is
incapacitated. his own people take care
of him. And not in q poor and stingy way,
but with a fine and 4arge beneyolence.

500 Volumes Missing From the Uni
versity of Chicago Libraries.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the -Chicago If1Duhe.
1t has been known for some time that
large numbers of books are continually
missing from the shelves Of the libraries
of the University of Chicago, but an edi-
torial on the subject In the University
of Chicago Weekly points the inference
that the practice IL refers to as stealing
them for the time being" Is particularly
fragrant at present, as more than 1900
volumes are missing.
The first term of the summer quarter
al the university was concluded last week
and hundreds of students departed for
home. 1t is said that many volumes re-
Gently in the libraries are now conspicu-
Gus for their absence Mr.. Clarence a.
Torrey, inspector of libraries, stated that
he is troubled with more failures TO re-
turn books in the summer quarter than
at any other period. His last report shows
that in the three years il covers 237 vol
umes have disappeared from the theology
library, the biology shelves lost 150 ana
English III. Hardly a department escap-
ed, and music and comparative philology
each registered one missing.
The editorial in the Weekly attempts
to explain and palliate the offenses OF
students and lay the blame on the al
ministration of the libraries 1t recounts
the difficulty the student encounters in
obtaining a reference book when there
are not enough copies to supply the de-
mand, and says:
In this predicament he takes the book
he steals it for the time being. He Will
return it to It's place in a day or so; at
least he thinks 80 at the time. But LATER
he changes his mind. If he should return
1t he is In danger of being caught, and so
he decides TO let Wen enough alone. and
the book is placed on his closet shelf, or.
possibly, If he is cautious. he burns IT,
This sort of stealing is going on all the
time, and II 1t is TO stop there must be
new measures taken. And the simplest
remedy is TO increase the number of COP
les of reference books.
I'VE have faced the problem of thefts in
the libraries for years" said Mr. Torrev.
There seems TO be 10 method of stopping
the depredations. Several students have
been detected I'M The act of taking books
and have been expelled, but nobody knew
why they disappeared from college. and
the lesson was lost on the remainder of the
student body. on the other hand, If a stu
dent is branded as thief perhaps his
whole life VIII be ruined. / regret to say
that many cases are reported from the the
ology library. Hiring a large number of
attendants to keep watch in the libraries
would cost more than replacing the vo.-
umes stosen."

zoIa's Socks.

From Mostly About People.
IN. A. P" has discovered the man who
sold lola his socks. Here is the letter in
which the salesman gives his version of
the affair: II was engaged in the hosiery
department of a large establishment in
the buckingham Palace road for several
years, and l distinctly remember selling
two pairs of socks TO NJ. Zola last sum-
mer. l remember saying to a compan-
ion I'm sure that is the man who wrote
Mana" lola may be a great man, but
he does not know all about socks Pic
ture to yourself, sir, little man with a
big head all hair, rushing eXcitedly up
to the counter, tapping himself on the
chest, and crying out, Soak! Soak! l
SAID l was sorry to see ii, and, indeed, it
looked that way. When l got to know
and, going by the size of his head, l gave
him the biggest We had got Then he
jumped about like a man in a fit, yelling
out things in French, of which l did not
know one word. l had heard that French
men fought with their feet and when he
lifted his 'Trilby' as high as the counter,
l thought that was his game But it is
untrue to say that l drew back TO the
shelves. I could have put out half a
dozen like him, but, of course, / did not
want a row in the shop. 1t is all rot to
say that va do not measure a closed hand
for a sock, for we do, but how are YOU
going to measure a mans fist If he is
shaking il under your nose or pounding
the counter with it? The way we sell
socks is this: We have boys and youths
sizes, then small mems. medium and large
mems. l first offered NJ. lola large mems.
that would go with No. boots. | apollo
gized then, and will do so again if he
wants it, as he seems aggrieved. He was
fitted with youths at the finish"

this event he had met personal loss. The
two had been very near to each other, and
had supported each other in youth against
the exactions of their harsh father. Goethe
at the age of % had become literary lion,
"Werther," even more than "Gotz Won
Berlichgen," which preceded it, had given
him great popularity. In Frankfort he
was received in social circles not previous
