zIONISM.
What the Jewish Trust Has Done for Pales-
tine

1t is impossible to believe that the Jewish
commercial genius should fail even in
Palestine. Already several factories are
running profitably; n tobacco plantation
has been established, mulberry trees have
been planted for the rearing of silkworms,
the tolcrable cognac and claret of the
colonies are 8, Hing in Europe. and with the
further opening up Of the European market,
Palestine could export not only the cruci-
form flowers, the mother-of-pearl mcmentos
and the olive-wood carvings Of the holy
baZars, but also olive and sesame oil. soap.
conserved fruits. sweets, perfumes. etc.
The Turkish rule may be corrupt, but the
Jewish Trust could farm the taxes. The
Turk at least has not prosecuted the jew,
perhaps because the jew especially in his
Oriental embodiment. is rcligiously akin to
the Mahometan; both are monothcists; a
service III mOSlrIc is very like service in
a synagog. And if the Turk is a religious
cousin, the Arab is n racial cousin. DIR.
Hcrzl'S willingness to make the Holy
Places of Jerusalem extra territorial like
the Vatican in Rome, suggests possible
compromise with Christendom. The
chances of n new Crusade the Jew would
have To take; like the eel, he is used to being
skinned alive: Should he himself cstab-
lish an Inquisition. the Jewish hcrctics
could fly TO more Christian lands. Turkey S

really plays into DIR. Herzl's hands. AS
for the official expression at Washington
that Turkey will not sell Palestine, it is
only theatrical death-blow to Zionism;
the dagger blade slips back into the haft.
To buy Palestine is not quite the scheme.
and even if it were, the sSultan's mind is rot
n fixed quantity. Sultans' moods come
and go-and so do Sultans. We cannot
perhaps remove the Alps. but who ever
heard of n finality in politics, even when
fixed in n treaty? Besides, rs one who has

He made the acquaintance of several
Confederate officers, and while with them
at popular resort uptown known as the
"Stonewall Saloon" where he drank to the
health of jeff Davis, the Confederacy, and
so on, he determined to get in toast some
how to the Union while there, and he did it
in this wise: Their glasses were filled

called on for toast. The Captain raised
his glass and said: Gentleman and friends,

friends looked inquiringly at him, the Cap

and he fell on his knees and tied the lace
Then he walked on with her. and the shoe

cnces u! Samantha. OF the various works
o: this tuihrr Samantha at Saratoga" is
the masterpiece. its popularity is unfag-
ging, aad it seems 10 have secured for itself q
permanent place in American literature.
This book deals with 4 season at Saratoga,
including the observations of the author and
her experiences with the various people she
met in this fashionable resort and vicinity
She goes TO Lake George and Mount Me.
GregOr and visits ether notable places. She
attends the races, frequents the promenade,
takes her morning constitutional to the
mineral springs, and, in fact, makes herself
part and parcel of the gay life of the Ameri-
can Spa. The story is told in the vernacular
of New England.
This book, while it does not purport 10 lie
history, is faithful mirror OF the life with
which it deals. Samantha was philosopher,
and her criticisms and structures upon the
follies in the people she met are always to the
point Samantha's reflections, however, are
always gOod-natured, and the language of her
sermons is never heavy, but she treats the
reader from the beginning of her story to the
end to a succession of droll witticisms that
