Tha Wealth OF Jews.

No Jew today in America has a fortune
of the first class. In a list of the fifty
richest men in the country there is no
Jewish name. If such a list were extend
ed to 100 there would be none. The Jews
are great traders, no doubt. but the
Scotch, the ~Scotch-Irish, the French. the
Dutch and the pure Yankee can beat
them hollow when the trading is done in
a large scale requiring executive ability.
courage and absolute confidence in the
Integrity of the merchant. No doubt the
Jews make a great deal of money, but
they are Spectators, and what they make
is not always held securely. Then,
again., they do not, or, rather. they have
not in the past generally begun with cap
ital secured by inheritance. Nor have
they, until lately, invested N land. They
are also Orier tai in their taste and spend
with much liberality to themselves in
their living. AsJew, when profits accrue
to him, is usually very generous to him
self and to all thai belong to him, And
many generally belong to him. for the
Jews are noted for their large families.
They are money makers, but not money
savers. Every man who reads this state
ment will have knowledge of al indi-
ing Of an exceptional individual here and
there, but am making a general state
ment. However,, ] repeat in entire confi-
dence, there is today in America no indi-
vfhual Jew so exceptionally rich that he
can rank in wealth with the fifty or one
hundred men who stand at the top.

The author who cared most for beasts
was Sir Walter Scott. 1t was better not
to be at Abbottsford when one.of the dogs
died, said Miss Scott, for the family was
all in tears. When Cramp, his bull ter
rier, died, Sir Walter declined to dine out
he had lost a dear old friend. Mazda,
his deerhound, was given TO him by the
Highland chief, Glengarry, n lived 70
a great age. Mazda would lie in his study.
with his head in reach of scott's hand,
when he wanted to go out, he knocked
with his tail. Meanwhile old Tfins Of Hins-
feldt, the great gray eat, sat in the second
place of honor, at the top of the library
ladder. When Mazda went out, Hins came
down from the ladder, and took his place
in his absence. There was also a pack OF
grayyhounds, and every kin Of terrier.
and old Hins would join in hunting a hare
If one got UP near the house. At last
Nimrod, a young, inconsiderate deer
hound, killed poor old Hins In the excite
ment of the chase. When Sir Walter was
very i'll abroad. he always wrote home for
news Of the dogs. and they gathered
round him fondly when he came back to
die. His poems and novels, Of course, are
full Of dogs and horses.-Youths Cons
