Your bands all faded out,
And city SCOT brings many stain
No country rains wash out;

You finish here-that's fiat;

TATTOOED BY
A MISSIONARY

NEW YORK. June i.--Dr. Joseph

the Hebrew district on the East side.
told a reporter that sone one at
tached to n mission had tattoosd a
crors--as a symbol % the Christian
reiigion--on the arms Of number
Of the children who attended there.
Dr. Bruder said that within the
last ten months he has been visited
hy the parents Of fifteen children.
Who have been thus marked for life.
and that the parents had begged Of
min, to remove the cross. which he
was not able 60 do.
The mission. Or. Bruier says. was
established 20 convert the children
u Hebrews to Christianity. and II
cenduote- by converted Hebrews. In
each case the cross was tsttooed on
the left forearm.
Al prayers In the synagogue the
left arm OF the worshlper IL exposed
above the elbow ard is circled by
the phIIln. a narrow leather strap
employed to hold the letters COM
postnx the Hebrew word for God
The fact that a cross was inislibly
printed on the arm OF the child would
aebar him forever from taking part
in the service.
DIT. Bruder said he made no record
of the names and addresses. and In
consequence none OF the children
could be found To-Day. Or. Hrudcr
said the missionary had secured the
consent Of the children by giving
them pennies and presents Of candy.
All OF the children brought 10 him
were boys. but he had been told the
little girls we're similarly marked.
