JEW NOT A TRADESMAN.

One Of the Race Says They Are Agra
rians by Nature.
DR.. Max Nordau, who is interested
In the movement which aims to have
the Jews reoccupy Palestine, asserts
that the Jews are naturally an agra
rian people and not pre-eminently
fitted for trade and commerce. They
have taken to trade, because" says
Nordau, being bounded for nearly
1000 years from country to country
all over the face Of the earth. they
have not had the chance of settling
down to agricultural pursuits. What
were they to do, since they must
live? And not being fools or asses,
they did what others did, and traded.
And can you blame them If their
brains have been quickened and whet-
ted by centuries Of trouble and oppo-
sition, they pursued their vocations
more eagerly and energetically than
others, and were often more success
full? The Jew is no more a hero, in
ordinary life, than any other human
being. he is only an intelligent being,
and when he has been obliged to make
uiS living ny IraQe, commerce OT
monetary transactions he has done as
all the rest did. and looked after his
own interests. l say again, can you
blame him? But / also maintain that
he has no special talent for trade. l
pretend to know the history of COM
merce, and l cannot find single in
stance where the Jew has struck out
a new line. Bookkeeping by double
entry was one of the great inventions;
insurance companies, joint stock COM
panies and hundred other develop
ments have been made, but never once
has Jew struck out new line. He
has followed where others led. and
even there he has been slow to adopt
Innovations. But not one original idea
In this line has come from Jew. He
is at heart an agriculturist still. as he
was ages ago. and the peaceful occu-
patton of the open air will suit his
temperament exactly"

POET BEFORE SHAKESPEARE.
RsllickinE Robert Greene Was Particu-
lArly Famous.

RsllickinE Robert Greene Was Particu-
Arly Famous.
Robert Greene was a poet when
Shakespeare was a fedgling, but his
chief claim to fame is due to the fact
that he was the first juggler of the
muse that demanded money rather
than glory for his productions. In
those good old days of Queen Bess,
Greene was particularly famous among
his literary fellows for his alternate
flashes of genius and wild debauch-
cries. Greene was gifted with an ex-
ceedingly gall-tipped tongue, which
wagged overtime in denouncing his
contemporaries and their productions.
He was particularly severe with
Shakespeare, who in Greene's prime
had but secured modicum Of applause
for his undying genius. He described
the work OF Shakespeare as "upstart
crows, beautified with our feathers"
from the fact that the bard usually
resorted to ancient plays for his plots.
His accusations of plagiarism against
Shakespeare were not believed at the
time. because his own life was par
ticularly menaced by a number of 9TH
er poets against whom he had leveled
the shaft of his wit, and his charges Of
plagiarism against Shakespeare were
looked upon as baseless as the others.
The light-brained gentry of that pc
riod knew not and cared not whether
sword or pen were mightier, after a
passage at wits, passage at arms fol-
lowed, thereby menacing both char
acter and life. 1t is not known wheth-
er Greene ever resorted to the sword,
but he once had an exchange of COM
pliments with one Gabriel Harvey. a
writer of light verse and an intimate
friend Of Shakespeare. in which Greene
was severely scored. Harvey's last
letter, to which Greene vouchsafed no
reply. was especially severe. In it he
said: who in London hath not heard

his fond Disgusting of a master of arts

Anything to Say Something.

The Hanna-McKinley organs have
been. manufacturing and ublishing
with startling and ridiculous embel-
lishment a variety of stories about
Mr.. Bryan's adventures in the wilds OF
Texas during his recent visit to that
state Among them was one about an
attempt of eN-Goy. HOgg and Mr..
Byran to ride a span Of ostriches.
While in Chicago the other day MIR.
Bryan good-naturedly referred TO
these stories and among other things
said:
Il am in the position of that west
ern congressman who had not been in
Washington long before tale came
back to his district that he had tried
TO blow out the electric light in his
hotel room and had set his watch by
the clock-like cash register in the
street car. When he was confronted
with the charges on his return home
he exclaimed: Il will admit that
tried to blow out the electric light,
but I'll be goldarned if | set my
watch by the cash register So,
with me, I'll admit l hunted panther,
but III be 'goldarned' if | rode an
ostrich, That panther hunt was 4
most ladylike affair. and no one en-
joyed the joke more than the panther
did. No hunter was hurt, the horses
were not hurt and the panther was
not hurt. After we had hunted him
he was led to his cage again. We do
not hunt, like the imperialists, to kill
something, and hen L go out hunt
ing to do damage ALWAYS hunt repub-
licans. This ostrich story was a clev-
er one. 1t has been built up with all
styles of architecture ever since
it started. They had Gov. Hogg fall
ing off his feathery steed and know
Just where the ostrich kicked me, and
to prove the story they will show the
two ostriches. Like the panther, it
was q good joke.''

His Happy Future.

pope on the occasion of the holy
