boards. which a healthy male could

prisoners rarely. If ever, attempt to es-

Judge Kellogg, Judge Hand and other

may cut the grass on neighboring
lawns, do garden work. or repair roads
for the village or county. Recently one
prisoner, who should have returned at

death comes to us all. 1t is no ne"
thing. 1t is what we must expect. Pass
me the butter, my dear. Yes, death
comes to all, and my friends time had
come"
Now. Death overheard these philoso-
phic remarks at different times and one
day he showed himself to the philoso-
pher.
II am DEATH" said he simply.
Go away" said the man IN a panlc'
II am not ready for you"
Yes; but it is one Of your faVorte

found that the ratio of conversions Is
exceedingly large in England. While
Russia is credited with a Jewish popu-
lation Of 100000. Great Britain has
only a twenty-fifth of that population
credited to it, viz, 100000. The propor-
ton of conversions, therefore, is one In
seven in England to the Church Of Eng
land. which certainly strikes US as very
large. to one in sixty-seven in Russia
to the Orthodox Church.
If these proportions are anywhere ac-
curate they certainly form singular
commentary on the methods adopted.
In Russia coercion and persecution has
marked the policy adopted toward the
Jews in England there has been per-
feet liberty, and, in fact, the Jews have
been rather petted than otherwise. Ap-
parently the Jew had much to gain In
Russia by becoming Christian and
nothing to gain by becoming one In
England.
Warsaw, Of which the entire popula-
tion is three quarters Israelite, has been
generally reckoned to contain more
Jews than any other city. but the palm
must be awarded in this respect to the
city Of New York, whose Jewish popu-
lation exceeds 100000. Budapest comes
next, with 10000; then Vienna, and
Odessa each with about 10000; London.
with 10000; Berlin with 10000; Phil
adelphia with 100000. Paris, Amster-
dam, Lemberg, Salonica and eight other
cities have a Jewish population equal

"SraNpING PAT."-It will be remem-
hered that when Senator Hanna recent
ly made a speech at the opening OF the
Republican campaign in Ohio he told
his audience that the keynote OF his ad-
dress was STAND Pat" Tom Johnson
who is something Of buffer himself
has made a speech in which he mas
something to say about standing pat.
"wben a man stands pat" he says,
there Is always the suspicion OF
bluff" But the most interesting part
of Johnson's reply to Hanna Is a rhyme
he learned down in Kentucky, as rol-
lows:
Did you ebher stand pat on a bobtail
flush?
Did you ebber make a straight short
bluff?
Ef YOU nebber done it, honey,
IT'S de way to loze yo' money,
For It lest goes up-like snuff.
Mr.. Johnson Is making his campaign
upon state issues. He has criticised the
Republican managers for allowing the
orators at the Akron meeting Ito have
a lot to say about a canal across the
isthmus about shooting religion into
the little brown men across the ocean,
and about the trusts which do not exist,
but no. a word about home rule. equal

Ralph worked the rest Of the afternoon
in peace Of mind. The hired man, at
least, had no knowledge Of Hortense

Nobody, indeed, but the hired man

they rose she nudged him.

high. Maybe you think I'd squeal on

He played checkers with the hired
man and beat him, but he kept a SOL

had done a foolishly mischievous and
dishonorable thing. He had lost q
good part Of his confidence. and 1t
might not be easy to get 1t back. His
father was reading something aloud to
Ralph's mother and Hortense.

he said good night soberly.
