A GHETTO GLOBE MAKER.
Curious Occupation of a DweIler on
New York's East Side.

New York Post.-In a tenement
Jewish globe-maker, whose handiwork
finds its way into the homes of his
countrymen and the museums of curio
hunters uptown. The mapped spheres
OF manufacture are seen everywhere,
but his globes are not of this ilk. The
ball of wood which is the foundation is
tenderly covered with a papery sub
stance until he thinks it is thick
enough. Wire painted a bright red
or green is strung through the poles;
wire also makes the axis. With the
aid of instruments which have been in
his family for generations, he divides
the surface into hemispheres; then
the equator is designed; the lines OF
latitude and longitude are painted in.
The maps which he uses are import
ed from France, and come in nearly a
hundred pieces. 1t requires the great
est possible skill to fit them on to the
globe in exactly the right position
But the old mans fingers have become
accustomed to the work, and he rare
ly makes mistake. He does not
seem to be thinking of his work
either, but intones in an absent minded
way from his beloved Talmud The
fingers from long rubbing and fitting
are as sensitive at the tips as those of
a piano player 'Ah' he says to the
writer, when l hold the globe that way
| know my thumb will be in certain
town in Russia, and my small finger
in an island in the Atlantic ocean
if these things are not so, am sure
the map is incorrect"
For his own people and a few Gus
toners he INDUCES in novelties such
as putting in moon sun and stars of
different metals. The bases of the
globe are often of picturesque char
acter. One was made Of different woods
from Jerusalem, fashioned to repre-
sent the steps to Solomon's temple;
the symbolism being that the globe
rested upon the foundation of the
holy structure. Another had crudely
painted upon it, various scenes from
the sayings of the prophets with such
lines as:
Say unto the cities of Judah, Behold
your God.
And the ransomed of the Lord shall
return and come singing unto Zion.
Break forth into joy sing together.
We waste places of Jerusalem.
The old globe-maker does not toll
by the hour; his work is his day
dream and fills all his waking mo-
ments. The children of the tenement
rush into his humble abode to see him
decorating his spheres before they &C
to school in the morning; at twilight
they come again when their tasks are
over; they gaze with wondering eyes
as he pastes on Asia, Europe and
Africa, late in the evening. When
they have grown too tired, have kissed
him goodnight, and are fast asleep in
their beds, he is still making stars and
moons or carefully fitting together the
tails of recalcitrant rivers that have
become mixed up with mountains.
states, lakes, and oceans having no re-
lation whatever to them.

ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

Last Wednesday afternoon a gray
bearded man on a bicycle, wheeling
rapidly down Seventh street encoun-
tered a loaded beer wagon at the cor
ner of Stark. The biker wanted to
turn down Stark, and the teamster
wanted to turn up Seventh. A collision
resulted, from which the elderly biker
wheel was less fortunate, sustaining
a bent frame and broken rim.
The teamster had promptly brought
his horses TO standstill, else it had
gone worse for both bike and biker.
Dot vos too bad!" exclaimed the
driver, sympathetically as the wheel
man gathered his damaged property
from under the horse.
TOO bad! Well, | should say So
but that don't buy bicycles. Now what
are you going to do about it,"
''Vot vos | going to do aloud it,"

DAMAGE TO TEXAS CROP.
In Some Parts of State Picking
Is Practically Over.

According to reports received from
522 correspondents in Texas, Okla
homa and Indian Territory by the Gal
veston-Dallas News, the average con-
dition In Texas is 25 per cent higher
than last year; Indian Territory, %;
Oklahoma, AZ higher. The reports
are all of uniform date, August II.
There has been marked deteriora-
ton of the crop in the southern halt of
Texas during the past month. In some
localities this has been due chiefly to
drouth, but in others the boil weevii
and the boil worm have done consid
cradle damage. In other sections the
insects are preventing the plant from
fruiting.
Some reports from the extreme
southern part of the state. say that
picking is practically over.

The sympathlzers with the lVnchers

confessions made by Reed and Cato

known to the public. These confess
sions, which have never been published
Just as they were made Immediately
before the burning, we're as follows:
Reed repeated the same statement
that he made on the witnes stand,
but Cato asked to see the man who
brought him from Akin, S, c., some
years ago. When this man cam up
Cato said he and Reed went to Hodges
house on Thursday night for the pur-
pose of robbery. ae got into the corn
patch, where tracks were afterwards
found, and made noise as if breaking
down cane. Reed went on to the house
and called Hodges out, telling him
that the cows were in his cane field.
Hodges went out there to see about it.
Then Reed hit him over the head with
sweet gum stick that they had cut
FROM the branch.
CUT THEIR THROATS.
Hodges ran back TO the house, but
was hotly pursued by both negroes.
Mrs. Hodges came out at this time
with the lamp, but they overlook
Hodges just before he got to the gate
and knocked him down. Reed then
Jumped over the fence and knocked
Mrs. Hodges down, came back and
cut Hodges throat. He then went and
cut Mrs. Hodges throat.
Cato ran off at that time. Reed soon
followed and when they met again they
decided to go back and carry the
bodies into the house. They then
poured the oil, locked the door and set
the building on fire and burned the
children to death.
Some one then asked Reed if that
story was true and he said "Y es."

AN EDITOR TOLD THE TRUTH
But the Exact Truth Is Not What
People Always Want.

A Missouri editor announced that
for just one issue he was going to tell
the truth. Here are few items from
that Issue:
John Boon, the LATEST merchant in
town, made trip to Bellview yester-
day."
John Doyle, our groceryman, is do
ing a poor business. His store is dirty,
dusty and o1oriferOus. How can he
expect to do much?"
"Rey. StYx preached Sunday night
on charity. The sermon was punk. II
the reverend gentleman would live up
a little closer to what he breaches he'd
have bigger congregations"
"Dave Sonkey died at his home in
this place Saturday. The doctor gave
it out as heart failure. The fact is, he
was drunk and whiskey is what killed
him. His home was rented shack Oh
ROndy street"
"Married-Miss Silva Rhodes and
James Canadian, Saturday evening at
the Baptist parsonage. The bride IS
a very ordinary town girl, who doesn' t
know any more about cooking than
rabbit, and never helped her mother
three days in her life. She is not a
beauty by any means, and has a gait
like fat duck. The groom is we'll
known here as an up-to date loater.
He has been living off the folks all OF
his life, and don't amount to shucks.
They will have a hard life when they
live together, and the News has no
congratulations to offer, for we don't
believe any good can come of such a
union"
The issue in which the editor told
the truth was the last he ever made
Now, in the spring time when the dew
diamonds sparkle in the tender grass
when the sweet throated birds make
melody all the day, subscribers to this
paper while it was published, drive
out into the country short way tC
catch a glimpse of a black skin which
hangs suspended from a barbed wire
! fence. 1t is all that remains OF The
once manly form OF the Missouri edi
tor who told the truth for one week.
