FISHERS WHO CAN'T SWIM.
Labrador Mems Lives Often Haz-
arded Through Ignorance
of This Art.

Few fishermen can swim, says a writer
In Leslie's Monthly on Labrador. you
zee. we has enough o. the water without
soin' to bother wi it when we are
ashore" a mar said to me only the
other day. Yet this very mar had fallen
overheard in the open sea no less than
four times and had only been saved on
one occasion by catching the line thrown
him in his teeth and holding on till he
was hauled aboard. His hands were too
numbed to be of any use. Still, this fact
does not deter them from facing the
water. In an open bay in Labrador lives
one solitary settler. In the spring of the
year, when the ice was just breaking up,
the mans two lads were out on the bay
ice after seals, when all of a sudden 1t
gave way and the lads fell through.
The father, seeing it from the shore, did
not hesitate, but, selling a fishing line,
hastily fastened one end round his body
and, giving the other end to his daugh-
ter to hold, he ran out to the hole
through which they had fallen. He
jumped into the water, actually went
down and fetched up the bodies, too late,
alas, to restore life to them after that
cold water.

situations, the invitations were not too
narrowly exclusive; wherefore the ball,
as suggested by that diplomat, Mrs.
Palmer, was a foregone success.
1t was gotten up very suddenly for an
affair of such magnitude; when every
one thought the year was to pass with
out the annual charity dance, Mrs.
Palmer appeared in Chicago and an
nounced her Willingness to help a ball
along, gave some hints as to her prefer
ence for a pageant Of nations; and,
though the time was short, response was
quick and enthusiastic. Imagine the
generalship needed for this sort OF
thing, and then cease to talk about d
leisure class, the butterfly life Of So
ciety. There have been endless commit
tee meetings, numberless interviews, la
bors of an extent to take ones breath
away. But nothing matters so long as
success crowns the efforts.
Names we'll known are associated with
this ball of nations-Mrs. Palmer, Mrs.
Marshall Field, Jr., Mrs. Valentine
formerly Mrs. ARMOUR, Honore
Palmer, Melville E. Stone, Jr. To Mrs.
Dick Crane was given the responsibility
for Japan's part in the pageant. Princess
Engalitcheff had to provide a group of
Russian beauties, Mrs. Mitchell was to
uphold the pride Of old England, Mrs.
Valentine hunt up ~red-cheeked girls for
Scandinavia, Mrs. Secor Cunningham
see that colonial America was properly
presented. 1t was a delicate matter in
deed to get the right people in
the right place, to locate with
out offending; and weary indeed has
been many a brow that has had to con-
tend with the charity ball problems.
But who thinks of preparation the night
of the festival?

not recall any previous period when the
whole town seemed so given over to
philanthropic enterprises; and We Won
| der at the cause.
Is it the just-closed season of giving
that is still influencing, or is it that New
Year resolutions are bidding us be good
AT least in the first days of the Oppor-
tunities of 1905?
Whatever the impelling motives at the
hour of writing our big town seems to
have thrown off her sometime cloak OF
indifference and donned the broad
mantle of charity. The boulevard dwell
err now is not wholly absorbed in ma
terial comfort and prosperity, in self
ish indulgence; he and she appear to be
concerned to a very considerable degree
in efforts to give some n else beside
themselves at least q taste of the good
things of life, in efforts to bring cheer
to the ailing and afflicted, in efforts to
protect youth and helplessness. An in
stance of the general charitable inten-
ton. we note the following (some just
over, some soon to be) large occasions
| II LOT the IGllSI vi lue AcCccoAIOuO-
At the Illinois theater. the recent bene-
fit for the Passavant Memorial hospital,
an institution old for Chicago, founded
in 1865, for which society women under
take to provide the extras" reaped a
goodly harvest; the affair being attend
ed by society in full force, and, though
noted actors and actresses o~bligingly did
stunts" perhaps the chief interest OF
the afternoon was centered in the young
society women selling programmes in
the foyer. The Cribside society lately
obtained, through the kindness of Mr..
Burton Holmes and the popularity of his
"Travelogue," a neat sum for their pet
protoge, the Children's hospital. Early
In February there is to be a great con-
cert in the interests of the juvenile court,
a Chicago experiment in which there is
evidenced widespread interest. But the
event of all is the affair under the lead
ership of Mrs. Potter Palmer, the char
ity ball.

people needing assistance.
We are wont, in our comfortable
homes, in prosperous portions of the
city to forget that 1.-The other half" is
lust over there somewhere; that a few
blocks off, as it were, cold and hunger
are things of real meaning; that there
are t~ownspeople of ours that actually
never get quite enough to eat, are never
thoroughly warmfrom December to May,
that lack sufficient clothing to brave the
winds of winter. When We realize it, we
take spurts of doing something in the
way of relief work, but in the intervals
of sloth the hungry go unfed, the cold
unwarmed.
Just the other day the newspapers
told of an e~x-convict's desperation, his
powerlessness to keep up the uneven
struggle. A young fellow, but 26, when
discharged from the Joliet prison, he de-
termined to go no further in a career Of
crime. came to Chicago and tried to get
work. He could find no work, he had no
money; so the line of least resistance
was to lie down and die.
On the same day two other cases OF
suicide desperation were reported, the
cause in each inability to get work. So
even in these fat times, these days of
continued prosperity, we must realize
that the old prophecy yet remains true
the poor We have always with you. Ard
the occurrence of the occasional TRACE
dies makes the city mar conscious that
his whole duty is not done when he pays
over to the organized charities his

ton of his income dedicated to benevo-
lence.

The Jew counts 1t a disgrace not to
take care of at least his W kindred, and
would feel himself deeply ashamed Il
he did not bear the burden of his poor
relation. In addition to this feeling or
family responsibility, he cannot OOH
| with indifference on the poverty or
members of his race, he must exert him
| self to see that a helping hand is ex-
tended to them. And Jewish philan-
| thropy is wise to a degree, wise 4
| ready; the helper does not wait till TOO
late tG give the lift needed, neither does
he make a pauper of his beneficiary.
A student that has made a careful
study of social conditions in Chicago
says that of all the phAanthropic
schemes that obtain here none seem so
admirable as that followed by the Jew
of Chicago. When they find a case or
poverty occasioned by loss Of work.
after relieving the immediate necessities
of the household and having found out
the character of work for which the
wage Garner is best fitted, they either
obtain some regularly paid employment
for him or else set him up in business
for himself, taking a note payable at
some distant date. In most cases they
are repaid their outlay, and have the
pleasure of knowing they have helped a
family to help itself.
The Jews are greatly interested in
helping the young; in putting them on
their feet, and in providing protection
for them when helpless. There has just
been dedicated in this city a home for
Jewish friendlesS and working girls, a
new institution built and endowed by
Chicago Judaism. 1t is an institution
modelled on broad humanitarian lines;
and. as an illustration OF the active in
terest of Jews in philanthropic work, on
the day of the dedication Of this place,
plano were already under way for maxi
ing immediate additions to it's accom-
modations. The Jew. at least in Chi
cago, opens his pocketbOOk wide for
charity.

But the other did not sthop.
He thrust his hand into his hip
pocket, pulled out a silk handkerchief,
wiped his eyeglasses, picked up a paper
and began to read 1t.
Then the man with the bristling
mustach turned to the unmistakable
Englishman who had been sitting at
the next table and listening with hor-
rifed establishment to the converse
