"Esperanto" is not intended to dis
place any existing language, but to
serve as an auxiliary for international
use-to be learned by each nation in
addition to it's native tongue, so that
this single additional language may en-
able it's possessOr to communicate freely
with all other peoples.
Herr Wilhelm Heller, a noted Aus
trian Jewish journalist, has asked me to
cooperate with him for the attainment
of "Hebrew Esperanto International
Union" for the consolidation OF Jewish
interests everywhere in the world. The
August number of the ''British Es-
peranto' contained the following COM
munication in Esperanto: Because
there are already many Hebrew
Esperantists, it is believed that the
convenient time has arrived to found
a universal review for the Jews,
which should aim to become
powerful link among Jews scattered
all over the world. Now, first Of all, IL
must be borne in mind that the tendency
Of Esperanto is to preserve natural Ian
guages rather than to destroy them, and
that the project to unite the Jewish
world through Esperanto as an inter
national medium will not aim in any
way to subvert, but rather to preserve
the Hebrew language. Esperanto aims
only at being the international key-lan-
guage, foreign to all, yet the common
property of all'' The tendency Of
natural languages is to comminge
under the stress Of modern conditions
and so to lose their distinctive quail
ties. With recognized key-language
at hand, suitable for all foreign inter-
communication, this stress will be re-
moved, the commingling will be ar
rested, and the purity Of the natural
tongue will be preserved American

dreamed Of so long-a common second
language for the whole world.
Jews have led so many movements for
the benefit of mankind that it is not
surprising that the originator Of "Es-
peranto' is a Jew. Louis l.. Zamenhot,
Jewish physician, now residing II.
Warsaw, was born at Byelestok in 1859,
where at least four different languages
Russian, Polish, German and Yiddish
are in common everyday use. This
latter circumstance, which young Zam-
enhof considered the cause Of the enmity
that exists among those nationalities, is
said to have given rise to the idea which
resulted in the creation Of "Espe-
ranto" language that could be under
stood and used by all.
When he was fourteen his parents
moved to Warsaw, and he became a
student at the university, studying
Latin, Greek, French, German, and
English. After several fruitless at
tempts to universalize Hebrew, Yiddish
or some other now spoken language, he
came to the conclusion that no language
could ever become a universal medium
which identified itself with any particu-
lar nationality or country. 1t was in
1878 when he succeeded in building up
a neutral language on the basis Of the
Romano o-Teutonic roots Of modern Eu
rope, and in 1887 he published his first
completed work, entitled can Interna-
tional Language, signing himself
"Doktoro Esperanto and this was
how the language came to be known as
Esperanto
At the time of the publication of DR..
Zamenhof's pamphlet, the clever but i'm
practicable scheme Of Able Schleyer-
"Volapuk was at the height Of its
popularity, and its downfall soon after
had disastrous effect on the idea of in
ternational language, but "Esperanto"
slowly but surely advanced and was en-
dorsed by such men as Tolstoy, Max
Muller Sir William Ramsay, Ostwald,
Berthelot, 'Poincare, the London Cham
ber of Commerce, and later also by
authors of rival schemes Notably was
this the case in France where through
the efforts Of M. L. de Beaufront and
Prof. Thomas Cart. "Esperanto" is now
being spread. 1t was only about two
and half years ago when it obtained
a footing in Great Britain, but it
already has several thousand adherents,
two months papers, and an organization
for propagating the language SThe
British Esperanto Association.
The language was introduced into

him into the house. A half-hour later,
arrayed in some garments of the elder

to go to kindergarten. The first day she
had beautiful time, and when she got
home at night she announced proudly that

She said It over to herself all the way to
school, but when she was really standing
before the teacher somehow it did not seem
so easy. The teacher asked each little girl
In turn, and they answered gIibly, but as It
came to Jeans turn a great fear came over
her. She could not remember what her
fathers business was
Finally the teacher asked Marjorie who
stood just beside Jean. Marjorie answered
readily enough:

Her answer gave Jean an Inspiration II

promise not to be afraid, and to sit per-
feetly still and hold on tight?''
"Yeth," declared Rosy Posy, and they
made ready to start. Rosy Posy behaved
as If she had coasted all her life of three
short years, she was so brave.
Zone, two, three-off we go!'' shouted
Billy Dick, when he had waited for the road
to get clear of sleds.
Away they flew, like shafts from an ar
row, the icy wind biting and painting their
cheeks deeper red How could I have
thought there was any danger?' said Billy
Dick to himself. But he had no sooner
said it than crack, bang, something ran into
his sled from behind. and before he knew
what had happened he saw Rosy Posy far
ahead of him, the sled going at rapid
pace. and the little figure sitting erect and
holding on just as If Billy Dick were there
behind her.
The very next thing that Billy Dick
knew was when he opened his eyes in a
beautiful warm room all rosy with red
light from numbers of swinging lamps.
There were soft rays on the floor, on the
couch upon which he lay, and even upon
the walls. Queer, fascinating bowls and
jugs and jars were on little shelves, and
pipes and swords were hung below the
shelves. Great strings of beads were hung
beneath the ceilings. and the window was
curtained with soft silks.
First he thought of Fairyiand, though
he knew that the real Fairyland is just our
own life which we fill with good or bad
fairies in our thoughts. Then he remem-
bered the hill.
Rosy Posy," he gasped.
She's here" said sweet voice, "and
unhurt." And a dear little old lady with
white hair bent over him. You had a bad
lonock, little man. Keep very still now
for a few minutes, and I will bring Rosy
Posy to you.'
Billy Dick closed his eyes again. When
he opened them he heard a familiar voice
just outside the room.

when some boys lost control of their

Then Miss Elsie came in. and Rosy Posy,
and the old lady; and Billy Dick was SO
thankful to see his dear little sister that
he had to rub his eyes very hard with his
cum to stop the queer feeling he had in
then-probably mosquito bites! Rosy Posy
petted him, and Miss Elsie smoothed the
wet hair back from his eyes.
I'm going to reform, Miss Elsie,'' de-
clared Billy Dick solemnly, as they drove
home later. Il shall always after this be
sure l can keep promises before I make
them. or 1 shall never be worthy of my

About Money.

Elsie's first experience with money &C.
Cured when she so short that she
mad to climb up on a stool In order to
see the clerk behind the candy counter
Then she used to take a penny out of her
little white mitten, reach it out to the clerk
and say:
"A little tandy mouse, pease."
So the first thing Elsie learned about
money was that she could exchange 1t for
something she wanted.
One day Els.es uncle came to visit and
he gave her more money than she had ever
had at one time In her life. bright new
silver quarter.
1t was so pretty that Elsie thought she
would keep it always She carried 1t every
where she went, and thought about II most
of the time. Then she began to be afraid she
would lose 1t. and Ii worried her very much
until she thought of p ace where she
could hide it.
When no one was looking she picked out
a tiny spruce tree in the field where she
often played, and under this tree she plant
ed her shiny quarter. Then she ran away to
play, happy in the thought that her pre-
cious money was safe.
Next morning she went to lcok at it, She
dug and dug all around the tree but did not
find it, She looked under all the other little
spruce trees, for. strange TO say, they all
looked so much alike that she could not ex-
actiy remember which one was the tree
where she buried her treasure. She never
found the money, but she learned two
things-frst. money is great care in Itself,
and of no use unless It's In use; second
buried money is as good as no money
The next money Elsie had was a whole
dollar bill. She could hardly believe that
the little rectangle of green paper was four
times as good as the shiny money she had
lost. They had to. explain to her that four
shiny silver quarters had been locked up
for her In Uncle Sans big treasure house,
and the green bill was just to say that she
could buy dollars worth of something
and he would pay the silver gold for
1t. The bill she hid on a shelf behind the
clock, and on rainy days she would climb
up and look at it and plan what she would
buy with 1T at Christmas time
When Christmas really came she went
with auntie to the town to spend the dol
lar. She bought jackknife for brother
Hal, handkerchief for papa and pretty
cup and saucer for mamma.
They Were all SO pleased and surprised
with their presents that Elsie made up her
mind that all money was good for was to
spend in making other people happy.
Some day I will tell you how Elsie first
learned that money had to be earned, and
how she earned her. first money. e..i -,
