Likely-Py0ba6le.
Likely is an active word; byob-
able, passive. Men and things
are likely; things are probable.
Likely refers to the present state
of a thing with respect to it's fu-
ture state; probable refers to it's
future state with respect to what
it now is. If we take the two ex-
pressions: 1, "a likely story" and
2, "A probable story" the differ
ence between them will be that
likely story is one which, from in
ternal evidence and present ap-
pearance, carries conviction of it's
truth. A probable story is one
which has the chances in it's favor,
but which we are not 80 readily
inclined to believe as the other.
What is likely is always probable;
but what is probable is not always
likely. Likelihood depends upon
appearances; probability, upon the
number of chances in it's favor. A

out a fine day; but it is probable
that it will be foggy, if it be dur

tulno6S ana goodwin was ap-

Easter Eve? AS the evening
shadows we're falling, the villagers
in their respective homes related
Sescapades of bygone casters to
their children; then told of that
Easter long ago and what it means
for humanity. Perhaps it was the
recounting Of certain pranks that
interested the children most. But
there had been one Easter esca-
pade in that little city long ago,
and now nearly forgotten. It was
the Easter when the cloud of sor-
row enveloped kind, aged couple
referred to as Grandma and Grand
pa Henry. It is my purpose to
narrate the falling and rising of
that cloud.
This kind couple were the par
~ents of boy, Jimmy, as he was
called, not bad boy, but little
wild-perhaps reckless Nothing
was too risky for him, providing
fun could be had. His. prowess
was envied by the big boys and
made him a hero to the younger
element. Many predicted an un-
enviable career for Jimmy, espe-
~cially when the boys, led by
Jimmy, would play some prank
ON Squire Brown or the Widow
Hardy. But grandpa would say:
3Let them be boys while they're
boys"
1t is needless to say that the boys
were boys and therefore just be-
fore Easter the several poultry
sraisers of Toomah noticed de-
Grease in eggs. Funny re-
marked Squire Brown, "why those
hens don't lay more eggs. Used
to get forty or forty five eggs every
day, now I get only four or 6ve."
It was the same with others, but
the widow solved the mystery.
When returning home from visit
~One afternoon she saw several
boys leaving her hennery. Before
dark the news had spread to every
home in the little city. It was a
serious matter, indeed, as several
boys learned. But grandpa SIM
ply laughed and said: "Boys
will be boys" Had he known that
his boy was the leader this tale
might be different. But this fact
was kept from him. Mothers
forbade their boys associating with
Jimmy, and he, being of a sensitive
mature took the matter very much
to heart, grew melancholy ard
xspent his spare time at the rail-
road yards. Then he began to
wonder where the trains wentto,
Finally he decided to find out.
But he decided to defer the trip
until after Easter, when he and
Others were to meet at an appointed
place to eat the eggs they had
COLLECTED" Imagine his surprise
Easter Eve when he found out
sthat the eggs were gone from the
~0atbin in his fathers barn.
Grandpa had found and returned
the eggs and was awaiting Jimmy's
arrival to tell him, "Alls well, the
eggs have been returned" Long
into that night grandpa sat wait
ing for his boy, who was riding
westward on a freight train and
occasionally murmuring: "What's
Easter without more eggs than a
teller can eat"
Years passed and nearly every
lone had forgotten Jimmy, but
leach Easter was to this couple q
spoignant reminder of their boy.
Again Easter Eve had come. To

The Jewish outlook., 1906-06-08

The greatest honor the faculty Of the
University of Colorado can bestow IS
the degree of Doctor of Laws, and that
was conferred last Wednesday on Rabbi
w. S. Friedman, the beloved rabbi OF
Temple Emanuel of this city. The
honor accorded by the University OF Col
orado is an appreciation and an aclnowl-
edyment of the scholarly attainments
and literary accomplishments of the re-
cipient of the degree.
In bcstowing this honor DR.. Hellems,
for the regents and faculty Of the uni
versity, said in part:
THE degree of doctor OF laws, LL. d.,

feel, however, amply justified IN award

nents have benefited not only the an
cient religion to which he belongs but the
entire community. His career in Colo
RADIO has been marked by fidelity to high
ideals, and he has carried them out with
eminent ability. Every work for the
welfare of mankind finds him an enthu-
siastic supporter. We recognize the serv-
ices he has rendered for all creeds. His
eloouent voice has always rung out
against oppression, while pleading for
the larger life.

the academic department of the State
University.
Rabbi Friedman graduated from the
University of Cincinnati in 1889 with
the degree Of b. A., also receiving in the
same year the rabbinical degree from the
Union Hebrew College Of that city. He
accepted the pulpit of Temple Emanuel
in the following year. Since then he
has received many honors from his con-
gregation, from the Jewish people Of the
city and state, and from the state au-
thorities He is the founder of the Ma
tional Jewish Hospital for Consumptives
and president Of the State Board of
he was recently reelected for the second
year For the last ten years he was
vice president Of the Charity Organiza-
tions of Denver, also first vice president
of the Colorado Conference Of Charities.
He is vice president Of the Hospital Sat
urday and Sunday Association, and for
two years he occupied the chair Of He
brew in the University Of Colorado. He
is also connected with numerous other
charitable organizations. He is one of
the most active charity workers in Den
YER, and regardless of creed, he has never
neglected an opportunity of giving aid to
the needy.
The successful development Of the
Jewish charitable and communal insti-
tutions in the city is greatly due to the
unselfsh devotion and the spiritual
and mental effort Of Rabbi Friedman.

Emanuel in 1890 the congregation con-

lists to an alarming extent, especially
so in larger cities where competitent
ladies fit away time as if there were
no claims upon them in the busy
marts of life. There are persons
whom the stress of circumstances
compel to work, but the work is too
often done under protest. There is a
growing distaste tor housekeeping
While all honest labor Is honorable
there is nothing more so than the care
Of home.
The wages of women were never SO
high as now, yet 1t is almost i'm
possible to procure the services of a
good woman at any price. for the
reason that labor is looked upon as
degrading. Young women turn to all
sorts of office work, where snares and
temptations beset them, because they
can dress better and keep their hands
whittier than they can when doing
kitchen work.
The wives and mothers of a century
ago were proud to exhibit the result
of their industry in the manufacture
Of cloth and the making of garments
for their families. There is no call
for such work in our day, yet there
are enough calls to duty in every
home to employ the housekeeper.
Home to many women means nothing
more than laundry where they take
their clothes to be washed and
ironed; to the man a place to sleep
and eat, their evenings being largely
spent at clubs or billiard halls. The
old fashioned home keepers have be-
come almost a lost quantity. So.
cieties of various kinds occupy much
OF their time. The children are sent
to school ar the age Of six and the
mothers are at liberty to fit about
until they return at noon when the
lunch of food, prepared outside the
home, is placed before the family and
the duties until high twelve are dis
charged. The afternoons and even
ings are given to society work. OF
course this does not apply to all
homes. but there is general tendency
to neglect the claimsj Of the family
for outside pleasure. We have met
some women, who when asked If they
keep house, blushingly reply, I'VE do
light housekeeping because we dislike
boarding."
It is the person rather than the
occupation that adds dignity to labor.
There are those who can beautify the
most mental occupation or service and
there are others who can degrade the
most honorable calling.
The busy men and women of the
world are they who have attained to
greatness. Many such have endured
hardships and practiced rigid economy
to enable them to meet the demands
of large family and the greatest men
this country has produced have been
men who have labored with hands and
brain, after acquiring competency,
remembering the years that are gone,
admit that their working years were
their happiest years.
Honest poverty should be respected
and not scorned. It was in the. homes
Of the lowly that we oftenest find
Christ, when upon the earth. and in
our day it be truthfully said that
we meet Him there oftener than else
where.
