morning by a local man, who has
been more or less in politics. He
said it was respectfully dedicated to
"Dory" Strong:
The Lion and His Jackals-A Fable
A lion once had a number OF jack
ais. who were always Sinking at his
heels, doing his every bidding with
out question, picking up such scraps
as he chose to give them, licking his
paws-whimpering at his roar,
crawling on their bellies at his a
ENTHUSIASTICALLY singing his
praises, and ever stalking in his foot
steps. A lot of other independent
animals, disguested at such condi-
lions and who were down on all such
bosses, and this boss in particular.
took up the trail of this lion to run
him down. The lion, becoming weary
in trying to escape them, lost his
courage and fell exhausted, where
upon his own jackals, seeing his
helpless condition, fell upon him In
a body and tore him to pieces.
Moral-When followed by slaves,
don't lose your footing.

An incident unprecedented in the Bal
kan states occurred on the 23rd of May
at Belgrade. The King, who was accom-
panied by his prime minister. was pres
ent at the laying of the foundation
stone OF Il new synagogue, and himself
took part in the ceremony. His majesty
availed himself of the opportunity to
express in cordial terms his good wishes
for the prosperity of the Jews in his
kingdom. This is not the first time that
King Peter has identified himself with
a Jewish institution, for last winter he
honored with his presence the ball of the
Jewish Ladies Society in Belgrade 1t
is to the credit of Servia. whatever it's
shortcomings may have been in Other
respects, that it has Loyalty abided by the
stipulations of the Berlin treaty in T.
spect to the rights of the Jews. Indeed.
even before this obligation was imposed
on the country by that treaty, Jews had
been permitted to hold office in the state:
one. in fact was an under-secretarv for
foreign affairs
According to a special cablegram
from Berlin to the New York Times,
dated June 18th, private dispatches re-
ceived there from Odessa reports that
the plight of the local Jews is as desper
ate as it was before the last massacre.
The Black Hundred are assaulting the
Jews in the streets hourly, many are
wounded, and the hospitals are crowd
eel. The recrurescence of the frenzied
ant-Semitism is ascribed to the Gov
ernor, General Glagolow, who officially
declares that a Christian named Mep
nikoff. who was ostensibly attacked bv
the Jews, was tortured and scalped.
Mepnikoff's s own statements are known
