your father.
g What do you mean?' asked the
heir, getting ready to enter the car
riage. ..
Why replied the house-Jew,
when your father was a young man
when he went abroad he used to walk,
Then after he got a little older and walk
ing was not so easy he used the tram
cars in the streets. And when Later on
it was not easy for him to ride in the
cars with all the people he got him a
little wagon, with one horse, and he used
that until he died. But you, you are
much smarter than that. You have three
horses now. You save your legs. When
you are old you will be able to walk. -

Jewish Chautauqua Society

The Jewish Chautauqua Society has
made plans to begin it's fall work imme
diately after the holidays. The field sec
retary, Miss jeanette M. Goldberg, is at
present at her home in jefferson, Texas,
but will leave there Immediately after
the holidays for the first Of several ex-
tended tours in connection with our
propaganda work which has been
mapped out for the present season. The
first of these tours will take her princi
pally through the South and West. Re
quests are coming from numerous COM
mlnities, both large and small, for a
visit from the field secretary, in order
that a Chautauqua circle may be or
ganized in each Of these communities.
Miss Goldberg proposes to visit as
many of these towns as possible and or
ganize circles there, and will, in addi
ton, revisit all Of the communities in
which there are at present circles that
are in any way contiguous to the new
territory in which she will travel.
Plans are also being made bv the So
ciety for the inauguration Of a campaign
to insure a large fund to carry on the
field propaganda work which is meeting
with such remarkable success.
Communities not yet in communica-
ton with Miss Goldberg who wish her
assistance, should address her through
the home office, 9SS Drexel building.

Marcus flushed little and then said:
