A sportinq Judge.

After Baron Martin, who possessed
great horror of sporting prophets, >
had become partially deaf he was on
one occasion trying racing case, an
exercise of his functions he reveled in
One of-the counsel engaged in it was
named Stammers, solemn, formal,
sententious parsonage, who seldom
made speech without quoting pas
sages from Scripture. In addressing
the jury he> was about to pursue his
old habit and got as far as "as the
prophet says" when the judge inter
posed:
aDon't trouble the jury, Mr.. SIAM
mers, about the prophets. There is not
one Of them who would not sell his ia
ther stxpenny worth of halfpence."
.tBut, my lord" said Stammers in a
subdued tone, sI was about to quote
from the Prophet jeremiah"
@Don't tell me-" replied the baron.

How the Poet Banker Paid Fer an
outburst Of Temper.
Edmund Clarence Stedmap, the poet
banker, had high temper and was Sex
ceedingly sensitive. One day, exas-
.perated by ehe Grass stupidity of a
servant, he threw book at his head.
The boy ducked, and the book sailed
out Of the window. AfterSit hurried
the menial, but he was too late; a
passerby had picked 1t up and walked
of with 1t. Stedman began to wonder
What book he had thrown away and
to his horror discovered that it was a
quaint and rare little volume for which
he had paid $50 His chagrin was in
tense,sas the work was almost unique
and the prospects Of replacing it We're
remote.
Some time afterward when browsing
In second hand bookshop our sple-
netic poet banker perceived to his great
delight copy of the very book he had
lost. He asked the price. Its very.
rare" replied the dealer, @but as you
are an old customer I'll let you have it
for $40. Nobody else could have it
for less than s6o." StedmaD gladly
paid the $40. got home with his treas
ure as soon as possible and sat down
to gloat over it. card dropped out

Distinguishing Msrk Thae Was 3

Distinguishing k.ark Thae Was Re-
quired by European Countries.
To the Jews OF today it is fairly well
known that their ancestors IN Europe
we're forced to put up with a great
deal of humiliation, One of the most
insulting methods was to require the
wearing of badge which would
stamp tie wearer as an "infidel Jew"
The wearing of badge was made q
general order throughout Christendom
in the year 1915, but it must have been
required in isolated places before that
date.
The most usual form of badge was
that Of ring of distinctive color at
tached to the upper garment. ANY one
of French-Jewish ancestry will know
that his forbears wore a ring Of this
sort, varying in size and in color-now
red, now yellow and white, according
to the Whims Of municipalities ana
monarchs. 1t was generally worn upon
the breast, and at one time it was Or
dered to be worn likewise upon the
back, so that Jew might be known
s.fore and aft" When q Jew was
found without the badge, he was fined
Evidence of the wearing Of this badge
is found as late as 1892 in France. The
forefathers Of the Spanish Jews car
ried a yellow and red badge-the men
on their breasts, the women on their
foreheads. The wearing of the badge
was not so prevalent in Italy, but the
municipalities almost all required
1t. The badge was known as the
80" from its shape, resembling prob
ably tie ring in France. English Jews
should feel the distinction Of hayins
had a peculiar sort OF badge forced
upon their ancestors 1t was first In
the form of bandi first white and
then yellow. and later Jews were re
quired to wear badge with the shape
of the tables of the law. In Germany
yellow badges were wcrn. bit here the
hat was the chief means of identifca
ton. In Austria and in Poland there
are few traces Of the badge. but in
Hur -ary Jews wore badge on their
lc, rcast. 1t is interesting to know

houses Of Jews are marked with

Where politeness Doesn't Pay

French and German hats" said a
halter, "only last half, as long as ours.
1t isn't theepoor quality Of the hats,
but the fine quality Of the manners,
that causes this. Lifting the hat in sal
utation is the hardest work that falls
on the headpiece, and the French and
Germans lift it to men and women
equally, thus giving it twice as much
labor as we do. Naturally, then, it
wears out twice as quickly. 1t goes in
the brim in no time over the water."-

III. To Men With Wives Who Sew

q There are certain things that men would
better leave alone-the wives know more
about them than you do.
y This is probably true of sewing machines,
and yet while you may cheerfuIIy let your
wife make small mistake, you would dis
like to see her spend many dollars for a
sewing machine that might be next to use
less within a year.
y Women seek bargains even more than
do men, and the makers and sellers of
poorly constructed sewing machines use a
cheap price To tempt trade because they
dare not make true statement of quality
y Therefore, urge your wife at least to learn
about the Singer before she spends her
money for a machine which appears to be
bargain because offered at a lower price
y Singer reputation is backed by fifty years
experience; Singer sales exceed the sales
of all others combined.
