Marrianes In Spain.

Though marriages In SPUN are often
arranged without the consent Of the
bride elect. law or custom gives the
Spanish woman the power Of appeal
ing to magistrate If she wishes to
escape from a union which is distaste-
full to her, and the magistrate may
take her from her fathers house until
she is of age and her own mistress,
while If she determines to marry
man of whom her parents disapprove
she may also place herself under the
protection Of the law, and she cannot
be deprived of her share of the family
estates. On reaching her majority she
enjoys the same privileges as her
brother with regard to property. She
may inherit. will, buy and sell. But
when she marries she again reverts to
the position Of minor, and her hus-
band has entire control Of her posses
sions. which he can squander without
rendering any account to her, though
she cannot spend penny Of her own
money without his consent. He may
desert her and her children without
mourning any punishment or much
public condemnation. A Spanish lady
confers on her husband the titles of
nobility and any privilege connected
Herewith she may possess at the time
of her marriage.-London Queen.

Has Right Hand Injured.

Bowman Perry, the twelve-year-old
son of L. H. Perry, had the misfor-
tune Sunday while hunting to have
his right hand mangled by the explo-
sion of a dynamite cap, necessitating
the amputation of part Of the thumb
and first two fingers. Mr.. Perry and
his family are located for the winter
at Pierre lodge, and on Sunday the
boy found cap which had been left
by workmen. Boylike he tried to ex-
plode the cap with a match. nr. Rob-
inson was called to attend him and it
was first thought the entire hand
would have to be amputated The
thumb was cut Off between the first
and second joints: the index finger
back of the second joint and the 9TH
err finger near the first joint. The
other parts of the hand were badly

enthusiastic interest in everything that
concerns the welfare of the Jew in the

the man who feels so strongly the ties

the Jew.
The moral life of the Jewish COM
munity is, perforce, receiving greater
attention and consideration today than
ever before in its history. The moral
life is an must be the basis of the re-

structure so magnifieently built up by
the Jewish people throughout their he

we have heard a rumor that all is not

It is after all the moral element
that counts in the making of man. Be-

justified viz: That we prize intellect

Bnai Birth Day was celebrated in
Houston Sunday night at Adath Yesh-
urun Synagogue by the three lodges
of which we are so proud. The pulpit
was very prettily decorated with palms
and ferns and with all the lights aglow
presented a holiday appearance. The
atmosphere was cold and the attend
ance (Which with more favorable
weather would undoubtedly have beel
larger was OF such proportions as to
be considered compliment under pre-
vailing conditions
At SIS Mr.. Jake Kahn, master OF
the evening, called for order and spoke
of the nature and purpose of the meet
ing. Rabbi w. Wilmer was then intro
duced and in behalf of his eongrega-
ton extended hearty welcome to the
assemblage.
Mr. j. l.. Aronson followed with a
paper in which he explained the use to
which the money of the Order was be-
ing put.
The address on Leo N. Levi, by Mr.
Meyer C. Wagner a prominent young
attorney of this city, proved very inter
esting and was complete in its eulogy
of a splendid character, never to be

which will appear in this or our next
issue, was delivered in very crediable
manner, and caused much envy on the
part of several of the young local as
pirants for oratorical honors
A monologue, "a Heart Rending AT
fair" by Mrs. Henry Cook, only occu-
pied the attention of the audience for
brief space of time and proved a
most pleasing deviation from the rest
of the program
The next on. the program, the orator
of the occasion, Rabbi William i'll.
Greenberg, of Dallas, Texas, was intro
duced and were applause permissible,
we are sure he would have been made
to feel it more than words can tell.
The Rabbi told first of the origin of the
order, how, when the call for aid came
from the oppressed Jews in Russia, six
ty-siX years ago, the leaders OF the
race established the B'nai Birth; how
this above all orders, was a democratic
order. in which all Jews entered, de-
spite differences of religious views
and which would be, perhaps, the only
means by which the differences be-
tween Jew and Jew might be obliter
ated and the race stand as whole.
at is surely the unifying spirit that
blesses; but how can a union or the
Jews be dreamed of when here are sc
many elements out of harmony Will
each other; when the Orthodox Jew
despises his Reform brother: wheI
even the German Jew considers him
self to be the superior of his Polisl
and Russian co-religionist and thu

on a high pedestal of his own creation

upon the rest of the Jews
because their blood is not as blue as
his. | believe there is as much preju-
dice existing in the German against
the Russian jew and in the Russian
against the German Jew as there is on
the part OF the non-JeW against all the
Jews. We are intolerant towards each
other for we do not respect each Others
convictions, nor do we sympathize with
what is best in each other.
What we need today is mutual JUS
tice and mutual charity before q union
is possible. If we have a thorough
grasp of the Jewish situation we Shall
not rest satisfied till we have embod
led some ideals in our lodge room and
the greatest of them shall be in ac-
cordance with the central representa-
tives in Israel and | would go further
than this and say that it be the pride
and privilege of the Order to count
each one Of the Sons of the Covenant
a worthy representative OF the Jews
and not one that we are ashamed of.
Personally this is. one of my greatest
concerns.
| am anxious for the Order, protein
tally so great, to stand not only for
the poor mans shelter not only for the
Orphans asylum. not only for the sick
mans hospital, but for his Temple, his
school, his university
Our first concern is to unity Israel
and break down the barriers, not neces-
sarily between Jew and non-Jew, but
rather the barriers that existed and
still exist separating the Jew from his
brother Jew; for the salvation OF the
Jew lies in standing together for prin-
ciples. The opportunity is ours. Rab-
hi Greenberg then spoke of the i'm
portance of making the club rooms of
the B'nai Birth the homes of the high
est of ideals of the race; of the import
ance of using them as educators which
would produce the highest type oil
Jews, both morally and intellectually
by the highest type of jew said
DIR. Greenberg, Il mean the man whose
life and thought is influenced by 9
strong reverence for his past and the
self-sacrificing spirit that animated his
heroic ancestors; the man who is not
weakling, not afraid Of the power Of
majorities, and significantly but con
temptuously silent when he ought t.
raise his voice on high, to right {
wrong done his race, by word or deed
The highest type OF Jew is the MAJ

ANOTHER ROUND UP
Dodge City Shriner's Looking Forward to
Another Large Crowd Of Noyice's
for Initiation

The ears OF the faithful are ever
open to the words Of wisdom, and liz
this connection it may be well to
state, that emboldened by the i'm
mense success OF their former ven
ture, and in compliance with the
seemingly ardent desire of numerous
prospective candidates, the Shriners
Of Dodge City and the territory con-
tingent thereto have in contemplation
the making OF another effort to induce
the Officials OF Isis Temple to round
up the customary herd Of drome-
dary's, and head them towards the
peaceful shores Of the mighty
"Arkansaw," there to chew the cud

might not be composed Of mixture
OF sand and sage-brush. while their
drivers, in their own quiet way, pay
due attention to the not very difficult
task OF making it interesting to som
hundred or more would be Sons Of
the Desert.
Owing to the extremity torrid
character OF the sands in this section,
it is not expected that this move will
be undertaken until somewhat later
in the season, when the fall zephers
have had chance to cool the parched
desert. This suggestion will, of
course, be solely and entirely in com
pliance with the desires Of the Nov
ices, who insinuate, that in order to
fully comprehend the beauties Of the
scenery through which they may be
conducted, it will be more pleasing to
their tired feet, and other portions OF
their anatomy. II the mercury is not
too high and the sands too hot, while
they journey down the Nile. Should
this plan be carried out due notice
will be several, and ample time given
to all interested parties, so that it can
be made another grand success.
