Petty, petty souls!
Even in their laughter each sought
to hide himself from-himself
Only half and hour during the week
does one appear to notice the other,
that is between eleven and twelve
o'clock Saturday when Brother Weis-
berg-a Jew whose features proclaim
his ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and distributes
among the workmen the envelopes
which contain their weekly salaries.
He saunters among the workmen with
a beatific smile on his face and lays
down beside each workman the en-
velope. Then look they covetly at each
other, these two unofficial" ones and
their countenances radiate with an ex-
preston which seems to say: zone of
our own, Brother Jew!" And they
look at each other more boldly, freely
and proudly-a feeling of companion
ship hovers around them
Thus do l watch this tragic comedy
of these two unofficial" Jews. Some
times I attempt to justify them with
the excuse that fellow must do everv
thing to make a living; then again 7
have a great contempt for them, par
ticularly when they laugh at McCar-
thys anti-Semitic jokes.

advertises; some answer but not
enough. Among those who apply is
Jew with yellow-tangled beard and
short7sighted eyes.
He enters with his ware under his
arm, removes his hat, stops with
troubled look on his face, and gazes
in the direction where Mccarthy
stands. When the workmen catch
sight of the yellow tangled beard,
every one bursts forth in laughter.
'Ha, ha, hal" and "he, he, he," is
heard on every side.
And our unofficial Jews? When
they first catch sight of the Jew, they
become confused somewhat fright
ened, but soon the lean young fellow
regains control over himself and calls
out: "Soloman Isaac! Jesus Christi"

Mccarthy seats the new Glands"
around the table, and when he has
finished this action he lets his eyes
rest upon the Jew with his yellow, tan
gled beard, still standing near the,
door in an entreating attitude. The
foreman passes his hand around
his clean-shaven chin and pretending
to initiate a Jews speech, calls out:
Hello, Whiskers! Work? Haven't
any Go to Jerusalem"
Whereupon he commences to laugh
at his own joke, his whole body shakes
with the exertion of laughing, his rud

eyes fill with tears, and he roars-

the disheveled Jew near the door, who
was the cause of it all, smiles too, with
an entreating, troubled smile.
When everything has quoted down,
he bows deeply, says goodbye" bows
again, and sidles out of the shop like
a thief

forth.

joyful smile, while his near-sighted
eyes beam radiantly: con my word 1
make cigar, beauty"
And fearing the foreman might not
understand him, he gesticulates with
all his five fingers and repeats:
"a cigar, first rate"
The two unofficial" Jews seeing
that he is engaged, look around con-
fusedly at him. 1t is destined that
he should be seated near me. He sits
down and works with zeal, his near
sighted eyes fairly glued to the table.
At twelve o'clock, when all the
workmen sit down to their dinners, he
takes out from under his chair, par
eel wrapped in paper, puts his old and
dusty hat upon his head, mumbles a
blessing inaudibly, and begins to eat.
He eats rapidly cake made of cheese
and washes it down with milk from
a bottle All the while his eyes re-
main riveted on the cigars which he
had made 1t can be observed that he
is counting them mentally Then his
eyes wander toward his neighbors,
they rest on me, and he recognizes in
stantly that l am a Jew. His face
beams and when l reply, Yes" he in
quires about the shop, work and so

Suddenly Treitels eyes fall upon the
lean young man, who is sitting oppo-
site him and eating his dinner. He
literally jumps into the air. and calls
out:

A chill passes visibly through the
mans body, the morsel Of bread which
he had just taken into his mouth falls
out unchewed He looks around
quickly with his shifting eyes, but it
happens that no one had observed any
thing, as the workmen were all pre-
occupied with their own thoughts
or were reading the papers. The
only one who appears cognizant of the
situation is the heavy-set young man.
His head is bowed closely toward the
table, while his body shakes with

The CruciAx In the Banana.
 The increasing popularity of the ba- mana in this country recalls a curious reference to the fruit to be found in an old volume entitled '"The Chase of Time In the First Age" divinely ham, dled by Thomas Peyton Qo2O. In the eighty-frst stanza occurs the follow ing:
 A cucumber much like 1t is in show. Of pleasing taste and sweet delightful
 hue;
 If with knife the fruit in two you reave. A perfect cross you shall therein perceive.
 In the Canary islands and in Brazil it was regarded as an affront to the Saviour to cut the banana with knife, as 1t revealed the crucifx. But in or der to see this clearly it is necessary to cut the fruit when it first com mences to ripen or, if ripe, immediate ly after it Is taken from the plant London Standard.

ssWeak Hearts.o

It is harmful thing for any one to coddle his heart when there is no dis ease, and think we (the medical pro fession) are far too Instrumental In aiding and abetting this. We do far more good by pronouncing people sound, even if out of health, and thus sending them forth with renewed hope, than by keeping them in the chains of uncertainty and nervous dread, than which nothing can be more crushing to the utility of life or more harmful to the chance of regaining health.
 I know of no symptoms of weak heart" Yet the use of the term leads either to a state of nervous dread from which recovery is most difficult or else to a life of luxurious idleness, which, by the excavation it causes, is likely sooner or later to be precedent to the end it would seek to avoidL-Dr. James Goodheart of London

MISSOURI" IS A
 THRILLING PLAY

Why in the drama of the country is the man who wears city clothes all ways the villain? Why does the hero- inc always begin by falling in love with the villain when every woman in the audience has him sized up the mo- ment his beetle brow glistens under the spot light? Ask Augustus Thomas, the man who wrote Missouri, which is the play this week at Poli's. Thom- as is not only a playwright, but he is the man who seconded the nomination of William Jennings Bryan at the Denver convention, and he knows. But in the meantime, see the play. It was one of the hits in New York a while back.
 The play tells a story that is old, yet ever new, of the honest Missourian sheriff who loved and fi:.ally won; of the express robber whom the girl low ed and yho almost got her; of the 'tpa'' and the ''ma", the country lawyer and the ct cetera of rural drama. It's great. especially the way John Ince does the sheriff. Ince is back in rough clothes and rough and ready manners and he's good again. Society "dramer' Is not so much for Ince, who looks best and acts best in a soft shirt, with a low collar. Let those who have fol- lowed his work throughout the season say if he isn't good now. Every wo- man in the audience sees at once that he is the fellow. Jim Radburn by name. whom the leading lady ought to
 
 But if she did of course there would be no play.
 Miss Fleming hasn't so much to do. What she has to do is well done. But her simple gown of a-country girl = with-a-real seminary gave her an opportunity to look rather un- usually pretty and unsophisticated, so that nobody demanded more lines for the part. Miss Patty Allison as Liz beth was back to a role for which she is peculiarly fitted. Thomas Williams, as Dave, was unusually sincere in his conception of his part and may lay the flattering junction to his soul that the audience was with him. It would be really unjust not to say that MT. Scott Siggins. as Joe Vernon, the big black smith, and father of course to the heroine, was convincing and thorough. The staging of the play is well done This Is especially applicable to the scene in the blacksmith shop, which shows a real forge, a real fire. and the giant blacksmith welding steel tire. which he shrinks onto its wheel exact ly as the job is done in the village blacksmith shop.

THE ROWLAND DRY GOODS co.
Day Dreaming.

It Is much easier to fancy what we should like to have, what position we should like to fill and how we should act if different circumstances sur rounded us than it is to put forth the efforts and self denial necessary to make such attainments. A proportion of life Is consumed in this manner. This habit is justly called day dream ing. for as in sleep the brain, deprived of the power of will to direct 1t, weaves cobwebs that the first breath of consciousness dispels, so in this list less condition the mind, uncontrolled and unguided, brings forth spacious fallacies that reason, when fully aroused, will utterly dissipate. These day dreams are sometimes defended on the ground that if useless they are at least harmless; that if they confer no benefit they infiict no injury. This, however, cannot be the case Nothing occupies so neutral a position. Use lessness is of itself an injury, but be sides this habit of idle reverie pro- duces positive evils. Valuable time is wasted, energy is frittered away, the mind is enfeebled, the activities are discouraged, the present active life is rendered tame and insipid.i

BANQUET MARKS CLOSE OF TRADE
 SCHOOL TERM
Total Enrolment for Day and Night Sessions Was
 182-Technical Education
Given.

Tonight marks the closing of the Y. M. c. A. trade school after a most prosperous year. A banquet will be held in the banquet room and ladies' parlor of the Y. M. c. A. building. at which several well known speakers will address the young men, among whom are: George B. Hodge, secretary of the international committee of the Y. M. c. A. which has charge of all the educational work done in this country; {; Ex-Mayor Farnsworth of New Haven; E. F. Bullard, who will represent the Manufacturers' Association, and A. w. Burritt. who will speak of the building trades.
 A radical change was made in the school at the beginning of this year. a movement which was fostered by the Manufacturers Association of this city. Although Bridgeport has long been a city of industrial importance there has never been a. public trade school here to which the young men who work in the factories might go and receive instruction. Industrial education has made little progress in Germany, and England. Some of the larger concerns like the General Eaec- tric of Lynn. Mass, have what are known apprenticeship schools where their employees may spend several hours a day in receiving instruction. Conditions were not such in this city as to permit the manufacturers to fol- low this idea, but the trade school has proved an excellent substitute.
 There are now 47 boys from the six teen largest factories in the city at tending the school, partly on the time of the company for which they work and partly on their own time. These boys are divided into three groups some coming in the morning between 10 and 12. others from Loo to 800 p. m. and the last group from 400 to 6:0C p. m. The classes have been in charge of MT. Broadhead, who is graduate of Lehigh and who has much practical experience with the Bethlehem Steel Go. of Pennsylvania The work has consisted mainly of mathematics. draw ing and practical shop problems. The night school also teaches these sub- 5ects and has a course in business pre- paration. The total enrolment of both the day and night schools is 1S2.
