O4Ie AuUience.
The orthodox Jews of the city have
rented the Red Mems Hall on Madison
Avenue in which to celebrate their re-
ligious holiday. This hall had to be
rented because their usual place of
meeting is too small to accommodate
the large number expected to celebrate
the holiday.
On September 16 and II the Jewish
New Year will be celebrated, and on
September 20 the Day of Atonement
will be observed in connection with a

brought the fishing tackle up from

always fled his own hooks; carried
a file in his pocket for Just that;
always had that file with him and
always fled his own hooks. When
he'd got a hook fled he'd test it by
hanging it on his nose. He'd tip
his head back Just little and Just
rest the point of the hook on his
nose, and if it slid off he'd sharpen
it some more, but if it hung there
he knew it was all right"

Not Her First Choice.

BE was excessively fond of dane
ing, says a writer in the Utica Trib-
une; also he was very clumsy, and,
like a good many other people, he
was fondest of doing the thing he
did worst.
She, too, was excessively fond Of
dancing, with the difference that
she was the personifcation Of
grace. But now she was suffering.
Already he had torn her train with
his ungovernable feet, and her dain-
ty slippers bore the marks of his
shoes. At last she could stand it
no longer.
"Let Us SIT out the rest of this
Dance" she suggested. 81 am tired"
He was reluctant. Il thought
you said you could die waltzing?"
he said.
$50 I could" she replied, 'but
there are pleasanter ways of dying
than being trampled to DEATH"

Ensland,s Lotteries.

It was not until 1926 that gov
eminent lotteries were abandoned
in Britain. For the thirty years
preceding an average annual profit
of over s1,7s5.OO0 had accrued, one
contractor alone spending $4,000
in advertisements in a single year.
The money thus raised was usually
for a particular purpose, such as
the Improvement of London, the
purchase of Tomkins' picture gal
lery or the repair Of various har-
bors.- From the seventeenth CEN
fury to the reign of George ". the
crown repeatedly drew considerable
revenues from such sources.

VIVA. He Used.

BE is an urchin of possibly SIX,
with red hair and impish face.
In the New jersey suburb where he
lives his name is a synonym for
general deviltry, despite parental
efforts A few days ago an irate
matron sent note saying that her
daughter had been shocked by the
urchin's bad language.
Tearfuly and somewhat helpless
ly a flushed young mother com
forted a placid small boy. "What
shall I do with you, SOM" she
asked 'FWhat bad language can
you have used that Mrs. Blank
should forbid you to play with Nell

RusEdn IN his Essay on War"
says: It is wholly inconceivable to
me how well educated princes who
ought to be of all gentlemen the
gentlest and Of all mobiles the most
generous and whose title of ROYALTY
means only their function of doing
every man Ighf-how these, I
say, throughout history should so
rarely pronounce themselves on the
side Of the poor and of Justice, but
continually maintain themselves
and their own interests by oppres-
SION of the poor and by wrestling of
justice, and how this should be ac-
cepted as so natural that the word
1oyalty,' which means faithfulness
to law, is used as if it were only the
duty of people to be loyal to their
king and not the duty Of a king to
be infinitely more loyal to his peo-
pie.
Glow it comes to pass that a sea
captain viii die with his passengers
and lean over the gunwale to give
the parting boat its course, but that
a king viii not usually die with,
much less for, his passengers
thinks it rather incumbent on his
passengers IN any number to die for
him-think, I beseech you, of the
wonder of this!
~The sea captain, not captain
by divine right, but only by the
companys appointment; not a man
of royal descent, but only a plebe-
ian who can steer; not with the
eyes of the world upon him. but
with feeble chance, depending on
one poor boat, of his name being
ever heard above the wash of the
fatal waves; not with the cause of
a nation resting on his act, but
helpless to save SO much as child
from among the lost crowd with
whom he resolves to be lost, yet
goes down quietly to his grave rath-
er than break his faith to those
few emigrants.
EBut your captain by divine
right, your captain with the hues
of hundred shields of kings upon
his breast, your captain whose every
deed, brave or base, viii be illumi-
mated or branded forever before un-
eseapable eyes of men, your cap
tain whose every thought and act
are benefcent or fatal from sun ris-
ing to setting, blessing as the sun
shine or shadowing as the night
this captain as you find him in his
tory for the most part thinks only
how he may tax his passengers and
sit at most ease in his cabin"

DOGS of constantinopIa.

The dogs Of Constantinople are
held in an almost superstitious re-
gard by the more fanatical natives,
and every suggestion for their ex-
termination sets the bazaars in a
ferment. In the reign of Murad
H. the destroyer of the janizaries,
an Enghshman, probably intoxicat-
ed, was bitten by one of these
usually gentle creatures, and the
ambassador represented the matter
so strongly that the sultan signed
an order for the Punishment of
some thousands to the Princes IS
lands, or to such of them as were
uninhabited. Boatload after boat
load was dispatched, some founder
ing in deep water, others going
ashore on the Asiatic side. The
few which reached the islands made
such a terrific noise as soon as they
felt the pangs of hunger that the
natives of STEAMBOAT clamored for
their deliverance, and as the sultan
could not afford to override the
wish of the people the dogs were
brought back amid general rejoic-
mgs.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Its Fault.

'Have you finished designing
that new model corset for next sea-
SOM" asks the manager of the
factory.
"Yes SIR" answers the head de-
signer. 'Here it is"
he shows the manager a corset
that does not come below the knees,
does not reduce the form to the
contour of the section of stove
pipe-in short, a corset that allows
its wearer to walk, sit, eat and
otherwise be natural.
ut won't do" says the manager
shortly. Eve wouldn't sell dozen
Of 'em in as many years. It's too
sensible. Judge.
