Cheeriness,

C%heeriness.
Cheeriness is a thing to be more pro-
foundly grateful for than all that gen.
ius ever inspired or talent ever ac-
complished. Next best to natural,
spontaneous cheeriness is deliberate,
intended and persistent c%heeriness,
which we can create, can cultivate
and can so foster and cherish that
after a few years the world will never
suspect that it was not an hereditary
gift.-Helen Hunt Jackson.

COLORED MAN ROBBED.

Zechariah Reid, colored, of Round
Hill, Loudoun county, paid a visit to
Alexandria on Saturday evening aud
proceeded to the northeastern section
Of the city where he had his hair cut.
He later drank liquor in several places
and after making some acquaintance
was escorted to the southwestern section
OF the city. He subsequently reappear-
cd on north Fairfax street, by which
time he was too drunk for lobomotion
and collapsed in a doorway. Three
negroes-Joseph Carroll, Norman Will
lis, and another colored man named
Carter took charge Of Reid and carried
him to spot on which there is vigor-
GUS growth Of weeds. The drunken
man awoke several hours later and,
upon taking an inventory, found his
exchequer completely exhausted. On
the ground nearby he discovered two
pocketbooks which he carried, but upon
examination he found both had been
rihed. Reid reported the matter to the
police, and alleged he had fifteen dol
lars in the pocSetbook when he re-
turned to the northeastern section OF
the city. Carroll and Willis we're ar
rested and brought before the Police
Court this morning, but, as positive
evidence could be secured against them,
they were dismissed.

THE JEWISH NEW YEAR.

As has been stated, Rabbi Maurice
Krohngold, OF Cincinnati, will conduct
services at O'Clock this evening at
the Jewish Synagogue in observance OF
the feast of Rosh Hoshanah, the Jewish
New Year.
The observance of Rosh Hoshanah,
which is one of the oldest of the Jewish
feast days, marks the beginning OF q
series of holy days to be celebrated by
orthodox Hebrews during this month.
Yom Kippur, the hottest day in the
Jewish calendar, will be observed
throughout the world on October 13.
The day is one of atonement, and is
most strictly observed by total absti-
hence from food from shutdown to sun
down.
"Succoth, or the feast OF the Taber-
nacles, begins October Is and continues
for eight days, concluding with the
day OF solemn assembly,"
Though the celebration of Rosh Hos
hanah, which begins this evening, is a
solemn occasion, it is not mournful
one. The sounding of the shophar, or
rams horn, symbolizing the memorial
Of the blowing Of the trumpets, is in
cluded in the ceremonials OF the feasts.
