and recognition of the rest of our So
cieties. We have also the pledge OF
the worthy Rabbi Fox, of the Bethel
Congregation, to obtain new members
from his congregation, and we shall
trust his words. The appeal Rabbi
Fox made several weeks ago on behalf
of our Relief Society, caused a certain
gentleman to donate to our society the
sum of $4,000, with a promise to do
something else for our society. Dur
gave us $4,000 1t is by such recogni-
ton that our Relief Society has gained
a very strong foundation, although its
financial standing is now not very sat
isfactory, as you will see from the fig
ures given below There remains how
ever, for me to make to you the fol-
lowing recommendations and appeals:
The immigration through Calves
ton which is at present very large,
will continue to increase as long as
the outrageous acts of the blood-thirs-
ty beast, the Russian Government will
continue. Our brethren are driven
from their homes in bands of hun.
dreds and thousands and we, as usual,
will be expected to receive our share
of immigrants, and their first stop will
lie at the doors of the Relief Society.
We should not forget that these help
less people are our brethren who come
to us for the same reason we came
years ago and in the self same mood
of depression that we were. We should
stretch out to them our friendly hand,
We should help them with advice and
kind deeds as wa have done till now.
We appeal to the more wealthy men,
bers of our society to raise their dues,
as our work for the ensuing year will
require larger funds.
With the increasing of the immigra-
ton there arises another important
problem, which concerns the good rep
utation of our family standing, and
which | would not mention before the
worthy gathering, if it would not
come in contact with our society. We
believe that it is time for our Soci-
ETY. to go hand in hand with all other
organizations to warn our people not
to come into contact with a certain
class of base degenerates whose bust
ness is dishonoring our family status
| hope that all the Jews of Texas will
unit against these bandits and place
them under arrest, one by one, as was
done in one case in Kansas City. We
want to impress that the Relief Society
has as it's aim to help those who can
not be aided otherwise To our regret,
not all of us understand this aim,
and often recommend to the Relief So

Burr's Self Control.

Aaron Burr was by nature and train
ing a man of extraordinary self con-
troll. He allowed no circumstances to
throw him off his balance. An anec-
dote told by Rufus Choate to Richard
II. Dana, recorded in Mr.. Dana's "Dia-
~" illustrates the callousness which
aided Burr so greatly in controlling
himself. Several years after the death
of Hamilton, killed by Burr In a duel,
Burr visited Boston, and Mr.. Devereux
of Salem paid him some attentions.
The visitor was taken to the Boston
Atheneum, where, while the two men
were walking through the gallery Of
sculpture, Mr.. Devereux happened to
catch sight Of a bust Of Hamilton.
The thought flashed across his mind
that Burr might not care to be con-
fronted with the sight Of the features
of the man he had slain. But no. Burr
was undisturbed. He also espied the
bust. and, although Mr.. Devereux had
instinctively turned away, he walked
I'D to 1t and said in loud tone: "Ah!
Here is Hamilton Then, passing his
fingers along certain lines OF the face,
he added, There was the poetryw
Hamilton's contemporaries gave him
credit for possessing a poetic mind.

When Beau Nash and Wesley Met.

Beau Nash, though but an indiffer-
ent churchgoer not only went to hear
Whitefleld preach, but attended a serv-
ice at Bath held by John Wesley. The
incident is related in Southey's Life
Of Wesley"
"While he was preaching this re-
markable parsonage entered the room,
came close to the preacher and de-
handed Of him by what authority be
was acting. Wesley made answer,
by that of Jesus Christ, conveyed to
me by the present archbishop Of Can
terbury, when he laid his hands upon
me and said "Take thou authority to
preach the gospel Nash then af-
firmed that he was acting contrary to
the laws. Besides said he, your
preaching frightens people out Of their
Wits Sir replied Wesley, did you
ever hear me preachT No. said the
master of ceremonies. How, then,
can you judo Of what you never

Damascus. a Garden City.

Damascus is a garden city touched
by the great desert. Under its roses
one feels the sands. Beside its trem-
bling waters one dreams Of the trem-
bling mirage. The cry Of its muezzins
seems to echo from its mosque towers
to that most wonderful thing In nature
which Is "God without man." The
breath Of the wastes passes among the
poplars as that Bedouin boy passed
among the merchants when he came
and when he went In Damascus one
hears the two voices. And when one
looks from the sacred mountain upon
that city Of dream, Graded among the
woods, one sees far of the tawny be-
ginnings Of that other magic which
looks out from the Bedouin's eyes.
And though perhaps with the pilgrims
from Samarkand one loves to rest be-
side the fountains under the hedges
Of roses, one Is aware Of the other
love. intercourse with which has made
Damascus an earthly paradise for
them and for you.-Robert Hlchens in
Century.

The Power OF Napoleon.

The desperate struggle to do some
thing worth while Is the very thing
which draws out our reserve forces
and develops latent power, says ORR
son SWEET Marden in Success Maya
zine. Without this struggle many peo-
pie would never have discovered their
real selves. Napoleon was never SO
resourceful, never so level headed, new
er had that vigorous mental grasp,
was never able to make such powerful
combinations, as when he was driven
to desperation. 1t was when all
bridges were burned behind him and
there was no possibility Of retreat that
the possible Napoleon came to the res
cue. Napoleon said Of his great gen.
eral Messena that he never showed
his mettle until he saw the wounded
and dead falling all around him In bat
tie. Then the lion In him was arous-
ed, and he fought like demon.

To Save You Time.

Have you ever noticed that when
reading you waste a certain amount
Of time In turning from the end OF
one line to the beginning Of the next?
Long ago, when the world was not so
busy as now, columns were Of a much
greater width. Since then they have
been narrowed more and more.
OF course in an hours reading little
time is lost, but In a lifetime It is like
" to be considerable. Realizing this.
some one has suggested that type
should be arranged as follows. You
read to the end of the line, drop the
eyes and read backward:

0rinin of Kills.

1t will doubtless surprise many
Scotchmen to learn that the kilt as at
present worn is only a modern fancy
costume and is not Of Scottish origin
at all. The honor OF its invention Is
due to two Englishmen-an army tailor
who accompanied General Wade's
forces to Scotland in 17l9 and Thorn
as Rawlinson, overseer of some iron
works in Glengarry's country. For
more than a century previously. IN
deed, the tartan plaid had been the
common garb of the highanders, but
It was all In one piece, wound In folds
around the body. leaving the knees
bare. Prior to the adoption Of the tar
tan. which probably took place about
the close of the fifteenth century, the
long. loose saffron colored skirt, the
real "garb of old Caul." was the high
land dress. 49, London Mail.

Baker, of this place.
"About a month ago was in very pad
health. was so weak and nervous thai
was not able TO do my homework.
"My husband bought me one bottle OF
Cardui, the woman's tonic. | took II &C
cording to directions and now | am in
good health.
al think Cardui is fine tonic for weak
women"
And you are not the only lady who
thinks SO, Mrs. Baker.
Thousands, like you, have written 70
tell OF the wonderful benefit Cardui has
been to them.
Cardui contains no minerals, or other
powerful drugs. II contains no glycerln
or other mawkish- tasting ingredients.
II is Just a pure, natural extract OF
natural vegetable herbs, that have been
found to regulate the womanly funcuons
and strengthen the female system.

JERSEY CITY CLAN-NA=GAEL
TO OBSERVE EMMET'S BIRTH.

JERSEY CITY, March 1.-THE Wolfe
Tone Club, Clan-na-Gael. of this city,
will commemorate the 1920 anniversary
of the birth of Robert Emmett Sunday
evening in the Academy of Music by
a well-selected program of Irish music,
song and oratory. The birthday of
Robert Emmett is adopted by the irish
Nationalist throughout the country as
a day to show remembrance of the
motherland and to renew fealty to the
principles and policies to which the
patriot martyr devoted his life in his
efforts to establish Ireland a republic.
Michael Conway, former member Of
Parliament, but who resigned in pro-
test to the policy of the English gov
eminent in Irish affairs, will be the
speaker of the evening. Mr.. Conway
is a journalist and author and is widely
known throughout Ireland and the
United states as a writer on Irish ques-
tons, as well as a fluent and forceful
speaker.
