THE HEAD OF B'NAI BIRTH.

In this land of opportunity, where
The Jew has had a fair chance, I'M
hindered by nampering laws or bitter
feeling, the international Independent
Order of B'nai B'rit...-"Sons of the
Covenant grown to great size
and has proven of value in the swift
advance of the Jewish people. Five
years ago Adolf Kraus of Chicago, be-
came its head, and is about to begin
another term of five years in office.
The story of Adolph Kraus is the
story of hundreds of thousands of
Jewish immigrants who have made
this the land of their adoption. For
ty-five years ago he came to Amer
lea, boy of fifteen. He had little
money, and nothing before him but
the necessity of earning a living and
the chance to make good in coun-
try whose language and whose insti-
tutions were strange to him. At
twenty-siX, he had mastered the
language and the preparation neces-
sary for the practice of law, had pas
sed the state bar examination and
entered into the legal profession In
Chicago.
Since then his life has been one OF
steady progress In law he has achiev-
ed fame and wealth, he has held the
office of corporation counsel, presi-
dent OF the Chicago Board of Educa-
ton, and president of the Civil Service
Commission The duties of these
various positions and the eXactions of
a great law practice have seemingly
not affected his interest in matters
sociological, for he has always been
prominent in the management of Jew
ish hospitals and charitable institu-
lions, and has devoted much time to
the general welfare work which rich
man can always do in city like Chi
rago, without reference to race or
creed

JEWISH NURSES.

With the passing of Florence Night
ingale, the world sustains the loss of
one of it's greatest women. She it
was, above all others, who raised nurs-
ing to the dignity of an honored pro-
fession. Before her day, the sick
room was at the mercy of half-drunk-
en- creatures, who, with nothing else
to do and densest ignorance as their
portion, volunteered to care for the
food and the prospect of getting hold
of liquor On the field of battle, the
hospital accommodations were a re-
proach to humanity But the unselfish
worth of this one great woman chang
ed these conditions and mankind can
never acknowledge adequately the
debt of gratitude it owes her. May
her reward be commensurate with the
blessings she bestowed
But in her death we are compelled
to note that professional nursing es-
pecially that which takes women to
the battlefield, finds comparatively
few recruits from among the women
of our faith. Many contend, and with
justice that II there be one ayocation

peasant named Ali, according to
good Oriental chestnut, needing badly
a donkey for some urgent work, decid-

whose donkey Ali knew to be idle
in the stable that day.

Mehmed in reply to Ais request, "but

20 1t that we help in its highest and
best sense. No one denies that he
who does good receives much more in
return. Oftentimes the kindly word,
the understanding look, the sympa-
thizing pressure of a friendly grasp
brings the comfort. the blessed re-as-
surance to the troubled heart that
gifts of gold could never hestow.
So, at this season of the year, when
we are busy extending greetings to
friends and loved ones, let us not for
get our duty to these friendless ones
who will be made all the happier by
the exercise of little thought on our
part.
Make resolution, that on your
round of calls you will visit the homes
of a few of these wanderers. Search
them out and do your duty. The extra
trouble will intensity your own en-
joyment of the pleasures in store for
you.

NEW YEARS THOUGHTS.

NEW EAh . lflOtGfil
These days of Holy Convocation af-
ford ample opportunity for coming in
to closer relationship with the Holy
Presence. How many of us will be
brought fully face to face with our
unworthiness, our earthliness, our gen
eral unfitness to enter before the Great
Judge without adequate preparation?
III we have not taken advantage OF

higher call soon to be made on us, we
will indeed, accept with trembling
gratitude the services of the pleader

burr, To him is left the great task
of rescuing our spirituality from the

the business at the old stand" And

above another to which the Jewess
who invariably makes the excellent
mother, is fitted, it Is the care of the
sick To very high degree, she pos
sesses the qualities requisite in all
ideal nurse-keen perception-intui-
ton, sympathy, patience, gentleness,
love. Anyone who has been stretched
on a bed of sickness will admit that
these qualities are not only desirable
but almost indispensable in nurse.
But with all these natural qualifica-
tons, the fact still remains that the
Jewess has so far displayed but little
enthusiasm for this particular line of
endeaVor. The reason for this is not
so hard to find. She does not receive
hearty encouragement from the mas
culine portion of the family. Her
men-Iolks readily admit that women
do nobly in undertaking to anchor
ate the suffering of humanity through
nursing the sick, yet they are averse
to have their own sisters and daugh-
tiers take it up as their life-work The
Jewish mind is exceedingly conser4
vative, especially where its women
are concerned and Occidental contact
- has not yet nullilied its Oriental trend.
Therefore the Jew looks slightly
askance at launching his women into
the privacy which is incumbent in
nursing.

NEW YEARS VISITS TO THE I'M
MIGRANTS.

Where beats the Jewish heart that
Is not moved by recital of the hor-
hors of the evil destiny that forces so
many of our co-religionists to leave
the land OF their birth and seek to
make homes for themselves in
strange country Those who have
passed through this soul-racking or
deal, never forget it, The fortunate
ones who escaped the experience, are
nevertheless much impressed by the
tales of suffering.
And we who are already establish
ed must not let our good work stop
with the installation of these home
less ones in their new quarters, great
and unselfish as that work is. We
must not overlook the fact that these
hopeless ones no doubt feel entitled to
orr larger humanity, to our sympathies
to the heart-to-heart contact which in
fuses new life, to the fellowship which
brings peace beyond expression, A
cherry word may mean more to the
wonderers hungry heart than sack
of meal to his stomach. Those who
along life's road, have had the path
made smooth, should be careful how
they slight opportunities for rejecting
a little sunshine into lives otherwise
dark,

help right royalty, but let us see wen

Little Girl is Seriously Wounded.

Victoria Kinder, the twelve-year old
daughter of Charles Kinder, of Thomp-
son Valley, received a bullet wound in
the temple on last Monday evening as
the result of some reckless shooting on
the part of stranger giving his name
as Martin Long. Fortunately, how
ever, the bullet did not penetrate the
skull, being DETECTED, passing under
the scalp and was removed just back of
the ear. The wound is not considered a
necessarily dangerous one and the child
will in all probability recover.
Two men, Martin Long and Luther
Shumate-some say the latter's name is
Crewey-stopped at the Kinder home
about 700 p. m. on the evening of the
tragedy and inquired the way to Chat
ham Hill. They were given the desired
information, and few moments after
they had left the house several shots
were fired, one of which entered the
Kinder home with the results stated
above
The men were at once placed under
arrest by Jesse Creggar and Henry
Kinder and were detained until Sheriff
Harman and Sergeant Hagy from this
place arrived and took charge of them
When searched there were found on
them two pistols, two razors and a

Death Of Col. !. G. Witten,

Col. Thomas G.. Witten, an old and
highly respected citizen of this place,
died suddenly about 9 p. m. on last Sun
day in his 18th year. He had been fail
ing in health for some time, but the i'm
mediate cause of his death was heart
failure that followed a violent paroxyEm
of coughing.
Col. Witten had the distinction of be-
ing descendant of the first white set
tiers of Tazewell county. His great
grand father, Thos. Witten, left Fred
rlckton, Md, in III to settle at Grab
Orchard near what is now known as
Pisgah. The chimney of the old cabin
still stands on the site of the old home.
During his residence at this point the
last battle to be fought between Indians
on Virginia soil took place on the side
OF Rich Mountain between the Shawnees
and Cherokees. Thos. Witten the first,
furnished the Shawnees with powder
toward the close of the battle which en-
abled them to drive out their oil time
enemies, the Cherokees, and for this
act he and his descendants ever after
wards enjoyed the friendship and pro-
lection of the Shawnees.
Col. Wltten was a son of j. Wilk
Witten for many years one of the most
popular and prominent citizens of the
county.
Col. Witten was one of our pioneer
merchants and his son, Wilk, who sue
ceeded him in business, is still one of
our most prominent merchants.
The funeral services were held from
his late residence on Main Street Tues
day morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by
the Rev. E. E. Wiley.
Col. Witten was the oldest member
of Tazewell Lodge, No. 62, A. F. and
A. NJ, and was laid to rest in the JEFF
fersonville Cemetery with the beautiful
ceremonials of that order Many hand
some floral pieces testified to the es-
TEEN in which his friends and neighbors
held him
Col Witten is survived by a son,
Wilk, a grandson, Jerome Kroll, three
sisters; Mrs. Mary Peery, OF Tazewell;
Mrs. Pauline Kelly, of Bluefe!d, and
Mrs. Louisa Hicks, of Pulaski, and two
brothers, Robert and Jno. H., residents
of this county.
