Unlike a Woman.

It is generally believed that woman's

men. as rule, are more inquisitive than
Martin Baddansld. of Pine Brook, N. J.,
who is known among his acquaintance
as the stolid Pole" Martin Is now in
predicament.
The other morning telegram was
brought to his house and a messenger
demanded a fee of 81, because he had 10
90 a distance OF four miles TO deliver il.
Martin blandly told the boy he had o.
dered no message and could see no rea-
son why he should pay 81 charges on
something he did not order and did not
want
The remarkable condition became the
subject OF village gossip and Martins
friends in great numbers fastened to him
to learn what action he would take. But
Martin remained firm. Some OF his IN
uuisitive friends told him the message
might be from some distant relative and
relate 10 a fortune which had been left
to him. or It might contain other equally
good news. Martin. however, after men
tally running over his list of relatives
and Of the men whom he befriended in
years gone by. could not recall a single
one apt to make him the subject Of any
munihcence.
Ali persuasion failed Martin is stu
in ignorance OF the contents Of that mes
sage. Here is one man who believes that

He had no dollars to invest in such

SURPRISING THE NEWS.
A Confession that Makes Clear the
Duty of Newspaper.

A Confession that Makes Clear the
Duty of Newspaper.
From an Exchange.
Some weeks ago. a young man, the son
OF respected parents. was arrested,
charged with passing a worthless check.
His father, with tears in his eyes. begged
that the name of his son be not given
publicity He promised to look after the
boy in the future. to see that he was kept
out OF temptation and that he lead an
upright life He pleaded long and earn
estly and at last prevailed
This week the same youth was arrested
again. He had swindled at least one poor
woman out Of the last few dollars she
had and which she needed to buy bread
for herself and her children. There are
reasons 10 believe that she was not his
only poor victim,
Publicity. In the first case. would have
saved the one woman whose case IS
known and presently It will develop that
it would have put other sufferers on
their guard
All OF which demonstrates that Il is the
duty OF a newspaper 10 print the news.
without fear or favor, no matter how
great the temptation 10 shirk that duty.
Now and then publicity does some in
jury TO individuals, but in nineteen out
Of twenty cases, suppression OF facts
opens the door to wrong and injustice.
This is not an idle lecture-it is a con-
fession.

Disposinc Of the RockefelIer Millions.

Evidently the Rockefeller millions are

Young Mr.. John D. Rockefeller Is sew

eous distribution OF the enormous sum
his father intends setting aside for char

Not only is this very much in keeping

synagogues and Population.

In 1906 there were, according to the
census. 1.769 Jewish congregations in this
country. Each of these may be said 10
have had an average membership of $50
persons. This would mean that less than
10000 Jewish men, women, and children
were connected with Jewish congregations
at that time. But IL may be conserva-
lively estimated that IN 1905 there were
no less than 100000 Jews in the United
States. and more probably the number
reached 2000.00o. Now these figures raise
the question as 20 the religious connection
OF these hundreds OF thousands of Jews
who were not connected with any congre-
cation. 1t would appear that one-half, II
not more, of the Jews in this country
have been lost hold Of by the synagogue.
though the figures may not be so large
There are more than 1.7s9 Jewish congre-
cations. but there are very few more ap-

worship in the chevras. and these evade

Nevertheless these figures indicate fairly

A Paper for RegEars.

In Paris. It has circulation only among

the largess deposited in their outstretched
hands by the charitably inclined The
sheet contains no foreign, political. or
financial news, and its type and paper
are or the cheapest sort II is usually
but single page IN size. yet to the street
beggar IL is invaluable. for IL contains
lists Of the marriages, baptisms, recep-
tions. and burials Of the day. These lit
tie items OF information are carefully
scanned by the mendicants, and at the
fixed hour Of the ceremony they make
their appearance in throngs on the scene
Of action. The happy pair. If it be 8
wedding or q baptism. are naturally IN
no mood TO refuse aims TO the poor. and
the crafty beggars likewise reap a YER

Food and drink are generally provided in

but little difficulty in effectively present
ing his physical as well as his financial
wants.

Some Animals. Tails.

The tails OF animals are not neees-

and many other creatures use their tails
as fly happers. Cats. squirrels. and such
like frequently twist them about their

the use of the tail to a fine art, for he
finds it an invaluable asset in stealing
jelly. oil. or cream out of jars or bottles
whose contents cannot be reached other

its tail as does a kitten, and It is said
that the marmoset uses its tail as a
