There will be dialogue and stage business pretty soon
When Jacob first began to compare the eyes of
needles with the camels in the Zoo he decided upon

three million dollar palace lot fronting on
Nabob avenue, city of New Bagdad, and began to feel
the mantle of the late H. A. Rashid descending upon
him. Eventually Jacob slipped the mantle under his
collar, tied it in neat four-in-hand and became

THE great city of Bagdad the Subway is caliph-
ridden. Its palaces bazaars, khans and byways
are thronged with AL Rashids in divers dis
euises seeking diversion and victims for their un
bridled generosity. You can scarcely find poor
beggar whom they willing to let enjoy his spoils
unsuccored nor a wrecked unfortunate upon whom
they will not reshower the of fresh misfortune
You will hardly find anywhere hungry one who has
not had the opportunity to tighten his belt IN gltt
libraries nor poor pundt who has not bushed at the
holiday basket of celery-crowned turkey forced re-
soundngy through his door by the eeemosynary press
So then, fearfuy through the Harunhaunted streets

Next, Jacob selected the best en-
dowed college he could scare up and
presented it with a 100000 labora-
tory. The college did not maintain
a scientific course, but it accepted the
money and built an elaborate lava
tory instead, which was no diversion
of funds so far as Jacob ever dis
covered.
The faculty met and invited Jacob
to come over and take his A B G de-
gree. Before sending the invitation
they smiled, cut out the G, added the
proper punctuation marks, and all
was well.
While walking on the campus be-
fore being capped and gowned, Jacob
saw two professors strolling nearby.
Their voices, long adapted to indoor
acoustics, undesignedly reached his
ear.
"There goes the latest cheUdlier
d'industrie,' said one of them, "to
buy sleeping powder from us. He
gets his degree tomorrow.

other. "Let's 'eave 'arf brick at

Jacob ignored the Latin, but the
brick pleasantly was not too hard for
him. There was no mandragora in
the honorary draught of learning that
he had bought. That was before the
passage of the pure food and drugs
act.
Jacob wearied of philanthropy on
a large scale.

he said to himself-"if if 1 could see
'em myself and hear 'em express
their gratitude for what l done for
'em it would make me feel better.
This donatin' funds to institutions

as dropping money into a broken slot
machine. -
So Jacob followed his nose, which
led him through unswept streets to
the homes of the poorest.
