Says It's a Graft

We haven't had much to say on

selfish politicians who cannot be

The law requires the election
to be advertised in a Republican
and a Democratic paper. Instead
of inserting 1t in this paper. the
advertisement was placed in a
small paper with a restricted
circulation, The Republican has
a county. wide circulation and the
price would have been the same.
OF course we hadn't offered to
divide. On this principle the

building iworth less than half a
million.

very liable to be a graft.

Didn't Sink The Maine

Washington, July 5.-The
loss OF the battle ship Maine was
caused by the explosion OF her
three magazines. No such effect
as that produced upon the vessel
could have been caused by an
explosion from without. Such is
the opinion OF Gen. William II.
Bixby, chief Of engineers, United
States Army, who has returned
from a personal inspection Of the
work OF raising the Maine. A
week ago General Bixby said
that the secret OF the sinking of
the Maine never would be known.
General Bixby said that a
portion OF the deck over the
magazines was blown upward
and laid backward, and there
were numerous condition Of the
hulk which proved this. No
explosion from the outside, said
the general, could have brought
the same result.
While inspecting the wreck,
General Bixby prodded around
the bow OF the vessel. He found
by his soundings that at least
two.thirds Of the bow was alb
solutely wrecked. The sides had
been practically blown away and
were buried in the mud. This,
he said, showed conclusively that
the wreck Of the Maine was caus.
ed by an explosion within.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, JUNE |, 1911

If they divided the six years in two,
one giving over half and the other
taking it, so to speak but, neither
party would agree to this, and he
could only wait until they all got
tired arguing, when he hoped to be
able to go on with his reading.
Youdalle was bitterly disappointed.
He went home muttering angrily. He
did not hesitate to tell Chana what
her plan had come to, and what the
merchants were really like.
Yet, in spite of everything, You
dale returned to the field of battle
at the first opportunity. He found
only a few men in the House Of
Learning on the occasion of his sec
ond visit. They were divided into lit
tie groups, talking quickly while at
the head of the table several men
were playing chess. 1t was a half
holiday for the students and they had
all-the whole twenty of them-be
taken themselves to the woods to gath
er nuts.
Youdale soon found himself deep
in conversation with man who dealt
in rabbit skins. Yossel the Long One,
an overgrowh young man with grave
countenance and a short reddish
beard. Youdalle piled him with ques
tons about business, at first cautious
ly but later openly, candidly and fear
lessly. He felt toward Yossel as if
he were his elder brother, talking mat
ters over with him in half patronizing,
whollw confidential fashion. He open
ed his heart to him telling him of
his circumstances, his work and his
ambitions, explaining to him in detail
how much it cost him and his wife
to live each week, to the very kopek.
More than this, he told him how much
money he had hidden away in the
bottom of the old oak linen chest
a secret he had never divulged to
his own wife, less to a stranger
ITO become a merchant" said Yos-
sci in repy to the question Youdalle
had put to him, you can either go
about to markets and fairs with your
goods or else you can stay at home
and wait for people to come to your
house to buy off YOU
Il am an old man and cannot go
about much" said Youdalle, apologet'
icaly.
We'll, then open a shop; be mer-
chant in your own house" Youdalle
was delighted with the plan He did
not need to ask Yossel at all whether
his stock of pins and needles and but
tons was good enough for merchant.
He knew himself that they were suit
able for only peddlar, He must have
other things, such as cloth and calico
and towels and handkerchiefs in or
der to start afresh.
His hand trembled as he drew forth
from their hiding place the silver
roubles and half-roubles he had been
boarding all his life, His wife wish
ed him good luck" as he drove or
from the village to the town of Riga
where he was not long laying out
his little capital.
At asst Youdale and Chana had
their wishes fulfilled. Their hearts
swelled with pride as they parcelled
out their goods, ready to show them
to whoever came to buy.
And now there only remained for
him to tell the villagers of his al

a loud triumphant voice

Hardly were the words out Of his
mouth than he rushed off home to
see if anyone had come to buy his
goods No one had come. He was
crestfalllen. He rushed out into the
village again, only to return few
minutes later He repeated the same
performance over and over again;
and each time that he pushed open
the half-door, his wife was forward
thinking that a customer had come.
These repeated Interruptions made
her very angry They disturbed her
peace and prevented her from look
ing after her household in the order
ly fashion which was usual with her.
What do you expect, Youdalle?"
she demanded at last Do you think
you can be a Rothschild in day."
No, no." he replied quickly. | do

He is not pedlar after all.
He was gone again before she had
time to answer him. And still no Gus
toners came to buy anything. No
body paid any heed to Youdale's ex-
cited words. Each one explained to
him, in his own peculiar fashion, that
he could not buy from him because
he must buy from such and such
man, who was his uncle or his cousin,
or brother-in-law.
Youdalle listened in amazement.
Surely there was room in the village
for another merchant He was pale
as death. What could he do now?
All! yes! there was Yossel whom he
might consult.
Yossel listened patiently to You
dalles tale, never putting in single
word until he had come TO an end of
speaking.
"You can never succeed in this viii
lage," Yossel said at last,
why not. why not? Does not
every single individual know me thor
oughly."
They do, indeed; and that is why
you must fail, Youdale."
what do you mean
They all know that you have no
children; while Moshe, the Bald One
who also deals in cloth and towels
and what not, has no less than nine
little children to support; so that every
one buys from him out of pity,
whether they think he deserves it or
not"
Youdalles future turned black as
ink There was no gainsaying what
Yossel said. 1t was perfectly true,
Youdale and Chana almost went in
despair but there was nothing else
to be done excepting for him to take
up his pack and go forth on the long
broken roads he had hoped never to
traverse again as long as he lived.
He took up his heavy stick and went
forth, biting with his short teeth his
fiat pipe, the sole companion of his
lonely travels. 1t was empty now.
He was only pretending to smoks it.
The Jewish herald. (Houston, Tex.) 1908-1914, 1911-06-01


likely to be anything else but a ped
lar for the remainder of his life. His
despair grew every day; for he was
becoming weaker and less able to car
ny about heavy pack. He had no
children on whom he might build his
hopes of the future-no sons to send
off to America to make their fortunes
and no daughters on whom he might
lean in his old age. There was only
Chana and himself in the little wood
en- house.
"Youdalle" said Chana to him one
day drawing closer to him and low
ering her voice as if she were about
to impart to him such secret that
"Youdalle, what do you think, would
it not be a good plan for you to go
out into the village and talk to the
merchants. There is Shapsalle, who
deals in horses, and Abraham who
deals in green cucumbers when they
are in season, and in barrel slaves
when there are no cucumbers; and
Isaac who buys forest trees and Zelig
who deals in mezuzahs; surely they
have all got something to say about
their business. If you listen to them
you will surely get to know how to
>
can you not learn from them?"
Youdalle murmered his reply, al
most under his breath. He was not
school boy to go out and learn of
others. Even if he had not hitherto
succeeded, it did not follow that he
could not buy and sell as well as any
of these merchants whom Chana had
named. At the same time, it were
as wise to allow himself to be guided
by circumstances And what else
could Youdalle do but act according
to Chanas advice, though he could
not forget that she was only woman
and in reality understood no more
about business than the ropes with
which he tied up his heavy pack. And
then again, he found consolation in
the fact that he was not going to
learn anything of her. He was going
to take lessons of old men, full of eX-
perience and of the wisdom of judg-
ment which had secured their sue
cess in life.
He pushed his pack under the bed,
drew on his long Sabbath coat and
went forth into the village. Direct
ed his footsteps to the House Of Learn
ing where he was most likely to come
upon the important men of the village,
1t was a dark cold evening. The
narrow ill-lit room was crowded with
men of all ages and descriptions. A
few had books open, but were not
reading. The noise was deafening.
Everybody was shouting as loudly as
he could; and nobody paused to listen.
1t was clear to Youdalle that there
was something amiss-something of
which even his own wife, Chana, had
heard nothing, he plucked his neigh
Dor by the sleeve and asked him what
was the matter. 1t appeared that a
dispute had arisen between two old
men, neither Of whom would give in
to the other. One said that Kathe-
rine the Great had died in such and
such a year; while the other main
tanned she had died six years before
Youdalle's informant was quite will
ing to make a compromise between
the disputants. What would 1t matter

Third Year,
"YOUDALLE, MERCHANT"
(By Hannah Beman)

All his life Youdalle had been a
peddler. Carrying heavy pack on his
shoulders, he traversed YEARLY the
broken roads which lie between the
tiny Lithuanian villages or rather
collection of wooden huts. He was
more and more dissatisfied with ped
ding every day of his life just as he
was dissatisfied with the results it
brought him. His heart went out in
longing for something better and
higher and nobler. He wished to be
a merchant. His pulse beat quicker
with the thoughts which such a posi-
bility aroused in him. He saw him
self a man Of substance. living an
easy life, free from harrassing care
and from the thousand humiliations
which he had to put up with as a
peddlar. 1t was so fine thing to
think on, to mediate in the long hours
of his lonely travelling that he could
never bring himself to believe it
could ever come to pass But, his
soul was kindled with hope. Why,
should he despair after all? So long
as he had the strength to do it,, he
might some day manage to carry his
grand dream into effect
Day and night he thought of the
golden future which was yet before
him. In the day time he boarded
up his kopeks with the greed bordering
on avarice, looking upon each as an
other stepping stone towards sue
cess, while he made thousand plans
at night, until sleep overcame him at
last, when he would turn over on his
side, heave profound sigh and dream
of God knows what, to be awakened
up almost by force in the morning.
Perhaps his ambitions would never
have gone beyond the dreaming stage
if his wife Chana had not shared
them with him. She was his power
full ally, urging him on, and keeping
sharp lookout for anything which
might help him become a merchant
during the time he spent on the road.
She could hardly have explained
what it was she hoped to come upon,
or why she was so anxious to watch
the trend of events in the village.
She felt that she must be on the look
out; and that was enough.
No sooner did Youdalle cross the
threshold of the little wooden house
that was his home that he at once
poured out a multitude of questions,
to all of which Chana replied in a
high, piping voice and with volumi-
nous footnotes so to speak. She
most always had thousand things
to tell him-the result of her obser-
vations, even though he had not been
away for more than few days. She
spoke rapidly and with much passion,
waving her thin brown hands in the
air and drawing her head shawl more
closely about her, almost down to her
eyes, and whatever else Youdalle may
or may not have stood in need of he
was never short of accurate informa
ton of what went on in the village in
his absence
Despite of that, the plain facts re-
NAMED that he was not improving
his position, No amount of investiga'
ton on Chanas part and no amount
of signing on his own seemed to help
