HOW THEY MARRY FOR MONEY
Different Prices Necessary to Get Q
Husband Among Certain Glasses
In New York.

New York.-There are 5000 Jewish
marriage brokers in New York city
and most of them make a good living
in finding partners for the matri-
monially-incined. The price Is going
up all the while. The old scale no
longer attracts young Hebrews to
wedlock. One time 500 was consid-
cred a good bonus for a girl to pay
for a husband: It has been going up
until It is $500.
Saloonkeeping ranks about the low
est of all on the brokers' list. yet. only
a few days ago. a young man. two
years out of Russia. an assistant bar
keeper. refused even to look at a girl
with $1,000. He expected $4,000.
A medical school graduate will not
marry unless $4,000 goes with the
girl. An ordinary college graduate
now demands $4,000. A medical.
legal or dental beginner. with no prac-
tice at all. insists upon $1,000 in the
marriage market. while cae with an
established professional business ex-
poets to receive anywhere from 81. 900
to $25. 900 through the "schatchen."
II Is a mistake to assume that only
the poor Hebrews arrange their mar
riages on n business basis. The Gus
tom is general among all classes.

STORY OF A BIBLE

Ownership Of This 1so-Year-oId Book

for a century-Printed
In German.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The picture below
shows. q. 1S0-year-old family Bible,
the possession of which has been in
such bitter dispute for a century that
a veritable feud has been caused in
the Bilger family of Selinsgrove. Pa.
and the hostilities reached a degree OF
violence not long ago, when Frederick
Bilger ran away with the 56-pound
book. and thereby accomplished the
sole purpose of a journey from his
home In Sioux City. This picture play
ed very important part in the recent
purloining of the family Bible. In fact.
the photographing of the heirloom
was the ruse Frederick Bilger worked
to get custody of the heavy book.
Franklin bigger of Philadelphia. who
inherited the Bible from his deceased
father, left 1t In the care of his moth
er, Mrs. Wilson A. Herman. of Selins-
grove, who married a second time.
Bilger came to the Herman home and
asked his sister II he might take the
Bible to a local photograph gallery.
He said he wanted to have a picture
taken of the heirloom. Mrs. Herman
was suspicious of her brothers prom
Use to return the Bible. but she finally
agreed that the heirloom might be
taken from her home provided her
husband accompanied Bilger. That
condition was one on which Bilger had
not figured. but he proved equal to
the occasion. He had a horse and
buggy ready for the drive to the
photographers. and upon their return
to the Herman home Bilger stopped
the vehicle Just long enough for Her
man to put his foot on the buggy step.
Then Bilger whipped the horse. and
dashed away with the Bible in the
buggy. Herman's trousers caught on
the step and he was dragged several
yards. A warrant was sworn out for
Bilger's arrest on charges of assault
and robbery. but the crafty westerner
succeeded In double-crossing a con-

many skin disease cases came under

Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case in
particular was that of lady friend

face and hands entirely. breaking out
at intervals with severer torture. She
could not go to school as the disfgure-
ment looked terrible. told her to get
at once a set of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use OF only one set she was
perfectly well.
"A grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one OF her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry

collections are stored all to ourselves. Colonel
Roosevelt spoke freely about his trip and told
many anecdotes In connection Herewith which
do not appear in his book and which he did not
tell In his lecture before the National Geographic
Society.
1t is hard to describe adequately the enthu.
siasm of the Oyster Bay hunter the natural
history treasures which his expedition had
cured for the National Museum and which. much
to the Colonel's delight. had arrived In splendid

taking work of Edmond Heller and J. Alden Lo-

under the heat of African and with only
natives to help them in their delicate and diff
cult task.
