On the afternoon of Passover Eve,
Lena prepared the meats in accord

The meat was thoroughly sailed and

Lena watched the little bundle
burn.
"rell me, father" she asked, what
is the meaning of Passover"
MANY thousands of years ago."
explained Ratkowitz, 1.-The children
of Israel were held in bondage by
the Egyptians. After warning the
Egyptians to set His children free,
the Lord Jehovah, smote them with
ten plaques when He saw that His
warning went unheeded
1.-THE last plague" RatkOwitz con-
tinued, Consisted of the Staying OF
the first-born of every Egyptian fam
lily. Before intiicting this plague the
Lord warned His children to smear
the blood of a lamb over their doors"
Wherever this sign was displayed
there did the Angel of Death spare
his hand, passing over to the homes
of the Egyptians. In fear, Pharoah
thrust the Children of Israel out of
Egypt and bade them go. So hur-
rifdIy did they comply that the
bread baking in the ovens had no
chance to leaven, but was taken out
and spread on fat rocks to bake in
the sun. 1t is for this reason that
we eat mataoths, or unleavened
bread. II serves as a reminder of
the flight.
Before the Feast of Passover"
Ratkowit2 went on, I'VE perform the
ceremony of gathering the 'Chum-
eth or unleavened bread, to denote
that our homes are free of all
leaven."
While his father was explaining
the meaning of the Passover, Sam
was meeting with just retribution.
The boy had called upon Rebecca,
but found her mother barring his
entrance. The sound of voices in
the front room reached his ears.
Brushing past Mrs. Levy he ran into
the room where he was wont to court
Rebecca. The sight of Rebeeca in
the arms of Hyman Adler met his
astonished gaze.
At Sans entrance Rebecea and Ad-
Ter looked up. A frown appeared
upon the salesman's massaged coun-
tenance.
"Rebeeca! wha-what does this
mean?" demanded Sam.
Rebecca carefully examined her fin
ger nails before replying.

Very patriotic lot of people lfva
here, I see" is the remark made by
almost every newcomer to the frontier
town of Knik, Alaska, at the head of
Cooks inlet, when they see that
almost every house is supplied with a
ffagpole.
And they are right about the
patriotism, but it just happens that
the poles are not for flags, but for
meat.
hnik is on the trail to Iditarod ana
the Kuskokwim valley, and in the
summer the sled dogs and the flies are
so thick that 1t Is impossible to keep
meat in ordinary caches near the
ground.
There is no butcher shop in Kniks
and the only fresh meat is moose or
Alaska sheep, brought In by the
hunters. It's very handy for the
housewives of Knik to have the meat
supply of the town up in the air. If
hubby has poor luck with his gun ana
the supply runs out, all she has to do
is to go to the door, pick out her
neighbor who has the largest supply
on hand and go borrow a steak or
two.
The raeat is fastened securely to q
rope, and 1t is run up to the top OF
the pole very much the same as q flag
would be.-Milwaukee Journal.

wine and then washed their hands in
the basin of water which Lena
brought to the table.
For two days Sam had wandered
about the streets, so wretched that
scarcely a morsel of food had passed
his lips. Ill and faint, ne stopped Ia
front of a synagogue from which the
congregation was streaming. For the
first time it dawned upon the miser-
able boy that this was the Passover
Eve.
1t brought back to his mind the
thought of his father and Lena. Lena,
who had so nobly sacrificed all st19
had to pay for his education. Lena,
who he had treated so basely. In the
feeling of remorse that overwhelmed
him he saw the girl at her true worth.
Rebecca, in comparison, now seemed
to typify all that was gross and uI1-
worthy With a heart-rending moan
the boy turned and made his wa5

the determination to beg forgiveness.

and, in accordance with the ancient
ritual chanted;
Let all who are hungry enter and

come and celebrate the Passover.
The words went straight to Sans
heart. He started forward as II to
open the door, but the thought of his
utter unworthiness to occupy a seat
at that table held him back
The heart-sick boy staggered to the
steps leading up to the next flight

not remain inactive for long. Again
he drew near the door. Inside he

Astrologer
COPYRIGHT, 1879
THE stars incline, but do not compel.
TUESDAY, MARCH II, 1914.
Large Is the dover
OF evil power.

Astrologers announce that this is a
doubtful day. Although Jupiter is in
friendly aspect, both Saturn and Mer-
curry are strongly adverse in their
| sway.
| Under the benehc influence of Jupi-
| ter commercial transactions should be
| fortunate, but while this confguration
prevails there is an unlucky omen
| for investments in mines, coal prop
critics and real estate.
The influences are fairly good for
| dealing with bankers, brokers and
| provision firms.
There is a sign interpreted as fore
| shadowing pure food scandals. Rev

Scholars, university professors and
college students should benefit today.
! Increased cooperation between seats

Is prophesied. The president of an
| Eastern institution probably will at

| fairs.
This is not propitious day for long
| Journeys. Wise men and women will
act with prudence. Heavy storms are
| likely to cause serious difficulties.
There is a highly malignant sway
which inclines to upset the mental
| equilibrium by exaggerating petty
worries and trifiing annoyanees. Tt
will be well to guard against friction
with relatives. Domestic difficulties
of all sorts are likely to be magni-
| fed.
The astral role may create indecis-

vorable for initiative which involves
important business.
Old persons should be careful while
Saturn is evilly disposed. Falls and
other accidents should be guarded
against. Attention should be paid to

ach and nervous system are common
under this configuration.

T. F. RYAN HURT;
FELL UNDER HORSE
Animal the Financier Was
Riding Stumbled While
in Central Park.

Thomas F. Ryan is suffering from
three fractured ribs as the result of an
accident in Central Park yesterday,
when his horse stumbled and then fell
on him. While not dangerous, his
physicians maintain, his injuries are
exceedingly uncomfortable, and =
Christmas trip to Virginia, which was
to begin last night, with several
friends, is off for the present. This
seemed to bother the fnAncier last
night more than his injuries.
His horse is specially trained, and
the accident was due entirely to Mr..
Ryan being unable to free himself from
the saddle and stirrups when the ami
NAL stumbled. The groom, who al
ways rides behind Mr.. Rryan, released
his employer from his painful position
and assisted him TO a bnech. A taxi
cab carried him to his home, at S5S
Fifth av.
In the belief that the injuries con-
sisted of a broken collarbone and the
fracture of several ribs, if not the
puncture of a lung, a number of ply
sicians and specialists we're summoned
hurriedly. After examination and con-
sultation they agreed that their pa
tient had no complications to fear, and

SCORE HURT IN
TROLLEY CRASH
Two Cars Batter Each
Other Trying to Cross at
SD St. at Same Time.

Two crowded surface cars crashed at
Eighth av. and 53d st. shortly before
o'clock last night. A score of persons
were bruised and cut and four were so
badly injured that they were taken to
the Polytechnic Hospital. The cars were
battered, and in one of them, a steel
car of the side-door variety, the pas
sengers were imprisoned for several
minutes.
There is a hagman at this crossing
until 1880 in the evening. After that
the right of way is largely a matter
of generosity on the part of the motor
men. A northbound Eighth av. car, IN
charge of Timothy Crowley, of 2392
Eighth av., and a Broadway and Am
sterdam av. car, westbound in 53d St.
in charge of Thomas Rooney, OF 5SS
Amsterdam av., reached the intersec-
tion at the same time.
Both motormen started across at the
same time, the westbound car little
faster than the other. There was a
crash, and the Eighth av. car, increas-
ing its speed, literally picked the other
ND and carried it several feet north

Crowley shouted to the passengers IN
his car and tried to jump back out OF
danger, but the vestibule was crushed
like an eggshell and he was caught IN
the wreekage. The side door of the
car which had been rammed bulged IN
ward. but held enough to prevent a
more serious accident. The mechanism
was put out of commission, and 1t was
not until three doctors arrived from
the hospital and forced the door that
the passengers were released.
The physicians, Drs. Harness, Man
ming and Tobin, gave tirst aid treat
merit to the piled up passengers of the
Eighth av. car and sent Crowley to
the hospital with his knee out OF JOINT
and his face and hands badly cut.
Two others were taken from the
Eighth av. car to the hospital. They
were Thomas Moran, of 703 Ninth av.,
and John ]. Dohney, of 224 Central
Park West.
The steel construction of the rammed
car saved its many passengers, and
after they were released it was found
that only one, Harry Burt, Of 33S West
55th St, required hospital attention.
The doctors tried to persuade Miss
Katherine Mount, of 237 West 9lst St,

was trained nurse with patients who
needed her services and refused. she
was patched up and went along.
