show and he dominates Mr.. Fitzpatrick
for alderman every time.
But I am gossiping. I meant to talk
about something else. There are so many
news going around in our club that it puts
man s brain in whirl so that I some
times don It know where to finish. I really
meant to tell you from the start fine
story about some business I had in the
comptrollers office. Ere 1 became a land
lord [ didn It know there was such a thing
in America as a comptroller s office. But
the longer you live the more things you
get.
A while ago the postman brought me
letter written and addressed in English
I show it to my eldest daughter Bessie, the
school teacher, and she tells me it s let
ter from the comptroller, who requests me
to call at his office cat earliest conven-
ience-don It know that place" Says my
Bessie laughing: "Oih, papa, it isn't
place at ALT means you are to come as
soon as you CAM Says I: "Oih, daughter
mine, whence does the comptroller s office
know me? I fear it s new tribulation
some additional taxes, I dare say.'
Says my Bessie: "Call on him and find
out. Why should you worry over nothing
go and find out what the matter!"
Says [: ''In these matters [ need no advice
from you. You think because you are
a teacher you know everything. But tell
you, one must take lawyer right away,
because without lawyer one mustn It mix
in such matter. Who knows what mischief

ters! I am going to New York to take at

And then 1 went to New York. I knew
that there was an entire mob Of Jewish
attorneys on Rivington street. Well, 1
walked around and looked about me until
I saw sign; notary public. Thinks l.:
That It's probably the same as a lawyer

OH the ground floor and asked the young
man who was sitting there drinking his
tea; Are you a lawyer? The young man
looked at me and said: eyes, / take all

December II, 1915.

Congratulations are now in order. l am
member now Of our club Which club?
Don It ask me-we Of Mudhole, L. L., have
only one club-the rest are congregations and
societies with ladies' auxiliaries. About
the ladies auxiliaries another time. For
the present 1 only wish to explain to you
what our club is like-because maybe you
have never been in Mudhole, L. I. All
club And since most everybody in Mud
hole, L. l., has his own proud home, with
his own proud mortgage upon it, it is plain
that the entire Mudhole, l.. l., gentry be-
longs to it. The aim and purpose Of the
club, according to it's constitution, is to
promote the welfare of the population,
which means, translated into Yiddish, to
boom the place as a paradise on earth;
promote the social and amicable inter-
course between residents; to raise the value
of real estate in the vicinity, and so on
and so forth. For your benefit I shall
quote few paragraphs from our constitu-
ton.
Section %, first paragraph. Every men,
Der is pledged to speak always and every
where in praise Of Mudhole, L. L., so as
to aid in the booming Of real estate values
and to create an interest in our prosperous
community leading up to investments and
new settlements within.
Section IS, third paragraph. No mem
Der has right to invite guests from New
York, during the winter months, i. e., from
December to April, when the mud pools
Of Mudhole, L. l., are likely to create mis-
leading impressions.
Section IS, fifth paragraph. On dry, un-
clouded days it is the bounden duty Of
every member to invite over from New
York such friends and next Of kin as may
be possessed of means; to walk them all
over Mudhole, L. l., to show them houses
that have doubled in value during the last
two years, and those that are in the mar
ket now at a bargain.
Section 7, ninth paragraph. A member
that has been taken in real estate deal
has to maintain the strictest silence about
it-this being more profitable both to
him and to others.
Section 8, same paragraph No member
is permitted, under any circumstances, to
complain about leaking pipes, leaking
roof, holes in the wall, mice, rats, malodors,
or other drawbacks likely to deter others
from settling in Mudhole, L. I.
These are the most important points in
our constitution.
To be sure, nearly all members of our
club are Jews, because the goyim have
nearly all left Mudhole, L. I. There only
remained with us McNally, the plumber,
who patches up pipes; Callahan, who fixes
our ceilings when they are soaked with
water from the leaky pipes; Fitzpatrick,
the alderman and a small parcel Of other
Christians of small account-not Of you be
it said. These Christians live with us in
perfect fraternal harmony-they are the
leading spirits Of our club. They make all
the motions in our meetings-and second
them, too. The rest Of us only say "aye"

see you later on" I says goodbye to him
and went away.
Half block farther down the street
I went into another office, and there [
found youth, beardless little fellow. I
asked him: "Where is your boss?' He
answered: edo you need a lawyer? l
am the lawyer" Says I: 'Say, mister
where do you come from?' When I heard
him speak in Hockdeutch, I thought: May
be he is lawyer! So 1 gave him the
letter, he looked it over and asks me:
"What do they cite you to the comptrol-
Ter s office for?'' Say I: elf 1 knew why,
1 wouldn It come to YOU" Then the little
fellow laughed and said: 'Es list cine mdno
Sache NIT desc Juden-they think a law
yer to be wizard. Go first to the comp
trollers office and ask him what he wants
with you. Then come back again and III
try my best for you for a reasonable con-
sideratiOn.'
Thinks I to myself mere Yingel, but
he speaks like a man Of wisdom! Then I
asked him about the location Of the comp
troller's office, and he told me what car
to take and where to 60. Baruch ha-Shem
[ found the office, went in, took off my
cap, saw that the others had theirs on,
and put mine on again. And there I stood
like sheep and didn It know what to do.
At last I took heart Of courage, took
the letter out Of my pocket, and handed
it to a clerk. He takes the letter, says
nothing, looks into a book and writes
something upon a check Then he gave
me the book and told me to sign my name
in p,,t ;rb+
thereafter I repented me of my rashness.
Who told me to be in such hurry to sign,
not knowing what? Perhaps 1 ruined my
self with that signature, have signed away
my house, am no landlord any more-but
the clerk pays no heed and writes on in his
book like a cold-blooded murderer-he
cares not for me standing there and shaking
like a leaf. My ankles I feel are giving
way-the clerk put stamp on the check
and hands it to me- els that all?'' asked
him, shaking all over-not Of you, be
it said! eyes, sir!' he says, and turns
his back to me just as if he had swal-
lowed an infant, and that's ALL
I took the car and went back to the
young lawyer-that schneck who talks so
Hochdeutsch "Sehen sic mein Herr [
says to him, 'That s what the comptroller
gave me- The schneck gave a look and
broke out laughing. "Was lachen sic,
mein Herr?' L asked him. "That's
nothing,'' he says eco home and rest your
mind.' Asks l. ''But what's written on
that complaint?' Says he: cit is no COM
plant, you Narr.' And then, he explained
half in Deutsch and half in Polovine Eng
lish, that the comptroller had found mis-
take that the city made in taxing me for
a pipe running below my house, and that
the city must refund me now the money.

The idea was worked out by Mar

livery stable. The sight of it took his
mind back to the old coaching days in

cities. Relay teams were sought and
found available at convenient stages,
and now the coach runs regularly with
either Mr.. Langhorne or Mr.. Batonyi
holding the reins, all the receipts
from passengers going to the relief of
lnon-combatants, while the parents of
the idea themselves defray the expenses
and in return get not only their sport
