MANS Failing.

Last Thursday evening Rufus Cole
man had a date with Howard Kelly.
He was to go to Howard's house. He
started. At the address given by
Howard there was no such person.
He was puzzled. The lady of the
house, thought that Rufus looked like
he was. They had once worked to-
gether in the same hotel. Mr.. Kelly
could go to blazes. Rufus was glad
he came and couldn't find him. All,
but there was someone else who had
something to say about that.
Rufus came in and sat down In the
parlor. Jessie got out the old family
album, cuddled up real close and right
then and there both of them forgot
everything else in the world. Enter
the villain. He wasn't a villain till
he got to the door, and then he let
out war whoop. The lady beat 1t.
Rufus looked askance at the sup
posed intruder. By way of introduc-
ton Frank Morgan. the intruder, :"
took Rufus by the back OF the neck,
put his foot in his eye and demanded
to know what he knew abouA the un-
written law, Frank wasn't married
at all, he was just the lady's beau.
Rufus knew something about the writ
ten law and so does Frank, as he has
learned just $25 worth. He was only
the lady's intended.

He once worked as a bartender. He
could mix drinks alright, but he had
the wrong recipe when it came to mix

journment of the first Zionist
Congress ever held in Russia,
where a strong stand in favor of
Jewish National Autonomy in Pal
estine was taken by the delegates.
Of even greater Importance is the
political situation relating to Pal
estine and the possibility of an
early realization of the plan to "es-
tablish publicly recognized, legal
ly assured homeland for the Jew
ish people," Although nothing
definite is known concerning the
progress Of the political situation,
it is believed in some quarters, that
the convention will be electrified
by an important announcement by
those who may speak with au-
thority in the matter. At any rate,
the anticipation that this conven-
tion may mark an historic moment
in the life of the Jewish people is
whetting the eagerness with which
the delegates are flocking to Balti-
more, and is causing the eyes Of
the Jewish people to be strained to-
ward that city.

THE GAME OF GIVE AWAY.

THE GAME OF GIVE AWAY.
There are two ways Of playing
checkers. The usual way is to try
to capture as many of your oppon-
ent's men with as little loss of your
own forces as possible. Incidental
ly, the player tries to convert his
"men" into "kings" in order to
increase their powers and thereby
do more havoc to his opponent.
There is another way to play
checkers, sometimes called the
game Of "give away" In this
game you try to lose as many men
as you possibly can to your oppon-
ent and endeavor to take the few
est number of his men. You avoid
making kings with their superior
power to capture men. In this
game it is possible to win only by
losing all.
Destiny seems to be trying to
force upon us today some such
game. The demands made upon
our time, our treasure and our
talents seem innumerable and end
less. To the numerous calls which
many of our Gentle friends find
very burdensome, we have a large
number of additional opportunities
offered us to give away our SUBJ
stance and even ourselves. It
would almost seem as if the con-
ventional game Of "Get," which the
World had accustomed itself to
play for so many years and to
which most Of us had adjusted our
selves very readily and willingly
had become the game of "Give"
with no chance to win until you
have given all.
One thing is sure. We must
play the game. We can play it the
conventional way if our conscience
and associations will permit. Or we
can play it the new way. The
stakes are Life, Liberty and HUI
man Happiness. They may be won
only in the game of give away.
Let us try to become as proficient
in this new mode of "playing the
game" as we have heretofore been
in the old.-G. L..
