THE PEDDLER'S HOPE.
Translated from the Yiddish of
Abraham Raising

Whether because he was too weak,
or because he was ashamed, or per-
haps for both reasons, he did not
call out in the streets, "Old Clothes
-old Clothes" as did all the
other peddlers. With his bag on his
shoulder, he went from door to door
and asked quietly, "Have you any
thing to sell?"
With just this question, thin, pale,
with parched lips, and red eyes, he
once walked into my room.
NO." answered in guilty voice.
"Perhaps pair of old shoes?" he
asked softly and bent down to look
under the bed.
"No, [ have only one pair"
can old hat?" he continued in
the same old tone, and he lifted his
head and looked up at the wardrobe,
which belonged to my landlady.
"No."
"a shirt perhaps?" he kept on,
seeing my valise, which was lying on
a chair.
"No, I haven't" I answered, and
suddenly looking at him, I noticed

to me that there, standing motion.
less before me, with an empty bag in
his hand, was despair itself.
I wanted to give him a cigarette.
He thanked me and said, "Life is,
bitter enough without. . :"
What was I to do with him? I
couldn't just let him go away with
out anything. I had nothing to sell
him; he refused my cigarettes, and
alas, | hadn't any aims to offer him,
and perhaps he would have refused
that.
Suddenly, ha1f-invo1untary, I let
fall these words, "In week, [ shall
buy new suit Come then, and I
shall sell you the one am wearing"
"What? What did you say?" he
cried out as though awakened from
sleep by some good things, and he
drew nearer to me- ''In a week.
Sure?"
"Perhaps in ten days." I tried to-
postpone his holiday little, 'but as
soon as I have a new one, I shall
sell you the one I am wearing"
"Well, let it be ten days, that
makes no difference. I can wait"
he stammered, and in his eyes there
appeared happy CLEAN. In his joy,
he came still nearer to me and felt
my sleeve.
"Cheapish material" he said in the
tone of connoisseur, and looking
still more closely, he added, "Well
worn, too. But that doesn't matter.
I'll buy it from you. And SO, when
did you say-in few days?"
'Tn ten days. I agreed.

stroke of luck, and he didn't take
his eyes from my suit, which evil

He had already bade me goodby,
wished me a good day, when sud-
denly his face grew dark again.
Standing near the door, he turned to
me and said in trembling voice,

little was heard of strikes or lock-
outs or other clashes between the
two extremes of Our industrial sys-
tem-capital and labor. Nor was
there any very serious criticism from
either side, indicating the large mea-
sure of success which Mr.. Frank
furter's handling of his duties had
achieved.
When the president wanted
revolutionary pension system, he
picked Judge Julian w. Mack, now
president of the Zionist organization
of America, to frame the legislation
and pilot it through an unwilling
congress. That measure, which
created the War Risk Insurance
Bureau, was strenuously opposed by
the great life insurance companies
of America inasmuch as it clearly
encroached on their domain and set
up dangerous precedent in the sue
cessful operation of life insurance
business by the government. Yet,
notwithstanding all obstacles and
even a personal attack on Judge
Mack while he was in the gallery of
the senate, the measure is one Of the
most successful on the war program.
The department Of Our govern
ment which was most intimately
connected with the war, the War
Department also called in Jewish
brain and talent to assist it in the
execution of it's tremendous task.
Walter Lipman and Major Samuel
Rosenson, rendered and are still dis
charging very important duties as
assistants to the head of the depart

This cursory review of the lead
ing figures in Jewish life who have
freely given to the best in them
selves to their country in it's hour of
peril, would not be complete with
out referring to the excellent re-
cord established for himself by Capt
Julius I Peyser, of Washington, in
the administration of the Housing
Division of the War Department.
When the war broke in upon us, Our
city with a normal population of
about 36O,OOO was not more pre-
pared for the gigantic task than the
nation at large or perhaps less. It
could comfortably accommodate
several thousand new incomers but
not forty or fifty thousand new war

The IntoIerable Rooster.

The hen is not at all pr~oud-spirited.
She differs in that respect from her
rooster spouse. Whether her marriage
vows bind her to love and obey him
and to drudge and lay for him, ] am
not ready to state, but it would seem
very much that way by the naughty
air chanticleer assumes toward her
ladyship. Married. ROSTERS are far
more selfish than husbands of the hu.
man tribe. A man. even though he de-
tests homework, will sometimes con-
descend to carry a scuttle of coal or
turn the wringer washday. But you'll
never find a rooster willing to inter.
fere with a hens domestic AFFAIRS

Such a Namel

A college professor in California has
discovered q mineral hitherto unknown
to science. which he has called "crest-
moreite," because 1t was found at
Crestmore. We are told by way of
description, says the Providence Bull
letin, that it is "a new hydrous basic
Of Orthosilicate, containing small
amounts Of other oxides In place Of
Silica" which leaves us altogether in
the dark as to whether we shall soon
be using crestmoreite as an improved
stovepipe material or wearing 1t as a
watch charm.

Tricks Of Worms.


Mimicry in animals, 'hitaFto an un.
solved mystery" Is explained In the
North American Review by Hudson
Maxim. When a bird Is about to at
tack a worm he looks at the worm,
trying to ascertain whether the worm
is a food worm or a puff-adder. The
mental process Of the bird is trans
ferred to the nervous system Of the
worm, who, TO- aware Of the fact that
the bird would hesitate to attack him
If he were a puff-adder, proceeds to
initiate the puff-adder.

Two Brave Marines,

On the first day Of February, 1918,
there was an explosion in a seaplane
hangar on an aviation field near Wash
ington. The explosion started a fire
which set ablaZe the clothing Of a
chief petty officer Of the navy. The
death Of the petty officer and the de-
struction of the costly hangar were Inn
mlnent. Prlvates William II. Lawton
and Raymond ]. Burnap, United States
marines from the Washington navy
yard, were on duty nearby. Arming
themselves with fire extingulshers,
they dashed to the rescue. The life Of
the petty officer was saved and the de-
struction Of the hangar prevented. Sec
retary Daniels wrote personal letter
to each of the marines, commendlng
him for his eoolness and presence Of
mind in the face Of sudden danger.
Private Lawton enlisted in the ma
rine corps on August 4, 1914, at Nor
folk, Va. Private Burnap Joined the
soldiers Of the sea at Philadelphia on
July q, 1917.

Telephones In Canada.

A most remarkable increase Is evil
denced in the use of the telephone in
Canada during the past five years, ac-
cording to a report recently laid upon
the table Of the house Of commons.
The number Of telephones in use
throughout the Dominion In 1912 was
370,984, while in 1917 the number had
grown to 604,136. The number of tele-
phone companies operating In 1912 was
083, and five years later there were
1859 companies in operation. A total
of 8S9,572 miles Of wire was In use
during the year 1912. In 1917 the wire
mileage was 1,708,202. The capitaliza.
tion Of telephone companies also shows
a great increase In the five-year period.
In 1912 1t was $42,27S,851, while In
June, 1917, 1t was $79,121,7O2. The
revenue during the same period had
grown approximately $8,000,000. The
number of persons for each telephone
In the Dominion In 1912, was 1913 and
In 1917, 1874.

In this group of three hats there are
three classes represented by fine ex-
amples Of their kinds. There is a
graceful, soft model for street wear,
in white and black; dressy, pictur-
esque affair in transparent black, and
bit of subdued gayety in a high
pink, bOnnetlike shape made Of crepe
georgette. This is reserved millinery
following in the wake of the modes at
a modest distance from extremes. But
each hat is a gem that will bear com
parlsOn with any others of its kind
and interesting because Of its individ-
ual style.
In street hats there are not so many
soft models, fashion having swung to-
ward the trim, sprlghtly, spirited
styles. But there is so much class In
this bit Of headwear that 1t can af-
ford to be different from the majority.
1t is of white yedda braid faced with
black satin and has collar Of narrow,
black satin ribbon, finished with
small bow at the back. Under the bow
the soft crown is tackled to the brim
and at the front a pair Of small, black
wings are convincingly chic. The hat
speaks French and If it were not for
the war we would be sure to credit
Paris with it.
The pretty black hat, with braid
crown and hrim Of machine Is a tvDp
that every woman admires and all
women, young or otherwise, can wear.
1t has a tie Of narrow satin ribbon
about the base of the crown finished
with little cravat bow at the front.
Large, black velvet doilies are fiat
