The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1921-05-13

This was how the two women
had come to live together many
years before their husbands had
died, and many years after, in the
little tumbled down house, on the
othe side of the river, where the
wo1lier come to wash their linen.
The little house had been left as
legacy to the Jew and the Cen
tile, jointly, God alone knows
how. 1t was said that the house
had originally belonged to
priest who had left six legatees
after him. And, when they came
to divide the property, they found
that money was owing to a Jew.
They gave him half of the little
house. The little house had one
defective wall. The rain came
down from Feuerstein's store
house and fell right on top of the
roof Of the little house, and the
weight of the water bent the thin
walls under it. The Gentle was
always telling the Jew to buy the
material, and he would himself
do the work of repairing the wall.
The Jew never had any money
at the moment" So it went on
from year to year. The Jew mar
ried off his two daughters who
went away with their husbands,
one to Africa, one to Canada. And
the wall of the little house was
never repaired.
But the Gentle took his por-
ton Of the roof in hand. When
he found an odd brick or a stone
in the street, he carried it home.
In due time, he had sufficient ma
terial to repair the wall. He

whole night, and their lamp was
going out, and they could not
write any more.
In the packets were two pieces
Of blue paper for which Leibus,
the money changer, after much
bargaining, gave each woman
seven roubles and fifty grosch-
ems.
That very day, the two women
went to the graveyards to tell
their husbands that their children
were found, and had not forgot
ten their old mothers.

turned the gutter pipe from
Feuerstein's store house on to
the Jews portion of the roof, SO
that, on rainy days, the thin walls
shook, and the water poured in
through the roof, on to the beds,
the tables, and the cupboard.
Basins, jugs and pals had to be
used to receive the water.
In general, the Jew and the
Gentle lived peaceably together.
They abused each other, and
were again at peace. The women
also lived peaceably together.
When the Gentle woman went
to her work, she left her little
Antik in his cradle. The young
Gentle made enough noise to
crack the heavens. The Jewess
went in to him, took him in her
arms, and fed him at her breast.
Her little Chayim, lying in her
other arm, grew jealous. And
the young Jew and the young
Gentle glared at each other.
Perhaps it was then that they be.
gan making plans to go off to
America together. On a festival,
at the Passover, for example,
when Go1da carried all her things
out into the yard, and the chill
dren strayed about the streets,
wailing, the Gentle woman took
them into her room, and gave
them her food. If a child was i'll,
the other mother helped to nurse
it, ran to the doctors, fetched the
medicine. In times of need, the
women lent each other a few
groschens, a loaf of bread and a
drop of milk.
But the gods of these two
women could not live peaceably
together And they created many
quarrels between the two women.
When the feast of one god
came round, the other god could
not stand it. The rest of the year
nothing! They lived at peace.
When Christmas came, and from
the Gentle woman's room arose
the fragrance of the Christmas
dishes, the Jewess turned up her
nose. And when the priest came,
with the holy water, the Jewess
locked her children into her own
room, and would not let them
out.
"Their festival! May they
have a black year!" the Jewess
exclaimed, and did not show her
self to her neighbor until the fes-
tiVal was at an end.

"Neither has my Antik."
Just look at the chain across

"And see what big hat my

Lord Denkel!'
"Ha! Jewish blood! So, my
son had talked your son into evil
ways? If it had not been for
Chayim, how would your son
have got on?" asked the Jewess.

Both women wrapped them
selves in their shawls, and went
off to Moshe, the teacher, with
their letters. Moshe read that
the writer's were in good health,
and hoped to hear the same of
their dear mothers. Then, they
wrote that they had not forgot

Golda the fsherwoman lives
together with Antonio Yakhtov-
ma, in the little, tumble-down
house, on the other side of the
river, where the women wash
their linen. They have both
been widows for long time.
Their children left them years
before, and went out into the
world.
Golda's elder son, Chayim the
shoemaker, once came home for
a festival from Lodz, where he
was working. He began to make
plans, in whispers, with An
tomas son, Antik the carpenter.
The festival was over; but Chay-
i'm made no sign of returning to
his master. He went in and out
of the house. His mother locked
up the bread, and quarreled with
him. One fine night, the two
young men, Chayim and Antik,
disappeared. They could not be
found. They had vanished, as if
the sea had swallowed them up.
Golda quarreled with Antonia,
Antonio with Golda. One said:
"Your son talked mine into runs
ming away" The other said the
reverse. This went on for long
time. One fine morning, Golda
and Antonia were standing at the
door of their little house, opening
their hearts, one to the other.
"Where can they be now?"
MAYBE they were drowned in
the sea-"
"Rear your children for food
for fshes!"
"And, maybe they are alive"
said the Jewess, optimistically.
"And, maybe they are alive"
repeated the Gentle woman.
"And, maybe they have made
their fortunes"
"And, maybe they have their
own fields and houses"
"And, will help their poor
mothers in their old age"
All of a sudden, there arrived

WAS OUT TO SAVE MONEY
Mrs. Newbride Had II All Figured, TO
Her Own Satisfaction, at
Any Rate.

"Yes, il does. as you'say, give rath'
er an air to the fat" agreed the al
most new husband. His wife had seat.
Ell herself on the arm Of his chair sur
veying their latest acquisition, the
baby grand piano, which filed three
fourths of the living room.
And now IL we only had one of
those nifty one-arm floor lamps,
unused the almost new husbands bride.
"Why, Bettina, 1t was only yester-
day that you argued the piano would
finish the room without buying an
other thing" protested the almost new
husband. THAT was one of the ar
guments you used to wheedle me into
buying"
"Well, OF course, II saves us buying
a luscious blue plush beddavenport, or
graceful chaise Tongue or a library
| table," she defended. There simply
isn't room i'm this apartment for much
besides the piano. 1t really is an
economy in the end. But lamp is
different. You know that grand pi-
ano is not complete without floor
lamp. And while we are at il we
might as well get one of the newest
kind. Just think how coy we would
look with YOU sitting peacefully under
the new lamp while | play to you ev-
cry evening"
Hum" groaned the almost new
husband THE next thing you'll be
telling me that grand piano requires
an oriental prayer rug under the ped
ais, Persian scarf thrown across the
bench and vase of dollar-a-smell
roses in constant attendance. I'm
rather surprised that you haven't men
toned another apartment with pi-
ano room for your pet !"
1T would be NICE" agreed the bride
failing to note the touch of sarcasm in
the voice of her husband. Then she
rallied her forces once more. But
think how much money it will save
us on movies. BY staying home TO
play and sing we save-let me see
exactly 66 cents a day."
"By the way" said the almost new
husband, 1--WE mustn't forget our serial
on Friday night. Last week left Harry
Hairbreadth in an awful fix. Do you
think the piano would mind if we
left it alone just once?"
"Oh, l guess not" answered Betty
absent-mindedly. Then she launched
her final attack. "You know, Billy
can't expect you to give up going out
entirely, at least until learn to play
better. l have heard of splendid
teacher at $40 an hour and | really
think, to be worthy of such an instru,
ment, 1 should take lessons!"
''It's not the original cost, it's the
upkeep!" said the almost new husband

Nature Student, Who Witnessed

Seals are quick of movement, and

which they are able to overtake their

"While we were engaged in studying
the habits of a fish hawk" Mr.. Penni-
man writes, "our attention was at
tracted by great connection in the
water off shore. From our blind we
could see that the splashing was
caused by a seal performing the most
curious antics in his attempts to catch
bird which we later identified as a
pied-billed grebe.
"The seal made rapid progress, por-
posing in and out Of the water in
quick diving leaps and was fast over
hauling the bird, which was swimming
frantically TO escape his pursuer but.
however, made no attempt to fly. At
ter a straight-away race of some fifty
yards or more, it seemed as If the
chase was over, as both bird and seal
disappeared in the same splash as the
seal struck the water. When the
splash subsidized We saw that the grebe
had cleverly lodged to one side and,
after twisting and turning quickly
around a very small circuit to elude

1.-The bird now began to use its
wings. and, Suffering rapidly over the
water, soon distanced the seal, which
continued the chase until within 80
feet Of the beach. where the water
was no more than knee deep.
There he sat with his shoulders out
Of the water, watching the grebe as
the latter ran along the edge of the
shore. Then, as though he hated ia
give up his meal, he slowly pursued
the bird on parallel course in the
water, paying not the slightest atten,
ton to the men on the beach until he
was frightened off by our Intervention

Oeve,opinq Guatemala.

President Herrera of Guatemala, has
undertaken to interest foreign capital
in the development of some 10000
square miles of unexpected territory
in Guatemala which still awaits the
hand OF the pioneer and the invader
to transform it into productive fields.
AS the first step he has created new
department of agriculture with min
lister in his cabinet and has appointed
as head of this department Antonio
Bouscayol.
Both the president and the new min
lister have devoted the main part OF
their lives to agricultural development
and are therefore keenly interested in
providing encouragement to the farm
ers and planters. Both realize foreign
investment must be encouraged to ac-
complish this end and believe that
such aid must be expected as a re-
suit of diffusion of the knowledge that
Guatemala has safe and sane govern
ment, is fit place to live in and has
much territory as yet undeveloped.
