rator laughed as he told of the resign
ed manner in which these confessOrs
went to meet their death.
When safety had been assured, the
traveller rose from the ground and
continued his course for some time
among the bushes. AS the danger of
discovery had passed, he again took
to the path along the highway. After
he had walked for a quarter of an
hour, he left the road and journeyed
across the fields. Before long he
found himself in vineyard. Here he
proceeded with great caution, glancing
at intervals toward a villa whence the
sound of lutte issued.
Lucretius, the owner of the grounds
on which he trod, had risen from his
couch at about the hour when the sun
had reached it's zenith in the heavens.
On the previous evening and late into
the morning, his beautiful rustic home
had been the scene of one of those
orgies which characterized patrician
life, when Rome was the, dissolute
mistress of the world. Lucretius had
partaken to excess of the rich viands
and choice vintage that had been pro-
vided for the occasion, and conse-
quently he was surly. AS he. reclined
at table, eating some fruit, his eye
wandered into the vineyard. There
he noticed someone cautiously advanc-
ing through the vines.
Marcus" he cried in loud voice.
Instantly the chief steward entered
the ROOM
Marcus, who is in the vineyard? :?
Bring him hither. warned the slaves
to stay out of the vineyard until |
should order them to work there.
Marcus ordered two other servants
to seize the intruder. Within a few
moments thin pale man was led into
the rustic mansion.
Master, the servants have ap-
pretended the intruder" announced
the steward.
"What?' growled Lucretius.
Master, the servants have appre-
lhended the stranger in the vineyard,
Marcus repeated.
well, what of it? 1t is not my vine
yard?"
| "Yes, master, but / thought thou
didst desire to have him seized and
brought to thee"
| did say that?"
Yes, MASTER
"Well, / will see him when i have
eaten. Bind him to a post in the court
lyard Continue playing, Lucretia.'
His daughter touched the strings OF
Iher lutte and played ever SO softly a
flew Introductory chords. Then in a
high, tremulons voice she began to
sing a pretty lyric from Horace
When she had finished. her father
fdismissed her and called Marcus.
''Is the captive one of the rabble?'
he inquired.

After the. incensing of the altar at

making the sign of the cross, reads
the Introit, or entrance of the Mass.

LAST CARD LOUIS
! WINS LEGAL GAME
Indictment Charging Him
With Cheating Is Dismissed
by Judge Mcintyre.
REAL WIZARD AT POKER
Alleged to Have Cleaned Up
$35O,000 From Movie Men
and Garment Dealers.
REAL WIZARD AT POKER

When Louis Krohnberg. president OF
the Bijou Waist Company of 303 Fifth
avenue. used to play stud poker with
various other garment dealers and mo-
ton picture caliphs he earned the So
brlquet of Last Card Louis through
his facility for winning with that par
ticular card. These little private games
ultimately landed Mr.. Krohnberg before
the bar of justice because OF the allega-
ton that he had cleaned up something
like S350,000 through the employment OF
what are known as readers that 49,
cards that are so marked that one
player Is able to tell at a glance just
what card 1t Is that his opponent had
turned face down upon the table.
Yesterday Mr. Krohnberg ran true to
form, for on the last legal card OF
series that he had played In an effort to
secure the dismissal of the charges
hanging over him he won. and the
whole case was heaved out of court.
Judge John II. Mcintyre. in General
Sessions, dismissed the indictment re-

his decision. TT only becomes such when
one uses them knowingly and with in
tent to cheat, or by making a false
pretence. or by doing an act amounting
to fraud The evidence does not dis
clokc that the S>s--.aant furnished the
cards."
Whether this will dispose finally of
the most famous poker case to make its
way into local courts is a question, for
Judge McIntyre's decision gives the
District Attorney the right to a new
deal. It permits him to resubnt the
whole case to the Grand Jury. In his
opinion covering thirty-six typewriter
pages he holds that much of the evil
dence upon which Krohnberg was in
dicted was of a prejudicial character
and improper.

speech to Sir Herbert Samuel and
his handling of the Arab Jewish
question in Palestine anec-
dote of the Rabbi who says that
both the litigants are right, and
when reminded by his wife that
this cannot be, replies equally,
"You are right" I can cordially
recommend other speakers to dip
as | did.
The only fault | have to find
with the compilation-or is this
perhaps a merit ?--is that there
are many stories or jests which
lack an old historical background,
and are too new to have become
already folklore. Thus the joke
involved in the story of "The
Short Telegram" is obviously not
antique. A boy was born to
young wife and there was rejoic-
ing in the room. The happy hus-
band wished to telegraph to his
mother. He took a piece of pa
per and wrote a telegram: "Fan-
ny happily delivered of boy
He showed it to his father-in in-law,
who gave glance at it and said:
You are certainly no business
man. Fancy sending such long
telegram. Look how many un-
necessary words you have put.
First, Fanny Do you suppose
your mother will imagine you
have telegraphed to her about a
strange woman? Second, hap
ply Could you possibly have
telegraphed 'unhappily'? OBJ
viously your telegraphing at all.
means that you are happy about
it. Then the next phrase 'deliv-
cred Of Surely your mother will
understand that. She will not
think the boy has fallen from
heaven. And, finally, why put "a
boy? The very fact that one
troubles to telegraph shows that
it is boy. A daughter would
have been no rejoicing"

perhaps only the matter that is

fortunately he has written in
German, so that the makers of
English dictionaries will not be
much enlightened. This is a pity,
for DR.. Olsvanger has put to-
gether one of the most interesting
and amusing books in any Ian
guage, and the members of the
Swiss Commission for Jewish
Folk Lore, under whose auspices
it is published, are sincerely to be
congratulated on their enterprise.
It was in Switzerland, in fact,
that all these anecdotes, folk
songs, riddles and proverbs were
originally gathered. For Switzer-
land is stage on the road to
America, as we'll as a place of
study and business for Russian
and Galician Jews. The students
and business men settled in that
country had therefore special fa-
cilities for collecting from their
transient visitors the stories and
sayings which make the book a
rich feast of humor, as we'll as
valuable historical mirror of the
Jewish life and the Jewish soul in
the Judengassen of Eastern Eu-
rope. 1t is comedy and the JOY
of Jewish life which are the dom
inant notes of this collection, and
therefore it is the more tragic
that the bulk of it should have
been taken down from the mouth
of Jewish refugees from Jerusa-
lem on their flight to America.
DR.. Olsvanger, who has written
out all the stories in the Roman
alphabet, according to a careful
phonetic system, has provided
elaborate explanatory notes, an
historical and grammatical intro
duction, and a full vocabulary of
words differing considerably from
the old German groundwork of
this dialect. 1t is difficult to
choose from such a rich bag of
almonds and raisins. One can
only dip ones hand in at random,
certain of finding something
toothsome. 1t was in this book,
to tell a secret, that l found the

people of all people are the Jews.
That everybody knows. And the
cleverest Jews certainly are the
Zionists-there is no doubt Of
that. And, furthermore, the clev-s
crest Zionists are the Russian
Zionists-who else? And of the
Russian Zionists, the cleverest
are surely those of the Central
Committee. for if they had not
been the cleverest, they would not
have been taken on the Central
Committee. And, on the same
ground, it is clear that the clev-
crest man of the Central Commit
tee is the president. And he,
mark you, is so stupid the world
cannot show his equal"
The Shadchen, or marriage
broker stories are particularly
amusing, though I am not certain
that at least one does not come
by roundabout way from a
story of my own. It will be a
righteous revenge to annex some
of the others in future stories.
Closely related to the Shadchen
stories are the stories about bride
grooms, of which an example is
called PHILOSOPHY" A shy young
man who was sent to make the
acquaintance of proposed bride
was advised by his father to speak
to her first of love, second of
family affairs, and finally to
throw in a little philosophy. At
ter the dinner, when the other
guests had departed and left the
couple alone, the young man pro-
ceeded to follow his fathers adj
vice. First he said: do you
love lokschen?" (macaroni) On
her replying, he proceeded:
"Have you brother?" And
when she replied that she had
not, he felt that love and family
matters being exhausted, the time
had come for philosophy. So he
said, "Supposing you had a
brother, would he have loved
Lokschen?"
Exactly the same dialogue is,
however, with the substitution of
cheese for 1okschen, put into the
mouth of Lord Dundreary in the
famous English comedy of "Our
American Cousin" first produced
in 1853, and the question arises
whether it originally came into
the play out of the Galician Ghet-
to, or into the Galician Ghetto
out of the play, to find its way
back to London by way of Jeru
salem, Basle and Cape Town. In
