HIGH TRIBUTE TO RABBI WISE
churchman OF Another Faith Ex.
presses Deep Admiration for
Character of Jewish Leader.

Every time l hear Rabbi Wise 1t
makes me want to play truant from
my own church; he is so vital, so
vibrant with intellectual power, SO
aglow with moral electricity-like a
bit of human radium.
Tall, athletic, graceful, his dark
brown eyes eagle-like is their bright
ness; his deep bass voice as velvet In
appeal, and resonant in denunciation
his style bristling with epigrams,
swift epitomes and phrases that sting
the mind with the surprise of beauty
his charm as an orator is equal to
his daring as a prophet.
One moment he is walking to and
fro like lawyer at the bar; another,
he Is exploding some injustice or abb
surdity with a quick saber-thrust, with
now CLINT of humor and now a CLEAN
of prophetic indignation.
Emerson said that the man who
speaks the truth will find life suffi-
GENTLY dramatic. 1t has been so with
Rabbi Wise, who early took for his
motto: II will try to see things as
they are, and then l will try to say
them as I see them" His gallant fight
for free pulpit in free synagogue Is
memorable In the religious life OF
America.
AS chivalrous as he is fascinating, In
New York he is not only personality
but an nstitution-admired, feared
and idoliZed by turns-a leader OF mis-
own people and a captain of the forces
making for social justice, civic honor,
and national dealism.-Joseph Fort
Newton In the Atlantic Monthly.

Early Day subterfuses in Films.

Even In the early days of film-mak-
Ing, ingenious subterfuges were EN-
ployed to enact scenes which would
otherwise have been most difficult to
reproduce. T. Stuart BlacktOn gives
some examples of this in an article en-
titled "FroIu Peep-Show to Super
Cinema" In the London Magazine.
When a cinematograph film Of the
Spanish-American war was attempt
ed, the Battle of Santiago Bay" was
taken in little Office under skylight.
Photographs Of the battleships 1ndi-
ana and Iowa, and other vessels of the
American fleet, with pictures of the
Spanish warships were cut out and
fastened onto blocks of wood, and In
this way realistic sea battle was
produced.
The coast of Cuba was painted on
a small canvas about six feet square,
and Santiago bay was an oil-cloth tank.
Friends were pressed into service to
puff cigarette smoke in on either side,
while tiny explosions of gunpowder
were set off from behind the picture
battleships.

Make Much Of SneexIno.

Many savage and semi-civilized
races Of the Orient have some curious
customs regarding the sneeze. When
the sultan of Monomotopa sneezes, for
instance, the fact Is made known from
the palace by certain signal. IN
stantly every subject within hearing
sets up q shout. the cry is taken up
by others, and so extends until 1t
rolls throughout the confines of the
empire.
When the sultan of Scnaar sneezes,
OF, the contrary every woman In his
hurem or within hearing turns her
buck upon him. and makes sign Of
contempt. by shifting her lips with her
hands-dIsgusted that so mighty per-
sonage should have to sneeze like an
ordinary mortal.

A TRIP NORTH

That The journal is not up to news
standard this issue may be laid to the
fact that the office force spent the
latter part of last week and the first
of this on an auto jaunt into the wllds
of northern Wisconsin.
1t is a trip that we would enthusl-
astically recommend to any and all
who have the opportunity. From
River Falls to Superior and Duluth
the state highways are excellent,
and to those not accustomed to 1t, the
scenery is imprcssibiy grand. The
Twin Ports are we'll worth travelling
far to see. Throughout practically
the entire length of the route there
are grand opportunities for lake or
river fishing.
Returning through Minnesota, on
Trail /, the going was not so smooth,
nor the scenery so attractive, but 1t
was all very interesting nevertheless.
] The most glorious feature OF the
trip was the three-day visit at the W..
E. Tubbs summer home on the shore
of Upper Lake St. Croix opposite
Scion Springs, and the hospitality
dispensed there will always remain a
bright and happy recollection.
Also we would like to speak good
word for the "ol' bus" which carried

A wasp's mandibles-a big, strong

Wasted Talents

I'm thinking OF a learned physician

ton, he never may come out again
man who once had high ambition
to benefit his fellowmen. A gifted
man who might have risen to any
pinnacle of fame, had any. purpose
true been his'n, or stern resolve TO
play the game; and now we see him
sent to prison, all bent and bur
dened by his shame No doubt he
was intent on making, when he was
young, an honest roll; the hard
earned kopecks he was raking, like
any other thrifty soul; but later had
a taste Of taking when he dug up
the southeast pole He might have
been moral banker, dispensing
coin at 3 per cent, some hamlet's
compass, helm and anchor, by no
cheap Uticas up-pent; but in his
heart there was the canker that one
small taste of taking lent. He might
have walked with merchant princes
and had chain of ten-cent stores,
dispensing nutmegs, nails and
ounces, and shipping prunes to for
eign shores; and now the law it's
might evinces by shutting tight the
iron doors. When once man be-
comes a faker he'll keep on chas-

devotes; he'll keep on taking till
his Maker gives him his place among
the goats.
