lie SuZeO upon the SalaXy VI tnlhSs
displayed in the windows of the stores
he passed by, and could not but thinI
that they were intended for everyone
but himself. He was saddened at the
thought of how poorly he lived in a
dingy room up three flights of stairs In
the rookeries of Rivington Street-a
room made dingier by reeking walls
abarded chairs, rickety table and by
the poverty that seemed to enshroud the
entire neighborhood.
While abOorbed in these thoughts, he
was disturbed by the laughter of pass
ersby. They were happy. Why was
he, too, not happy? He tried to cheer
himself; but the more he tried to do so,
the more depressed he became. This is
the paradox of detection. For the first
time he became keenly aware of his
utter forlornness. He did not have even
one friend, one confidant, to whom he
could unburden his sorrows.
Four months trudged by, and he was
still teaching. One does not easily give
up the things one is accustomed to do
ing. But the following month he man.
aged to get n position in a shoe store
which was closed on Saturday. True,
his salary was small, much less than
the salary he got by teaching. This. of
course, he expected. The experience,
however, which he would acquire would
soon give him better opportunities.
From the very start the work was
distasteful. How could it be otherwise
to person whose whole life had been
stepped in study? But even under dis
coura gements, he was goaded on by one
persistent thought; that only through
business could he earn a great deal Of
money, and that only through money
could he secure the happiness which he
craved.
1t was not long before he made many
acquaintances. These were, for the
most part, Young men whose parents
were orthodox, but who themselves
smoked and did whatever else they
pleased on the Sabbath. At first he
Stunned them, then he tolerated them,
and afterwards he associated with him:
When he first entered upon his busi-
ness career, he went to a synagogue
regularly and saw to it that he did not
neglect his Hebrew studies. But as his
circle of friends grew larger and
larger, his study tagged more and
more: and, in the course Of several
months, his friends made decided ir-
ruptiOn into his religious views.
And so, one Friday evening, he-he-
Well, some of his friends had invited
him to a meeting of their sOciety-a
meeting which was to take place up
town. He liked very much to go; but
how could he go, since he would have
to ride on the Sabbath? His friends
rallied at him.
"This is America. Greenfield. You're
too foolish to see that religion does not
amount to much. Well arrange to
meet you at -"
Greenfield replied that he never rode

on Shabbos and never would ride. So
saying. he went home.
AT the appointed time, Greenfield
went to meet his friends. He was not
going along with them; he wished
merely to tell them that he was not 60
ing. When he met them, however, they
prevailed upon him by their waggery to
join them. The storm that had been
gathering now burst.
And so Greenfield was actually rid
ing in car on Shabbos. He skunk be-
hind his friends, as if afraid to show
himself. Where was he? His head
whirled. What was he doing? Oh, if
his father only knew
1 In the course of the next morning, the
rabbi of the congregation delivered his
farewell sermon. He was white
haired, royal-looking man, who, Green
field learned, had endeared himself to
his congregation. The infirmities of old
age made it necessary for him to resign
his position.
All ears were astrain for what he had
to say. Grenfeld's eyes were riveted
upon him.
"Unesane tOkeph kedushas-" the
rabbi faltered, and translated. 1--WE
will relate the powerful sanctity of this
day, for it is fearinspiring and awful"
"what is the origin of these words
that have flooded the eyes of Jews for
almost thousand years?' he went on,
in chosen Yiddish. There was a
learned scholar, Rabbi Ammon Of May
ence. who, unhappily, lived at time
when many had not emerged from the
slough of savagery and of intolerance.
Because he refused to renounce his
faith, n certain Archbishop of the Court
of Mayence forced him to undergo the
most excruciating tortures.
''ROsh Hashonah was then being ush
cred in. Rabbi AmnOn, despite his un-
speakable suffering, begged to be car
ried into the House of Worship, to pour
forth his prayers. Just as the cantor
was about to chant the Kedusha, Rabbi
Amnon cried out: Stop, that l may
consecrate the most holy Name. And
Immediately there burst from his livid
lips the unforgetable 'fords OF Unesane
Tokeph,-a poem which will immortal
lie this laudable martyrdOm.
"Our ears cannot but tingle," he went
on, 'as we read this poem, for it articu-
lates the feelings of piOus Jew, over
whose face, when he uttered, pail was
already spread. But, my dear friends.
he is only one of the innumerable array
of our forefathers who gave themselves
up to death rather than foregO our
long-cherished Judaism. -
When the services were over, and the
Leshonah Tovah greetings had been ex-
changed, Greenfield left the synagogue
with the rabbits sermon ringing in his
ears. Tears coursed down his cheeks as
he recalled his fathers last words. He
was again a good Jew.-The Jewish
Forum.

II When he was about to leave DvinsE
for New York, his fathers last wards
to him were: Always be Jew" And
if his mother-peace be unto her-had
been still alive, she doubtless would
have uttered the very same words.
When he settled in New York, and
the problem of livelihood tugged at
his mind, he took to teaching in a
cheder in the Ghetto. This position
suited him admirably for not only did
he train his pupils to be devout Jews,
hut found-ah, what joy to his father
"a great deal Of time for studying the
Talmud. And the more experience he
acquired in teaching, the more enthus-
iasm he evinced for his position and for
his own study.
But he had been living in the Ghetto
for only short time when he became
sorrowfully aware that many Jews in
the East Side were not religious. The
first Saturday afternoon he walked
along Orchard Street he was deeply
grieyed to learn that Jews-oh, so
many, had divested the Sabbath of its
holiness and clothed It with groveling
sordidness. Pushcarts, sprawling on
the curb, laden with almost everything
imaginable, real panthechnicon-silk
shirts. suits of clothes; perfumes, gloves,
telephone apparatus, druggists sup
plies the raucous, not Over-polite shout
ing of bolwzy venders; the incessant
haggling and> gabbling of purchasers
and would-be purcha this could
not but make him believe that these
persons had so far forgotten their re-
ligion that they not only failed to OBJ
serve the Sabbath, but alas they set it
aside rs the most important day for
business. Yet all of them, he thought,
were Jews in whom flowed the blood OF
forefathers ever ready to give up their
lives for Judaism. Oh, if his father
witnessed this desecration- For HIM
self there was only one thing left to do,
and that was to devote even more time
to whole sculed study to become bet
ter Jew.
Three years rolled by. He was now
twenty-one. He was still Hebrew
teacher, receiving very little more sal
airy than he received when he first ac-
cepted the position. Dissatisfaction
now ranklcd within him. 1t dawned
upon him that, If he was to get on in
this world, he must at once look for
some other work. But what was he to
do? For what work was he fitted?
Day after day he spent in worrying, and
before long he was melancholy.
One evening. while brooding over his
troublese, he decided to go out for
walk and clear his mind. As he sham
bled along Clinton Street there was
sharply borne in upon him the differ
ence between his own life and that OF
the sprightly youths sauntering up and
down the street His heart fell. All
seemed to be happy and carefree but
himself They seemed to be enjoying
life; they undoubtedly had good posi-
tions and bright prospects.

LAST OF LORDLY RACE
The American Condor, Bird of The
 Sferras, Is Doomed

From the sands of the sea, now climb the high Sierras; out of the swarming waters where the sturgeon where the condor breeds. The con dor, too, is doomed.
 The American condor is the largest bird that flies. Instead of the stur- geon's three millions of eggs, it lays but one at nesting time, and nests only every alternate spring This single shell cradles the race. One helpless chick, wrapped for months after matching in natal down is life's single strand.
 But it has held, and still holds, the glorious wings, suspending them above the sierras as from a star. Over snowy Hood 10 San Jacinto south swung the sky course of the condor-until the white man came to California.
 Now the creature is close cabined on the remotest Serras and is sell dom seen. He still lives, no doubt but I am watching to see him wind slowly skyward from his last lonely perch and, coasting westward, dis appear.
 Prodigal to meet the lust and saw agery of the sea, Nature is as par simonious where she can be as the sterile peaks in their passionless sun and air. Three million eggs for as many enemies in the sea, and single egg here in the heights. and

 CAPITOL STAR
Leading Woman In Miss Hula BBettS" Is Finished
 Home WreCker

Not to be outdone by his brother, Cecil B. De Mile, who arranged a remarkable furniture destroying scene in The Affairs of Anatol" with Wallace Reid as the destroyer, Will liam De Mile provided a similar stunt in his new Paramount pro- auction, Miss Lulu Bett," wherein Louis Wilson, as the long suffering Lulu, finally turns upon the Deason household, Wrecks the kitchen and raises ructions generally.
 Among other things, she dealt Theodore Roberts, who plays Dwight Deacon, a resoundlng whack on the jaw with her fist. By love-" ob- served the veteran actor, "she carries wallop like Dempsey"
 Tt was lots of fun" said Miss Wilson, who is proverbially mild tempered. T put myself in the place of the girl, Lulu, and thought of my long pent-up self-pity. Then 1 went to it-I smashed dishes and battered up that old kitchen till it looked like it had been hit by a cyclone. It was funny-but l got quite a thrill out of 1t all"
 Miss Lulu Bett" is the prize play by Zona Gale from her own novel and was adapted by Clara Beranger. It will be presented Monday and Tuesday here at the Capitol theatre. Milton Sills has the leading mans S dole.
 Miss Lulu Bett" is considered the best effort of Birmingham's far daughter in the motion picture in dustry, and is a picture that will be highly enjoyed by everyone.
 Wednesday and Thursday, Con- stance Talmadge in The Studio Girl" will be the attraction at the Capitol, and Friday and Saturday, Mark Twain's famous classic "Huckleberry Finn" should please thousands of fans who have never seen this remarkable picture
