For the first time the Hebrew resi-
dents of this city celebrated the Jew
ish New Year holidays here in their
own synagogue, which had been rented
for the occasion. A little later a new
synagogue will be erected. The jew
ish New Year began at shutdown on
Monday. According to the old Jewish
system of reckoning, it is the 5684th
year since the creation of the world
and the holiday was observed two days
among the more ritualistic of the
faith, ending Wednesday at sunset.
Yon Ripper, the day of atonement,
follows in 10 days. This is the season
for the exchange of greetings between
friends and relatives.
"Rosh Hashanah marks the begin
ming of a new veal in the religious
sense only" says a statement issued
by the Tract Commission of the Cen
trail Conference of American Rabbits.
ut must therefore not be ~confounded
with the secular new year, since it is
day not to mark time, but to register
anew high resolves of duty toward
God and man."

Dudley Field Malone, the New York
lawyer and wit, said at dinner party :
1.-THE jewelry shops Of the Rue, de
la Paix in Paris are all displaying
pipes for women-marvelous affairs
gold and meerschaum and amber
and gems-and you see the prettiest
women smoking these pipes at Pail
lards and the Ritz and under the
trees in Armenonville.
"At the club the other afternoon a
friend of mine took big plug of to-
bacco out of his pocket, bit off an
inch or two, and then held out the
plug to me.
"'Have chew?' he said.
"'No,' said L; 4 won't. And to tell
the truth, Bill went on, I'm good
deal shocked to see a man of your cul-
ture with quid in his cheek. How
did you come to take up this uncouth
habit?'
"'Well. you see," said Bill, since

HEED THE PILOT

VOU will seldom be in crowd of
4 men ar hour before you hear one
of them say:
IF l were twenty-one years old and
knew as much as do now, I'd be a
whale of success"
Perhaps he would. Perhaps he
wouldn't. But it is certain that If
he could begin life at twenty-one with
the experience of forty he would be
Ear better off.
And the curious thing about 1t all
is that he could avail himself of this
experience if he would pay heed to
the pilots who are always willing to
direct him.
What would you think of a man,
who, after asking a policeman for the
way to the railroad station, and get
ting the direction would deliberately
go the other way?
Yet that is what is done, repeated
ly. by almost every young man who
starts out in life.
From his father, his employer, from
older friends, he constantly receiv es
directions which, If followed. would
be invaluable.
They come from the experience
which these men have dearly paid for.
They are invaluable.
Yet youth is unheeding, and the adj
vice is almost instantly forgotten with
the result that the recipient has to
learn from an experience as expensive
and often as disastrous as that of the
man who counseled him.
If you are a young man You are
fortunate. Almost any of your elders
will give you sound and sensible ad-
vice-advice which you can follow to
your own profit If you will.
You can learn by the mistakes of
others. instead of by your own.
You can plot your own course from
chart which has been made by those
who have gone before you.
You will be wise to do it. Your
own experience is a good teacher, but

story of the dog that tracked the tur-
key back to the nest where it had been
Matched. The yarn recalls to my mind
hunting story that an old man of the
Ozarks told me few years ago, says
writer in that magazine.
Seventeen miles out from the little
village of X, in Missouri, lived an
old bachelor named Bill Green. In
those days the hills abounded in wild
turkeys and deer and he often served
as guide to hunting parties and to fish
ermen.
The season had opened and a party
of sportsmen from Kansas City had
secured old Bills services. In the. par
ty was young fellow who evidently
had had some experience in shooting
deer, but whose stories of his achieve
ments were exaggerated. and long the
other members of the party were tired
Of his boasting. They were astonished
therefore when old Bill, who by nature
was taciturn, said to the young fellow:
"Say now, that reminds ME Of the
other mornin'. I got up just fore day
and went down to the deer lick as
allus do, and there in the bright moon
light stood a great big buck. 1 raised
my gun and was ready to fire when I
noticed on the limb jist above nine tur.
keys roostin' in a row. At fust was
puzzled which to shoot at, the turkeys
or the deer. Then all at once thought
Of a plan. crept little nearer and
aimed at the limb where the turkeys
sat-, fred away, and at the same in.
slant threw my gun and knocked
down the buck; in second run up
and knitted him. Then looked above
where had shot and split the limb,
which held every one of the turkeys
by the toes Well, sir, took down the
turkeys, tied them together and hung
them around my neck; then / threw
the buck over my shoulder and started
for home, well satisfied even If I'd got
no more game that morning. But, sir,
as 1 was wadin' the creek the fish
smelled the blood on my clothes and
Jest run up my breeches legs; and
those breaches, bein' full big, got so
heavy / could hardly walk. And when
I tried to step out on the bank the top
button busted off and killed rabbit
ten steps away"
Needless to remark, the young
sportsman was silent for the rest Of
the day.

Why Suffer From Rheumatism?

Do you know that nine out of every
ten cases of rheumatism are simply
rheumatism of the muscles or chronic
rheumatism, neither of which require
any internal treatment? The pain may
be relieved by applying Chamberlain's
Liniment, which makes sleep and rest
possible, and that certainly means a
