428 he did not notice a whispered conference between his dachs and a little mole. ‘* Master,’’ said the faithful dog, “‘remember that it is always best to keep to the right.” The chase was a wild one. Cummings and the Fair One's cousin were neck and neck until, just before the last hurdle, the cousin’s horse on the left stepped in a mole hole and pitched his rider head over heels. The Fair One acknowledged Cummings’ victory and packed her trousseau for the West with high anticipations of the uncle of sucha nephew. The Railroad King was delighted and spared no expense on the nuptials, It was not long, however, before he became jealous of the Platonic affection between his wife and his nephew, Cummings. So insane was his feeling that he retired Cummings to the position from which he had risen as baggaye master in a female college town, where he was obliged to perform the most Herculean tasks at vacations and to twirl his thumbs between times. The Fair One's letters were intercepted and she would never » known where he languished if the faithful dachshund had not teetered out to her private car one day, as she stopped in passing through thetown. She sprang to the platform and followed the dog to the baggage room, where she clasped the grimy hands of Cummings in her own. The Railroad King had followed. He was so en- raged by what he saw that he went home on a special and expired of jaundice within a week. As there was then nothing to prevent, the Fair One of the Golden Rocks wedded the obscure baggage smasher, and as Mr, and Mrs, Cummings they lived happily ever after. Katherine L, Mead, On Their Own Testimony. Jewish Sentiment, of October 25, contains a cleverly written argument by W. M. Reedy, going to provo that anti-Semitism in America is on the increase. Among other things, b I find i Octobe here in the issue of these sentenes here i oe the Jew.

That is all there is in the question, and witil the Jews insist upon a higher standard ant exclude the wucorthy from sociat equality, just so tong will the Jews, as an entire people, be excluded and ostracized. This may not be palatabie, but it is true. There is a promising benefit in it all. When the ambitious young Jew is made to understand that by his actual worth only, is he gauged, then, and not until then, will he devote a little time to self- improvement. . The first step higher will be happily passed, and no more will the hotels and summer resorts find reason to advertise ‘No Jews wanted.” It is the offensive attitude of some Jews, and not the Jewish religion, which excludes all Jews from certain societies, clubs and desirable resorts. The Italics are ours. When Jews themselves admit that in America the majority of their race are “loud, vulgar, ignorant and self-assertive,’’ Mr. Reedy’s defence of them against Lire’s statements to the same effect seems slightly superfluous.
