Police Court Chronicles
Four lively Scots fresh from the good
ship Wwtcote went ashore to stir up the
town. They selected the neighborhood o
Belgrade and Clearfield streets, and pro
ceeded to surprise the natives with songs,
dances and wiestllug matches. Such pas
times are very entertaining ' when the
world Is awake, but when a community Is
wrapped In slumber the situation Is dif
ferent. AVord reached thn police station that a
riot was In progress and Policeman Wil
kinson started out to Investigate, lie found
tho four Scotch tars dancing the Highland
fling, much fo the disgust of numerous
motorists who were held up by the enter
tainment. The Scots quickly retreated
when the cops appeared and ran In all
directions.
But Anally little Irwin, an energetic
dachshund, came strutting along and the
eop put the dog on the scent Irwin put
bis riose to the ground and led Wilkinson
to a clump of bushes. There the blue
coats discovered two feet. Then they
found that they belonged to one of the
Scots. Just as the cop pulled the man oat
on the sidewalk the three Caledonian
partners am running up to effect a res
cue, but tboy surrendered when the cop
reached in his bac pockt Wilkinson
marched the quartet to the Belgrade and

"Sly paper is the story of the son ot

nilsaarlat of the Hlstoiical Association
Sho digs up and ai ranges tho material
for others to prepare papers; she goes
through the publications of general (I. e.,
non-Jewish) historical 'societies, fiom
various States of the L'nlon, to find ref
erences to tho Jews.
Perhaps the best-know woik of Miss
Con den Is the Index, a 6C0-pago book, for
the first 20 volumes of the Jewish His
torical Publication Sorlet, which thereby
opened up tho otherwise Inaccessible mass
of material. She also prepares tlie copy
and reads the proof of all material pub
lished by tho association.
"Two or three months ago," said Mis?
Cowen, who It only half way between
S und 30, "while going thiough some ob
scure lepoita of the Immigration Bureau
at the Astor Library, I atumbled across a
refetence to a Jewish colony In Florida In
the beginning of the last centur. I fol
lowed up the clue, and found that a Jew
named Levy, the founder of one of the
earliest colonies In Florida, was the
father of tho prominent Senator. David
Yulee, of Florida. The latter served as
Congressman fiom Florida at the 27th
and 28th Congresses, under the name of
Levy, and as t'nlted States Senator from
Florida, from 1315 to 1851 and from 1S5S
to ISol.
"I found that the grandfather of David
Levy Yulee was a Mohammedan prince of
Morocco, and his mother a Jewish woman
of England. We had always thought
that tlie name Yulee was formed by a
transposition of the letters L-e-e-v.y, But
Senator Yulee's biographer States that the
name of the Moroccan prince, the Sena
tor's grandfather, had originally been
Yulee and that he assumed the name of
hla Jewish wife Levy and that his grand,
son, the Senator, had resumed the original
family name,''
JOY OF FINDING THINGS.
"It's the Joy of finding; things that gives
the strongest interest to one's work," paid
Miss Cowen, "It's pure adventure Into
unknown territory when J have unclassi
fied, unrecorded books or manuscripts io
read "
Miss Cowen was one of the first friends
of Mary Antin when the latter was liv
ing through the earlier experiences In
America, at, insi time jjary Antln was
expressing herself In verse. Miss Cowen
Jells a story pf Mary Anita, then but 10
years old, and staying with the Cowen
family.
JJtOe Mary was missing from her bed
at midnight. Tha family was aroused
and after a hunt through the house the
child was found writing poetry at the
library table.
Thcsa friends ppw have places In
American literature: tha one aa a repra.
