Tho Bad Boy Becoming Good
HE TEM-H TIIE UROt KR WHAT HE
THINKS OP THE JEWS.
"Say, I don't want you around here
no more," said the groceryman
to tho l)ad toy, as ho came
in with his breeches tucked in
his boots, and wanted to borrow a
fish pole. "I have noticed you lately
going around a good deal with that
"sheeney" boy. Those Jews are no
good, and if you go with that boy you
will be ruined. Now keep away from
here until you let that bov alone," and
the groeerymr.n looked mad, though j
be was polite enough when u Jewish
lady, who lived in the same block,
came in and bought some groceries.
"Well, what's the matter with that
boy?"asked the had hoy, the blood
coming to bis face indigantly. "lias
he done anything that wnsu't light?
I hove never seen u hoy that was any
HtruighUr than he is."
"That don't make any odds Jews
are all alike. That boy will cheat
you out of your eye teeth, lie will
pinch a penny until the goddi o lib
erty will grunt. You a*k your pa wi at
he thiuks about your going v.i h the
Jew boys," and tiie grocery man look
ed as though, if bis advice wnstski n,
the bad boy would be .-uve.l.
"O, go way," said the bad boy. "I'a
says he bad ju-t as soon borrow money
of a Jew as anybody. Say, that
'sheeny' boy, as you call him, has done
me more good than any boy I ever
played with. He has taught me more
about the proper way to treat my par.
ents than auybodv. You ought to sec •
him ut home. He never plays any
jokes on his parents, and just a* ten
der to his ma as though she was his ,
best girl. His tnn isn't very healthy,
and he is always on the lookout for
ao.nething he can do to so save her a step
or make her enjoy herself. His pa is a
close trader in business, but at home |
the family has a regular picnic all the
time. There is never anything but
smiles in their house, aud the poor who i
come there to l>eg, alwavs go away
with ba-ket* full, ami *if the baskets
are too heavy this 'sheeny* boy that
you abuse, goes and heljis carry the
baskets home for them. He will work
all day to put up a swing for a poor
neighbor's children, and furnish the
# rope. I have seen him unscrew the j
top of his little savings bank and
take all the money out to give away j
to those who are destitute. And bis
father and mother encouiage him in
doing good. Why, be is the tender. |
est hearted boy I ever saw, and I am
going to stand by him. I don't care a
■darn whether his nose is put on side
ways, or endways, whether he says,
'has do k*och' or 'trn-la-la,' as long as
'his heart is as big as a peck
measure, and as tender as new aspara
gus, he is friend of mine and don't you
forget it."
"Well," said the groceryman, a lit
tle taken back, "(his one may he ail-;
right, but you ought to know that
the Jews crucified Christ, and you
ought to have some pride about you,
and go back on them like the rest of
us. It is fashionable to abuse Jews.'' l
"O, give us a rest," said the hoy,
mad enough to kick somebody. ".Sup
pose a few of them did lynch a man
eighteen hundred yean ago, they did
not know what they were about.
Didn't Christ say so, and didn't He
forgive them? If the one crucified
CJuld forgive them, what are you
monkeying about at this late day ?
You poor old fraud haven't got any
right to make that old affair a person
al matter, and put on any style over
people better than you are. I have
never heard of a Jew being in jail or
in a poor bouse. Tbey don't steal.
They don't put sand iu their sugar. I
•never knew a Jew to refuse to cou- ;
tribute to any chariuble object, or to
turn a deserving applicant for assist - j
ance away from his door. Some of,
them may be as mean as some of us ,
United States fellows, but they have
got to be awful men if they are.
Was the crucifixion of Cbirst the on
ly crime that was ever committed in
this world that should be remembered,
and the people prejudiced against the
perpetrator? Your ancestors in New
Kngland burned people at the j
stake on account of their religions
convictions. Suppose every New
F.clander who wears spectacles and
eats beans, should be looked upon as
you look upon the Jews, because their
forefathers roasted Christians on the
half shell,what kind of a society would
re hare, any way ? Their religion is
none of your bu.-inc.-s or mine, bu
you could learn a great deal thin
would benefit you il von could at'cllil
their synagogue for a few months, ami
listen to the teachings <>f a good Uub
bi. The only tliiug I have agaiusi
them, is that tlicy won't let theii
young people marrv amongst out
folks, but they will get over tliut senn
dav. If Jews should get to marry
ing Gentiles, it would be million
of dollars in the pickets of the pto
pic."
"Well, tbey won't eat pork," said
, the grocer, in- a lit-l urgutiu nt against
i the Jews. "Any people that will go
! buck on one of the groatot product.-
of this country, are to blame. If tin-
Jew-, would cat pork it would go up
two cents a pound, in a week,"
"O, you darn old bail," said the bad
boy, peleetly disgusted. "That i a
i pretty argument. Whi-ky is as great
a product of the -utintry as pork, and
vou don't drink whi.-ky, so you go hack
mi a great national product the muio*
ih they do. Tbey don't need pork in
their htisitu ami yoti don't need wlii

bov wiot out,leaving thegroctrthink

Mudo Ilim Tired
Mr. and Mrs. Nettlesou an- just
well enough matched to hold each oth
er'* own, as the saying goes, in whose
little domestic arguments which some
times arise belweeu the devoted. They
agree that fresh air is e-wentiHl to
health, but differ a- to the best means
of ventilatiou.
"Now, Mary," -aid Mr. Nettlesou
' die other night, "what's the ue of ar
guing with rue. The medical journal*
ay that the window should be raised
from the bottom, about five inches for
instance."
"John, you are wrong. The modi
| cal journals say letdown the window
from the top. I reckon I know any
thing when I sec it."
"A wonan treats anybody in the 1
wortd. Why, hang it, don t you know
that the warm air stays down and
that the cold, pure air goes up* Want
to raise the window to keep the foul
air in, don't you ?''
"This discussion has gone oil long
enough,'' and the determined gentle- 1
man raised the window, put a bottle
under the sash and went to !> d.
"Didn't you leave your cloth' "ti a
chair by the window ?"
"Yes. Think tlia' they'll krcii tin

"No; I was thinking how easy it
would be for a thief to reach in and
teal them. Did you take out your
watch ?"
"No."

"Don't you know that a thief
couldn't come tramping around here
without my hearing him ? Didn't 1
hear the dog that trotted across the
yard the other night?"
"I thought you was a sound sleep
er ?"
"Sound sleeper," repeated Mr. Net
tlesou,almost contemptuously." Women
beat anybody I ever saw. If a man
is wide awake they say he is sound
asleep After awhile you'll say I

"You do snore."
"I'd hush if I were ynu. Never

'How do you know
"Confound it, I reckon I'm there
when I snore."
"Hut you are asleep and can't hear

"Hush, if you please, and let roe
have a moment's peace. When a man
works as hard as I do, he don't feel
like being tormented to death."
"Oh, I won't torment you, gracious

he is very much afraid of consumption,
fh" other evening he got to roughing
and went to the telephone and culled
up Dr Whiteye, and told him he was
pretty sure he wo* in the first stage*
of consumption. Now Tickleribe had
\ iuve I a go.*! many jokes on the girl
at the central station, *o as soon a she I
Imard what he said, she rung tip a
•lure where a young man is in the
habit <>f practicing on a liass horn
about that time, and told him in her
awi'test tones ihat she would like him
to blow a short sharp bla*t right in •
front of the transmitter of his tele
phone, as soon as he htard the bell tin- !
kle. The young man got ready.
"OH ! 1 guess you're mistaken," said
the doctor.
"No I ain't. I/ae do time. Come j
right over at once."
"Hold on! Cough in the telephone." j
The girl who had been listening
jerki-d out the plug connecting Tick
leribs, put that connecting the has*-
horn in its place, and tinkled the bell
according to previous arrangement.
The young man dropped the receiver
from its book and blew a terrible hlast.
The girl immediately roslorrd the con
nection, and the doctor, after recover
, ing his astonishment, asked
"Did you cough ?"
"Yes. Ain't it pretty had ?"
"I should remark !" exclaimed the
| doctor.
"What shall I do?"
"Confine yourself to a diet of oaU
and baled hay."
"Oata and baled hay ! What do you
mean!"
"Why you are turning to a jack an
very rapidly, and you better begin
your new way of living at once. You
have symptoms of the consumption of
oaU and baled hay."
While the doctor wondered, and the
patient raved, the telephone girl split
her sides with laughter, and the inno*
1 cent young IMU tooted his horn iu ig
norance of what he had done*—
