Hilliard W. Goldstick is Elected to Comedy Club of
U. of M.
Those who attended last Sunday
evening's performance . of "All
Aboard,'' the play presented at the
Detroit Opera House by the Young
People's Society of Temple Ileth
El, will distinctly remember the
superb pantomimic work and fine
comic acting of Milliard W. Gold-
- stick, who took the part of the Em-
peror of Celestia Isle.
As a gratifying indorsement of
r. Goldstick's ability conies the
announcement of his election to the
Comedy Club of the Vniversity of
ichigau. T h e Comedy Club is
one of the foremost college dra-
matic organizations in the country.
and election to it is considered a
high honor and tribute. This year,
but five of the several dozen aspir-
ants to membership were elected.
.N1r. Hilliard W. Goldstick is the
son of Mr. and . 1rs. S. Goldstick
of this city, and is well known in
local amateur circles. Tie is a stu-
dent in the Dentistry School of the
university, and a junior in college.
Life Insurance and the
Marriage License
A man who cannot give his bride a policy of insurance upon his
life is too poor to but a marriage license or to pay a wedding fee.
There is no reason why wives cannot be trained to have the
same business sense that widows are forced to have—or go to the
wall. "Collier's Weekly'' says that a wife should not merely ac-

cept, but should demand that protection which is so often her
only safeguard against privation, if not actual poverty. "She
should insist that it be regarded not as an extravagance, nor as an
investment, but as a necessity. It must come before luxuries
such as super-millinered bonnets for the wife, and cigars or beer
for the husband. It should come before a savings bank account.
In fact, it should arrive with the wedding presents."

asked for money to go for the
medicine, Zelig snatched the pre-
scription and hurried away, still
murmuring: "I'll have to borrow,
I'll have to beg."
Late that • night, the neighbors
heard a wail issuing from old
Zelig's apartment ; and they under-
stood that the son was no more.
Zelig's • purse was considerably
thinned. He drew from it with
palsied fingers for all burial ex-
penses, looking about him in a
dazed way. Mechanically he per-
formed the Hebrew rites for the
(lead, which his neighbors taught
him. He took a knife and made a
deep gash in his shabby coat ; then
he removed his shoes, seated him-
self on the floor, and bowed his
D oo r old head, tearless, benumbed.
The shop stared when the old
man appeared after the prescribed
Ihree clays' absence. Even the Pole
dared 'not conic near him. A film
seemed to coat his glaring eve ;
deep wrinkles contracted his fea-
tures, and his muscular frame ap-
peared to shrink even as one
looked. From that day on, he be-
gan to starve himself more than
ever. The passion for sailing back
to Russia, "to die at home at last,"
lost but little of its original intens-
ity. Yet there was something now
which by a feeble thread bound him
to the New World.
In a little mound on the Base
Achaim, the "I louse of Life" under
a tombstone engraved with old He-
brew script, a part of himself lay
buried. But he kept his thoughts
away from that mound. How long
and untiringly he kept on saving!
Age gained on him with rapid
stride. Ile had little strength left
for work, but his dream of home
seemed nearing its realization.
Only a few weeks, a few more
months! And the thought sent a
glow of warmth to his frozen
frame. He would even condescend
now to speak to his wife concern-
ing- the plans he had formed for
their future welfare, more espe-
cially when she revived her pe-
cuniary complaints.
"See what you have made of us,
of the poor child," she often argued,
pointing to the almost grown
grandson. "Since he left school,
he works for you, and what will be
the end?"
At this, Zelig's heart would sud-
denly clutch, as if conscious of
some indistinct, remote fear. His
answers touching the grandson
were abrupt, incoherent, as of one
who replies to a question unintel-
ligible to him, and is in constant
dread lest his interlocutor should
detect it.
Bitter misgivings concerning the
boy began to mingle with the rever-
ies of the old man. - At first, he
hardly gave a thought to him. The

Widows never object to life insurance. But their acquiescence
is to o late. The damage is done and the chance is gone beyond
