the little man had excedeed the spun

did not continue. I was in the land of 1
the most truthful people that the,
world possesses. Nevertheless, I'
sought an explanation.
"What makes your people retain i

I would live their lives joyfully, so hap-
1 pile, so cleanly and beautifully that
they would never lose the feelings of
youth. This determination has re-
mained with our people to this very
day. We have vindicated our small
stature. Our littleness of size has, in
fact, been our greatest blessing. Be-
cause we never weary, never feel old
or weakened, we live our lives in an
endless snirit of joy and love for
beauty. Our aim is to be barmy, and
happy we shall always lee. When you
go back to your native country you
will tell your peyote that you have not
only seen the city of the Little People
but the city' of the Ilappy People."
Cart-fully I observed the exquisite
rapture that came with his words. I
really could not help feeling that I
was truly in the city of the Happy
People.

THE GREAT HILLEL

Iiillel was a great rabbi and teach-
er, but though men came from many
lands to study under him he never be-
came vain or pompous. Above all, he
woo never known to become angry.
One clay a man wagered that he
could make Hillel lose his temper. He
n.ushed up to Milers house rand in a
loud and disrespectful manner shout-
ed, "Where is Ilillel?"
Hillel came out and quietly asked
the man what he wished. "I have
some questions to ask you," said the
rude man. "I wish to know why the
Tamorians have weak eyes."
