"Wonderful,"
"That trip added 10 years to

"It's the bank," said Moe hand-

Jake listened for about 15

BEGGING LIKE a Gentleman.

One day, Mandelstam, who
had just moved up from the
poorer section of the town into
the rich, and who had acquired
in the process a secretary, re-
ceived a letter from his son
who was studying in another
city.
The secretary who had just
been bawled out for something
or other, read the letter brusque-
ly. The son had written: "Pa,
send me some money. I need a
tuxedo and a coat."
"What a disrespectful son I
have raised," Mandelstam com-
plained. "Just imagine all the
Money I spent on him, and he
writes me such letters. He won't
get a cent from me."
Later on his wife Maleah
came in, looked at the letter and
explained: "Oy pa, look at the
kind of letter our poor son
Moishe writes us." As she read
the letter her voice was vibrant
with pity for her boy.
"Now that's different," Man-
delstam said. "Now Moishe is
asking like a gentleman. I'll send
him some money right away."

SHARING JEWISH Troubles.
Two Jews met on the market
place. "How's business," said
Chayem to Zalman.
"So, so."
"And how are you?"
"Azoi."
"And your wife?"

nice meeting you and having this
heart to heart chat over our
troubles. Helps get things oft
one's chest, you know."

NATHAN AUSUBEL• in his fa-
mous Treasury of Jewish Folk-
lore relates this remarkable story
that has its origin somewhere in
the market place of Minsk or
Pinsk. Ausubel's version has it
pretty well Americanized.
Levine, says Ausubel, bought a
diamond and emerald ring for
his wife. At lunch he showed it
to his friend Benny Siegal.
"What did you pay for it?"
Benny asked.
"Five hundred dollars."
"Five hundred dollars! You
don't say. I'll give you $700 for
it."
Levine thought of the wofits
and sold the ring. But the next

"You dope," Levine cried,
and the United Jewish Appeal.
"What do you mean doing such
a thing? Why, look at the liv-

that ring."

Siegal was just about to give
the ring to his girl friend, when
his partner Moishe Berman saw
it and offered him $1,500. Unable
to resist the profits, Siegal sold
it.
The next day Levine grew
lonesome for the ring and of-
fered Siegal $1,200.
