Announcements are printed at no charge; however, there
is a S5 engraving charge for photographs. After the picture
has appeared in the paper, both the photograph and plate will
be available for pickup at The Jewish News.

Yiddish Stories About Schlemiels

Characteristically, Yiddish folk-
lore has no Paul Bunyan, but it
does have a Motke Ilabad. He is
the Jew who is forever trying to
make ends meet, but always in
vain. Good - natured, well - inten-
tioned, and desperately eager to
get ahead in the world, fate seems
to be constantly against him, and
he fails no matter to what he turns.
He is the arch-typical schlemiel,
and the mock: pathetic hero of
countless anecdotes. For example:
It is related that on one occa-
sion Motke llabad was reduced to
such straits that he was forced
to appeal to the heads of the com-
munity for help. "If you will not
support me," he threatened, "I
shall become a hat maker!"
- Nu," they laughed, "and what
if you will?"
"But don't you see what that
would mean?" he wailed, "If I
turn hat maker, all the infants in
this town will be born without
heads!"
*

Almost next door to Motke
Habad lived a very rich merchant

who was exceedingly haughty. Poor
Motke could not abide the latter's
snubs, and he finally confronted
him one day and cried: "Look. Reb
Hayyim, I can't understand why
you are so arrogant. Now, if I
were arrogant, there would be
some justification for it. After all,
I am a person of importance, for
my neighbor is the rich Hayyim
Stoltz. But you? Pooh, your neigh-
bor is that miserable Mot k e
liabad!"

Eat, drink, and be merry, for
tomorrow ye diet.
—William Gilmore Beymer.
