Not 'iich a had formula from a man

of business men from the downtown
district who drop in for Yahrzeit.
New York’s Police Commissioner,
drover Whalen, who was drafted by
the city from John Wanamnker’s,
where he received a salary of $100,000
a year, was born on the East Ride and
as a boy earned pocket money by light
ing tires for pious Jews on the Sab
bath. He is said to have enjoyed quite
a flourishing patronage at a compen
sation of one cent per tire.
Louis Marshall had a weakness for
cross-word puzzles.
Stephen Wise’s big, sombrero-like
chapeau, which he has been wearing
since his return from abroad, is a bar
gain. Dr. Wise says so himself. “I
bought it in Europe for $7,00.”
WHY SO EXCITED?
Walter Winchell tells the story of
two Jews at New York’s mammoth
Grand Central Station. One of them
was pacing the platform very excited
ly.
“What is the matter?” asked the
second. “Why are you so excited?”
“I missed my train,” replied the
first.
“And by how much did you miss
it?”
”1 missed it by a minute,” came
back the reply.
“My God,” said’the second. “To see
your excitement one would judge that
you had missed it by an hour!”
A HOT WINTER’S TALE
They are telling this one about
one of the swanky apartment houses
recently erected by Benjamin Winter.
One day Winter passed one of his
edifices and, accosting the liveried man
in front, asked whether there were any
apartments to be had in the struc
ture.
“No, we’re all filled up,” was the
reply.
“Do you expect to have any in the
near future?” continued Winter.
“No,” was the brief retort.
“That’s rather unusual,” said Win
ter. “Just completed, and already all
illed!”
“Well, we’re filled. That’s all.”
“Well, that doesn’t happen to be
all in this case. I happen to own this
building. I am Mr. Winter.”
The man began to stammer apolo
gies. He had been told by the super
intendent, he said, that they did not
want any Jewish tenants.
“Hereafter,” said Winter as he left,
“You need take no note of ‘religion,
*aee of previous condition of servitude.’
If the people are of good character,
that’s enough.”
