One day both their homes burned down and they lost everything they owned. The Jew didn’t seem particularly affected, but the Rus sian went about distraught and wept to everybody who would listen to his sad tale. In desparation he came to his Jewish friend and asked : “I can’t understand. Why are you so content? Didn’t we both lose everything?” “Well,” said the Jew, “I still have my God. Hut yours is lying there in the house with the other charred remains.” A Modern Solomon Ever since Solomon saved the child over whom two mothers were battling for possession, Jews have been busy creating new versions to illustrate Solomonic wisdom. Incidentally, many of these tales contain excellent juristic pointers for our contemporary legal luminaries. Take this story, for ex ample, of the rascally Polish peasant and his Jewish neighbor. The Jew bought a cow from the Pole and brought it to his stable. To his consternation he was seized by the police next day, who said that the peasant charged the Jew with having stolen the animal. No protests by the Jew were of any avail. Finally the case came to court. Under oath the Pole insisted that he had been robbed and the Jew declared tint he had paid for the cow. When it seemed that the case was lost the lawyer for the Jew came over to the peasant, who was on the stand, and sa : d: "Now this Jewish neighbor of yours will have to spend months behind the bars. Think of his poor wife and children. Without his earnings they will starve. Won’t you show your com passion by giving a gold piece to help them along?” The peasant, yielding to the appeal, gave the lawyer the money. He step ped down from the stand. The judge cleared his throat to pronounce sentence. Just then the Jewish lawyer inter rupted: "The trustworthiness of this peasant as a witness has been complete ly smashed by a fact which has just come to my attention. A few minutes ago he gave me a gold piece for the poor family of the defendant. 1 have just found out that the gold piece is not a true coin and that we are dealing with a notorious counterfeiter.” At once the Pole jumped forward and shouted: "It’s a d lie! This is some Jewish trick they’re trying to pull. This gold piece came from the money which I got from the Jew when Ik bought the cow.” The Basis of Good-Will There is a very famous story which some good-will advocate in this coun try might want to use to further Chris- tian-Jewish harmony. It concerns an eminent Catholic bishop who, in dis cussing Christian-Jewish relations with an equally prominent rabbi, said: "You Jews must really hate us. Af ter all, you have a prayer in your daily services which gives praise to God be cause you were not born a goy.” “True,” said the rabbi, “but we also have a prayer which gives thanks to God that we men were not born women. It is our duty, of course, to love and to honor them.” (Copyright 1931 by Seven Arts Feature Syndicate) SIME SILVERMAN, editor and pub lisher oi Variety, in France is a fugitive from the law.
