Evening Lrhat [|
The Jewish feast of Purim. one of
the minor festivals in the religious calendar.
will be celebrated this year on
the twenty-sixth of February. Purim
according to the scriptural book of
rlsthcr. wherein the tale is narrated,
means "lots."' lots having been cast
before Ilaman. vizier of Persia, for
the purpose of determining the day
most auspicious for the consummation
of his plan of exterminating all the
Jews dwelling in the land. But the
clay was fatal only to Haman's plans
and to Hainan himcelf. for through a
chain of remarkable happenings the
Jews were delivered from their imminent
peril and the doom he ljad decreed
for them fell on their enemy
himself. From that year to the present
time. Jews ail over the world have
celebrated the anniversarv of the rtr.v 1
on which the wondrous deliverance;
had occurred.
Strange to say, Purim is hardly"a;
religious feast. Religious features [
ended in comparatively recent times!
only accentuate the essentially secu-;
lar character of the day. Being in the :
nature ot thanksgiving festival, an '
expression of a people's gratitude for i
their ancestors* "providential redeinp-!
tion from an awful death, it has been |"
from time immemorial a day of "feasting
and gladness, and of sending por-1
tions to one another and gifts to the I
poor." In the mediaeval ghettos it i
was celebrated with al lmanner of |
merry-making, while in modern times j
it has come to be one of the days to j
which the children of the Jewish]
schools most eagerly look forward. I
A special synagogue service is held ;
on the eve of purim. at which the i
principal features is the reading of i
the Book of Esther, from a parchment j
scroll. In addition, there are a fewi;
special prayers and hymns of more j
recent adte which have been inspired i'
by tho recollection" of the woes and'
hardships endured b ythe martyr race]
from the days of Human down to :
brighter times. There have been i
many llam&ns in all ages who have
tonspired the degradation or extermi- 1
tation o fthe Jews, but, like their Per- ,
sian prototype, their plots have re- .
toiled on their own heads. And so j
he Jew looks forward to the day when ,
tlamans shall rise no more, the spec- ;
:er of religious and racial hatred will ,
>e laid, and an era of tolerance and
ove dawn far all the world.

came all the way from there to Paris
with them, he and his crowd, so he's
all right.
Brown ordinarily is a hard-cheeked
fellow with squinty eyes, but there is
no trace of a squint in him now. The
eyes are bulging with excitement, as
he grabs fat Dooflab and little Dingbat
by the coat lapels, leans as far to
the center of the table as possible,
and whispers, piercingly:
"We fellows,had better get right J
out of Paris'"
There is one instantaneous thought |
in the minds of all. and lanky Smith j
at the inner end of the table voices it |
hoarsely:
"What have you heard?"
"Everything's gone to the dogs!"|
Brown gulps .an dtightens his grip1
on the coat lapels. "The French ar-!
my has only one cartridge left! All |
they're waiting for now is to decide:
who gets to shoot it; then they're go-1
ing to evacuate Pans, and let the
Germans in, and. pood night!"
Brrrrrr! A chill like an ague descends
on the assemblage but little
Dingbat, -who is hopeful not because
he is an optimist, but because he hates
to die, moistens his lips, and asks:
"How do J'otf know?"
"I'm not at liberty to state." announced
Brown, looking around him
furtively and lowering his voice still
more. "But I may tell you this much
the information came originally from
a high authority!"
That settles it. Who Is there to dispute
a high authority? Something
like a groan is in the deep sighs of the
eight firm friends, and the silence is
broken by the harsh, hoarse voice of
Dooflab. saying "Beggo o* my coat."i
For Dooflab ,a jolly disposed fellow.I
form bis round face, and fifll of many j
a merry qaib and jest, is now pasty,
and can't breathe.
"It's those Judas Russians!" comes
a hollow- voice form near the end of
the table. White, with all the gold
teeth, and he has lines each side of j
his nose which were not there when
he dropped of? the train in Paris, and'
looked around for the war.
Russia! Terrible, menacing Russia!
Tense faces and strained eyes
turn anxiously toward White, and
Drown, releasing his hold on the,
wrinkled laPels. pushes in on the ]
plush bench beside little Dingbat.
What more can White have heard
about the Bolsheviki since noon?
"All Russia is united!" explains
Whtie. "They've been drilling for
months under German officers!
They've assassinated all the allied
representatives in Moscow and Petrograd!
They started yesterday on a
march to Verdun, a milion strong!
They're murdering everyone who refuses
to take up arms-and join them.
By the time they reach the German
frontier there'll "be four million of
them: and? "
The waiter brings the soup to a
table which is cold and danmy, and
tensely silent. The eight sit like
statues. They do not utter a syllable
in the presence of this little man with 1
the down-drooping black mustaches.
He may be a spy! and their informa- 1
Jon is Secret, confidential, valuable.

"5Uid yon have this* from a good :
authority?" pipes up little Dingbat. 1
m? umw 11m seed to be shrinking
away from the six hairs of his little
mustache, leaving them to stick
straight oat, alone and unsupported. j
"Hlgh/'^affl rms White in awe; "a ;
?a man connected with the army!"
"By George!" Jones slams his fist ;
on the table so hard that'the soup in
the plates' jumps into little peaks. ;
and Dingbat spills his wine ordinary
as all turn feverishly to the redhead.
"Xow I believe it! Boys, a man told
me something this morning, in strict
confidence, which I couldn't swallow,
in spite of the fact that the thing
came almost directly from a high authority;
but now that 1 know this
Russian situation, I see that it was
right! The Italians, have secretly
ceded to Germany all their territory
down to. and including, Rome! And
the canal is to be completed cutting
across below Rome, which will leave
the whole southern part of Italy an
island, under the protectorate of the
German Empire, with the capital at
Naples!"
"My God!" voices little Dingbat,
tremulously. "I have my steamer
tickets for the twelfth, and I hope. I
only hope, that Paris will be safe until
then."
"Well, I'm here, and I'm going to
.tii-vr" declares Jones. Ills freckles i
becoming more intense, as his good i
,2.tv squares. , I
There is a general reflection of the '
spirit of Jones on every face, except 1
that of little Dingbat, who clings ten- '
aciously to the fact that he hates to '
die.
- Maybe the British can keep .hem i
out," suggests Brown. "They did, J
you know." I
"The British!" Grey looks around <
at the boys meaningly, and they turn 1
pitying eyes on Brown. I
"Haven't you heard about the Brit- 1
ish?" inquires Smith, shocked that;)
there should be such ignorance in i
Paris. "Tell him. Gray!"
"Oh. nothing," says Gray, affecting
an extreme nonchalance of manner.
He's a rough sort of citizen, is Gray. 1
the kind who wears a soft collar and J
a fuzzy hat, and speaks hard and
lapghs loud, and conveys a general i
impression with his shoulders of being
ready to fight at any and all times, and '
is always dragging sica cats home. <
"Scarcely anything. Brown! Only ]
this; ail that remained of the British
army was wiped out at Cambrai! 1
There's nothing left of it but the offi
cers you see in London and Paris. '
They're going to form themselves into '
a resigeut. and go up there for the 1
'tio British nation, and all be }
killed oil in one last forlorn-hope dash, 'J
next Tuesday at 1:15 p. m.!"
"Brave fellows, the British," ob- '
selves Jones, with the solemnity of !
church, and his sentiment is reflected
on every face except Dingbat's, who is ' |
too much shocked to have any expres- j
sion.
"It's rough that we don't get the j
truth at home.' Dooflab pours the wine (
from the big tilting magnum with a ,
fir inhand. though his face is still pas- j ,
ty. "However, we're in this thing, and ! s
we're iu it to stay, and. by thunder, j <
we'll do something! We're overlooking j ,
the fate that oru fine husky United t
States soldiers are ready to go into action.
and hungry for it! 1're heard, on j
pretty high authority, that we have ;
something like five million here now!
"Five what!" Agonized little Ding- j"
gat violently plunks out one of.thc six
hairs of his mustache. "Is that what
you're basing your hope on! Now I'll
tell you what I found out, and from a
very high authority, though I wouldn't
repeat it except here among friends,
whom I know and can trust." His eye
wavers with merely a slight flicker
of dubiousness toward the man who
had come on another boat. "The American
army in France consists of exactly
1.427 men! And there isn't a bean
to feed 'em with! They have nothing |
but tobacco! They were dumped out j
in the freezing mud up near the front,
without arms, ammunition, clothing or
shelter; and they're dying of starvation
and exposure at the rate of 100 a ;
day! You can figure it for yourself.
In 14 1-4 days?"
And so it goes. Among the newly
arrived in Paris, rumor madly follows
rumor, each more wild, more fantastic, '
more silly and absurd than the one ;
upon the heels of which it treads. The :
trouble is sudden proximity. Those
fresh fiom across the raging sea ap- ,
proach Paris with the feeling that now j
they're in the midst of the biggest j
thing that ever happened in the ,
world; and they expect big . things
to start seething the minute they arrive.
The big things don't, and the '
Paris papers furnish very little ex- ,
citement. The daily news is usually
printed on one small sheet, about IS I
inches by 22.-and there's only room. I

arid descriptions with -which at borne |
: sweetened my coffee! What else Is j
be censor withholding: besides the I
jaady' details to which I am accns-.l
iomed. and to which I have an ixulien-1
ible right? Aha! j
It is then that he falls a prey to the I
irild rumor and the hoarse whisper.
These all emanate from one mysterl-!
>ns source; and if the police ever sac- I
gedinlocating him, they'll swing Mr. j
High Authority from a lamppost, tor
ie is a German agent, either by design
jr accident.
He most be a vrondrous creature,
this High Authority, whom no eye hath
seen, but whom every ear hath heard.
He sits in some damp cellar, and
loes nothing but read between the
lines until he is full of poison, whereipon
he whets his stinger and sallies
forth.
Beneath the new arrival's tender
skin he inserts his subtle virus, and
hstantly, violently, that new arrival
starts into ever widening circles, pop;yed
and yelping.
When the new arrival becomes a
seasoned dweller In Paris, when he has
!>een here long enough to discover to
lis amazement that the sun still rises
in the east and sets in the west, and
that night still succeeds the day in
infailing alternation, he is immune
from the virus of High Authority bemuse
he has been stung before, and is
inoculate.
By this time, moreover, he has the .
jreat big idea about this war which j
lie was all along trying to get, and t
hat big idea turns out to be plain, in- i
lividual duty! so he tells the hoarse- :
v whispering confidant of High Authority
to go to hell, because he's busy
iustling potatoes out to the front line
trenches!
As for the Frenchmen, he only
shrugs his shoulders at the buz-..
zing of the rumor bug.
He has no time for such feverish t
frivolity as the consideration^ of what
might possibly hapen next r naay. 1*.
something else, which, never does,
might possibly happen on Thursday.
He's been busy with this war for
:krec and a half years, and he has reduced
its conduct to three cardinal
principle?.
FIRST, it is the duty of the soldier
to go out and stand in the spot asiigncd
to him, and. with the same sublime
courage of those who have died
'or his cause and the cause of France,
vhich is the cause of civilization, fight
jntil that cause is accomplished;
5ECOXD. it is the duty of the civilian,
besides holding intact the economic
ind domestic institiftions of the coun:ry.
to send the soldier to the front,
'eed him there, keep him clothed, put
i gun in his hand, and supply that
run with endless bullets; THIRD, it
s the duty of every purveyor of pessimism.
every bearer of depressing
ales which might weaken enthusiasm,
very disseminator of grotesquely tcr-ifving
may-be-sos or might-happens
vhich would tend to interfere with
steadfast purpose, every rumor-mong?r,
in fact, to hand himself over to the
nilitary authorities, and he shot for
he traitor which he undoubtedly is!
It's a grand little idea, come to think
t over, for any nation which is sendng
its sons to the war.
