UTILE JEWISH UG
i MAKES DETERMINED
EFFORT TOO BECOME AX AMER
ICAN (.TTIXEJT—HAS tltoKHKh
OCEAN SEVEN TIMES AND
EACH TIME SENT
i -- - -
Now York. Dec. 12.—If determi
nation to become an American is a
praiseworthy ambition, little Benja
min Axelrod. 12 years old. Is worthy
of all praise. Six times he has come
o Amelia as a stowaway. Six
limes he hag been reported. Re
cently the lad arrived in sight of the
statue of Liberty for the seventh
time. The officials at Ellis island
expected him, and greeted him as
an old friend. Also, they will con
•tlnue to send him back, unless some
one comes to the lad's assistance.
But little Benjamin is not discourag
ed.
Benjamin Axelrod is a little, under
sized Jewish boy. He was born and
raised in the little undersized town
of Pechunka. In the little, undersiz
ed Russian providence of Podelia.
There were many other little Axel
rods at Uomo. and not ulwaya did
they have enough to eat.
To Poehuuka. in Podolia. there
I came storied of a great land beyond
I the seas, where prosperity abounded,
and where even little boys were able
to earn more copecks than a full
; grown mau in the land of the Great
, White Czar. In that great land—so
: ran tin; tale—no one went huugry
i to his bed. There brown bread and
dried fish were unknown as steady
articles of diet and—wonder of won
dors—nil folk ate white bread at
every meal.
Such tales appealed to the starv
■ er stomach and the active brain of
i little Benjamin. Ho would become
t an American. He would make his
, bisters fine ladies and his brothers
rabbles. He would make a home for
i hla father and mother in that great
i land of peace and plenty—that land
I whore none are persecuted because
; they cling to the faith of their fath
' ers.
I Resolutely ho set his face toward
, the setting bud. With a hamper of
j food on his back, he trudged across
■ Lithuania. Prussia and other strange
1 lands, to Rotterdam. No obstacle
was too great for little Benjamin.
; Where strong men would have fail
* cd, he succeeded. He stowed hint
j self away in the hold of a steamer,
l and after the ship had 'left port vol
unteered to earn his passage as a
dishwasher.
At Ellis island the determined lad
found his first real difficulty. He hail
no money, no friends or relative*
to vouch for him. Therefore—so
spake the atom official who represent
e<J the strong arm of the lew in great
America—therefore Beniamin Azel
rod must go back to P<y*huUka
T1V boy wan ♦placed on a returning
steamer bound for Rotterdam. if
any thought, however, that he would
so easily give up his mission, they
j reckoned without Benjamin Axelrod.
A few weeks later the Ellis island
beaurocrat again saw the homely
eager faco of littlo Benjamin. Again
he had stowed himself away, again
he had earned his passage by honest
toll as a <1 Is washer. Again the of
ficial hardened his heart. Again he
<ald. “Go back to Pochunka.’’ Again
Benjamin went back, but not to Pe
ehunka. Arriving at Rotterdam, he
boarded the next American-bound
steamer. How he eluded the keen
eyes of the ship's men, who had been
warned to keep a sharp lookout for
a little, undersized Jewish lad, is
| known only to Benjamin. Perhaps,
i since the boy has become an expert
! dishwasher and Th a willing and able
worker, the ship’s officers are not
i averse to his presence. In any event
j little Benjamin continues to come
back. Thirteen times he has crossed
the Atlantic in the last fow months.
Back and forth he goes, a human
I shuttlecock between Rotterdam and
N'ew York, where tho statue of Lib
erty blazes a welcome—to those who
have the price.
