12 THE GLEANER new species of oats, for which discovery the Palestinian Government tendered him a large tract of land. He sold this land to Farm School which they are now using for post-graduate courses. so thru this method the colony was easily settled. He invited mc to stay for supper, but assuring him that my business required my presence I left, with many thanks for the pardon he promised to get. The ride back was long and monotonous, and wish- ing to while away the hours, I purchased an American magazine, which l had always enjoyed reading even at the school. A full page advertisement to this effect, attracted my attention. Coach Wolf says: - The Hutzpah College football team w'as able to beat the strong Pitt eleven, by using my strong inimat- able onions. ' In Onions there is Strength. USE WOLF'S ONIONS Address, Onionville Farm, Abyssinia, Africa It was nothing less than one would have expected, for the Gleaner once stated that Wolf, Football and Onions was a trio, unseparable. In New York, I was forced to walk thru the Bowery due to subway operations along Broadway. I felt rather hungry but not having time to dine in a restaurant, I stopped at one of the stands near the curb, What seemed to draw me to this stand was a sign placed over an oven of sizzling frankfurters. Katz's three-legged sausages. Kan't be Kompared to any. I purchased a few, bit one, dropped them into a barrel, placed there for that purpose and agreed fully with the sign. But by this time I had associated that sign with the peddler and shaking his hands vigorously I informed him of my personage. After our greetings had subsided, he drew a card from his pocket and said, If you ever need a good suit visit this store, they got an- tiques but they wear wonderful. With the price of lemon peels sky high, and chicken feathers at a premium, the cotton production in the South is decidedly on the de- crease. but still I recommend this store to you, because I get part of the profits on all the customers I send, so give them a trial.

THE GLEANER 11 his misfortune, I urged him, to relate his story to me, which he did. After graduating from Farm School, Segal and I secured positions in Hog Island. Everything went smooth until both of us fell in love.' Here h 2 stopped to brush away a few tears. He continued, they were twin sisters and could only be distinguished from each other by a scar one had on her big toe. We loved them so that the very ground they walked upon was sacred to us. Well, one night in a moment of weakness, I al- lowed myself to become saturated with drink and going up to my fiancee's home, I entered just in time to see Segal hugging the girl that I thought was mine. Craz- ed with drink I drew my 32 out- Here he broke down and wept. I pitied him and tried to assure him that I wou'ld use all my influence in procuring a pardon from the president. As J. Mannus was a close friend and advisor of the president, I told him that it would be so much easier. At hearing this, he brightened up some- what and begged me to do my utmost. Just then the: jailer came' in to tell me that the mis- take had been rectified and that the judge sent me his regrets. Unheeding his remarks, I rushed down to the office and told the manager of the pitious plight my class- mate was in and asked him for a few days leave to go to Washington. He consented readily and I took the next train out. Upon my arrival, I sent in my card and was immed- iately granted an interview. Narrating the story once more to Mannes, I pleaded for a pardon, which hr. as- sured me he could no doubt get. He showed me a telegram that he had just received from Rosenberg, who had recently been elected presi- dent' of Palestine. It read: Was elected president. Received wonderful sup- port from Farm School city and my party, The Kosha Hozasf' But what is this Farm School City he mentioned, I asked. Haven't you heard how the Farm School Colony became so large that it secured a charter and is now a city? Indeed, not, I answered sheepishly. It was this way, went on Mannes, Sam Miller was one of the iirst Farm School pioneers in Palestine and while there with the knowledge he had obtained from Viener on Wild Oats, he was able to discover a

THE GLEANER 'J Glancing at the card Iinoticed I would have to pass the store to reach my destination, so I decided to stop in and see what they would offer me in the way of bargains As I approached the store, an announcement in one of the windows assured me that I was about to meet an- other member of the 19 class. The sign read: Revolution on all Clothes Prices are Boiling Buy while they are Hot Special Outfitters of Ypsals . That was enough, I had no need to read further, revolutions and Jack Miller were one and the same. As I entered the store a tall, young fellow, who seemed to be the clerk, walked over to me. Is Mr. Miller in?', I asked of him. Hes never in the store, he replied, When business is good, he speaks for the Capitalists and when its slackg he's heart and soul for the Socialists. The clerk was rather talkative and continued without questioning. That fellow don't take any interest in his wife and nine children at all,-I've seen him many times with young girls. This was enough to convince me that Miller had not changed any since he had left the school. When I returned to the oflice, I found a note on my desk which advised me to go to Philadelphia for an inter- view with the divorcees Goldsmith vs. Mrs. Nauma Feine Goldsmith. I thought I had better see the female in the case first, as she was the one who had started the pro- ceedings. She told me that she felt herself entirely right in wishing to separate and immediately poured out her grievances to me. My husband would bring home his pay envelope Saturday nights and when I would ask him for my allowance he would feign deafness. Thru this cunning method I never got a cent from him since wel was married. One night I plucked up courage and de- cided to test him. So, while he was deeply engrossed in one of the novels, Mr. Young's grandfather donated to him, I dropped a coin behind him. I-Ie jumped up quickly as if from a nightmare and recovered the coin, he thought he had dropped. I immediately opened pro- ceedings against him,', she finished abruptly. As far as I was concerned, I had enough material for a newspaper writeup, and bidding her adieu, I wished her the best of luck, for I felt that she was abso- lutely right in her Views,
