re RVE FEAST OF Festival Begins s With Sunset on Thursday and Continues Through Friday. - , CLOSES GRAIN HARVEST On Friday, May 17, the' great Jew ish festival of Shabuoth, ' or Feast f tt'eeks, will be observed in all tf ple3 and synagogues throughout vorid. The festival will begin, in :0rdance with Jewish religious torn, at sunset on Thursday and wih continue until sunset Friday. Ortho dox Jews will likewise ooserve tha next day as a supplementary festival. In Reform temples children from 13 to lo years of age will be continue : vrith appropriate ceremonies in t. reli if their fathers. According to Biblical injunction giis festival was observed in. ancient Palestine as one of the three great harvest festivals. Ie was celebrated on the 50th day after the beginning j- tjl0 Passover;, hence its common name, Pentecost, i. e., in Greek, the fiftieth day. It marked the clos of be season of the grain harvest Upon this festival the first sheaves of the urious kinds of grain grown in Pal estine were offered as thanksgiving sacrifices to the Lord. On this fes tival, as on Passover , and Tabernacles, the people wiuld pilgrim to Jerusa lem in vast numbers, from all parts of Palestine, and. even from remote -orners of the globe, to participate in "(be joyous festal. worship. at the great temple. It has been estimated that at times upward of a million pilgrims assembled in Jerusalem upon these occasions. . .- Ia post-Biblical times the festival was celebrated, also as the anniver sary of the giving of the Ten Com mandments to Israel on Mt. Sinai and the solemnization of the eternal cov enant between God and Israel, as de scribed in Exodus 19 and 20. In com memoration of this event Reform Ju daism has fixed the confirmation of its children upon this dvy, that they, too, may enter into solemn covenant with their God, even as their - fathers did over 3,000 years ago. The confirmation exercises them selves are most impressive. The chil dren, simply gownedr-the girls in vir gin white, ascend the altar to partici pate in the worship of the day. The most important part of the service is the reading in Hebrew by . one or more of the children, from the sacred scroll of the law. The portion of Ex odus 19 and 20, narrating the giving of the Ten Commandments is read. Thereupon the confirmants recite to gether the Ten Commandments and the fundamental articles of . faith of Judaism, which they accept. The ser vice concludes with the solemn bless ing of each individual child by the Rabbi. . . . . .

STRANGERS IN CITY A warrant charging Laurence Hes ter, an employe of the Delgado mills. with assault was sworn out before Justice John J. Furlong last night and will be served during the day, and therein lies a "sob" story of the first water, provided, of course, that the story told by Ransom Ward and his young v.ife, both employes of the mill; until p clay or two ago, is authentic. They :, -e to Justice Furlongs office! late ye.erday afternoon for advice- with nowhere to la y their heads for the night, according to their state mentsand got a warrant for Hester, I wno is alleged to have assaulted their three-year-old child by putting the baby and a young girl out of the house occupied by the Wards and nail ing up the doors. Both Mr. and Mrs. Ward were em ployes of the mill. The young man stated that he was employed as an oiler and that his foreman wanted him to do additional work, the com bined jobs being beyond his ability all for $2 per day. That he advised that compliance with the request was impossible and was told that he could get out. Young Ward stated that he intended leaving the mill shortly and seeking employment at the shipyards and cared but little for the mandate of his foreman. Mrs. Ward, he stated, was still employed in the mill. -The family was living in a house owned by the mill. They stated that neither were at home yesterday after noon but that a sister of Mrs. Ward was there with their three-year-old baby. Mr. Hester is alleged to have visited the home and without author ity other than mill authority ejected the baby and young woman and nailed up .the doors without, however, re moving any of the furniture that the Ward family claims. The Wards are strangers here. 'They were brought to the city by the mill authorities from Lancaster, S. C, recently, they claim, and had been employed since in the mill. The mill furnished their transportation and both stated that they had "put in" sufficient "time" to settle this debt; that they were not indebted to the mill in any way. They allege they found the doors of their home securely locked and their baby out in the rain. The warrant for Hester was drawn after the matter had been laid before Justice Furlong.

Now a little 50-room Palace up on the Hudson, And a private yacht, . And swimming pool, And billiard parlor. And a few things like that, Would satisfy me. f It just goes to show Happiness is not based On the material things. What pleases you today Will bore you tomorrow. Only a few hours ago The landlord dropped in. He's a material person. He thinks he wants his rent He doesn't know That when he gets it Hell probably spend it, And then be after Some other fellow. That landlord is happy If he just knew it. There are bigger things To do in this world Than to go about Collecting rent. What does rent amount to? Nothing. Just so much paper, Or perhaps a little metal. What good will rent do, 0 J noal In the next world? ' A man should think Of bigger things in life, And besides I paid the rent Once before, And I've only bejfh here Going on three years. Rent should not be The zenith of life.
