END OF THE RAINBOW;
BY ELIZABETH A MOOBE.
Ever since Nelly could
had known that anyone who could reach
tne end of a rainbow before it faded:
would find there g-eat treasures. Janet,
me nurse, tnaa oiten told her so. and of
course J anet knew. The stories did not
always agree as to what these treasures
consisted of, but whatever else there
was or was not, the "pot of grold" was
always sure to be there. WhenevPr
Nelly had seen a rainbow, in her short
life of nve summers, she had been
strongly tempted o hurry off and seek
these wonderful riches; but Janet had
always objected that the grass' was too
wet, or it was too near tea time, or
given some other reason, so that the end
of the rainbow had never been reached.
But Janet had gone away now, be
cause something had happened, Nelly
didn't know just what, that had made it
necessary to dispense with a great many
things they formerly had. First the
pony and carriage had gxne; and then.
Janet, who had lived with them ever
since .Nelly could remember, had kissed,
her a great many times and gone away
too. And onlji-a little while before she
hsd heard papa and mamma talking
about something which worried them
very much, and her papa said :
"I'm afraid we will have to sell the
place and move somewhere else, A few
thousands of dollars would set everything-
right, but I don't see where it's
to come from, and we musn't go into
debt."
Nelly had not waited to hear what
her mamma replied, but ran out in the
garden in great grief.
Sell the place, he had said, and move
somewhere else! Why, Nelly couldn't
bear even to think of such a thing. She
loyed e very part of her pretty home with
its roses climbing over the porch, and
the cool, shady corners where the ferns
and mosses grew. It was bad enough
to lose Janet and the pony and the other
things which she remembered they used
to have and now did not have ; but this
was too much, and Nelly threw herself
on the grass by her own little flower
bed, where the bi pink lady slippers
that she had herself plantedVere just
coming out, and wept. But not for very
long, for, thbugh such a little maiden,
she saw that tears would not solve this
awful problem of what to do, so she
dried her eyes on her apron and tried
to think. A few thousands of dollars
would set everything right, her father
had said, but Nelly had no more idea of
how much that was than her kitten Puff,
wildly scampering around the lawn
after his tail. There was Uncle Ben,
that is, her papa's Uncle Ben, who was
oh, very rich. But then he was away
off and had not been to see them for a
long time, not since the apple blossoms
were all out, and that had been a very
long- while ago.
Suddenly a bright idea came to her.
There was the pot of gold at the end of
the rainbow, if. she could but get it.
There had been only, one or two rain
bows this summer, but when the next
came she would run all the way, to be
sure to get there in time. It was true

they almost always came after thunder
storms, and Nelly was dreadfully afraid
of thunder, but now she looked up at the
bright, blue sky and sighed that there
was not even a cloud in sight. "Well,
it's awful hot," she said, hopefully,
'"and thunderstorms always come when
it's hot, so maybe one will come some
time soon," and, now that this difficul t
question was settled, she ran off and had
soon forgotten all about her troubles in
romping with Puff.
After awhile the 6kyj which had
looked so hopelessly clear, did begin to
cloud over, and toward evening,.f or the
first time in her life, Nelly heard with
pleasure, mingled with her childish
dread, the distant roll of thunder. It
came nearer and nearer, and before long
the storm, which lhad been gathering-
all the while she was taking her after
noon nap, came upon them. She kept
close to her mother all the while the
lightning flashed and the thunder rolled
over the house; for she had to own that
she was a little afraid, even though she
had been so anxious for the storm to
1 t 1 . 1
come, ana was very giaa it, was not a
very dreadful one, such as they had had
sometimes.
Presently the storm passed over, and
away low down in the west the sun came
out. To Nelly's delight a bright rain
bow appeared in the east and dropped
down just by the woods. Now was the
little girl's chance. She did not tell her
raother of her intentions, because she
wanted to surprise her and her father.
so she slipped off through the garden.
never heeding the rain which was still
softly falling. She climbed over the
fence at the end oi the garden and ran
down the little hill outside, and through
the fields that lay between her home
and the woods where- the rainbow
seemed to touch the earth. The gras3
was very wet and poor Nelly's dainty
blue dress was getting sadly draggled
and spotted. She tried to run between
the drops as Janet had said was tne waj
to do; but somehow she couldn't manage
it just right, and they came tumbling
down on her bare golden neaa ana eagr
baby face, as she hurried on, intent on
her loving errand.
Once she tumbled over a tree stump
and scratched her hand, but she only
staid: "Oh. dear," and rem on toward
the beautiful bow, which somehow did
not seem to get any nearer, no matter
how far she went. But the woods were
r ear, and Nelly could not see the end
rf the bow bevond, so it must be in the
woods, and of course the pot' of gold
hat was to secure her pretty home
must be there, too. 3his thought made
her hurry on again eagerly, as if the
treasure was already hers,
v RKa looked back just as ehe was en
tering the wood and saw. her home
ftwav off UT the hill; and saw too, that
Ithe sua was almost down, and that the
rain had nearly stopped, men sue gaxn
rpd lit) all her courage and went boldly
Into the woods. , She pushed through the
t little path, which she followed till sud-
denly, a little way before her, she saw
the treasure she was seeking!
She didn't see the rainbow" leading
down to it, as she expected, but that,
she thought, must be beeause it was so
dark in. the woods; but anyhow this
must be it. It seemed to be swung on
three crooked sticks stuck up in the
ground over some deadV leaves, 1 and
broken branches, and did not glitter at
all, as she had thought it would. In
fact it looked more like an iron stewpot
than anything else, and had a lid on so
she could not see inside. But Nelly had
not the slightest doubt that this was the
treasure of which Janet had told her,
even though its outward appearance
did not come up to her expectations.
She went over and tried to unfasten
it, and had just succeeded and was drag
ging it away, when a mn appeared on
the scene; a big, rough-looking fellow
that it frightened poor Nelly even to
look at!
"Hey, there, what' re you about?" this
man demanded, roughly.
"Oh, please, sir," cried Nelly, still
holding fast to her treasure, "I'se come
all the way from home after it, 'cause
my papa needs some money awful bad.
and I knew I'd find it at the end of the
rainbow and, oh dear, oh dear," and
Nelly broke down and sobbed in her dis
appointment and fright.
"What's 3-ou talkin' about?" asked the
man, not so roughly. "Stop j'our cry in' .
and tell me what all this nonsense is
about the rainbow. I'm not goin' to
hurt you.".
Somewhat reassured, Nelly stopped
crying and looked up.
"Why, don't you know," she asked, in
surprise, "that there's always a pot pf
gold at the end of the rainbow ? I saw
it come down here in the woods and I
ran all the way to get it for my papp,
who wants some money dreadful bad."
"Does, eh? That's funny. Well, so
do I."
"But you won't now, 'cause you've got
all this. Oh, dear, I wish I'd got here
sooner, 'cause you're a big man and can
easy get another."
"Why, bless yer life," said the man, at
last comprehending Nelly's meaning,
"that ain't no pot of gold. I only wish it
was. That there's my supper I was just
goin' to cook, only everything's so wet, L
don't know how I'm gom' to doit. Here,
look for yerself, if you don't believe
me," he said, as Nelly appealed incredu
lous, and he lifted the lid, displaying
to her horrified gaze some ordinary po
tatoes lying in their jackets ready to be
cooked.
Then all Nelly's courage disappeared
on the instant, and she cried in terror.
"Oh, I want to go home ! I'se so afraid !
Oh, dear, oh, dear!"
Just then they heard a sound outside
the woods of some one calling: "Nelly,
j
Oh, that's me, and somebody's look-
in tor me: un, 1 se so g-iad: xes, 1
comin'," and Nelly darted away from
the deceitful stewing pot and its owner,
and at the edge of the woods was caught
in the arms of no other than deivr, long
lost Uncle Ben.
Then once more safe and happy, kind
hearted little Nelly remembered the
lone man in the woods who had fright
ened her so, and who was so dreadf ully
ignorant about rainbows, and nothing
would do but Uncle Ben should go back
and see him, with the result that a gen
erous piece of money found its way into
the pocket of the forlorn stranger.
"Now, Nell, 3-ou rogue, tell me why
you ran off like this and scared your
mother so," said Uocle Ben, as he pulled
one of the wet golden curls that lay on
his shoulder. "Here I come to see you
and find the house in confusion and
everybody running around calling for
Nelly. And nobody knows anything
about the naughty girl, only Bridget
thought she saw her run down the hill,
and then poor old Uncle Ben, with his
rheumatism and neuralgia, has to go
out after his bad child, and finds her
talking to a tramp in the woods. Now
tell me what it all means, miss."
"Oh, Uncle Ben," said Nelly, "I didn't
tell mamma 'cause I wanted to s'prise
her and papa. I ran off to find the pot of
gold' at the end of the rainbow, that
Janet told me about, 'cause papa's got
to sell the house and move away if he
don't get some money. And, oh I
didn't find it, after all."
Uncle Ben laughed.
"Poor Nell, and she didn't find it.
Well, don't try again, or you may meet
a tramp not quite so harmless as your
friend of the stewing pot. But what's
all this about moving, Nelly ? You know
I'm a stranger and haven't heard all th
news."
So Nelly gave her version of the
troubles that had overtaken the family,
and how she was going to set every
thing right by bringing home the treas
ure ftm the end of the rainbow, and
then how it all ended.
"But now you're here. Uncle Ben, and
you'll do just as well," Nelly concluded,
with perfect confidence-in his ability
and willingness to furnish untold quan
tities of riches.
"Well, well," was all Uncle Ben said,
I came just ki time. (We'll have to see
about thiners. vou and I, Nell," and
Nelly knew thatUncle Ben's methods
of "seeing about things were always
satisfactory.
Uncle Ben was as good as his word,
and, though Nelh7 never knew how it
was managed, she knew it was through
him that their pretty home was not sold.
But the mystery of the rainbow and
its wonderful treasures has nt yei
been quite solved to her satisfaction.

Bat faction (JUAKANEED.
The convention f the American Jew
ish Historical society in this city has at
tracted fresh public interest in the
American Jew, or, to speak with more
national spirit, the. Jewish-American.
The voluminous labors of Solomon Wolf,
of Washington, have only recently re
sulted in a triumphant tleroonstration
of the unfailing patriotiFffi of the Jew
ish people of the new world. To quote
from a critic of Mr. Wolfs work, "he has
j roved beyond cavil that from an early
stage of our history down to the pres
ent day men of the Hebrew race and
faith have been counted in the van of
the country's progress, and in the fore
front of its defense. They have per
formed an ample part in the conquest
of our liberties and have fully shared
in the struggles for the preservation of
our institutions."
The coming of the Jew to the new
world was very early, indeed. He came
over with Columbus. Dr. Moses Knyser
ling, the renowned savant of Bud.t
Pesth, has proved that the illustrious
Genoese navigator had among his crew
in the three vessels which sailed from
Palos on August 3, 1492, members of the
race of Abraham. One of these Jews.
liodrigo Sanchez, a relative of the
royal treasurer of Arragonian Spain,
tvecompanied the expedition as veedor,
or superintendent, at the special reques
of Queen Isabella. The ship physician
and surgeon were also Jews. Sanchez
v.as the second to espy the land of the
new world before the shout of "Tierrn!
Tierra!" Col'Tibus had, in fact, studied
the astronomical tables of the Jewish
scholar Zacuto, and landing day, Fri
day, October 12, 1492, was strangely
enough the Jewish day of great
hosannas. It was like a prophecy of the
new life which the oppressed Jews were
to find in America, and a prediction of
the constantly increasing factor which
they were to become in the new empire
of the west.
The first definite Jewish settlement
in America occurred in Brazil about
1548. The first within the United States
took place in 1654, when 27 Jewish emi
grants from Bahia, South America, ar
rived in New Amsterdam. The Dutch
governor then was Peter Stuyvesant.
who had something of the Jew baiter
in his nature, bo that future immigrants
generally settled in Newport, B. I. Just
when the first Jews came to Philadel-
t phia is uncertain, but evidently some
time, before their settlement in the
southern states (Savannah. Ga.. 1733).
Samuel Keimer, the printer of Benja
min Franklin's Pennsylvania Gazette,
was most probably of Israelitish do
scent, for he kept the Jewish Sabbath
and wore the long beard. Mickveh Israel
(Hope of Israel), the first Jewish re
ligious assembly in Pennsylvania, was
founded in this city practically in 1747.
Philadelphia can well be proud of the
patriotic record of hex Jewish citizen
ship in the past, as recorded preem
inently in Henry Samuel Morais' com
prehensive work on "The Jewaof Phila
delphia." They have been in their high
est aspect typical Americans, t rue to the
oiew American ideals. We need but re
member such Jews as those whose
Mmes may still be seen in Independence
hall subscribed to the nonimportation
resolutions; to generous Haym Solo
mon, fit fellow worker with Kobert Mor
ris, who loaned over $350,000 to Uic
cause of the revolution and was never re
paid, and to Col. Isaac Franks, an aid
de camp to Gen. George Washington
Of civic dignitaries mention need only
be made of Simon Gratz, one of the
founders of the Pennsylvania academy
of fine arts, and Judge Moses Levy, also
a recorder of the city and a trustee of
the University of Pennsylvania, IJt
i Jewish citizens of to-day are nobly up
holding their heritage of civic honor.

I What is it that makes the daughters of

think that ihey would want to get as far
away from it as possible but, on the con
trary, every woman who can afford it
is wearing a snakeskin something about
her person. Bags aad purses, card cases
nd belts, the backs of gift bocks, toilet
accessories and everything else that a
woman can get covered with snakeskin
goes. The skin has come to cost as much
as Bussia leather, and "snake farms'
are now much more valuable as revenue
producers than wheat farina. It if
worthy of note that no woman of the
swell set has yet taken to wearing' a
tanned rattler's hide around her hat,
as the Mexicans do, but that will prob
ably be the beginning' of the "end of a
