Mr. Price g?T8 tbe stockholders a
dinner at the Butler grill room Satur
day before laat at which he said:
'?I have been strongly impressed with
the possibilities of a financial institu
/ 'ion h wing investment features con
s aetffl with it, since I came to the eity
from Alaska, and it was with this in
mind that I first started the organiza- i
tioo of the Northern Securities & Bank
ing Company along investment lines
only. f
"Tbe Alaskans backing tbis institu
tion. and the fact that there is no op
portunity in Alaska for the investor to
receive any earnings, leads us to believe (
we can do a handsome business in that
field. It will be simply another tie
tending to bind Seattle and Alaska |
together." i

JEWISH HUMOR.
It* Flavor of Bittern*** and It* Bat
Ire of JadaUm.
Renan said of the Jews, "The Sem
itic people are almost entirely without
the power to laugh." Surely had he
looked for traces of Jewish humor In
the light which Heine casts back upon
Its dark tradition he would never have
made so sweeping a statement. Foi
eight years Heine lay upon tils "mat
tress grave", la Taris suffeAig excru
ciating agon}-. He deserved, he sold,
to have awarded to him "the grand
mortals of pain and misery." I.eopold
Zunz said almost the same words of
the whole Hebrew people, "{f there are
ranks in suffering, Israel takes prete
lenco of all the .nations." The htinior
of Israel is flavored with bitterness and
plays round the greater subjects of
thought and of speculation; plays like
tho humor of a man In pain.
Listen to the lament of a satirist
born at Aries in 1287 who finds the
works of the Jewish law an intolerable
burden and seems to have come, like
Heine, to the bitter conclusion that
"Judaism Is not a religion, it is a mis
fortune:"
Oh. hapless aire, distraught with cares.
Whose wife to hlir m.ilo-chlUlren bears,
For all of them, or rtch or poor.
Have only suffering to endure.
This Is caused, by the Jewish creed.
Whose yoke Is'hard to bear Indeed.
Its many laws and reflations
Which are unknown to other nations
Every Hebrew must observe
With watchful eye and straining nerve:
E'en though he shares In public functions.
Ho still must follow their Injunctions.
Tho Bible is not half enough:
Glosses there are and other stuff
In which he erudite must be,
Especially in theology.
In all tho Talmud rauy relate.
In authors' quarrels and debate.
In things particularly small.
Of no significance at all.
One more mediaeval quotation, this >
time from the pen of a Barcelona Jew .
The lines can hardly perhaps be called .
humorous, but they illustrate with a ,
certain terse comedy the great value
set by the race upon three things?
money, knowledge and domestic hap
piness. If a man has none of them the '
poet has no better advice to give him '
than to hold his tongue or to hang him- <
?elf:
What Is the most usoful thing to any
man In life?
Knowledge or wealth or a good and lov
'Ing wife.
But If none of these commodities man has
ever got
Then by keeping golden silcnce- he might
Improve his lot.
And If he cannot do so. that poor and hap
less knave,
Then let htm go away at once and dig
himself a grave.
On his deathbed Heine made hit lan
Joke, and It Is typically Jewish. "IJe
viewing his by no wans irreproacha
ble past," he ho(>ed that Clod might for
give him, "for e'est son metier"? (taint Is
his trade). Another story Illustrates
yet more perfectly tho bitter humor or
the Jew. It Is the story of a dying
rabbi "who had been all his lifetime
extremely religious, but had likewise
always suffered much want and mis- ?
ery. "Do you know,' he said to those
In the sickroom, 'If after all the sad ex- |
perlences I have had in the past there
Is no future life I shall be greatly
amused.' "?London Spectator.
Colophon.
Colophon -nas a city or ancient Ionia,
nine miles north of Ephesus, and near 1
the sea. It -was said to be the birth
place of Homer, and near it was a fa
mous oracle of Apollo. The Greek. prov
erb, "To pnt a colophon to it," mean- ?
tag to end an affair handsomely, la ex
plidnqd by Strnbo as arising from a
belief that the cavalry of Colophon was
so excellent in quality that their charge 1
was always decisive In a battle. Hence *
arose the custom of calling any d?vlc? ,
or monogram or printer's name or sign
or date of printing In old printed books
a colophon in the sense of a definite,
satisfactory end.
Tyeb? Brtlie.
It was the great eclipse of Aug. 21,
1500, fiat turned TyCho Brahe into an
astronomer. He was In his fourteenth
.year at the time, a Danish boy of no
ble origin, and had been destined first
for tho array and then for the law.
But the accuracy with whlrh the
eclipse was predicted impressed him
with the belief that astronomy was a
divine thing, and thenceforward he de
voted his life to it. The debt of as
tronomy to Tycho Brahe not only for
his own work, bet as the man who
shaped the genius of Kepler, can
scarcely be overestimated.
Dinner In n Bell.
In the tower of Erfurt cathedral
hangs a huge bell ten feet high and
thirty feet in circumference, weighing
thirteen tons. Within this In July,
1713, dined ten of the town's most
opulent burghers on dishes cooked in
a kitchen temporarily erected on the
beam that supported the ponderous
mass of tintlnnabulnry metal. To cele
brate this repast medals were struck,
having on the obverse the portraits of
the guests and on the reverse the rep
resentation of the curlons scene.
