MYSTERY OF THE JEWS.
The deeds of the Jews are just as
little known to the world as is their
real character. Some think they know
the Jews because they can recognize
their beards, which is all they have ever
revealed of themselves. Now, as during
the middle ages, they remain a
wandering mystery, a mystery that
may perhaps be solved on the day which
the prophet foretells, when there shall
be but one shepherd and one flock, and
the righteous who have suffered for the
good of humanity shall then receive a
glorious reward.
THE MOST DANGEROUS
WOMEN.
Yes, women are dangerous ; but I
must admit that beautiful women are
not so dangerous as those whose attractions
are intellectual rather than physical
; for the former are accustomed to
having men pay court to them, while
the latter meet the vanity of men halfway,
and through the bait of flattery
acquire a more powerful influence than
the beautiful women.
