Magisterial Wisdom
When called upon recently
settle/a quarrel between two Jew­
ish women, a London magistrate
handed a cony of the Bible to the
official Interpreter, saying: "Take
these women out of court and read
them the one Hundred Thirty-third
Psalm
One of the women has
only a limited knowledge ot Eng
glisti. Translate it for her into
Yiddish.”
Later, the Interpreter
returned to court and reported that
the magistrate’s scheme had been
entirely «successful. Tlie first sen­
tence of the p®alm reads: "Behold,
how good and how pleasant it is
fur brethren to dwell together in
unity."
The Cynical Flounder

depths, but enough things are
there to keep «Ise men thinking
