Funny Jewish stories are invented by the Jews to amuse not themselves but the Gentiles, according to Mr Thomas Burke in a new book "Living in Bloomsbury." Here is one of the author's examples: “Father, playing with little Abie, four years old. picked him up and set him on the mantelshelf. ‘Now, come on. Abie, jump down. Jump down into Fader's arms. Little Abie shrank from the jump. ‘Come on. Abie. Fader wouldn't let you fall for worlds. Yuh know that. Jump. Abie.’ So at last Abie jumped, and father stepped aside, and Abie came conk on the carpet. There. Abie, boy. let that be a lesson to yuh in business life. Never trust anybody.'"
