...stories of hunting both birds and large game and accounts of bicycling, skating and the old Princeton cane spree, all of which are highly entertaining. The illustrations in this Outing deserve particular attention-they are much better than those found in the ordinary magazine. Those who are interested in western mountain life will enjoy reading "Shasta of Siskiyou," and "Lost in the Rockies," a story of Avalanche Gulch, near Helena, Montana...

These extra-Palestinian Jews (or as they are technically called, the Dispersion), were very widely scattered all over the Western world. They appeared in Asia Minor and along the northern coast of Africa. A large portion of the cities of Alexandria and Rome were populated by Jews. These Jews clung firmly together, and established synagogues wherever they happened to be.
