THE ITALIAN IMMIGRANT.
Gets an Immense Amount of Pleasure
from Unexpected Sources—A
Clothes-Reel Comedy.
The Italian immigrant has a
happy gift of extracting pleasure
from unexpected sources, so many
commonplace objects of his new
home are yet wonders to him. A
j woman who lives in a pretty su
i burban residence, the long garden
i of which runs back to a small
I court upon which a row of tene
ment houses has just been erect
ed, discovered this recently when
she found a group of dark-eyed,
I dirty little boys dancing ecstat
ically on the platform of her
clothes dryer.
They were cheering on a daring
comrade, w’ho was clinging to the
outer cross-bar of the reel, relates
the Youth’s Companion. One of
his mates had set it spinning, and
the other boy was dizzily gyrat
ing aloft, mingling his excited
squeals of joy with the creaks and
groans of the overburdened ma
chine. Even as she looked there
was an ominous snap, and the fly
ing cherub came suddenly to earth
at her feet, where he sat softly
rubbing himself and staring up at
her, too dazed to cry. For the sake
of their own youthful bones she
thought it a case for severity, and
began to scold the intruders as
sternly as she knew how, conclud
ing rather helplessly with an im
patient, “Whatever made you do
such a silly thing, anyhow? An
swer me, can’t you?”
“Bullafuna, signorina!” whim
pered the fallen one. And it was
not until the remark was trans
lated by an Irish youngster, who
was peeping through the fence,
that she learned what the Italian
lad meant.
La ~ f _ 1 n __ £ »J
OCIJO 11 S3 LMill > I II11 ,
the Irish boy interpreted.
Arguments and remonstrances
quite failed to overcome the dan
gerous fascination of such a de
lightful gymnastic apparatus. The
woman had finally to take it down
and resort to the ancient and in
convenient clothes-line instead.
A far funnier case of perverted
entertainment occurred lately in
a Connecticut town in which the
drawbridge tender complained to
the police that the Italian resi
dents had fallen into the habit of
riding on the draw as if it were a
merry go round.
“Sometimes there’s as many as
500 of them,” he complained; “so
many that the draw won’t work
properly, and it most kills me try
ing to turn the crank. When I
holler at them to get off, they just
holler backhand don’t budge. They
aren’t ugly, but they won’t mind.
They all come — mothers and
babies, fellows and girls, and
sometimes they bring a hurdy
gurdy and dance while the bridge
swings round. It’s fun for them,
but it’s death to me. It’s got to
be stopped or I’ll resign. The
city didn’t hire me to run a whirli
gig side show to a circus.”
HE GETS A MONEY ORDER.
With the Money He Doesn’t Want to
Spend When Out with
the Boys.
“One of the queerest things 1
ever heard of,” said a young man,
who sometimes keeps late hours,
relates the Providence Journal,
‘is the action of a friend of mine,
who has a knack of saving, despite
the fact that sometimes when he
meets a friend he celebrates too
much. He always, after he has
had a fewT drinks and realizes that
he will take more before the end
of the evening, takes an account of
stock, as you may say. He finds
a eorner somewhere and there
figures up the amount of cash on
hand. Then he starts for the post
office.
“When he gets there he buys a
money order, payable to himself,
for an amount equal to the great
er part of the sum he has on hand.
This done, he mails the order to
himself, and then, certain of sav
ing that much of his money, at
least, through the evening, he
starts out to resume the joyous oc
cupation of enjoying himself. It
is a great scheme, and one I never
heard of anyone else using. It
works very well, indeed, with him.
I have seen men give a part of
their money to a bartender to take
care of for them, but this scheme
of buying a money order for your
self beats that. And you can get
a money order at the Providence
post office any hour of the night,
now.”

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The szale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassazle quality, the found**
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fractt$s*r^<
of a sezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this lii," (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reaJhed the goal,
—
Kimball is Prom inent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the zultivated human voice. An
inperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
Jlaim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of other of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
The Kimball System and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all. |
