THE ITALIAN IMMIGRANT.
Acts an Immense Amount of Pleasure
from Unexpected SourceB—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
woman tvho lives in a pretty su
burban residence, the long garden
of which runs back to a small
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,
dirty little boys dancing ecstat
ically on the platform of her
clothes dryer.
They were cheering on a daring
comrade, who 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
* ominous snap, and the fly
£ crub came buddeuly to earth
[* feet, where he sat softly
running 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 father 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
_x*l XI. -___ x_

lated by an Irish youngster, who
was peeping through the fence,
that she learned what the Italian
hid meant.
“Sure, he says it’s bully fun,”
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
600 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 back, and 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
gurdfc- and dance while the bridge
■wings round. It’s fun for them,
but it’s death to me. It’s got to
be stopped or I’ll resign. Ths
eity didn’t hire me to run a whirli
ng si le show to a circus.”

PUNISH MURDER
The frightful double murde
j committed at Newport Tuesda:
afternoon ought to put the au
thorities of the various railroac
| towns in the state on notice tha
a horde of tramps and confident
j men are making their way south
wards. Some of them left St
Louis at the close of the expos!
i tion and have been making theii
I way through adjoining states foi
| the past month. There are
many dangerous characters ir
this aggregation of h( boes anc
crooks, and such crimes as thal
committed at Newport should
arouse every officer to a sense
of peril1 from these irre
sponsible characters. — Little
