THE ITALIAN IMMIGRANT.
Gets an Immense Amount of Ple&xara
from Unexpected Sources—A
Clothes-R.ee] 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 who lives in a pretty su
burban residence, the long garden
of which runs back to a small
court upon w hich a row of tene
ment houses lias 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
It is mates had set it spinning, and
the other boy was dizzily gyrat
ing aloft, mingling bis excited
squeals of joy with the creaks and
groans of the overburdened ma
chine. Even us she looked there
was an ominous snap, and the fly
ing cherub came suddenly to earth
at her feet, where be 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 intniders as
sternly as she knew how, conclud
ing rather helplessly with an im
patient, “Whatever made you do
such a silly thing, anyhow? An
owct nit*, tan i i
“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.
“Sure, he says it’s bufly fua,*
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
main that the draw won’t work
properly, and it most kills me try
ing to turn (he crank. When I
holle r at them to get off, they just
holler back, and don't budge. They
aren't ugly, but they won-’t mind.
They ail crane — mothers and
babies, fellows and girls, and
sometimes they bring a hardy*
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 Hi resign. The
city didn't hire me to run a whirli
gig side show to n cirrus.”
ME GETS A MONEY ORDER.
With the Mon-ey 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,
M ho has a knack of saving, despite
the fact that sometimes when he
meets a friend he celebrates too
much, fie always, after he has
had a few drinks and realizes that
he M'ill take more before the end
of the evening, takes an account of
stock, as you may say. He finds
a corner 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 ou hand.
This done, he mails the order to
himself, and then, certain of aav*
ing that much of his money, at
least, through the evening, he
starts out to resume the joyousoo
enpution 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, bnt this srliemo
of buying a money order for your*
self beats that. And you can get
a money order at the Providence
post office ao^ hoar of the night,
