The man who laughs is a blessing to the human race, but greater still is the man who makes other people laugh. It pays sometimes to be a humorist. Even our old friend I‘ammas, who en- tertained the people of Thrums with profession-1.1 fun, albeit his jokes were as dry as oat-meal itself, appreciated the importance of the humorist. An incident happened in New York recently which may aptly be described as victory fer humor. Nathan Plotkin bought a loaf of bread from Moses L‘oenthal. Regarding a knife as su- perfluous, Nathan took a huge bite, screamed and turned pale. There was a. mouse in the bread. “I haf in my bread a mouse found,”. he complained later to Loenthal, “and in my madness Igilaf some dished smashed. Vhat are you goin' to do apoud dot ? If he had not been a humorist. Loen- thal would have g1 avely under taken to explain the accidental pr esence of the mouse and would have soothed his cus- tomer with prsmises of future loaves containing flour only. On the contrary Loenthal laughed. He raised his hands and cried: “Vhat you expect for 5 cents 2’ Elephants?” And then Plot-kin, who ought to have been amused, grew angry. He fell upon Loenthal and smote him hip and thigh. , He could not appreciate humor. Now Plotkin has gone to jail. The Judge laughed, the jury laughed, and even the idle spectators in the court- room were entertained by Loenthal's retort. It was decided that Plotkin had no cause’for assault, and now he will have ample time to inoculate him- self with a love for humor in the quiet of his cell. We are glad of it. There is so much grim sorrow in the world, there is so evidenta disposition to givea, a pessimistic turn to .every minor trouble. and we are all so prone to anger that when a man like Loenthal seeks to disarm wrath with ready wit, we are disposed to regard him as albene- factor to the human race. life are pleased to chronicle this vic- tory for humor. It' IS evident that, al- though justice may be blind, there is a place under her'fifth rib, where she is not averse to being tickled. ‘ ‘ V'v V A Suggestion for Organ Concerts. Norwalk is well equipped with‘fine church organs, and it is equally fortun- ate in the possession of capable organ- ists. The splendid music of these in- struments, however, is enjoyed only .by those who attend church on Sunday, and even'then the programme is neces- sar ily limitcd to selections appropriate to the service and the day. A plan has recently been put into op- eration in Boston that could be adopted in N or walk with great advantage. Re- alizing that the magnificent organs .were silent from one Sunday to another the organists of t-hat city arranged a. series of free public recitals, at which the programmes consisted of popular selections—not pdpular in the sense of being trivial or'trashy, but because they were pleasingr and within the range of universal appreciation. For instance, no scheme contained an entire symphony or a complete sonata, but a. single melodious movement from each was selected. (Overtures. dainty inter‘ mezzos, brilliant waltzes and, in fact, good music of every description except the purely technical and classical com- prised the attractive, but not lengthy, programmes, and the result far sur- passed the most sanguine expectations. Thousands of persons, many of them entire strangers to the interior of a. sacred edifice, attended the concerts, and were delighted. Organ music ap- pealed to them from a new point of view, the organists became better- known, and both performers and audi- ence were benefited. There is no reason Why this same plan cannot be inaugurated here with equal- ly gratifying results. Surely the or- ganists would be willing to devote on one evening in the week some forty minutes or an hour——the concerts need not exceed this limit—~to a .recital of this popular character, and we have no doubt that the movement would be re- warded with hearty appreciation. It only needs some church to take. the in- ’ ‘ itintive to. make the plan a success. 1 ’ Such a church would widen the sphere W r: 1‘) KJ of its influence, it would dispense pleas- ure to thousands of music~lovers, and it would aid in 'developing a higher culture. The opportunity is one, it seems to us. which ought not to be neglected, Who will be the first to take advantage of it? Surely a suggestion so pregnant with great possibilities will not go un heeded. “ v‘ 7‘ FEMININE CHAT. Conscience may make cowards of us all, but it is nothing to what pain will do for a man. Canary birds are as much in demand for Christmas gifts as are little chick- ens at Easter. Unless the mind is at ease all the emulsions and tonics in the world will fail to build up the body. . The wise housewife keeps her eyes open regarding the number of pounds of coal served to her for a ton in these days of short weight and long prices. Perhaps the reason why so many rough diamonds are treated as they are in society is that the polite world thinks they require cutting. You may have outgrown your belief in Santa Claus, but if you still retain your love for candy toys you are not hopelessly old yet. A very pretty millinery conceit which costs a great deal more than seems possible is a wired bow held in the centre with ajeweled ornament. Chestnut burrs are being used quite profusely for dinner table decorations, together with holly and cones. A A-'~ ROSY CHEEKS AND SPARKLING EYES Follow the Use of Utah Kidney Beans.
