MANY HAPPENINGS OF HUMOR HERE Scenes of Human Nature Exist in This @ity A, 3, - ‘While sauntering nonchalantly through the streets and byways, the wanderer who keeps his eyes open, S¢és many ftrivial but odd and of- Umes unusual sights and incidents during the busy rush of a city's life. Little acenes of humor, tales of the unny as well as the serious side of uman life are creeping up on all sides of us, but the philosopher, the optimist or the truly, natural born ' wunderer likes them. Apples. It was on the Shuttle Meadow road. A an and his wife were taking a etroll. Where the Shuttle Meadow Golt club was having a steam shovel dlg out a spot for a clay pigeon throwing machine, they rstopped to watch. Four or five small boys passed by ealing large red apples. They looked tempting. The man and his ‘wife walked on. In the course of half a mile they passed flve girls and seven or eight boys in “different groups, all eating apples of the same ripe, red and juicy quality. “Where did you set then®”” was asked one young American with a blouseful of fruit, “M-m-m down the m-m road,” he &ulped with a mouthful of apple. Fmally the source of the apple was found, but the couple learned that the apples were not being given given but they came from a tree standins close to the road which proved too | Zreat a temptation to the “kids.” The " hikers’’ returned home appleless. .Some Catch. An avtomobile was going up Church street at about 12 miles an hour. On | the front seat was a man driving and « small child leaning far out over the door. In the rear sat a woman, pre- sumably the mother of the child. The car ‘swung around the traffic police- man at the corner of Main and came to a sudden stop as another car sud- denly dodged in front. The jolt of the | etop caused the baby, who had been leaning almost half way out, to lose its balarcg and over the door it went. But, as is being stated by a local evangelist, the day of miracles does net seem to be over. The mother, watching, with growing uneasiness the cnild, screamed and grabbed for her youngster as said child plunged head over heels over the door. Traffic Po- liceman Wagner gasped in wonder as the woman caught the child by one hand, literally picking it out of the air. None the worse for ith adven- tare the youngster was placed on a rear seat with the watchful mother and the car proceeded. The Vanishing Bike. A messenger boy rode his wheel kup to the post office, where he left it standing balanced against the curb as he went inside. A large moving ‘'van drove up alongside the bicycle and stopped. The van was first to leave, it brushed against the wheel so close that spectators could imagine the air caused by the moving truck disturbed the balance of the bicycle, but the rear end swung by and never touched it. Just as those who were watching to see a smashed bicycle turned away, assured that it would not be struck, there was a shout and the wheel was seen van- The Reward of Justice Thirty yurs‘.oi giving just value in tea has gained for "SALADA" The Larg T™¥E A st Sale in America H261 mlfll‘ 2way, neither were they being sold, | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 24 ishing down the street, hanging to a rope on the rear of the truck. The rope, looped about the end of the truck had been swinging like a clock pendulum, just as it passed the “bike” the loop swung over and caught on the handlebars and the bike was recovered somewhere near City Hall. An Ounce of Prevention. At the Junior High school a boy was instructed to get a suitable motto to place on the bulletin board, to help along the better teeth cam- paign. In true boy style he . found one he thought would appeal to school children. No doubt he was right. Here it is: “He who fights his teeth decay; Will live to.chew another day. Has Tabulated. A local traffic cop has been sizing up motorists as they pass his station and has been classifying them ac- cording to their actions. ‘Here is his report: “Eight out of 10 drivers are caretul and considerate of the rights of others,-the ninth is a darn fool and the tenth is a road hog.” The Hand of Suspicion, Etc. A prominent county official from Hartford in an address here recently stated, talking of the rum ring in- vestigation, that “If the people of New Britain were told that Mayor Curtis or any prominent official was found driving an old horse and cart around. the streets peddling moon- shine at a dollar a quart, they ~ould be willing to believe it.”” This con- dition is shown in an amusing story which Patrick F. King, chairman of the board of police commissioners is telling at his own expense. On the day Sergeant Richardson and his two sons were arrested, the Herald made an attempt to et in touch with Mr. King at his office in the\ Stanley Works, but was informed that he had left in a hurry. It later developed that the hurry was caused by noth- |ing more serious than a delayed ap- pointment, but it was assumed at that time that the chairman had hur- ried out when advised of the arrest of the detective sergeant in order to take what official action he might find necessary at once. That night Mr. King was in a local restaurant when he overheard two young ladies read the paper. After coming to statement that Mr. King had left in a hurry, one of the girls, who evi- dently did not know the subject of her remarks was within hearing dis- tance, exclaimed. “‘Gee, they not only arrested Richardson, but P. F. King hag skipped out of town.” i Antedeluvianism. On- the Myrtle street side of the Corbin /Screw factory is an eight foot fence made of two-inch square wire mesh. A small boy wanted to look through the factory wondows. the | He was not tall enough to see, but he was in his bare feet. Somewhere, away back in his subconscious intel- lect there remained probably the re- membrance of a trick of his ances- tors as per Darwin theory. His shoes removed, he grasped -the meshes of the fence as firmly with his toes as he did with his fingers and the fence at once ceased to be a difficulty. Other_children in the crowd gasped with admiring awe but were unable to duplicate the feat, (or feet). A Diplomatic New Year’s A letfer arrived yesterday at the local postoffice. It was addressed to “Mr. Santa Claus, Heaven.” The contents of the letterm Inside the envelope was found a card bearing the words “A Happy New Year” in Jewish. Underneath was the English translation‘in pencil. On the opposite side of the card was the mas. sage. “Send something to 58 South Main street.” RUSTIC INN RAIDED, 10 PERSONS CAUGHT }Gufl!ord Road House Visited by State Policemen Early Sunday Morning.
