Ruggin of the Young Men's Italian Association, the hand organ is | held up as an instrument of the devil and one of the agencies for the de- struction of the peace and dignity of tha State that requires attention. Many a man who has tried to sleep while one of the machines worked overtime on “Traviata” and “Aida” will be inclined to agree with the contention off-hand, but even such a one never suspected the diabolical things that lurk within opera factories. In urging the passage of the Daly Bill, prohibiting able-bodied folk from supplying the motive power for hand organs, the Association of- ficlally says “The hand organ, besides being a nuisance and playing bad music out of tune, lowers the moral standard of the Italian race in this country. It is a misconceived idea that organ grinders and women helpers exist in Italy “The hurdy-gurdy 1s a public nuis- ance because it disturbs people in the pursuit of business; those who work nights and must find repose in the day time; those who study at home and in the public libraries and sick patients both at home and in the hospitals. It is needless to say that the public achool teachers have dif- ficulty in preserving order when there is an organ playing outside. Those who are engaged in the business are professional beggars, and it makes a woman cheap to go into saloons and beg for pennies. These men are strong and healthy, fitted for all kinds of work. With such a great demand for labor they are wasting their time. “These men generally carry a wo- man with them, In some instances the woman is not married to the man. They are lured to this country upon vague promises made by. the hand- organ man.” GIVEN WATCH BY POLICEMEN.

You figure that the neighborhood musician is playing a ukalele by steam, but it is only the kid next door touring for the first time in a pair of musical shoes. We hope that man, who was seated one day at the organ, will never find that lost chord he wrote about. Thero are Jenough noises as it ix. We never heard a lost chord, but we have heard of a lot of chords that were orphans. That most sombre and sound that gyrates into your ear is the sour, whining noise of the jast nuggets of coal being mobilized in the cellar, When the last ton evaporates down to a mere thimbleful you are in a helluffer predicament. It's too warm to be winter and it's too cool jto de summer. ‘The coal is dwindling |like the size of the Bull Moose vote. |The situation is too homeopathic to | warrant the purchase of a ton of coal, | particularly in view of the fact that the dealers are selling it by the carat. All you need is enough coal to carry the caravan through for a few miles. You massage the cellar floor with a of bituminous material. By applying the Bertillon system to the remains you are able to identify enough coal to serve as ballast for a spoon, The sound of that contralto shovel limp- ing over the cement cellar 1s one of the most pitiable and sickening yodels in the regiment of summer noises. It {s a sure omen that sum- mer is about to break out in three different spots. The sharpening of the lawn mower is another heartrending clinic of majors and minors. If you can get accustomed to this dolorous collec- tion of orchestra! homicides, you can get used to having something with legs on in your huckleberry ple. The staccato riot that drags you away from your sleep each morning may be one of two things. It may be a cat seeking America first with wal- nut shells on its feet or it may be a cuckoo clock stuttering. When you aim a dumb eye at the insurrection all you see is a nelghbor measuring the tin roof for a new coat of paint. The racket is caused by his knees playing @ duet on the tin carpet, The institution is as full of noises as a worm in a chestnut is full of chestnut.
