PUNCH M JUDY.


The Origin of This Ever Popular English
Entertainment.
Generations of children have found
pleasure i'll witnessing til" antics of
Punch and Judy, and after nearly "A
century of popularity the ming thea
ter IN which their adventures are dis
played still gives umuuS, lncnt to both
young and old. The origin Of this al
ways attractive entertainment is not
English, as many who have enjoyed it
may suppose; hut, according to an old
book, Punch and Judy are of Italian
ancestry. IN the district Of Acczxn, near
dlCtcd 10 tn" making of wine from
grapes. and it is curious that from an
tiluity they have been famous for their
love of droll wit and comic fun.
Many years ago, i'll the season of the
vintage. winch Is IL time when every
body seems to be full of fun and frolic,
som" comic players came along through
Acezza. They began to poke fun at the
vintagcls, and in the wal of wit the
players got the worst of it.
Now, there was among the vintagcrs
II fellow with an enormous red nose,
long and crooked like a powder horn,
and he was the very drOllest and With
est of the whole company. The players
were so ticklcd with his witty sayings,
all set off by his odd face and very
queer air and manner, that they almost
went into Mysteries with laughter.
After they went away they began to
tI1,,lr that tIt. .l.,Il E.1t1,,. ,,11 L., q,
great accession to their company; so
they Went back and made offers to him.
These he accepted, and such was the
success of his efforts that the company
acquired great fame and IL great deal of
money. Everybody went to see this
witty butfOon, and all We're delighted.
This example led to the establish
ment of Il Groll or buttoon i'll all compa-
MES of comedians, and he was always
called after the original one. whose
name was Pucco d'Aniello. This was
i'll the course of time softcned into Po-
%lcccnCllo. The French made it Poliche-
mel, and the English Punchinello. Aft
err a time the English, for the sake of
brcvity, left off the latter part of the
word and called it plain Punch.
How Judy originated history does not
record, but it Is very easy to surmise
her story. Such IL merry fellow rs
Punch had as good a right to u wife aS
anybody. if he could get one. Why not:
One might think that his bectIike nose
would have stood in the way of his find
ing II woman willing to marry him, but
his Wit was an offset to this. Women
are fond of wit, and Punch would have
played his part i'll if he could o have
made 1t cover his nose.
Now that we have supposed Punch to
have had IA wife, and also supposed her
name to have been Judy. what more
natural than for this amiahle couple
now and then to have had a bit of u
breeze: They lived u wandering life,
and, like other people in their station,
took II little liquor to raise their spirits.
After the effect was over, feeling IL lit
tie pecvish, they fell to calling each
other hard names, and hard blows fol-
lowed: so this is their whole history.

Springfield Republican,: The outlook

beginning to fly about. Purchases of
raw material by the mills on an cX-

out in one direction it invites extension
in another. and so the whole business
movement moves outward and onward.
