This being the first Of April we intend
To LAUNCH out on theme without fetter;
and AH-kool's Day to foOlery being friend.
Really. the more absurd we are the better
Heigh-ho, children, this is April, with
its freakish weather-''first sunshine, then
tears" Perhaps, that is the reason that on
the first day of this month all kinds of
deceptive pranks are played.
Children bound out of bed, with hearts
full OF frolic and fun. bent on fooling some
body. They wrap empty boxes with par
ticular care, drop them on walkways and
hide In some nearby place to enjoy the
April fool Of somebody. Papa's morning
nap Is disturbed by some merry voice
shouting: "a messenger boy with tele-
gram" Mamma is sent to the parior to see
a neighbor who has called on urgent
business. Mrs. Smith is told she is wanted
at once at Mrs. Browns.
Children await with gleeful delight the
results of their innocent deceiylngs. The
hunor become contagious. The older
hearts grow warm with happiness and
turn to the burdens of the day with an
added cheerfulness.
Antiquaries are not agreed as to the
origin of this manner of celebrating the
first OF April. but they have found 1t quite
universal. Hindoos, Persians, French and
English and others enjoy it In much the
same way.
This day and month was specially d.

laughter, by the Romans
