 into the capable hands of John E.
 Young, its chorus good to look upon august parsonage, The Business Man,
 forget his cares in laughter. With just enough of a plot to leaven the
 whole. 1t was no wonder that packed
 house was present to greet the rise of the curtail fifteen minutes before 1t was expected.
 From the moments Happy Johnny Hickss, In the person of John E :. uunK, appeared upon the stage, the audience settled itself back in its chair and gave way to his infectious merriment. Seeing the name John E Young upon the program reminded many of the time, several years ago., when he sprung a song, Water" upon a Montgomery audience. and the craze which followed. Those who remem- bered the song wished to hear 1t again. but the line of talk with which the comedian Is supplied. soon made those who remembered forget everything but the present fun.
 Opening upon the scene of (. Virginia sanitariuri, in which Happy Hicks tells itom Cunningham how they both land ed there as a result of booze fight, in which Tom cracks another person of the story who doesn't appear, over the head with bottle, the situations develop without a strain on the part of the audience or of the actors-and the fun never stops. The story In Itself is not particularly funny, but most of the situations follow without the nebulous gness-as-guess-c can jumps that are made in most musical come dies. But we, forget--last nights at- traction was a comedy with music.

IMPROPER room FOR CH1EDREN

Do you know what marks the chief
difference betweea the children of the
rich and the very poor2 The quality Of
air they breathe and the food they eat.
Tenement districts are not well ventilated,
no attention is paid to neatness, and chill.
dren eat about the same kind of food
that keeps their elders aliye-seldom
nourishing for either.
And yet, think Of the things the chill
dren Of your acquaintance eatl In one
family know several kinds Of food have
been banished because the small son Of
the household had not been properly
trained. In another / have seen. FIVE.
year-old boy eat ripe Camembert cheesd
with every evidence Of enjoyment.
At a small store near q large school
house the bulk of the trade is in penny
purchases, Of pickles and lines, Of colored
candias and indigestible pastry and cakes.
These are the purchases Of children from
workingmen's families, children who
would be better without such food and
who should be taught to save pennies
rather than spend them. No wonder in.
digestion is firmly seated ON men and
women who are too young to be on inti-
mate terms with chronic disease. Chill.
dren are allowed to eat as they please, at
table and between meals, and the hard
earned dollars of parents go for medical

THE rIsH THAT GET AWAY

4
| I've fished in the old Ohio,
When freckied, bare. foot boy,
| Pulled .'cats" from the hole
With q hickory pole
And carried them home with JOY;
But among the cats, both large and small,
That / hooked in my bygone day,
The cat that wanted most OF all
Was the one that got away.
I've tossed the lively sinner,
With rod Of supple steel,
Where lie the bass
BY the floating grass,
And brought them in with the reel;
But Of all The bass ever caught
None was so large and fine,
None sent the blood through my veins 30
hot,
As the bass that broke my line.
I've waded the clear, cold Northern
streams,
And cast for speckled trout
Have found the fly
That took their eve,
And luFed the beauties out 4
But Of ail the trout that ever rise
From many teenaing brook,
None loom 20 large In memory's eyes
Asthe ones that slip the hook.
So runs the Rorld-our Wisest words
Are the words we fail to speak;
The sweetest kiss
Is the one we miss
The sweetest grapes we seek
Hang just too high; and we long and
look,
And sigh as We sadly say,
The best of the fish that come to our hook
Are the fsh that get away.
