Among Italians, a correspondent In Romo tells me, the origin of the term “fiasco" for failure is believed to have originated in the remark of an old Italian actor, says a writer in the Lon don Chronicle. He had in the course of a play to deliver a somewhat lengthy monologue, in which he invar iably scored a great success. It was his habit to always hold some object or other in his hand, changing the ar ticle every time he appeared, and never using the same thing twice. One evening, seeing a wine bottle (called in Italian fiasco), he seized it and proceeded on the stage to pro nounce his soliloquy. Whether it was that on that occasion the audience was extraordinarily difficult to please or whether it was that the actor was not up to his usual form, the fact remains that for once he did not ob tain his customary applause and “bis," from which time the phrase “fare fiasco” has become general in the Ital ian language. From a Church Calendar. The following appeared In a Pitts field, Mass., church calendar recently: "The church is not a refrigerator for preserving perishable piety. It is a dynamo for charging human wills. The object of the church is not to tell how to dodge difficulties, but to fur nish strength and courage to meet and master them. The business of the church is not to furnish hammocks for the lazy. It is rather to offer well fitting yokes for drawing life’s loads. The man who does not attend any : church virtually votes to do away with 1 all churches.” OWNER OF ROADSTER JARRED Offers Lift to Woman Carrying Baby in Pursuit of Husband Escaping in Buggy. James H. Sanks, a paper salesman in Indianapolis, the owner of a two seated roadster, and a heart full of sympathy for the pedestrian, is saying “Never again.” It is Sanks’ custom in the outlying districts of the city where street cars travel seldom, to offer a lift to pedestrians. Recently in the southeast part of the city, Sanks overtook a woman, with a baby in her arms, half walking, half running in the center of the street, and asked her whether she wished a lift. She got into the machine, and at once burst into tears. “Oh, sir,” she cried, “catch that bug gy ahead. My husband is in it, and he is running away from me. Oh, Oh!” Sanks was nonplused. “Oh, Oh,” she cried again, “do catch him; do. He’s an awful bad man, and as strong as three men, but I don’t want him to go. Maybe he’ll kill me, and maybe he’ll kill us both, if it makes him mad for me to follow him, but I want him to come back.” “Lady,” said Sanks, “you need a po liceman a whole lot worse than you need me, and besides, I just forgot, but I’ve got to go back the other way. I expect maybe you better get out.” “No, no, follow him.” “Please get out!” “No, faster, faster!” His passenger continued to urge full speed ahead, and Sanks began to con sider “jamming” the engine to force a stop, when he sighted a policeman on the next corner, to whom he succeeded in delivering the woman and her baby. Persons who wish to ride fvith Sanks now must have a certificate alleging their freedom from care and trouble of every kind. —Indianapolis Star. LIVED UNDER SIX SOVEREIGNS Aged Resident of New Brunswick Ascribed Long Life to His Ac ♦' and Early Retiring. / ,ing for his picture on his ont <’; li and fifth birthday an niv Levi \y. Richardson, said to be t man in New Brunswick, dii he had fairly started his on edth and sixth year. He 1- .1 ill for only about ten days. Richardson ascribed his long and remarkable preservation of faculties to going to bed early i being active. J3e had followed the operations of he war with the most careful atten tion, and his only ambition for the last year, says the Mutual Star, had been to live long enough to see Great Britain and its allies successful, for he had lived under six sovereigns and had watched with interest the ex pansion of the empire. More than SO children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren survive him. His Discovery. “If I do say so myself, I was right smart of a speaker when I was a kid!” modestly confessed Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge, Ark. “Many’s the time at school of a Friday afternoon that I’ve stepped forth on the rostrum aud recited ’The Boy Stood on the Burning Ddck,’ or ‘Woman, Spare That Tree 1' and such as that —” “Shucks, Gap!” broke in the store keeper who had been listening, “that there word hain’t ‘womanit's ‘wood man.’ ” “Well, that's devilish funny!” re turned Mr. Johnson. “I betcha I’ve recited that piece fifty times, in round numbers, and this is the first I’ve ever heard of that. You must be sorter mistaken, hain’t you, Gabe?" —Judge. Borrowing Wisdom, Not always have the disciples of Robert Burns, the Scotch peasant and poet, borrowed their wisdom from the master and eschewed his follies. To base uses has this sweet singer of social mirth been put, with the role forced upon him of select patron of the roystering and. soaking crew who find an excuse for bibulous excesses in Tam o’Shanter and Scotch Drink, and such imperishable lyrics of the j social hour as “O, Willie brew’d a peck of maut,” and “Auld Lang Syne v " Wisdom’s purer water of admiration for Burns exists in the silent deeps, where reading and thinking are done, far below the soiled, brawling foam created by Burnsite roysterers. —New York Telegram.
