Holbrook of Chicago, dis- coursed on this topic for one hour nnda half before the Men’s club Tuesday night in the Presbyterian Church to .u good-sized! but not overcrowded audience. The even- ing was unfortunate for two reasons, election day and Prof. Gray had a lecture on electricity before the Young Men’s club at the same hour. When the young men found about Mr. Holbrook‘s coming they should have arranged for another 'night; it wasnot- giving the professor fair treatinent.,. The election so com- pletely laid out lots of candidates that they did not appear for the good cheer of the hour. Mr. Holbrook made out that wit is purely an intellectual gift or pro» cess. utterly without sentiment. while humor is all heart. A witty man may be a cynic like Sidney Smith; a humorous one always is bighearted like HLincoln. He then gave scores of illustrations of wit and humor «- too many of them, and not all up to his average high- Water mark- and he kept his audience in the best of humor all the time, and though a little tedious toward the last, all seemed to enjoy it. He closed with isms prcctz;- appltmtiens of his theme. The general criticism, so far as there was any, was thatit was too literary for a mixed audience. ()ur opinion is, the audience was “too mixed” up with local, politics: their own minds were not clear. Then too, some people are as destitute of any appreciation of such a theme as a hen is of teeth. and how could they appreciate it. , It was a good thing and the wonder to us is that the Club has succeded in a whole course of such average high grade of excel~ lence. It will be time for others to criticise when they can do as well. let doing better wholly alone. THE HIGHLAND PARK NEWS.’ The last time we were east we. met an idea. It was not lying around idle and useless: eastern ideas don't act in that way. They are active. on the alert and doing something. This bright idea had got into a fellow 5 head to utilize the fat and tallow wastes of the kitchen. of which there are large quantities among our east side. families especially. This fellow took it all, gathered once a week. and made it into good laundry soap, and anyone who has used these “home- made" soaps know how much’ better they are than any you can get of your grocer, because they are pure. This fellow had a regular echedule, so much soap for so much tallow or lard waste, and he had built up a big and prosperous industry. WIT AND HUMOR.
