This Is a collection of the paragraphs which
have made the " Danbury News Mans" repu-
tation on the American press. One man
scarcely ever strikes more than one vein of
humor. There are some very good things but
after half dozen are read there is nothing new
or original, and wit Is one of the things that
sameness destroys absolutely. Surprise is its
main essential, and hence we contend that one
man never wrote and never can write enough
funny sketches to make a book.

more extended notice. of the following works
