Stanley Quay has a subdued but very eirec-
tive laugh. 1t apparently comes witho t
any effort and his face in repose is so devoid
of any signs of risble emot on that when il
does light up, tho joker feels iatter4d and
enc uraged. 1t is not the genuine perfume
tory smoker, but a happy cross between
that and the he, he, ha, ha. During the
recent campaign, Mr.. Quay as chairman Of
the republican national committee, heard
1909 alleged original campaign jokes, 205
that were clearly paraphrased and $50 So
called side-splitting stories as told from the
rostrum. These he could not avoid hearing
because they were told by friends and co.
ple introduced by friends, When Gen,
VIM. Cassius Goodloe of Kentucky, who
had charge Of the speaking department at
republican national headquarters, dubbed
the orators, spellbinders, it is said Senator
Quay INDUCED in regular be he, ha, ha,
the first during the campaign, The second
one was after the election.
George Washington Childs has broad
brotherly love beam upon his face that re-
sembles old pictures Of William Penn in the
act of making treaty with the Indians. 1t
is an earnest beam and has suggestions of
philanthropy in it, Often men in relating
jokes to him have been deceived by his
beam, thinking he was laughing before the
point was reached. His laugl for jokes is
free and easy and apparently natural. He
never makes dental exclamation, i. e., be-
tween his teeth. He opens his mouth and
does what is very rare with the most skill
full laugher; he smiles aud OUTLAWS on
minor key. 1t is not political hastings
gutfaw, but a robust, well modulated uoise
that is not at all harsh to the most hyper
critically sensitive ears.
Mr.. Childs enjoys epigrammatic humor
and, of course, he finds 1t in the paragraphs
of newspapers. But he IS good-natured and
laughs at the prolific story tiend who begins,
that reminds me, etc.
Senator George Frisbie Hoar has pecu-
liar he, he, without the ha, ha. His cachin-
nation is in a rancorous tone, but it has a
decided effect. People excuse the tone be-
cause they know the effect of the east winds
upon the average Bostonian's voice Too
gutfaw is not in his range, and
in making attempts TO reach il his
laughter reaches a shrill falsetto high c.
He has been in public life many years and
his friends say he strained his laughing
voice in his hrst three or four campaigns.
The classical joke than Rubus Sulpicius, the
great Roman lawyer, told to Cicero, amuses
the Bay state fenator, not because it is
ancient, but because he Is a good Latin
cholar, and it is refreshing to hear ioko
in a dead language.
Rhode Island. though small, has good
laughers. Senator Neson W. Aldrich has
ripping, unaffected laugh, that would
make the fortune of a commercial tourist
His eyes sparkle, and his face is corrugated
into genuine wrinkles that a simulated laugh
could not produce His he, he, is iaimita-
BILE and has made him some strong aud
powerful friends. Then his guffaw is not
lauguid, but far-reaching and penetrating.
Hierarchy ever outlaws, but when he does it
counts He is fond of fun in any shape,
provided his stanch little state is not fhe
subject. He thoroughly enjoys any new
joke attributed to Abraham Lincoln or
Artemus Ward. The senator is 50 good
natured, it is said, be has often laughed
heartily at the intended humorous remarks
of his fellow senators.
