A Joke That Ended in Death.

Entertaining are some anecdotes
told of Gonella, Jester to Borso, Duke
of Ferrara, in the fifteenth century.
As Gonella was on his way to mass
three blind beggars implored aims OF
him. "Here is form for you" He
gave nothing and passed on. The beg
gars invoked blessings on him, each
protesting that one of his fellows was
in possession OF the coin. When they
wished to divide the gift not one OF
them would allow that he held it, and
they mutually accused each other OF
cheating, and from words proceeded
to blows. Gonella watched the fray
with great complacency, and when
the beggars were all bruised and
bleeding he went to church with
clear and calm conscience. The Duke
OF Ferrara fell i'll, and the doctors de-
clared that only sudden fright would
restore him to health. He was too
great man for anyone to play tricks
on except his fool. Gonella was with
him in boat, and cleverly pushe,
the Duke into the water. Aid
had been previously provided.
and the Prince was drawn ashore
and put to bed. The fright and
the bath and the bed cured the invalid.
but he was SO enraged with Gonella
that he exiled the man who was both u
fool and a physician. Gonella returned
in cart filled with Padaun soil; an
evasion OF the edict OF enlistment b said
to have been practiced by many a jest
er. The duke ordered him to be be-
headed, but saying privately that he
would only repay fright with fright he
directed the executioner not to use the
axe, but to let fall a single drop of water
on the culprit's neck. Gonella was led
to the scafrolds all the usual gloomy
preparations were made. He was
blindfolded and made to lay his head
on block. The executioncr, from a
vial, let fall a drop OF water on Con
elias neck. Then amid shouts and
laughter the jester. silent now, was bid
den to rise and thank the Duke for his
clemency. But Gonella never moved;
he was dead-killed by his masters 8
