"Well," said the other, 1--WE can talk in

The Excuse for q Lazy Slave.

I have been long while trying to get
good pathetic story, and this is the only
one have been able to find: During the
slavery days one of the slaves on certain
plantation down South was very lazy and
was not in the habit of reporting at the
regular place for work until an hour or so
after the usual time. Whipping and al
sorts of other punishments were resorted to,
but they did not check his laziness. One
morning his wife appeared about o'clock
and the overseer angrily called out to herr
"Where's Jim?"
'Dead, massa," she said, "guess you'll
have to 'scuse Jim dis mornin' cause he's
dead"

Taking the Bible Literally.

Negroes frequently take everything very
literally, especially the scriptures. One
that heard of had had II children, and
given them all Biblical names; when the
twelfth one came he called it Hallowey, and
when some one asked him, "What do you
mean by giving your child such a name as
that? There's no such name in the Bible"
he answered, "Why, yes dey is. It's at de
beginnin' OBJ de Lawd's Hallowey

That ought to please our friend Colonel
Elliott T. Shepard.

Believes in Economy Of Feernrx

This being the Christmas season, every
body is expected to be generous. You know
when they say man is generous to fault,
the fault Is generally one Of his own. Tall
men are so tall they are generally out of
reach of temptation, but SO short I am just
in it. so hope my readers will overlook my
shortcomings. Still, I have hopes. My
friend Nat Goodwin calls me q theological
comedian, who will get off an old gag and
then give horn of plenty. 1 believe with
Mr.. Depew, who said: "The rattle Of the

the sound of the clarion to the war horse"

allow funerals to pass openly through our

Tho Brains of an Audienee.

It has not been my experience that the
best jokes are always the ones which are
most laughed at An audience generally
has great effect upon q performer, and I
know it has on me. In some places find
that the fun comes to me as freely as it does
at home. I have often had people cit dur
ing whole performance and not seem to
laugh or enjoy it at all, yet at the close of
the entertainment, the secretary or gentle
man who presided, would surprise me by
saying, 'sThis has been the best thing in
our whole course; we never were more
charmed; see how enthusiastic the audience
were"
1 would like to say here that it Is not at
all helpful to the lecturer to be told that
his audience is very critical Committees
have often come to me before an entertain
ment and said, ''Mr. Wilder, these people
are awfully critical"
"Well," always answer, "we1l find out
all about that"
1 often go in and give them lot of horse
play, and find out that these critical
audiences will laugh, when, if give them
fine material, things acknowledged to be
good, they will pass them by unnoticed.
This frequently happens because the au-
dience is not up to the news of the day and
does not understand the illusions made;
they don't read the papers carefully
enough.
