HOW TO TAKE 4 JOKE.
And when !. ]. Not Good ra.s. TO s.a,..

And When II IL Not Good Taste TO Mako =
Joke
There is only one way to take o joke
and that Is with good nature. II ono
shows annoyance. he is apt very soon
to become the prey Of those social pests,
the practical jokers II any man come
TO be looked upon as the legitimate vic.
tim for the silly pranks which practical
lokers delight in planning. then viii his
life become indeed o burden TO him.
When practical joker gets mp some
piece Of folly which Is innocent in itself
and Is not calculated 70 bring contempt
upon the victim, then any person with q
sense Of humor can forgive il being
played upon him. He has been the clown
in the circus, and he has acted against
his will, but the performance has pro-
yolfed innocent merriment, and no one
is worse of for the little advertisement.
But when q practical Joker gets up some
nonsense not saved by fun from the
stupidity which more or less always pre-
ponderates in a trivial performance, and
the carrying out Of the so called Joke
gives pain or does injury, then the VIC
tim should seek redress in the same way
he would employ II his barn or dwelling
were burned down by an incendinry. A
man who feels called upon to make Jokes
had best be pretty certain of his sense of
humor and his capacity to determine
what fun is before he goes very far with
his prediction. Without this sense or
this capacity he may get d broken head
and well deserve it, even though he only
meant to have a laugh.
When Jokes are not practical that is,
when they require no plan or elabora-
ton, but are spontaneous is not hard
for a man not enyeloped in vanity and
self love to take them good naturally
But when the laugh be turned against q
conceited man, Lord how he does vince
and squirm and hate the fellow who
made the joke. To such men it is good
counsel to advise them not to show their
wounds however much they hurt. To
those who know such men it is good
counsel to advise them to never make
jokes at the expense Of the vain. 1t will
not do any good, for IL n man grow to
maturity and is still full Of vanity he
illkeep it till he dies. Neither misfor-
tune, failure, adversely nor suffering will
take the vanity out Of q man really vain.
his conceits stick to him as close as did
the faith Of Job to that patient person.
The joker had best leave such as these
alone and exercise his talents on those
who will give and take and enjoy q good
thing whether it strikes at home or very
far afield. m
