IMMORTALITY OF jokes.
Mark Twain Thinks Humor is the
Great Thing,

Great Thing.
Well, humor is the great thing. the
saving thing, after ali. The moment
it crops up all our hardnesses yield,
all our irritations and resentments fit
away, and Il sunny spirit takes their
place. I remember exploding it's
American counter mine once under
that grand hero Napoleon. He was
only first consul then and was con-
sul-general-for the United States.
of course; but we We're very intimate,
Notwithstanding the difference in
rank, for l waived that. One day
something offered the opening, and he
said:
"Well general, l suppose life can
never get entirely dull to an Ameri-
can, because whenever he can't strike
up any other way to put in his time,
he can always get away with a few
years trying to find out who his
grandfather was!'
1 fairly shouted, for I had never
heard it sound better, and then was
back at him quick as fash.
Fright, your excellency! But l
reckon t'renchman's got his little
standby for dull time, too; because
when all other interests fail he can
turn in and see if he can't find out
who his father was!'
Well, you should have heard him
just whoop and cackle and carry on!
He reached up and hit me on the
shoulder and says:
Land, but its good! It's immense
~ gocd!' TGeorge 1 never heard it
said so good in my life before! Say it
again.
So 1 said it again. and he said his
again, and l said mine again, and he
did, and then l did, anG then he did,
and we kept on doing it, and doing it,
and I never had such Il good time,
and he said the same. In my opinion
there isn't anything that is as killing
as one of those dear, old ripe pension
ers if you know how to snatch it out
in kind of Il fresh sort of original
way.-North American Review.
